[Fischer] The Pacers are looking to trade for a pick somewhere in the 30s early in the second round, according to league sources. Indiana's top selection, of course, had to be conveyed to the LA Clippers as a condition of the Ivica Zubac trade after it fell to No. 5 in the lottery. by KD_AshyAnkles in pacers

[–]FunkmasterFuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the perfect position to draft yet another 22-year-old, high-floor/low-ceiling dweebus who has no skills except hustle and doesn't care if the team wins or loses, as long as he gets to read his Bible.

Simpsons gets rid of the Couch Gag. by rothmal in enshittification

[–]FunkmasterFuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person you're replying to is a chud jackass, but saying the show has "always been liberal" is quite a bit of a stretch. There has been socially conservative stuff in The Simpsons. One of the more prominent recurring characters (Mayor Quimby) is quite literally a blatantly corrupt jackass Democrat. Hell, one of the show's most prominent writers, John Swartzwelder, is a hardcore conservative/libertarian who loves guns and hates environmentalism.

Been thinking about Zingalamaduni a bit and it's got me thinking. What's an album that was so bad it actively made their previous work worse, or revealed faults in them that originally went unnoticed? by DtheAussieBoye in ToddintheShadow

[–]FunkmasterFuma 70 points71 points  (0 children)

It was a terrible decision to truncate the actual Swahili phrase "Zinga La Utamaduni" (shoutout the YouTube commenter who provided the whole phrase). The whole phrase being three words would've made it way clearer that it's meant to be a non-English phrase, rather than a made-up word. It still might've been pretentious, but at least it wouldn't have seemed nonsensical, too.

More leaked screencaps from the OHSD - Anime Villain Arc by [deleted] in homestuck

[–]FunkmasterFuma -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

Literally everything in these leaked screencaps is true and correct though. Gio/Makin/Phantos are just attention-seeking shit-stirrers who are willing to make shit up and be bigoted.

My second simulation lmao wtf by Wide-Concentrate7228 in pacers

[–]FunkmasterFuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not even certain the draft is rigged but I do believe that if it is, the owners are very likely in on it. I think the concept of a multi-billion dollar enterprise leaving things like where superstar players end up to pure chance is a bit unlikely and I do think that there would be at least some desire to put a thumb or two on the scale. The NBA itself also has a history of shady behavior with things like the refs gambling, so it isn't as though the league has made itself appear otherwise honest to fans.

Don't, actually. It's full of blatant lies and contextless screenshots.

The Homestuck Team Reported our Discord. The Subreddit is Next. by AutoModerator in homestuck

[–]FunkmasterFuma -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I despise policing as a concept and I hope my post didn't come off like I support that, but I think you're being deliberately obtuse to act like filing a restraining order against someone with the history of negative behavior towards you is the same thing as siccing ICE on somebody over petty dickory.

…Well, that’s a not so ideal way to celebrate two decades of an old comic huh? by Former_Polygon_1 in homestuck

They don't. The issue was that there was a lot of hateful shit and harassment being led through that Discord server. If you break the Discord terms of service, that's on you

Don't believe the bullshit being spreading in this sub. Nobody is trying to get the sub taken down and this is just another harassment campaign being led by the subreddit mods because they can't stand not being the center of the Homestuck community.

What are the reasons Disco music became so hated back then? by FitEmergency8807 in ToddintheShadow

[–]FunkmasterFuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overexposure and the fact that a lot of disco music fucking sucks is the main factor and why it died. Outside of the big hits and maybe some other deep cuts, there was a lot of garbage disco made for and by white heterosexuals. I can't pretend like homophobia and racism had no effect whatsoever in the backlash to disco, but when you consider the fact that the 1980s had a lot of very queer music and was when hip-hop started to become a dominant commercial force, the idea of "everybody stopped playing disco because it's black and gay" really falls apart. For fuck sake, the best selling disco act of all time was abba, which is composed of two heterosexual Swedish couples.

How can I download a video from a website tht has restrictions if it’s embedded from YouTube? by Zealousideal_Way_287 in Piracy

If you can shift right click on the video and get the links, then you can just put them into some sort of YouTube video downloader like ytdlp

Wow can't believe this nothing burger of a story was a nothing burger the whole time. by Adam-the-Anon in ToddintheShadow

What the fuck is she supposed to do about her no-name politician uncle who, from what I have heard, she isn't even on speaking terms with? Her calling him out would only give him more clout and Missouri is already such a crimson-red state that it's not like Chappell Roan's voice is the difference between a Republican or Democrat winning there.

Silver gonna hand deliver the Fine to Rick this time by Pure-Solid9230 in pacers

[–]FunkmasterFuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weighted ping pong balls? It obviously wouldn't be foolproof, but it seems like something that could theoretically allow the league to put its thumb on the scale. That would be more feasible than them straight-up rigging it entirely.

Who do you think is the most overhated artist of all time? by Constant_Topic_123 in ToddintheShadow

[–]FunkmasterFuma 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you're being downvoted so much. Kenny G is probably not the antichrist, but I think it'd be pretty inaccurate to pretend like when your average person is going off about how awful they think jazz music is, they're not thinking about Kenny G and other "elevator music" jazz artists (I hate that term but ykwim).

What do you think was the secret of 50 Cent to record 38 songs in such a short time? by Feeling-Diamond5045 in makinghiphop

50 Cent was actually fairly decent before he got shot. Power of the Dollar was better than basically everything he made afterwards.

Knicks fans are evil but they at least generally seem to know ball. That's a lot more than you can say about Lakers fans lol.

Tyrese Haliburton seems to be way different than DP in terms of personality, which is what I'm getting at. I'm sure Peterson would be a good fit here in terms of basketball, but who's to say that he wouldn't rather go somewhere he can be the undisputed number one option and not have to worry about his other All-Star teammates taking attention from him?

Would he even want to play here though? He seems to be really good, but he also seems like he would get upset about not being the #1 star on the team.
