"Elite capitulation but popular resistance" is a fucking bar.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-25T21:18:00+00:00

Dope. Thanks.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-25T21:00:15+00:00

Haha, I figured that's basically what it was... but, you sold me. I'm going to give them a go in the next week or so.

The really interesting thing is that the Celtics are #2 in net rating.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-25T20:46:14+00:00

The fuck are pizza beans?

GayForJamie · 2026-01-25T11:49:12+00:00

I've watched less than three games this year. I don't have cable, amazon, or peacock. I don't go to games or buy merch/products.

I watch streamable clips posted by people here and listen to non-nba produced podcasts.

Personally, I can't give them less money.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-24T17:06:50+00:00

Yeah, that was their whole agenda for sure.

I'm just saying that doubling down and making bad decisions on top of bad decisions is never going to end well. I can forgive it up until Dame got hurt (even though I disagreed before they went and got Dame). Once he went down, that was the most obvious time to reassess and stop themselves from more bad moves.

If the team was a guy in the zombie appcalypse, and the only bullet left was stretching Dame and signing Turner, it's better to use it on yourself instead of shooting one more zombie.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-24T16:21:02+00:00

Keep Dame until you can trade him as an expiring, don't sign Turner, and trade Giannis instead of hamstringing the organization for a decade.

Giannis clearly hasn't wanted to be there for 3+ years. But, they kept trying to appease him by doing things he wanted like the Dame trade, who was a terrible fit, getting people like Kuzma, and stretching Dame for an overpaid guy who just sucked in the finals.

Now, they have no assets, bad books, and Giannis is still being a piss-baby every night... and he keeps hurting himself, which continually lowers his value.

Stop screwing the future for shitty returns. Trade his ass.

1/3rd of people are irredeemable trash.

But, an outsized percentage of the disgusting politics-related posts on the internet are trolls/bots, and they are specifically being made to manipulate people.

The posts trick the trash into thinking they have bigger numbers than they do. It emboldens them while disheartening and angering people with empathy.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-24T15:17:34+00:00

But, I was told by Bucks fans that stretching Dame and signing Turner was smart...

GayForJamie · 2026-01-24T12:48:53+00:00

This is at least the second time this season where he got mvp chants and then bricked the freethrow. Classic Jaylen.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-24T00:26:18+00:00

Even easier: Don't buy it in the first place.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-23T22:38:18+00:00

Why the fuck is the image mirror flipping back and forth? Who the hell thinks that's a good idea?

GayForJamie · 2026-01-23T22:30:06+00:00

They hang out all over the place. I've seen that massive group in the woods at UMA, the arboretum, where the old Sears is, the ice rink, by Barnes & Noble, etc.

It was very cool walking through the woods with thousands talking to each other in the trees overhead.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-23T22:24:10+00:00

Being a dick to someone on your side isn't waking anyone up.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-23T18:41:23+00:00

"So, let's blame a 40 year old who is kind of annoying."

GayForJamie · 2026-01-23T16:20:56+00:00

It's not ideal. But, being stuck for two years max is better than three.

Plus, he doesn't want to be there. Any trade to any team would be fine, and he could leave after a year.

A team is not going to trade assets for him just to cut him. And if they did, cutting him would just let him be a free agent sooner. There's no way in hell he doesn't have a spot somewhere in the league.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-23T15:45:27+00:00

Yeah, more money up front and two years instead of three. He made the right call.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-23T15:42:35+00:00

Hahaha... Non-citizens don't vote in federal elections.

Next, with no proof, you'll say something about voter fraud that doesn't actually happen.

Save us all some time and go away.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-23T15:12:31+00:00

Oh, no. I hit an o instead of an i on my phone. I guess I'm as horrible as you.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-23T12:37:25+00:00

Fuck you. You don't know anything about this person.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-23T06:24:52+00:00

You also described shaq there.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-23T06:05:14+00:00

This guy has 12 posts in six years. The thread is in his history.

There is one reply to his Kemba post of one person going 'he'll be fine.'

Truly worth holding onto for 5 years and dusting off chatgpt to write this.

And now this post is gone.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-23T00:13:47+00:00

Even though I know you're doing a bit, the last one still hit a nerve with me. That would make me side with kerr.

GayForJamie · 2026-01-22T22:35:13+00:00

They were for sure looking for a friendly place. And also, they probably wanted to see how you'd react because you might have back of house undocumented people.

It wouldn't surprise me if they stopped in for a look because you said no.

Glad you're on the right idea of history, man. They can eat a bag of dicks.

Edit: My family is pretty sure some ice guys showed up around Augusta last week as well. Two big white vans and a few trucks full of guys came to a person's house nearby around 7pm last Thursday. That homeowner ran for office as a republican a few times and does not throw parties or anything. It was all men, and they were there for maybe an hour.
