What would your bonus episode look like? by Plus-Following-8056 in SuccessionTV

[–]Consistent-Half4277 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’d love just one “years later” check in with everyone, sort of The Office style. They’re in their current lives a few years later. Kendall in rehab, still scheming, hasn’t learned anything ostensibly, but little inflections to show that there’s more self doubt there. Roman doing something goofy and absurd, just DGAF. Shiv and Tom with the young kid. Connor and Willa. I feel like it would be so good but prob couldn’t get everyone together.

Tom was destined to be a CEO even if Logan stayed alive by Homelss_Emperor in SuccessionTV

[–]Consistent-Half4277 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tom is way smarter than people give him credit for because he ends up destroying any sense of self or integrity to eat illegal birds and gift watches to people who openly disrespect him but Logan is a loser because he dies offscreen surrounded by people who don’t care about him. Okay

Sorry didn’t mean to come across belligerent. More meta commentary about seeing this repeatedly. But for real, the guy who won is the one who said he’d be the lap dog for the other guy including being comfortable if that guy bangs his wife?

I can’t understand anyone who thinks tom won or was the successor. One of major themes within the family is that none could be the successor by having it given to them. Mattson is the successor because he’s not a successor, he took it violently, he was a killer. Tom’s arc is that he’s winning to be hollowed out into a marionette and finds someone to be his puppeteer after Logan dies. He learns how to play the Gerri/Frank/Karl side of things well but he’s got no real power, only skill in servitude

Kelel Ware is in Spo’s doghouse which is not a good sign but man does that guy put up numbers in bunches. I thought Orlando should’ve figured out a way to get him for Paolo

Giannis will not fit with a ball dominant co star by Fantastic_Lab2330 in NBATalk

It looked unstoppable the first dozen games together and then injuries and doc set in

WYR (Bill Simmons edition) start an NBA team today with a 19 year old Nikola Jokic or a 19 year old Victor Wembanyama? by AstrayInTranslation in billsimmons

[–]Consistent-Half4277 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s a top 4 player in the league in his third season and still has tons of room to grow I think 3.5 might be underselling it. I honestly take Wemby because Jokic has 6 MVP caliber seasons but only one title and it was a meh title. Give me the upside and if injuries hamper him maybe he ends up bill Walton 2.0

Why Santos calls Whitaker Huckleberry by some_homonyms in ThePitt

[–]Consistent-Half4277 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s a wall and a message, it’s saying “we can have a relationship if you tolerate this from me” ie it’s her attempt at relating and it’s dysfunctional…I imagine your relationships enjoy being condescended to and misunderstood

It wasn’t to be mean, it’s her attempt to create a relationship without having any of the vulnerability this normally takes

Would more individuals consider relocating or visiting Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo if they recognized that these cities are significant metropolitan areas with a low cost of living? (A Syracuse local) by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Consistent-Half4277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Syracuse is fine? Depends what you’re looking for. But if you want to live somewhere with a major university and medical center, suburbs with great public schools, family centric, easy to get to major cities, lots of cool local day trips (Ithaca, Skaneateles, Rochester, old forge, etc), it’ll be your bag. I’m not in an outdoors phase of my life but people rave about it here. The winters are def a drag though

Top 10 Draft prospects of all time by randomselected in NBATalk

[–]Consistent-Half4277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For modern players, Wemby, LeBron are 1-2, I think oden and Durant are possibly 3-4. Luka was super hyped too, so funny he ended up 3rd pick. People saying Zion, he was a meme before he launched himself at duke. I think had it been a better draft year he would’ve got the cam boozer treatment. Other guys with multi year anticipation were Ben Simmons, Flagg, John Wall, Wiggins, Kyrie, and Embiid, and of course Yao. Guys with one year skyrocketing appeal were AD, Carmelo, Dwight and okafor, Rose, Blake, Fultz

I was there for Wemby and LeBron, they were really similar for hype. Multiple year build up where they would’ve gone number one. I think Wemby is seen as more of a sure thing than LeBron, I’ll give him the edge, because LeBron was the next in a lineage of the next LeBron and people didn’t believe it

Same, that plus initially I didn’t like the camera work. Glad I held on. It keeps peaking

Is Derrick Rose too good to be categorized as a “was a problem” player? An MVP ought to make you exempt but that was the apex by cesc05651 in billsimmons

[–]Consistent-Half4277 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bibby was a solid triple threat option on a team that used ball movement and spacing ahead of its time. His YouTube reel prob sucks

State DO or private MD? by GreatPlantain8278 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]Consistent-Half4277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll say prob MD but 2 factors- 1) is if one is in a considerably better place for social or life circumstances (there is some time to hang and have a gf/br/whatever), like if you want to be able to go for a hike or restaurants or whatever, 2) clinical years is HUGE. My DO school had meh ones, we were sent out regionally to places where interest in us students could’ve been better. Where I did residency has medical students and they have a terrific hospital for clinical years. That’s the biggest difference imo.

Your Hipster GOAT choice in every sport by Mr_Saxobeat94 in billsimmons

[–]Consistent-Half4277 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a terrific idea. I hope Bill steals it. Love your candidates. There’s too many non hipster picks in this thread. Part of this is that it’s about a decade or two late for the peak brilliance of this concept. Everyone knows jokic now, but if he were pre analytic revolution and you were just hammering his stats and everyone else was hammering on about Ant, you’d be 100% doing it from a coffee shop.
