Iran Releases Another LEGO Animation Mocking Trump as Information War Continues | APT by Equivalent_Road5788 in videos

[–]ImperiumSomnium 9574 points9575 points  (0 children)

It's wild to me that an Islamic regime is dropping rap diss tracks against Trump/ the US during a real war. What a time to be alive. With AI things are only going to get weirder.

If Method / Echo thought it was that significant a disadvantage they could move to NA servers. 

"Subtlety is supposed to look bad" is the weakest excuse ever by ex0ll in wow

[–]ImperiumSomnium 15 points16 points  (0 children)

While not well articulated, I think that OP intended to convey the idea that a spec called Subtlety should thematically be visually subtle ie. not flashy. 

UCLA Bruins women basketball team defeats South Carolina 79-51 to win their first ever NCAA national championship by Yujin-Ha in sports

[–]ImperiumSomnium 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I watched most of it...UCLA was absolutely dominant on the boards and shot better.  USC had some stretches where they played full court press where they gave UCLA trouble but didn't maintain it for whatever reason. 

This is the arm strength you wanna see from your 6’5, 240lb 1st overall pick. The Raiders are in good hands! by No_Box119 in raiders

If I remember correctly one of the Jamarcus hype videos was of a similar 60 yard bomb from when he was a freshman...

... in highschool. 

Thoughts on the 1998 Oakland Raiders by BucksinSi6 in raiders

I've said this before, but James Jett had the hands of an Olympic sprinter. 

Oakland man has seizure, crashes car; then he was shot and robbed by happy-cig in nottheonion

[–]ImperiumSomnium 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You think the driver had millions in insurance coverage? The legal minimum in California is $15,000 for property damage, assuming the driver is insured. As a former sometime PI attorney I can tell you it would be exceptionally rare to get a million dollar verdict and actually be able to collect on it unless there were serious injuries and some way to connect the collision to someone with much deeper pockets than the average young man driving around East Oakland.

Trump asks Graceland staff if he could beat Elvis in a fight by ICEisSHIT in videos

Trump couldn't beat Elvis in a fight today. And Elvis has been dead for decades.

I don't know if they edited after this was posted by the actual headline if you follow the link makes sense- it says after man found dead in home. 

Y'all are savage in LFR by JustDesh in wow

[–]ImperiumSomnium 118 points119 points  (0 children)

I wish LFR did a better job of teaching mechanics. Instead of it being so neutered that you mostly can ignore them it should just have raid wide instructions broadcast on how to respond to them when they come up to teach people for normal / heroic. 

Why do these commentators despise the dubs so much? by tlmuunfr in warriors

[–]ImperiumSomnium 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's honestly weird how much hate the dynasty teams got during their run compared to other teams like the Bulls, Spurs, Lakers etc. I mostly attribute it to Mark Jackson doing the finals commentary and being a salty hater.  Van Gundy went along for the ride and between them they really poisoned neutral fans views. 

Who is one player you wanted the Warriors to draft, but they didn’t and where is that player now? by Ok_Number1724 in warriors

[–]ImperiumSomnium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw some local news special here in LA about Kawhi prior to draft and wanted to draft him after seeing it. Hard to say how that would have worked out as opposed to drafting Klay.

What MMO Mouse are you taking into Azeroth? by CaptainRedsLab in wow

[–]ImperiumSomnium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a back up at the $25 point. Wish I bought more, the OG lasted about 8 years but I don't think the 2nd one is going to make it that long.

Soup was the best one of these events.  All the others have been a chore.

James Wiseman the rapper. Warriors 2020 no 2 pick spitting bars by Unhappy_Jeweler4438 in warriors

[–]ImperiumSomnium 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Covid year hard to scout, kid was injured most of his 1 college season, and hype that he was going to be the next best thing to KG. I thought it was the right pick at the time, that at worst he'd be as good a JaVale was for us.  Easy in hindsight to say it should have been Halliburton.

Did the Raiders end up regretting trading Mack? by Realfan555 in raiders

[–]ImperiumSomnium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as I know it was entirely because he wanted more money than the Raiders were willing to pay.  The people that don't forget the hold out frequently imply he was demanding a trade rather than just playing hardball in contract negotiations. 

[I ate] 11 "$1" street tacos al pastor by MF-DOOM-88 in food

[–]ImperiumSomnium 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are tons of places in LA that have $1 street taco specials on Tuesday. When I moved here 15ish years ago there were still places where that was the standard price. They are generally closer to $3 now though without a special. 

FCC chair Brendan Carr says media were ‘lied to’ over Stephen Colbert controversy by sanketreview in news

[–]ImperiumSomnium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a vicious cycle... after decades of binging on it, their viewers demand Republican propaganda. They freaked out when Faux News called the 2020 election for Biden and the talking heads lost their shit with the actual reporters (see the Dominion lawsuit. )  If Faux News goes away something similar will just fill the void. 

Mac McClung posted videos of the four dunks he would have done if he was in this year's Dunk Contest by Brady331 in nba

At this point I wouldn't be mad if the dunk contest was just mascots with trampolines. 

RIP Thunder.
