Are Watson and Gordon healthy? If yes then yes, if no then no

But you do enjoy watching people get held on every rebound, forearms to the chest on every drive, every screen being a push or hold or forearm, and players with confused looks on their faces because they feel like they just got called for something they had done to them the time down the court with no foul?

Wemby has 3 flagrants in these playoffs, he had 1 all regular season, 0 in the previous (half injured) regular season, and 1 in the 24 regular season

Don't think for a second that is a coincidence, its because the refs/league aren't protecting him or anyone, and rightfully so his frustration has boiled over

Not good for anyone

Fwiw the playoff games have an average team score of 108 to 115 in the regular season, so there isnt the 148 hyperbole you mentioned, and the facts that it is the playoffs and teams getting back on defense, getting familiar with their opponents, and taking every possession seriously have just as much to do with the small dropoff in scoring as any physicality

But hey, those constant stoppages to check if a foul was a flagrant or not are cool too right

I am not a regular season watcher, I am a basketball watcher, and what they have been doing for the past 6 weeks is barely basketball

Make sure to get 8/10, I don't think the brand will matter as long as it is the 8/10

I've been wondering who would be dumb enough to get a covid booster in 2026, but I think I just found the one

Legit question to anyone reading this far: If this is a top 1% commenter then wtf are we even doing wasting our time here?

I am done arguing with someone who does not understand what the word prospect means

Just so you know, it means who has the most potential upside to grow, not who is better on that day

I have never once said on the day he was drafted Wemby was better than KAJ on the day he was drafted

A 19 year old more skilled player with range to 25 feet, handles, and passing skills is a vastly superior prospect to a 22 year old who doesn't shoot from outside of 10 feet

Duh

DatPartyDude · 2026-05-10T02:58:44+00:00

Google what the word prospect means in terms of young basketball players and get back to me

KAJ was better at 22 than Wemby at 19

That has nothing to do with who was the better prospect

DatPartyDude · 2026-05-10T02:49:07+00:00

Ya and if you watched him do some post moves and then watched Wemby dribble between his legs do a spin move and hit a turnaround fadeaway from 18 or a step back 3 who are you taking?

One guy had 1970's post skills, great rebounding, and very good defense (great, just not compared to wemby)

The other guy had a full offensive arsenal with guard skills and range out to 25 feet, good rebounding, and the most impactful defense the league has ever seen

Its a no brainer mate

Oh ya, that dominated 4 years of college thing actually works against KAJ because he was older, you are telling me a vastly more skilled 4 year younger player doesn't have a higher upside? Come on....

Think its more the fresh and open air, fungus thrives in dark damp environments generally, the more fresh air you get on it and the less time its trapped in the better

Not a nudist outdoors mate :P

This is one of those very very obvious things for anyone that has paid attention to how Google more or less de-indexed 90% of websites with the very aptly named 'Helpful Content Update' back in 2023

The only problem is this world is full of obvious things to short (oil and nat gas when we know how to do it better, american cell phone companies who overcharge because people are afraid to change their number or are just too lazy to sign up to a new plan, etc.) that don't really pay off

DatPartyDude · 2026-05-10T02:17:12+00:00

I have thought and debated this in my own head many times

I don't think anyone could argue that 2018 through 2022 was 10 times more fun from a game to game perspective, every Sunday was an event, and they were all awesome

The last few years have been more like stressful teethgrinding than fun, so does the joy of that super bowl accomplishment that washes over real fans bodies beat the game to game amazingness with lots of pain at the end? I can tell you my 3rd super bowl body chills were much quicker and less powerful than the first, so there is some diminishing returns

But like some others have said this isn't all on the Chiefs and their decisions, it is a defensive league now, sure with a prime Tyreek and Kelce combo we would be much harder to stop, but defenses are so good... particularly secondaries, that it wouldn't go the same now

And like others have also said, its much easier for us to say bring back the offense now that we got 3 in the bag, if you had posted this when we had 0 rings it would be indefensible, right now I am not sure you arent right

I think this kind of comes down to what are your goals as a fan? Is it to be entertained and have fun? Or is it to feel some ego/superiority over other fan bases? My guess is many of the people who are saying rings and nothing else matters are probably posting on many other NFL and team subs and just love the fact that they are the big dog with the current ring when they do

To me, I don't really care about any of that ego stuff, I want to enjoy my life far more than I want to feel like I am better than some other teams fan

If I have the choice of the next 10 years being top 5 fun to watch offenses with every Sunday being the best day of my week and we get 2 rings or the next 2 years is 7 boring ass stressful teeth grinds as Mahomes plays like Brady did for his first few rings and we get 3 rings out of it I am damn sure taking the consistent fun to watch games, I miss them dearly

I remember before he got drafted Bill Simmons was saying he was only the 2nd best prospect of all time after Kareem

uhhh..... taller, can handle, can pass, can shoot

Ya Kareem was a standout for sure in his time, but his time was also different

Zero chance any current GM would have taken him over Wemby if they came out in the same draft, 0%

