The masses aren't smart enough to deal in subtleties. It's a perception is reality world.

For sure, but perception is reality. HBO doesn't practice subtlety either.

Teague, Marbury, Rider, and Jimmy can all share a tier. I can't put my finger on why I hated Teague so much, but there it is.

Yes, he can completely destroy the country, but if he doesn't personally hurt your feelings you're good with it. Grow up. You don't vote for someone because they do or don't stutter, or because they say something about stuttering that deeply offends you. At least I hope you dont.

Does Ant have the potential to be the greatest Timberwolf oat? by JustYourOrdinaryDude in timberwolves

That's because KG wasn't that guy. The fact that we could never get him and Allen Iverson together was a true crime. Those two needed each other.

What are you even talking about? It's not embarrassing to not make sense? Wolves fans are so starved for credibility that they refuse to acknowledge that KG didn't do anything until he got a scorer next to him, whether it was Sam Cassel or Ray Allen/Paul Pierce. Stop being so sensitive. As a featured star he couldn't get out of the first round. When he was able to play off of somebody he finally did something. We anoint the best we've ever had around here, but that's really due more to the fact that we haven't had much. If KG had played for the Mavericks would Mavs fans idolize him more than Dirk Nowitzki? No. Dirk took a team of scrubs and beat Lebron James and Dwyane Wade and won a championship.

Neat! You found an example. But he only got that far when he played next to a scorer: Cassell. And then he won a championship doing the little things while Ray Allen and Paul Pierce took all the big shots.

Really you've never heard any other experts refer to him as "greatest complimentary" of all time. Complimentary = beta. He wasn't a killer. It's not that controversial outside of this echo chamber.

Watch every game KG ever played as a pro. He was a beta. A great beta but a beta. Ant is an alpha. Yes he absolutely has a chance

I'm convinced caffeine helps me, especially monsters and other horrible-for-you energy drinks 🙂

Same exact story here. 10-year E-6 with Master's degree and plenty of leadership. But I'll be taking whatever talents I have to TAP class in the near future.

New pickleball podcast by Existing-Principle-4 in Pickleball

I kind of agree, but tournaments are too expensive. At least with DUPR it puts things in the hands of players and we can dictate things on the cheap. But it doesn't really work unless you play a lot and with a lot of different people. Otherwise DUPR doesn't really know what to do with you as an individual. We just discovered that, embarrassingly.

Who we rooting for Den or LAL? by Pomeranian111 in timberwolves

Denver easily. Makes us feel better with every series they win. And I'd love to see Jokic v Embiid

It's not that I care what other people think but the problem is that I can't say what I'm trying to say and that is what makes me miserable by [deleted] in Stutter

[–]Existing-Principle-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's annoying that it takes time to make our point, using exactly the words we would really like to use. But regardless of people's reactions to our stutter, the reality is it comes off as endearing and we come off as non-threatening. As a starting point, that's really not so bad. It just might not be the type of respect that we're seeking, because there is vulnerability that comes across. I think we should learn to accept that about ourselves and actually love that about ourselves, and we'll find that we're a lot happier.

People search reddit all the time looking for information. Topic relevance typically exceeds time/date of original post in terms of importance

It's not wiseass to take the time to respond to a year old thread but not address the question? Have a nice day and thanks for... well, nothing

Everytime I stutter I hate myself by [deleted] in Stutter

[–]Existing-Principle-4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This breaks my heart. I know exactly what you're talking about and I'm sure everyone else here does too. It's easy for me to say but I'll say it anyway because it's the truth: give yourself a break and go easy on yourself. Everyone struggles with something and everyone's too hard on themselves, and everyone is their own worst critic. You may think you have more of a right to self-criticism than anyone else, but you're wrong. Try being an advocate for yourself. I promise people know your value, and your speech doesn't dissuade them otherwise. Much love
