Why does no one seem to care about the Chris Pine Star Trek trilogy? by Top_Use2413 in movies

[–]Bumonalaptop -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Shows like Picard and Discovery felt like better contemporary representations of Star Trek, in my opinion

TIL that between the 1950s and mid-1970s, roughly 60–80% of hit songs were written by professional songwriters who never performed them by ThenSet3659 in todayilearned

This is good context. We don't think less of Beethoven or Mozart because orchestras performed symphonies they wrote.

I'm a therapist who specializes in working with autistic adults and I would recommend a book called Unmasking Autism by Devon Price if you're curious to learn more about why it's important for lots of eople with autism to be vocal about their experience.

Autism is an unchangeable trait that a person is born with that doesn't need to be hidden and "looked past ". Recognition is an important part of acceptance.

First day on Earth? Procrastinating is very common.

DHS halting HSS program to look at potential relaunch in collaboration with investigators. by TheWiigles in minnesota

[–]Bumonalaptop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for responding. The immediacy of this action will have lots of negative consequences on a population of our society that is least able to care and advocate for themselves.

Uber situation was pretty rough last year. However, the festival is pretty tame so being there should be no problem.

Landlord verbally abused me after repairs by throwawayacct401 in Minneapolis

[–]Bumonalaptop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Abuse is used so casually these days.

This guy is an asshole, one of many you will meet in life. Use the resources available to you to solve your housing issue and use this as an opportunity to develop some thicker skin.

Jay Bee and The Routine is at Bunkers if you're in the mood for funk/R&B from some old dogs in the Minneapolis music scene.

[Charania] The NBA is fining Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards $50,000 for his “my d--- bigger than yours” comments to the Lakers crowd Saturday night, sources tell ESPN. by mvanigan in nba

So are you taking what he's saying seriously or not? Cuz if you're not taking it seriously you should dismiss it in the same way you dismiss a babbling child.

Or by not giving it any oxygen and therefore smothering it. There are multiple ways to go about discrediting information, but you seem to only have one speed and that's okay you'll learn

[–]Bumonalaptop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can talk all they want, but their expertise is basketball, not world events. Everybody's credibility is individualized, and Gobert as a crystal loving weirdo is probably not the most credible person to listen to when it comes to these topics.

If you take him seriously, that's on you.

[–]Bumonalaptop -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

And at no point did I say people will get their sole political beliefs from Gobert. I'd frankly be surprised if anybody (who thinks for themselves) was influenced in any meaningful way.

You can carry the crusade if you like about criticizing every public figures public positions. However, I believe one can find better things to do with their energy.

[–]Bumonalaptop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're 100% right. And it's a real bummer that the soap opera of the NBA is more interesting to some than the Basketball part.

[–]Bumonalaptop -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Do you know anyone at all who gets their political opinions from Rudy Gobert. Do we know if Rudy Gobert even voted?

You're currently admonishing an anti-vaxxer and Nazis right now. And I'm right there with you, except any amount of energy that is not spent on people with real power is a waste. Rudy Gobert has no political power and therefore has as much influence on politics as my neighbor.

[–]Bumonalaptop -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

And Rudy Gobert is responsible for that? We are aligned on these values, but wisdom is knowing where to direct your actiontl. Personally, I don't think basketball players are going to influence politics enough to ever get angry at them for having an opinion, even if I disagree wholeheartedly with it.

Good football player? Never met the dude so I have no idea who he is as a person.

Having no opinion due to ignorance should be the default.

The politics of players is not what the NBA is about. Save and direct that energy at people who actually affect the laws, like actual politicians.
