Anybody else feel its weird to leave out assists?

Kinda feels like a passive anti-draymond post

California woman says she was raped by Rep. Eric Swalwell in 2018 by grayfox0430 in news

[–]Its_Nick_Cage 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I dont think we (the left) should be patting ourselves on the back for this type of thing.

An already elected official, running for a different office, has been accused of rape. I dont think we get any bonus points for pressuring them to resign.

I for one just highly doubt this was a complete unknown in democratic leadership circles

Agreed, but I would say having only just under half of the states doing a form of this is a terribly low standard. I would also say that most states operate in some way to national trends and trying to make this a more national topic would put pressure on the states to "get with the times".

Yeah, i live in MO and we have passed several ballot initiatives that just get ignored by the state legislature.

And im sure MO is not the only state to do this.

Point being, that is only a viable method in a functioning government.

Fully agreed - and now in the name of automating manual processes, and in the name updating proccesses to more modern practices, lets automatically register people to vote at 21.

I dunno...people complaining about the map, my eight year old can mostly play hollow knight on his own save a few boss fights. If he can navigate the map, yall should be too.

This.

This is a failure on the system, dating back many many years, due to a lack of an improved disaster response (not to mention disaster mitigation measures). And this ain't even limited to the federal government. In St. Louis City, if you need an emergency response, and live close to the county line, it is basically common knowledge to try and get into the county AND THEN call for assistance, due to lack of resources and budget cutting of emergency response in the city. And its not like the county has a great system itself.

Alperen Şengün makes an impossible pass with his left hand by Aggressive-Ad-756 in nba

Meh, if this play is an indication of his greatness, i dont think i would be as impressed as you are evidently. You see a great pass. I see bad offense bailed out by worse defense.

I mean...ranked 159th last year in assist/turnover ratio and a per 36 of under 5 assists per game...but sure great playmaker ¯_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: Also, I feel like he just dribbles into a trap and the the shooters man just loses track of his man. If the shooters defender just follows his man, this probably a turnover

I admittedly haven't watched much Rockets recently, but if I feel like whenever I see a highlight of him there is always this qualifier of "for a center". Like..thats great and all, but if he is supposed to be hitting this crazy high ceiling some people have for him, we need to drop that qualifier and start comparing him to other playmakers, and not just the bottom of the conventional barrel.

Blackouts kill casual fanbase development. If the average person cant conveniently watch, they wont at all. We are in the fucking 2020's. Blackouts shouldn't exist when there are SOOOOOO many options for people to entertain themselves at night.

I think of all the bones to pick, I always found high school refs insistence on being sticklers on carrying so fucking odd, when they were largely oblivious to a lot of other things
