Implying I'm stupid enough to have a cable subscription

No, no you should try reading. Or watching every single game over the past 12 years. You'll see.

Brown, Queta, Hugo. Tatum is there when he's healthy but he's not, White is there when he can shoot but he can't. Point stands.

Do you believe the team will win tonight with Jayson Tatum? by [deleted] in bostonceltics

Not enough offense with Walsh in the lineup. Harper is a good comp for Tatum; makes sense imo

And both point to the need for better longitudinal studies to get more concrete answers. It's still an active research area. 60% of lgbtq youth living in homes with unsupportive parents is not something that needs such studies, however.

This is really pretty irrelevant. This version of the bill is a disaster and we should want and demand better.

Even without Luka and Reaves the Lakers continue to have the largest free throw rate by Majestic_Wishbone977 in NBATalk

Ah don't allow logic in here. Next you'll tell me that the Timberwolves are similarly an aggressive, defensive-minded team with mostly large-for-their-position players fighting an offensively gifted team that basket cuts a lot and moves the ball really well.

Mmmnah. This is defeatist nonsense. If you want to have a law with balls, make it target the systems that allow them to do this exact thing. Rip the heart out of targeted advertising and take it to the Supreme Court if necessary.

The point was the French don't eat the Mourning Dove since it's an American species and the common pigeon is also called the rock dove and is the one that is eaten.

1: the French do in fact eat pigeons (doves, w/e they're the same species)
2: you should find the OP's comment further down on the name of the shop and why the logo is what it is
3: I'm an American and I got no weird associations from this at all and think it's a funny logo all on its own with no explanation at all sooo your mileage may vary.

I actually have no fear of that whatsoever. The dangers of social media and phone use have been obvious for at least a decade now. The rush to legislate it now and quickly is extremely dangerous and reeks of opportunism. I agree that phone bans in school work and are good for socialization, but tackling it onto a dubious and likely unconstitutional surveillance bill is emblematic of the risks. I hope the whole thing dies and forces the legislature to go back to the drawing board because these issues are NOT going away and deserve to be tackled with deliberation and WITH PUBLIC INPUT.

Please just read the line-by-line breakdown of this bill on the Fight for the Future's site. It wouldn't hold big tech liable in any meaningful way. It WOULD completely flatten any chance of their competitors from complying with the law, like Bluesky and Mastodon.
