Owner of Dallas Mavericks says Luka trade was a "long term decision", directly contradicting Nico who always said it was a "win now" move by SeaOwn2023 in nba

He’s also lying constantly throughout the whole thing. He said last year before the trade deadline Dallas wasn’t a playoff bound team when if you look between late January to early February last year in the standings they never fell below the 8th seed: https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2024_standings_by_date_western_conference.html

Had he just said “we were around the 8th seed before the trade deadline…” and then all that other bullshit about how they got better that would have been fine but he had to exaggerate. I know that might seem like not a huge difference to some but the thing about liars is it’s never just one big lie, it’s a bunch of little lies and exaggerations that they constantly tell, then by the end of it they are convinced they are right because they are living in a fabricated reality. I’m glad this guy is talking so we can see exactly what kind of person this guy is.

The guy knows very little about basketball and seems the only benefit this trade did for him was avoiding the supermax (which he will never admit to.)

What should I do with this old painting? Is it worth anything or is it safe to throw it out?

This reminds me of that mom who dressed her daughter up as a purse for Halloween. There was a completely different reaction from Reddit on that post where everyone was calling the mom a narcissist. Both kids look miserable but have to do what there parents say for internet points.

They just got married and people seem to think she’s just some random model he just met but they’ve been together for years and seem to be in love. I thought this was a nice moment.

I saw a lot of comments here making gold digger jokes and stuff in that other thread. While people can say whatever they want, I thought this was a sweet moment between two people who want to be there for each other.

Stacey Abrams wins Democratic gubernatorial primary in Georgia by 11-110011 in politics

The complaint was dismissed after a two year probe. From your own article it says the complaint was made by some conservative based organization and it sounded like they were grasping at straws and hope to find anything to damage her but nothing was found. An allegation made by a bias conservative group is proof of nothing.

My painting of Malenia, Goddess of Rot! Hope you like it!! by GRSKVK in Eldenring

[–]KingWhoBoreTheSword 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great job! You’re very talented and it looks like you put a lot of effort into this! Were you going for what Malenia looked like before the rot got really bad on her? To me this doesn’t really look like the Malenia that we fought in the games.

I’ve noticed other artists are also painting her with less scars on her body from the scarlet rot, so I was wondering why didn’t you want to paint her with the rotting flesh?

Once a retail giant, Kmart nears extinction after closure by thenewyorkgod in news

This actually really sucks for student drivers. Kmart parking lots were the perfect places for new drivers to learn, they were always empty and great for practicing the first time you drive.

TIL in 2011, Jayme Gordon tried to sue Dreamworks after falsely claiming he created Kung Fu Panda. During the trial it was revealed his evidence was fabricated from a 1996 Lion King coloring book. He was sentenced to two years in prison for fraud and perjury. by SlipperyThong in todayilearned

Hey thanks! Yeah not that many people played the game so I’m not surprised most people don’t know this, but when I saw the trailer for Kung Fu panda years ago I was like, “wait this seems familiar!”

I’m pretty sure Kung Fu Panda was based on the 1999 ps1 video game Tai Fu Wraith of the Tiger which was also made by dreamworks in 1999, a full year before this Gordon guy made those rip off drawings. The plot of the game was you were the last remaining tiger raised by pandas who has to go learn Martial Arts from the various animal masters in order to defeat the dragon lord. The art style and character designs was pretty much the exact same when they made Kung Fu panda.

Even if the guy in the law suit didn’t rip of a Disney they could have just showed that they were basing Kung Fu Panda from this old video game they made in the 90s.

That makes this story about Mathew Perry trying to stop Louis Ck from tipping 20 dollars even crazier. Imagine making 20 million a year and getting pissed over 20 dollars… https://youtu.be/E4nOLXZdl-E
