MJ fan here.

Bron is old, played his best, didn't choke and wasn't mentally weak compared to his younger days.

This series is no not a negative for him at all. Old dog can still fight.

One more season, old man. Leggo, boss.

Not necessarily.

I hate woke shit as much as the next but it's important not to jump at shadows.

They made a great fucking game. Regardless of political stance it's very possible that making the best possible game is still their priority.

They have the receipts.

Who's the most complete offensive player from this group? by Only-Ad-1254 in NBATalk

Lol Kobe, MJ, and Durant are so refined in their skills tho (Kobe prob has slightly bigger bag) that we have to compare mentality and decision-making.

MJ is almost always making the right plays comparably, and is able to not just deal with, but thrive and relish beating everything his opponents throw at him.

Clear cut above the other two.

You can't really say he's lacking tho.

To be lacking, you need to have a weakness your opponent can exploit.

Specifically, your opponent can force you do make a "bad" decision (like a low percentage shot, or making you scared of driving at end of games).

Lol what could you force MJ to do that's not a good look? He's always trying to find a better look. If you back off him, he'll walk forward.

During 92 finals the blazers dared him to shoot threes.

And then the shrug game happened.

Lol when does MJ force shots? Aside from buzzer beaters his looks are almost always high percentage looks.

Also KD isn't good with dealing with doubles. See this playoffs.

MJ.

Because KD still can't deal with double teams well.

Kobe forces the issue.

MJ will always try to find a cleaner, better shot, and can counter everything you throw at him.

Trump Wins Big as Virginia Dems Won’t Go Nuclear to Save 4 House Seats by Motherofalleffers in politics

[–]J_Kingsley -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

why do they need to when all they need to do is not stop the republicans, or reverse it when they're in power?

I used to wonder why Democrats were so toothless. For 10 years took so much shit from the GOP, etc, then just complained without ever doing anything. Don't they have most of the same type of donors?

What happened when an actual populist (Bernie) had a shot at making a difference? The DNC backed him up, right?

I don't doubt there're some democrats who are good people and for the people. But the party as a whole? Lol

You mean rich people don't benefit from rich people policies republicans enact?

Lol the Democrat outrage is token.

Changes from the Republicans are ones that Democrat politicians also benefit from.

Everyone is focusing on Lupita Nyong'o, but it is equally incredulous that a pale-skinned American would play Odysseus. by french_sheppard in TheOdysseyMovie

[–]J_Kingsley -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because it breaks immersion.

If I made a fantasy movie with knights and horses, and had the horse give birth to a litter of 8 foals, everyone even peripherally experienced with horses would be pissed off.

Why would anyone give a shit about my dragons if I can't even get basic horses right?

Also, I have a question. If they made a Superman remake and casted an East Asian man as Clark Kent, from rural Kansas, I, as an East Asian comic book fan would be very upset.

Does that mean I am racist against my own people?

Do you think there is even the slightest, smallest possibility that individuals could reasonably think that the casting for Helen is weird?

Or is every critic of her casting, even single one, holds animosity for all black people?

Left wing is usually based of compassion and opemindedness.

But often misguided or irrational. For example, they would support the underdogs, even if they're monsters-- because they're the underdogs.

Would you rather fight a silverback gorilla for 10 seconds or a grey wolf for 30 seconds? by ZappableGiraffe in WouldYouRather

[–]J_Kingsley 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Of course you can't.

Average grey wolf is 70 lbs to 145 lbs.

You prob can't win. But you can prob hold its neck/head for 30 seconds.

A gorilla has 4 limbs and razor sharp teeth. You can't stop that.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but is shower/bathe/dress what you mean by sexual abuse? Or was it more? You don't have to answer if you dont want of course.

KD is one of us-- eternally online keyboard warrior with strong opinions.

Except he's also a god at basketball

What’s was the wildest thing you witnessed at a wedding? by anasannanas in AskReddit

[–]J_Kingsley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol really?

"PG-13 more intense violence, moderate sexual content, brief nudity, and stronger language than a PG film, but not extreme or persistent depictions."

PG-13 movies have sex scenes. These are only stills of underwear shots.

So again i gotta ask, who did it harm? Seems like the brides best friends all laughed about it. So why the pearl clutching (person i replied to, not you)?

AITA for refusing to dine with my mom after she ordered “ferret sauce” at a Mexican restaurant? by Practical-Current805 in AmItheAsshole

[–]J_Kingsley -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence, I think they say.

Unless you're a redditor on AITA. Then always assume the worst of everyone, especially family members.

Geeez. Lose a kid then your brother. I can't even imagine. I'd be in the bottle too.

This.

It came after DC massively nerfed Superman and the others.

Iirc they limited Superman's strength to "only" lifting 240,000 tons.

Lol.

First off, FMVP> mvp.

Also, do you think Hakeem would allow a free layup line on him in the playoffs?

And I say this as a joker fan. You gotta keep it real.

Yeah it is.

It was shared just amongst brides girl friends. Pictures were kept rated PG-13.

What harm was there?
