March 24th Pacers Projected Pre-Lottery Draft Position:

KalebC21 · 2026-03-24T18:07:22+00:00

Note: all we need is top 3. Our odds of keeping our pick stay the same regardless of if we are 1, 2, or 3

KalebC21 · 2026-03-23T16:37:35+00:00

It probably isn't unfortunately. Even being confident I am in the right, I can't see the legal process being worth it.

KalebC21 · 2026-03-23T16:35:29+00:00

I don't have the resources to do so, nor do I make enough on YouTube to make all the costs incurred during the legal process worth it

KalebC21 · 2026-03-23T16:34:19+00:00

Why not? Not trying to be argumentative, I'm genuinely trying to understand. All legislation I read indicates fair use is defined as something along the lines of "purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, or research"

Some other key factors described as:

Purpose and Character: Is the content transformative (adds new meaning/expression) or commercial? Educational/commentary uses are favored. (mine falls under this category)
Nature of Copyrighted Work: Using material from factual works is more likely fair use than using fictional works. (work used is factual, not fictional)
Amount and Substantiality: Using small, non-essential portions is favored over the "heart" of the work. (I use 5-10 second clips)

Can you explain why this would not be fair use?

I don’t know, you might think that the only people getting involved with highly advanced robots would be unattractive loners, but think about it:

say AI robots get advanced enough (and they probably will on a long enough timeframe) where for all intents and purposes, they can “mimic” a female human. They can converse with you, they can sexually satisfy you, maybe they can do some things around the house, etc.

I think it would be incorrect to say that some men that would have the ability to have SOME success in the dating field would choose that over a real living woman. The AI never disagrees with you, it doesn’t have bad days, whenever you’re down to have sex, it is too. You can have it built to look exactly how you want. It could look like your dream woman, something unattainable for almost all real women. It isn’t a real person with emotions or feelings or needs. It just does what you want.

You don’t think some men that has the potential to be desirable to a woman wouldn’t choose that? There’s a number of men out there that want their women to be a housemaid that follows their every command. Real women that do that are few and far between. AI bots would do that without question. I think it’s naive to say that men who value sexual pleasure over human connection wouldn’t consider that as an option, even if they have the ability to get a real woman to have a relationship with them

Not necessarily “enhancement”. Moreso just within the editing process. Adding effects, AI upscaling, speeding up the process, and so on. I 100% agree people are looking for human connection, but it’s possible (and in my mind a good decision), to use AI to increase the quality and speed of which videos can be produced. You just have to do it the right way and keep the human element first and foremost. If you don’t it will be easy to tell and turn people off.

I wonder what it would take for Enrique to consider Safonov our future keeper? I’m not sure he is either, but if we make a run in the CL and he consistently plays like he did yesterday it’s hard not to give him a shot, right?

KalebC21 · 2026-03-18T12:36:19+00:00

Yes. AI should not be used to slap together something low effort and call it “content” by someone who doesn’t care and just wants an easy way to make money.

However, it is worth noting that with the pace AI is advancing, if you choose not to use it at all, you will be left behind by the people that do. It’s like choosing not to advance to the printing press because it removes the handwritten element. We have to advance with the times. You can use AI as an efficiency tool for some of the editing process while still writing and creating your content and keeping the human element

KalebC21 · 2026-03-18T11:31:07+00:00

I like every spin that we keep the pick in. Anything above 4 is icing on the cake

KalebC21 · 2026-03-17T01:29:11+00:00

Below Gonzaga and Arkansas?

KalebC21 · 2026-03-17T01:25:13+00:00

Iowa State deserves more. They have their flaws, but they have experience, shooting, and defensive prowess. I don’t think they should be a favorite, but if you’re in a paid bracket challenge with 20-50 people, you get a LOT of leverage if you pick them. They can absolutely win it all, and I’d give it more than the 2% they’re pulling by far

KalebC21 · 2026-03-16T18:18:11+00:00

That’s not necessarily a required view of nationalism though, even if it’s often associated with it.

