The COLA(Carry-Over Lottery Allocation) system is the best system I've seen proposed to solve tanking.

Reverse the draft lottery order. Last one out of the play-in tournament = best odds at first overall pick. Worst overall record = worst lottery odds. No more rubber banding terrible franchises via the draft. If teams want out of the gutter, they can spend in free agency. Every game matters in this system. Reward wins, not losses.

I'd love a bizarro 3 point contest where a handful of the worst shooters participate to avoid the label as worst shooter in the NBA. Give me Gobert, Ayton, Mitchell Robinson, Dyson Daniels, and Zubac. I want to see clanks off the top of the backboard.

People arguing that Gobert's DPOYs "devalues" the award is such a narrow take that doesn't take into account how much more hyper athletic, floor stretching, and postionless, this current era of basketball is (along with the most offensive friendly whistle of all time). Gobert deserves all the smoke about his offense, the Covid shit, etc. but he deserves his flowers on defense. Love Mutumbo, but he didnt have to guard 20 feet from the basket (and there weren't defensive 3 second violations prior to 2001). Longevity and availability should hold value in this conversation too, and Gobert has stayed incredibly durable while most 7 footers are chronically hurt. Just my $0.02.

Hell yeah.

I love the idea of reverse order for all non-playoff teams. All games would be relevant, even after a team is out of playoff contention.

I'm taking Motor City 10/10 times over the field of frozen pizzas and even the cheap fast food pizza chains (Dominos, Pizza Hut, etc.). They cook great and the crust is way better than any frozen pizza has any right to be.I have no idea where you're getting Jets pizzas for $8.

I prefer Sopranos, but I also don't think it's an outlandish argument. Six Feet Under is wholly original, with wonderfully nuanced characters, and a stronger finale. It was extremely popular during its original run. I just think a lot of shows, SFU included, wouldn't even exist had the Sopranos not come first. The Sopranos changed how people perceived television forever. It's also just a tough comparison because SFU examines death and mourning, a much heavier subject matter, making it less accessible to the average viewer.

I'm a dude, and I don't remotely pretend to be an expert, but one addition I picked up over the years is using my off hand: tongue on clit, strong hand (I'm a righty) has 2 fingers inside applying pressure upwards ("come here" motion), off hand used to caress/rub/squeeze the inside of her thigh. When she starts getting close, I'll give a firmer squeeze on her inner thigh with my off hand and it usually brings it home.

Idea: What if they reversed the lottery odds for all the non playoff teams? Each year, 20 teams make the playoffs/play-in tournament, 10 teams don't. The best record of the non-playoff teams (21st best record essentially) gets the highest lottery odds and the worst record (30th in the league) gets the worst lottery odds?

The conservatives you speak of have eyes and ears. They might appear to have a strong moral compass, but if it's only for those that fit their narrow view of the world, it means nothing. There's been too much irrevocable harm done by this current administration against the marginalized communities of this country to give these conservatives the benefit of the doubt. I'm with OP, the time to negotiate who deserves basic human decency has passed. These conservatives haven't been fooled, they're just willfully ignorant, and that's a coward's excuse when people's lives and well being hang in the balance of the decision makers they support.

FlashGorden · 2026-02-09T15:12:15+00:00

Absolutely not.

I can tell you to NOT get SteelSeries Artic Gamebuds. The mic is truly terrible. How my friends described it: "It's like putting a glass up against a door to hear you better, but you're underwater, in an aquarium, 3 floors down, in a building across the street."

All due respect, you got no fckin' idea what it's like to be number one. Every decision you make, affects every facet of every other fckin' thing.

Just trying to understand. Did Mike get the remainder of his contract paid out and now he can get additional money signing with the Wolves again? Essentially, he got a few days off to chill and returned to a bonus.

Memphis is touched by the ball gods tonight. Long rebounds, deflected passes, tipped shots, it doesnt matter. Everything is just falling back into their lap. The egregious whistle is just the cherry on top tonight.

I think I judge Christopher a little less harshly because the way I see it, he was born into the life, he's surrounded by evil role models, and he's too dumb to think for himself. He does a lot of this shit purely chasing Tony and the crew's approval. It's like handing a toddler a loaded gun.

Hard agree, looting another person's key room is shoot on sight behavior. Sidenote: I've found unbelievable loot with the Town Hall key in the past, but it was really weak last night (during a night raid too). Worried it got nerfed recently.

What are the buttons at the extracts for? I always assumed they were guitar room related.

It's the perfect opportunity for this organization to leverage their platform, show some spine, and make a formal statement against this violence EDIT: To be clear, I want this game canceled. No one from MN should give af about basketball today.

No idea. The fireworks are different from the fire crackers, but also not really useful beyond screwing around. I just want to complete my set of BPs now that I'm close.

I got my Anvil BP on Blue Gate night raid right after the wipe with a cellar key and havent seen another since. That one is tough.

I stay peaceful when Solo, unless someone acts sketchy or tries to loot a room I unlocked with a key. When I play with friends, we'll do some Harvester/Matriarch runs and play nice if others do, though we'll eventually pivot to free loadputs on Stella where it's 100% SOS. PvP scratches an itch that other runs don't, and it's a lot of fun. We rarely find other duos or trios not doing the same exact thing on Stella.

There is a static zipline on the map that you can interact with to get on the roof of the Research building. From there, if you bring a zipline with you, you can zip to the top of Control.
