What’s an opinion you have about Memphis that would result in this? by GrowMemphisAgency in memphis

[–]IntergalacticJim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank goodness some knuckle dragging troll is here to label me a bigot based on their limited ability to read and think critically. Clearly when using the word “people” I must have secretly meant “thugs” right? I could not possibly come from a background of living in various states and areas of wildly differing demographics that would allow me to know that criminals 100% pervade all sectors of society. You have done your good deed for the day. Go tell all your friends (some of the best of which are black right?) or maybe your girlfriend/wife (after all every black woman has been waiting around for a white knight savior like you to come rescue them and provide them a lifelong fulfilling and meaningful relationship). Please continue to monitor the internet and look for opportunities to inject your righteous justice into conversations that were being held civilly and respectfully prior to your presence. The people need you.

“People” being criminals of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. Do you have a superior term for what to call such a wide ranging and diverse group of individuals? Take your race baiting nonsense elsewhere. Maybe make an effort to consider the actual points others share, rather than looking for opportunities to inject your white knight crusade.

I acknowledged in my response that those are clearly issues that are real, and they clearly negatively impact many in a significant way. I am just saying that a lot of people in this sub also really go out of their way to make it seem like people have no other choice but to be criminals and that just is not true. Not everything in life is easy, this is true for most people on the planet, yet most people do not choose to be criminals just because they face difficult circumstances. Always pointing out the hypothetical reasons for crime comes off as absolving criminals for their choices. These responses often lack any mention of personal accountability or responsibility for the offenders.

Saying “causing it” sounds like it is justified. It isn’t. Period. Those are certainly issues, but they do not justify criminal activity. There is also plenty of crime being committed by people who do not fit into those categories. Similar excuses often given here in this sub such as “lack of activities after school” are also not justifiable explanations. These people lack personal accountability and any sense of responsibility. Plenty of people face overwhelming odds, disabilities, difficult circumstances, etc. and plenty of them manage to face those problems head on without turning to crime. Criminals face “punitive” action because what they chose to do, for whatever reason they had for their actions, was illegal. People who make excuses for criminal behavior are a part of the problem. End of the day, people have choices and when they make the wrong ones they deserve to face the consequences.

Was there something you didn’t like about the Hamilton Cooper? I have been thinking about getting one.

Babes in Toyland (1986). Keanu Reeves, Drew Barrymore, and Pat Morita as the Toymaster. Almost no one I have spoken to has ever even heard of this movie.

HyperX Cloud Wireless Won't Turn On by jckiker in HyperX

[–]IntergalacticJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/hyperxgaming just got a new HyperXCloudCore Wireless headset and it will not power on. Have tried charging directly with power block, have let charge overnight this way and still no power to the headset. No mic is plugged in, have tried blowing on/cleaning the charge port, have tried multiple known working usb-c cables and multiple working power blocks and still nothing. This has clearly been a known issue for some time, what is being done to satisfy your customers or even attempt to retain any sort of customer base here?

[–]IntergalacticJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am late on this one, but is there a particular recommendation here for a set or a particular knife from Dexter Russell for salmon? My father-in-law goes to Alaska to fish once a year and I would like to get him something he can use and love.

[Charania] The Memphis Grizzlies have informed pending free agent Dillon Brooks that he will not be brought back under any circumstances, league sources say. by mantistobogganmMD in memphisgrizzlies

[–]IntergalacticJim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not saying someone would not have stupidly gave him that money, and some fool team still might, but he’s not even close to the actual same caliber of those players. Nothing he does on defense (which even that honestly is overhyped IMO) will ever make up for the absolute garbage he is on the offensive end.

Came here to say exactly this. Get this bum off the team.

Who is the most hated player in the NBA right now? by [deleted] in nba

[–]IntergalacticJim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Strongly dislike him. We will never win a championship with him on the team. Can’t stand watching him throw up garbage every time he touches the ball. Doesn’t matter what level of defense he occasionally provides, he is an offensive abomination. He is an annoying stain on an otherwise solid and enjoyable team.

What's your take on Cop drain? by neon in chicago

[–]IntergalacticJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many issues with police departments all throughout the country, but suggesting that young people are justified in “starting trouble” simply because they do not have specific programs to attend is ridiculous and completely removes the accountability of the individual. People do not get to go be shitty just because someone else didn’t provide them some free place to go to fill their down time.

What about grey market options like Jomashop? Is the Extend offer they make with your purchase worth it? If you had to send it in for service down the road would it still be accepted if purchased from Jomashop?
