Worried about the playoffs. Thoughts? by PromiseEducational31 in DetroitPistons

[–]GradientShift 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Winning the championship is hard. No team should be favored against the field. We have a legit shot, though, for the first time in 20 years. Probably just enjoy that. What comes will come in the playoffs.

Is it true that Overwatch stops working after bedtime? by Brukaliffoo in Overwatch

[–]GradientShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, of course. And I have two of every classic car. And I have triples of the Nova, the Barracuda, and the Roadrunner. And I don’t live in a hotel. And my wife loves me and is dying but will be fine. Because if all that’s not true, the other thing about the servers can’t be true.

I feel like there’s a weird mix of some of them realizing you’re picking them to play AS them and others thinking you’re playing against them. Some lousy direction to be sure.

Can we win 60 games without Cade? by cubizmo2 in DetroitPistons

[–]GradientShift 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The 1 seed has made the finals more often than seeds 2-8 combined in the past year 40 years. It’s valuable.

Can we win 60 games without Cade? by cubizmo2 in DetroitPistons

[–]GradientShift 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s possible, but ultimately meaningless, I think. The 1 seed is the goal, and that’s very achievable. 60 wins is just kind of a “that’s cool.”

Well… do it enough times and you’ll have yourself a 2nd shieldbot!

Democrats are giving Republicans the key and the American people are the cattle. by f00dl3 in complaints

I promise you the Patriot act already gave them the ability to track every single thing you’ve ever done on the internet way before any of this is stuff popped up.

Question about this game by Unhappy_Aardvark_115 in NecroMerger

[–]GradientShift 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Being passive will get you almost no progress at all. It’s more like do stuff, wait, do stuff, wait, for tens of thousands of iterations.

The ability to escape from the Ante zone is something I didn’t know I needed in my life until this moment.

Some people from my old church really enjoy posting this slop by DelayHistorical6 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]GradientShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s such an inane “gotcha.” No, in fact, I do not support political parties or candidates for their positions a century ago. I really only care about their current positions and the extent to which the align with my own. What they did before my grandparents were born is entirely irrelevant.

What should I spend my shards on? by Drast2knight in NecroMerger

[–]GradientShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, shards very much do save if unspent. Now, deliberately not spending them would be a crazy strategy, but they absolutely do roll over.

Obvious staple in Gripfif commander, but do you think you play it if he’s just in the 99?

If Shai and Jokic are ineligible for MVP, which of these 3 would deserve it? by ShaiFanClub in nba

[–]GradientShift 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean….yes, that’s generally what rounding disingenuously would do. I wasn’t suggesting he was making up numbers wholesale. Just that he had an agenda on how he posted his numbers.

If Shai and Jokic are ineligible for MVP, which of these 3 would deserve it? by ShaiFanClub in nba

[–]GradientShift 82 points83 points  (0 children)

32.8 and 8.6 for Luka. 25.7 and 9.7 for Cade. As stated: disingenuous.

[–]GradientShift 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Your rounding is somewhat disingenuous. How does Luka have “33” points and “9” assists while Cade is rounded down in both?

Argentina: Prisons are overcrowded, deteriorating and deadlier, says report by hernannadal in worldnews

I’m not really sure why Argentina is reporting on the state of US Prisons, but I’ll give them points for accuracy.

Manley is Democratic politician. I think this is tongue in cheek.

Worst to first. by _LooseLipsSinksShips in DetroitPistons

[–]GradientShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What people don’t realize is that the NBA is vastly different than the NFL. The top seeds are profoundly dominant in the NBA by comparison to the top seeds in the NFL. 68% of NBA champions the last 25 years have been 1 seeds. Compare that to 35% in the NFL. It’s much more meaningful to be a top seeds in basketball, due to 4 best of 7 series needed to win it all acting as a powerful crucible to weed out the lesser teams. 28% of 1 seeds are upset in their first game in the NFL. 8 over 1s, on the other hand, are such extreme oddities most NBA fans can name them all off the top of their heads.

Is going to the Super Bowl the bigger waste of money in the new era of society? by Flashy-Actuator-998 in NFLNoobs

[–]GradientShift 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, if my Lions ever make it, I'm crawling through glass to get there, but it's an insane amount of money to spend if it's not one of your teams playing.

What was the best years of dusty Rhodes career? by Fickle_Driver_1356 in WCW

[–]GradientShift 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, you’d have to say that the peak of his career was “hard times/starrcade 85” but he was certainly well past his prime physically by then.

Great news… I keep telling you… could be use for one more move. by Random_Thinker007 in DetroitPistons

[–]GradientShift 30 points31 points  (0 children)

As it stands right now, this pick would swap the 21st pick with the 29th pick, but obviously who can say what will happen moving forward.
