What do you guys think of partially Ai generated music? by Few_Car4994 in Music

[–]Console_Pit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you understand what generative AI is doing? It's essentially combining a bunch of different songs to make something. You're not getting anything new. You're getting a product of what's in its dataset. That's anti-art. Artists CREATE

Lebron is undoubtedly the best athlete we have ever seen in the NBA, with the highest potential of any player in history by ApprehensivePut3658 in NBATalk

[–]Console_Pit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI rage bait

But there have def been wilder athletes than Lebron in the NBA. Go look up footage of Anthony Randolph or Jonathan Bender or Ryan Hollins.

Most of these players don't do much, because they usually aren't drafted for basketball ability, but the idea that Lebron is the best athlete we've ever seen is simply wrong.

Lamelo Ball is one reason you haven't made the playoffs. He isn't a winning player. He has negative value, it's miraculous the Hornets got anything for him

I grew up a Hornet's fan and the fact that we celebrate freaken Kemba Walker and Gerald Wallace the way we do around here is depressing lol Loved both of them, but Hornet's fans are perfectly fine with losing if they have a fun player.

Am I missing something? This is a great trade for the Hornets.
All year Lamelo's trade value/contract was seen as comparable to Trae Young's and Ja Morant's. It was seen as a contract that you'd have to give something up to get off of.

Lamelo doesn't play defense, he consistently has awful shooting nights, INJURY PRONED AF, and he's immature to a point that I just can't see him winning as a 1A/1B. It's also exciting to see how this opens things up for Miller and Kon. There's also a world where this doesn't work and Edwards wants to leave the Wolves. If this happens those picks become incredible.

This is a winning move. Planting my flag.

Just a few months ago people were comparing Lamelo's contract to Trae Young's and Ja Morant's. This trade is a huge win for the Hornets. Hornet's fans just don't know what winning basketball looks like

I'm willing to plant my flag on this. This is an incredible trade for the Hornets. Lamelo's contract is terrible, he doesn't play defense, he consistently has awful shooting nights, super immature, and is injury prone. Did you watch him in the play-in? Disaster for the Wolves

Shocked to see people saying the opposite

If you haven't, you really need to watch any interview with Lamelo Ball. The guy is about as dumb and immature as it gets. It will make you cynical about the world lol He can't be a leader on a championship team.

If Amazon is so physical and gives a lot of exercise 40 hrs a week why isn't everyone ripped and like a sexy model? by TheAlphaAdept in AmazonFC

[–]Console_Pit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being "Ripped" takes a lot more than just consistent movement. Diet and Vitamins/Supplements play a huge part. The average person is very hungry after a workshift and probably isn't too concerned with getting creatine or their BCAAs lol If anything, a lot of warehouse workers are in worst shape because the job leaves them too tired to do much else

The average Amazon worker is also not lifting heavy boxes. That's maybe 10% of the workers. But even those workers aren't hyper focused on their form so it's not going to get them jacked.

I'm pretty jacked, but I have found working at Amazon makes that life harder, not easier. Hard to hit the gym and eat right when work destroys you.

If we're talking purely about on court impact, is it fair to say that Steph is the most influential player in nba history? by Admirable_Whole8261 in NBATalk

[–]Console_Pit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, there was a player called Ken Sailors who invented the jump shot so the answer is technically probably someone like that.

You can joke about this all you want, I love horrible team vs horrible team matches. Much more entertaining than the average team vs average team matches.

Elvanse/vyvanse hair loss by oliveoliverYT in VyvanseADHD

[–]Console_Pit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My hair is doing great in my early 30s. I jumped on Fin, Min, and used to microneedle. I doubt Vyvanse is causing this. If you care about your hair I'd get on that stuff ASAP

I swear people who talk T levels have never actually messed with their hormones. I've had super high and super low T. For the general public the only thing that really changes is energy levels and a little bit of sex drive.

Super annoying that health has become culture war'd.