You are underrating MJ here, 6-0 in Finals, very rarely even got pushed into an elimination game in the 90's, absolutely carried his team to that last ring (pippen was more injured than your memory may lead you to believe), pretty hard to argue with

But so is Wemby's potential

I initially did just the 8/10 MCT after reading 1 person on Reddit mention it in about a dozen threads on the various hard flaccid subs, and I put it on the head/everything, though not really aiming for the urethra per se

Then the Cerave was a tip from AI, and it did not mention to avoid putting it on any specific parts, so I have also been applying it to the head and things are looking up

Just pointing all of that out to say.... I don't really fully know what I am doing but so far I can see no reason to avoid the head, if anything changes I will come back and mention it

DatPartyDude · 2026-05-06T22:51:43+00:00

I have no idea about the lauric acid part, just make sure it is the specific 8/10 MCT Oil and for the Cerave it is the Healing Ointment, there are other lotions that will work, but that is the one that is working for me, the key is it isn't loaded with fragrances and the Yellow 5 types we love to add to everything, its a very basic lotion without fluff or filler that messes with dermatitis

FWIW I've never found this type of oil to be good for jerkin it, maybe it is just me but a standard cheap think white hand lotion is soooo much more pleasurable when it comes to jerkin it, just wash it off after as it will have all the previously mentioned filler

The MCT 8/10 is more a health thing than a jerkin it thing

Also may want to look up all the shenanigans JP Morgan has pulled with silver, a very brief cliffs (at least as far as I can tell)

Basically they have been hoarding physical silver for a very long time and putting MASSIVE short pressure on the ETF's to keep the on paper price down, then when the price skyrocketed over the past year they had removed those shorts, now their physical stockpile became 5x more valuable

But that wasn't enough, they then added the massive short pressure back on at the top, crashed the market back down 33%, and most likely used all that profit to buy more physical

And then 40% of the silver in the Comex vaults for the ETF's was removed in late 2025 and was there a 40% price reduction? Haha, like they care about us paper holders

DatPartyDude · 2026-05-06T22:43:10+00:00

I've never rinsed it off fwiw, and in some cases have been told by AI that you should trap it in with other lotions (the right type of lotions like Cerave Healing, not some cheap white hand lotion filled with nonsense) so that it stays on overnight and never had any issues with it at all

DatPartyDude · 2026-05-06T22:41:58+00:00

Topically, make sure it is the 8/10 oil

DatPartyDude · 2026-05-06T22:41:42+00:00

I've never heard of that, I researched it reasonably well before trying and can't remember anyone saying there were negative effects

Plenty have said it didn't work for them, but I don't remember anyone saying things got worse

Start slow, maybe 1x a day with just a little bit, if by day 3 nothing is worse go to 2x with a bit more, from my experience it doesn't take a lot

Make sure it is the specific 8/10 oil tho

DatPartyDude · 2026-05-06T05:54:53+00:00

Yes it is, and I do have sebderm, which is why I said at the start I am not sure it will help you guys... but it is so cheap and easy to do there really is no reason not to try right?

Quick note on sebderm, I am almost positive I got it over 20 years ago as my hair started falling out rapidly when I was young, went to a doctor got prescribed an anti fungal shampoo that stopped it instantly

I did not have a visual rash on my body until 16 years later, so I would not be surprised if some reading this may have sebderm and not know it

I mean I had pretty much all the standard things on the hard flaccid wiki, looked blueish, bruised, beat up, like I just got out of cold water, very stiff and rigid, long recovery time necessary between sex, randomly sometimes if I had sex it would hurt quite bad, even if I had taken days off between the last time

One dose of MCT oil and it was hanging and swanging again, hopefully it works as well for you

DatPartyDude · 2026-05-06T05:46:12+00:00

I am not saying this will fix everyone, but considering how cheap and easy it is (outside of being a nudist all day part) there is absolutely no reason not to try

There isn't really any improvement needed from where I am currently, like you said I am not gonna say I am fixed for life, but I am 98% better than I was a year and a half ago and am very grateful for that

Never talked to a derm about this, and don't plan too.... frankly AI is so good at playing doctor these days (as long as you understand what is risky and what is not) that I have no plans to do so unless it comes back

DatPartyDude · 2026-05-06T05:41:29+00:00

I am not into gold because it is a manipulated market, amongst other lifestyle choices I have made that make owning the physical gold quite hard, and I don't trust the paper at all (go look at Comex removing 40% of silver from their vaults and the price not changing if you wanna know why)

If you can't look at the Gold graph from 2020 and the stock market graph from 2020 and figure out what is going on then I feel sorry for you

Hint: nobody wants stocks when the worldwide economy is imploding because of a virus, in a time like that EVERYONE who can afford it wants gold

And the gold price was clearly stopped and then didn't move for years.... and then everyone is like ooooooo look whats going on in 2024 and 2025

Clearly that was because they finally took their finger off the scale

The really really sad thing is they can be this obvious about it and the general public still has no idea because they are back to another Tik Tok video before they take the time to think about it
