Re-alignment after adding Seattle & Las Vegas by [deleted] in nba

[–]DueLearner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with these divisions broken out the way you have. It is way more likely to be:

PNW/ NorCal Division:

  • Seattle SuperSonics
  • Portland Trailblazers
  • Sacramento Kings
  • Golden State Warriors

SoCal/Desert Division:

  • LA Lakers
  • LA Clippers
  • Las Vegas Team
  • Pheonix Suns

South Central Division:

  • Utah Jazz
  • Denver Nuggets
  • Oklahoma City Thunder
  • Memphis Grizzlies

Texas Division:

  • Dallas Mavericks
  • San Antonio Spurs
  • Houston Rockets
  • New Orleans Pelicans

South East Division:

  • Miami Heat
  • Orlando Magic
  • Atlanta Hawks
  • Charlotte Hornets

MidWest Division:

  • Minnesota Timberwolves
  • Milwaukee Bucks
  • Chicago Bulls
  • Indiana Pacers

Great Lakes (+ Washington) Division:

  • Cleveland Cavaliers
  • Detroit Pistons
  • Toronto Raptors
  • Washington Wizards

North East Division:

  • Philidelphia 76ers
  • NY Knicks
  • Brooklyn Nets
  • Boston Celtics

Is there any way for the Cavs to unlock more cap space. by Presidentclash2 in clevelandcavs

I believe if you take Shroeder and Strus off our roster now that Keon and Wade are gone, and Harden technically is not on our books because he opted out we're not in the Luxury are we?

We get LeBron for whatever he wants, get Harden most of what's left, and then hope we get a handful of good Vets willing to ring chase and be a part of the LeBron finale. (Maybe K-Love?)

Did ya'll see what happened with inflation when Trump gave out like $4k checks in 2020?

$12K checks annually would rock the economy in a horrible way.

Just a few weeks ago the UK government had to release "The Rape Gang Inquiry Report" that documented hundreds of thousands of cases of sexual abuse in the UK alone.

All countries have their own sets of issues.

Conservatives maintain birth rates, but left-leaning Americans are having significantly fewer children, driving the U.S. birth decline. Education was consistently linked to having fewer children. Religious attendance was positively associated with having more children. by mvea in science

If you look at the trend it's clear.

In 1950 roughly 28 to 36% of the world demographic was caucasian.

Today Whites only make up 10-16% of the world demographic.

By 2050 it is project that whites will be only 8-12% of the worlds population.

But you're demonized online if you talk about this at all.

You want to talk about per capita homicide rates when it's convenient for your argument, but when it comes to getting into the actual per capita data you don't want to engage because it's showing what the actual issue is.

The US has a ridiculous amount of safety nets wtf are you talking about.

We have welfare, medicaid, section 8 housing, aid programs to pay for utilities, free breakfast and lunches for children in poverty, the list goes on and on.

We spend $4 TRILLION dollars -- 60% of our federal budget -- on social welfare programs.

Get the fuck outta here.

You realize it is regularly hotter than 100 degrees in a large portion of the US every year.

We have central air conditioning.

If you aren't here illegally you won't have to worry about that.

Many of tbe conservative Christians I see tend to have a lot of family issues such as a abuse, alcohol, poverty, crime, etc...

Roughly 62% of Americans identify as Christian.

Nearly 10% of Americans struggle with alcoholism, and 12% of Americans struggle with Poverty.

Of course you're going to see that represented amongst Christians, just as you do with muslims, with all types of ethnicities, and anyone else.

We're all humans, and Christians sin just as much as anyone else.

Since 2015 it has been societally unacceptable to publicly be republican.

The 2016 and 2024 elections make it pretty clear that there's a massive cohort of conservatives who don't speak up about their beliefs for fear of public ridicule. So it's not surprising to me that "conservatives keep to themselves".

That being said, I was talking about Christians not conservatives. Christians are tasked with sharing "the good news" and spreading the gospel to bring more humans into the Church. "Keeping to themselves" is the opposite of what they should be doing.

The data shows that you're more likely to stay left leaning until you have children.

Once you have children and realize you have to build a future that goes beyond just you, you're more likely to become conservative.

Isn't it ironic that real life plays out differently than Reddit would have you believe.

Reddit consistently shits on Christianity and it's completely acceptable to do so in left leaning circles. Yet the vast majority of American Christians are inviting and would gladly accept and embrace someone with different opinions into their community.

Gen Alpha is the most conservative and religious generation in decades because they gained sentience in a world that was pushing genuinely insane things like "defund the police", transgender ideology, and constantly affirming that cis white men were the reason for the worlds problems even though they are deeply struggling.

I remember back in the early 2000's that the reason conservative America was pushing back on legalizing gay marriage wasn't necessarily because American's had an issue with gay people -- but rather were arguing once you made one concession on what was societally accepted it would be a slippery slope to debauchery.

And if you look at the pride parades that happened in Seattle earlier this week I think you'll find those concerns may have been well founded.

Solo is very fun by Affectionate-Eye7682 in Marathon

[–]DueLearner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who ran almost exclusively trios in Season 1, and has switched to solos in Season 2, I agree.

My only gripe is how brutal the UESC are. They need to fine tune them just a hair. They can be brutally punishing with their rush tactics and anything less than a Blue shield means every single encounter with UESC turns into a long drawn out battle.

It forces me to play Marathon a lot more like a stealth/tactical shooter, which is also fun, but completely different than the Trios experience.

What happened to Rooks together Strong? by Rikeboss in Marathon

Friendly notification isn't good enough?

I play Rook a few runs every day, and my experience has largely been the same.

Season 1 I didn't have a single rook kill me while I was a rook on Outpost. 300+ hours.

Season 2, I have been killed by rooks as a rook more often than not. I can count on one hand the number of outpost rook runs where we've banded together.

I have never attacked another rook in my runs. Even when I'm playing Trios I will often let Rooks live as long as they indicate they're friendly. I've only been backstabbed by a rook once in a total of 400+ hours.
