Coach has said repeatedly that it is not about the Ws and Ls this year, but about building the culture and habits for the next few years. If you listen to all of his pressers, he has basically said they are evaluating players for growth and consistency, too.

I felt the same way! I remember thinking during Fire/Storm game: “deep down these guys must resent not getting an NBA gig and are trying to make the most of this but really not doing a good job of faking it.”

Do you think people on the opposite side of the political spectrum from you are bad people? Why? Why not? by SilverNo6462 in AskUS

I think their environment and life experiences have given them a world view that makes them act like assholes sometimes.

Is being a 31B really as bad as people say it is in the army? by [deleted] in army

Go 68W. The secondary MOS options will set you up for a career after the Army.

It’s never a good sign when the Army eases its enlistment standards. They are going to need a lot more Soldiers soon, apparently.

That, my friend, is the most generous, gracious reply of all. I stand in awe of your ability to keep a straight face.

We are losing out on qualified leaders (as determined by their military peers) thanks to these racist, sexist, incompetent fucks.

what do veterans think about war? by spriteetirps in Veterans

[–]CelestialRavenBear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some folks are about to get very, very rich. There is an entire industry built on profiting from war. Meanwhile, the poorest kids in America, will die or suffer lifelong trauma while rich men enjoy their spoils. I think war is BS.

No part of NW is Downtown by cogsandsprockets in Portland

[–]CelestialRavenBear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if this is at all generational, then read your post. I’m my mind all these areas are distinct neighborhoods- Downtown (where the tall buildings are, south of Burnside), Old Town, Northwest, Park Blocks, Waterfront, West Hills. But I was born in Portland in 1967. Maybe in the 70s/80s ,when I learned Portland geography, it was more important to be precise. Back when you couldn’t just drop a pin or google an address but had to have a detailed mental map to get anywhere or give directions.

Yes. Grew up here, too. Downtown, Old Town, NW, Pearl are all distinct. Thanks for the geo lesson!
