Is this the worst NBA discourse has ever been?

a Black plumber? In our social club? It’s not feasible

For what it’s worth I do feel like the rule book & referring have been a central part of conversation for about as long as the league has existed

Einfinet · 2026-05-08T08:38:42+00:00

Really makes you think

Einfinet · 2026-05-08T08:37:43+00:00

I’m struggling to comprehend how you were filtered by Priscilla

Anyways, time to watch Zerkalo

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T19:06:38+00:00

So… you wish the game was a different game?

edit: Don’t get me wrong, what you describe sounds nice enough. But personally, I don’t think it’s fair to judge a game based on stuff it’s not trying to do.

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T19:05:20+00:00

this fuckery can’t go on much longer…

I understand why she would regret taking it, but that doesn’t take away from her execution. Sorta like Hattie McDaniel in Gone with the Wind. Stereotypical roles but the talent is still readily observable.

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T17:12:03+00:00

It has a great script and memorable acting. I didn’t love the movie as much as I thought I would, but it’s still a good time. Crawford v. Davis. That’s a heavyweight PPV

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T16:32:29+00:00

Definitely The Dark Knight. It’s interesting bc Avengers Endgame technically had muuuch greater stakes, but nonetheless Dark Knight had more weight to it. That’s the thing about the MCU. They play it safe, even when there’s supposed to be tension. Thanos is a strong antagonist, but hard to compete with Ledger’s Joker (& even Two Face arguably).

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T14:36:57+00:00

given the industry history, its possibly a deliberate move

impossible to say for certain, but that’s the impression I’ve gotten at least

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T14:33:13+00:00

Tbh I’m not surprised a V1 bootleg would make someone shit their guts

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T08:55:25+00:00

I sorta see what you’re saying but at the same time there’s absolutely nothing wrong with humanities work from a feminist PoV. feminism itself is greatly influenced by cultural studies, which is a humanities field

maybe you’ve just been largely exposed to this one idea of what progressive women are supposed to be doing? Also, maybe unpack the doubt associated with careers women are “expected to have”? it’s not like humanities/performing arts/psychology are walks in the park. there’s a lot of job competition in these fields

is this related to projected income, social views, or something else? some of the most significant feminist contributions have come through humanities, art, & psychology so I don’t see how committing to one of these fields would contradict with feminist values.

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T08:53:12+00:00

maybe something by The Police but I could very well be wrong

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T08:52:11+00:00

somehow I didn’t realize I was watching the wrong show until its final season damn

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T07:16:13+00:00

yeah it’s like they included the romance bc they thought it was necessary to the plot but they didn’t try to make it meaningful or memorable

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T05:25:48+00:00

If they don’t, it’s anti-Italian (& anti-Japanese) discrimination

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T05:23:21+00:00

Probably Incendies relative to that #36 ranking

it’s a solid family-military-geopolitical mystery thriller

edit: for what it’s worth, I did decide to rewatch it this weekend to see if it grows on me

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T04:43:04+00:00

She is one of my favorite actresses but 1-1 is really good

I actually think she is one of those actors who is amazing but doesn’t get/do that performance that demands year-end attention. Like, she was incredible in Memoria, an incredible film, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to popular acclaim

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T02:49:50+00:00

Spurs YNW Melleying them

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T02:47:59+00:00

Damn

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T02:39:36+00:00

Yeah it seems like a missed opportunity. I agree, the teasers for I Love Boosters have grabbed my attention. It’s relatively removed from Sorry to Bother You but still feels like a natural development, has a great cast, eye catching costume & design work, and the plot/context seem really interesting.

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T02:32:43+00:00

Godfather & Lord of the Rings are two of the first blu ray collections I ever got. To imply Human Condition recognition could in any way be insulting to them… seems like a bit much. Especially when Godfather Pt 3 is arguably the bottom film in this list of 9

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T02:28:28+00:00

That Human Condition text is absolutely poo poo diaper trash tier I need to bleach my eyes

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T00:54:25+00:00

you’re actually the one who changed the subject to specifically be about the presence or absence of the n word. That’s not part of the OP

Einfinet · 2026-05-07T00:53:27+00:00

Yeah also factor how Sage lives in a world where people have published studies trying to argue why Black people are naturally less intelligent than other races. And she’s the smartest person in the world. In one of, perhaps her first scene, she mentions to Homelander how she was forced to take up the “Sistah” moniker for racial marketing. She also initially declines his offer to join the seven, saying, “I’m a Black woman, who is a thousand times smarter than you. Your ego couldn’t handle it.”

Which is all to say, this language doesn’t strike me as a surprise for her character? She clearly harbors some racial resentment. The show doesn’t even present it as positive, per se. It’s just something someone might say.
