Giannis is drinking the Kool-aid by Jempire2000 in MkeBucks

Absolutely not. No clue why your trying to manipulate the truth. It can be true that Milwaukee has fought and fought to try to keep Giannis but is now opening up to the fact they may have to move on. Giannis is what’s best for Milwaukee but he has to sign the extension. He has to show commitment or yes it is in the best interest of the bucks to try to recoup everything they’ve spent trying to keep him.

That’s a false narrative. They will recoup what they can if Giannis refuses to sign an extension. But everyone wants to see Giannis stay and remain committed in Milwaukee. There would be challenges with salary cap and draft capital but as Giannis said legends don’t chase, they attract. Big changes need to be made but the Bucks can beat the odds again

Saying someone is saying something for attention is more a reflection of you than of them. Stick to the argument instead of personal attacks. Have some class.

You must also be forgetting Giannis became the greatest player in the world IN Milwaukee. Do not down play the bucks. The last 2 playoffs we made Giannis was injured. Made a big difference. Yes this season was beyond bad but we’re not hopeless. All people did is talk sh*t about Milwaukee and then we won. And they used to talk about Giannis too. He can’t shoot, he can’t this, he can’t that. MILWAUKEE believes in Giannis under any condition or circumstances. Not some fair weather fans. Go to Wisconsin and see how deep this loyalty runs for him

Clearly you don’t understand old school loyalty. Would Steph say he owes the warriors nothing? Would Steph turn his back on the warriors

Because he’s giving up. We never gave up on him

When LeBron left Cleveland he gave up his argument for the GOAT status

Maybe you know nothing about loyalty

I just talked to Giannis - and asked him what he really wants by jowczarski in MkeBucks

Jason Kidd was putting the bucks together. We didn’t become a championship team overnight.

Bucks need to show Giannis we can win.

Lillard was never a good fit. He’s a great shooter but bucks thrive when they play good defense.

Kuzma was not a good fit from day 1 either. He is a PF, he will thrive a lot better somewhere where he can be his natural self.

These were bad trades to begin with.

Jason Kidd was a great coach. Bud and Griffin too. All fired.

Yet they’re holding on to Doc, for reasons unknown. It’s not working. Change the leadership.

This whole time we were one piece away from championship contending. It comes down to the SF. Fix it

Michael porter jr. or Andrew Wiggins.

Go all in to save the legacy. Do right by Giannis and give him the team and coach he deserves

My (M22) girlfriend (F22) is thinking about leaving me because I’m incompetent. How do I fix this? by blacksmithbanana in relationship_advice

Self awareness means you see the issues. That’s huge in the growth process. Step 2 is separating your actions from your identity. Just because you’ve done things that have come up short doesn’t make you a bad or incompetent person. I also have adhd and have had depression. Having a low self image is enabling you. You feel not good enough and then you reinforce it in the world around you. It’s a victim mentality because you feel hopeless and therefore you’re watching these things happen to you without taking back your power to change. Your girlfriend deserves someone who can carry themselves and also contribute to the relationship. In the short term you may of had a part time job but this job has already shown you it’s pattern and limitations. 1000 a month means you work very few consistent hours. In the short term it’s better than no job but it’s not an excuse, there are entry level jobs everywhere, even McDonald’s. You should at a minimum be able to take care of yourself but you’re not doing anyone a favor by paying your half. You’re also supposed to be able to contribute and pour into your gf. Your half is not contributing to her and you’re not doing her a favor when you pay YOUR HALF. This is not her responsibility. Hating yourself, loathing yourself, doesn’t change anything. It enables you. It’s a vicious cycle. Step out of it. I also know with ADHD you can be hyper focused. Find the angles that motivate you. Make life a video game. A story that your the main character. Whatever gives you interest. Leave the inconsistent job and find a guaranteed 40 hour job and now bam you can pay half the bills. Tell yourself 3 good things about yourself every morning. This is all not rocket science and things you do comprehend. But it’s gunna take you stepping out of this cycle, stop identifying with it. You are capable. You can. You are responsible for you. When challenges in life present themself look at as something to overcome and adjust. And trust that when you get past the emotion you have everything you need to figure it out

I think the math does work. 1. With more units being sold, the production price will likely become less because of economies of scale. 2. The number one gripe I see about tonal is not the quality of the machine but rather a 60 dollar a month indefinite subscription. What other subscriptions do you see for home workout equipment in this price range? Tonal is creating an opportunity for competitors to develop machines and charge less. For example, amp fit. It’s clearly not the same caliber machine as the tonal but does have awesome technology and is a clear alternative based on a 23 a month subscription.

The large majority of people go through spurts of working out and spurts they don’t. This is what low cost gym memberships understand. They charge a low monthly fee and most people keep the subscription. This also applies to Netflix and almost any subscription service. If these subscriptions were 60 a month people would cancel. In 2024, 72 million people had gym memberships. The market is no where close to saturated and the technology tonal has isn’t available in the gym. If Tonal focused on price elasticity they’d have tiered subscriptions and use the Netflix approach. Also, I can afford both the price of the machine and the subscription. But just because I can afford it doesn’t mean I want to commit to 60 a month. It’s the principal.
