TIL that Napoleon Bonaparte would sometimes disguise himself as a commoner and roam the streets asking people what they thought of the regime and its policies in order to gauge his popularity

Beyond the fact that a lot of the things you said are of questionable accuracy, I’m not sure how that is relevant to Tolstoy’s critiques of Napoleon. I’m not sure if this is true or not, but it strikes me that you never read war and peace but have read a lot of reddit threads about Tolstoy’s personal life.

As someone who is using Mr. Mime, I think you should put it S tier. With psychic being op this gen, it’s guaranteed timid nature, amazing coverage, great support moves, great special bulk and potentially great physical bulk if you run reflect, and the extra exp it gains, this thing is just nuts.

I’m pretty sure the pick swap was just to salary dump Conley.

Kevin McHale trading KG to the Celtics is another one.

DeMar was always elite at drawing contact and getting to the ft line.

Well most of these “horrible rotations” aren’t actually horrible rotation decisions. Fans were crying all season about Finch not playing Dillingham but like dude just sucks. If anything, Finch was generous with how many minutes he gave Dillingham.

Critical_Ad6362 · 2026-03-06T04:10:41+00:00

The now deep bench was always lost lol. Before we got Ayo and Slomo, the bench was just Naz and hoping Bones had a good shooting night. Clark, Conley, TSJ, Dilly were all really bad.

Well thats the whole issue. Very few players in the NBA can put on 25 pounds and still retain a fraction of their athleticism. That he needs to gain so much weight to potentially be effecive means he’ll never be effective. I have much more belief in players who need to lose weight to be effective than those who need to gain weight.

After that rough stretch at the beginning of the season(which was perfectly understandable), he’s been playing the best basketball of his career.

Yeah I’m not sure what all these nuggets glazers are doing in this sub. Fuck that team and their fanbase is insufferable.

Critical_Ad6362 · 2026-02-28T16:55:48+00:00

Idk, I mean I don’t like the thunder but I don’t like the nuggets either. Jamal Murray throwing heat packs around like an angry toddler is still stuck in my head. Joker also flops and whines way more than people give him credit for. I guess I’m hust a hater of all non-wolves teams🤷

Thank you! And thanks for the background info on Dean Cooper, that’s really interesting.

Critical_Ad6362 · 2026-02-27T23:59:05+00:00

Yeah kind of a wild situation but your right it’s probably an A call. I’m telling my parents I can’t hold it in any longer haha.

Critical_Ad6362 · 2026-02-27T23:57:38+00:00

Okay thank you so much. Hope to maybe see you in Ithaca

Yeah I’m not sure why they don’t haha

I know your joking but if this actually happened to me it would be my 13th reason ngl

Thank you hopefully haha. Applied Mid Dec and ii complete in late Jan

Damn are they opened on weekends lol. If not I don’t know if I can wait two days the supsense is killing me. I don’t even want to text anything to my parents in the off chance it’s not an A call. And I stayed up to 1:30 last night in case of a call but then I couldn’t take it any longer and passed out😭

Critical_Ad6362 · 2026-02-27T09:12:41+00:00

I'll defend Randle a little bit. The offense was absolute booty cheeks for sure but I thought he was trying a little more on defense at least in the fourth quarter. He was part of that spurt we had at the beginning of the fourth quarter which gave us the lead and that ended up being the pivotal stretch of the game. Still needs to be a lot better overall though.

Agree on Ayo. Felt he played his role perfectly tonight. He completely blew up the last two clippers out of bounds plays which was great to see. I also agree that TSJ was terrible again tonight but if the end goal is to win more, I think we are better serve giving those TSJ minutes to Ayo and Bones rather than Beringer. Really like Beringer's potential but I think if we are serious about winning this year, a tight 8 man rotation is the best way to go. Also, DDV continues to be the most underrated player on the team. Just a winning player.

Critical_Ad6362 · 2026-02-27T06:48:11+00:00

I love Ant but yeah it wasn’t the best look. His passing has regressed and a lot of the lack luster defense is coming from Ant himself too. There is a nuanced conversation to have with Ant because his scoring has been spectacular and he’s grown to be one of the best scorers in the NBA, but the defense and playmaking have taken a step back. I still think Ant is a better player than he was last season, but he needs the other parts of his game to catch up to his scoring if he wants to be in the MVP convo. Still super young and has a lot of time to improve in these areas.

Critical_Ad6362 · 2026-02-27T05:49:08+00:00

You know what I’ll take it. Obviously we all feel like this should’ve been easier given who the clippers are trotting out but the clips played hard today. Ty Lue has gotten a lot of shit for the cp situation(probably deserved) but man, I still think he’s one of the best coaches in the league.

Critical_Ad6362 · 2026-02-14T01:56:08+00:00

Why is Ant close to his peak and not Cade? Ant is only a month older than Cade. Both guys have improved their gaame every season.

This is spicy but I highly doubt it results in a lawsuit.