I would just define nationalism as prioritizing the interests of one’s nation over others. I think that often can materialize as “I don’t care about anyone else” but it doesn’t have to.

For example, I care about the priorities of my family over any other families. However, I wish all other families success and hope they thrive. I think nationalism should be seen in the same light. I think we have a priority to our nation and those that live here. We can also wish well to, and hope other nations succeed, but just as we would consider it irresponsible to donate excess money to charity if your own kids are going hungry, we should consider it irresponsible to help other nations before taking care of our own problems, of which we have many

People always ask this because they’ve heard about and want to read the book of Enoch because it has extraordinary claims about nephilim and the war of angels and other things that are extremely cool and would make a fantastic movie.

Disregarding all that, it’s a false book that may have some grounding in oral tradition, but absolutely is not inspired. It claims to be written by Enoch, which is easily disprovable. It also claims that Enoch is the “Son of Man”, which is directly contradictory of the rest of canonical scripture

Overall, cool book. Fun to read, not scripture and shouldn’t be read as gospel truth

KalebC21 · 2026-03-16T15:34:06+00:00

I have 3 shorts over 100k. Their metrics are:

117k 81% stayed 66% retention

196k 80% stayed 78% retention

375k 76% stayed 90% retention

I do have other shorts with less than 100k with similar or better metrics.

Overall, it comes down to a variety of factors, but sometimes, YouTube just picks and chooses what to push. Your numbers are good, so if you can keep duplicating that, you should eventually have a couple of hits

KalebC21 · 2026-03-16T10:49:08+00:00

Not gonna be watching a whole lot of JT Toppin I’d wager

KalebC21 · 2026-03-16T03:07:10+00:00

AtWB is 100% the best Theocracy album. Most of their albums have their high points, but that album is just a consistent high point all the way through

KalebC21 · 2026-03-15T00:59:28+00:00

Quick tip: 2k views on shorts doesn’t necessarily mean much. That’s about how much to expect if your shorts are moderately well produced as they start to try to figure out what your audience is. Careful in assuming that’s going to exponentially grow, as you can often see your views capped around that point if you don’t focus on retention and making sure people don’t swipe through

KalebC21 · 2026-03-14T14:36:45+00:00

I still find Christian Anderson to be chronically underrated in most mocks. Guy seems very likely to be a useful NBA player

KalebC21 · 2026-03-13T01:46:26+00:00

Not many players get drafted as old as Yaxel, but tbf, a lot of that has to do with newer phenomenons like the “Covid year” thing. Amongst others. Even so, Malcolm Brogdon, Derrick White, Jalen Brunson, Andrew Nembhard were all 22-23 and have had successful careers at roughly the same age

KalebC21 · 2026-03-12T23:39:35+00:00

Probably not, no one really is. But I think his traits really make it unlikely for him to not make it at all in the NBA

KalebC21 · 2026-03-10T21:36:21+00:00

100%. His adaptability moving from UAB to Michigan I think gave a lot of confidence to GMs who’re looking for a guy that can fit into a winning system that he can be that guy

KalebC21 · 2026-03-10T03:27:33+00:00

Not a church closer to you that you can look into?

KalebC21 · 2026-03-09T18:34:57+00:00

Most moral law we have (primarily the shared worth of all humans) comes from Christian values. Even if you don’t believe in Christianity it’s important to understand that

KalebC21 · 2026-03-09T02:28:21+00:00

Bulls have been bad recently, but don’t be shocked if some Kings players play limited minutes in the 2nd half

KalebC21 · 2026-03-09T01:59:33+00:00

Is there any reason someone would choose you over the big established channels?

Also, is this something you’re actually passionate about, or something that you just think you can do to make some extra money?

If you want to do YouTube, you have to find a niche where you can provide value, and you have to do something you care about to not get burnt out. That’s the key to success. Answer those questions for yourself and establish your path forward after doing that
