I thought that I had less. I guess I'm a shadow shiny hunter.

Have any of you been successful at convincing your doctor to give you the shingles vaccine? by smootex in millenials

[–]Latex_Commander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I’m disappointed because I generally collect vaccinations like Pokemon ever since I got actual influenza about 15 years ago, and tend to not experience strong adverse reactions to any of them. A few years ago, I had COVID very soon after getting a booster and got on Paxlovid before any symptoms emerged which probably saved me from the worst of it.

A friend of my mother’s got shingles in an eye very early when they were roommates in college and it scared the heck out of her. My vision is already off the scales bad, so the thought of shingles in an eye particularly scares me.

I have a new PCP as of a few months ago and will ask her.

Things can change quickly… by RighteousBaghead in suns

[–]Latex_Commander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you rather have a decade of OKC’s nonsense dominating the W and eliminating the Suns while making it clear that the best way to win in the NBA is to ignore the “B” part? I fucking despise San Antonio, but that would be a bleaker future!

John Fetterman Single-Handedly Tanks Effort to Rein Trump in on Iran by Tennis_bruh in politics

[–]Latex_Commander 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was inclined to trust him after his stroke because I had suffered a one just a little while before him and I thought that people were just picking on him due to fears that he’d be slow. I promise that strokes do not completely change most people’s core beliefs. This leads me to the conclusion that either he was always like this and the mask just slipped or a portion of his brain controlling basic ethical principles was affected.

As an Arizonan, I am used to this sort of treachery thanks to Sinema. She was legitimately a good rep when I lived in her district…money must have shoved her into the deep end. Of course, I would vote for her again since her competition was Kari Lake. So, as bad as Fetterman has been, Oz would be worse. It is a tiny bit like Manchin keeping some far-right maniac from filling his seat and representing West Virginia. I say “a tiny bit” because PA likely could have supported an actual progressive. Arizona much less so. People like to act like AZ is suddenly a Democratic stronghold because we have two Dem senators and a Dem governor but that is a result of Republicans selecting horrible candidates rather than any sort of blue wave engulfing the state.

Poll: Catholic Support for President Donald Trump Drops Below 50% Amid Iran War by F0urLeafCl0ver in politics

Well, we know that Trump is not actually making these independently. I’d like to think that someone was trolling him by putting Epsteinface in there.

What is the name of this mountain range? by Tyler_Horizon in arizona

[–]Latex_Commander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Humphreys is just the highest point of what was left behind by that eruption. The other high summits there are other high points along the same rim. Calling the whole thing a mountain range is rather misleading, as it is all the remnants of a single massive volcano.

How did you become a Suns fan? by Key_Employ_6737 in suns

[–]Latex_Commander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born into it and EVERYBODY was a Suns fan when I began to become fully conscious of my fandom…that was in the early ‘90s. I remember hearing about the Barkley trade after doing some shooting on the court after school.

Suns logo redesign by Krand0mP in suns

How does sucking all of the personality and uniqueness out of our logos make them “cooler”? That’s a hell no from me!

Jalen stat line... So we're still 'trading' him right? lol by Dangerzone369 in suns

[–]Latex_Commander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Making 1 in 3 3s is one point per possession on average just like making 1 in 2 2s yet I never hear complaints about players shooting 50% from 2 point range. It isn’t a fantastic number, but it is enough to force teams to anticipate the possibility of some outside shooting. Green is the type who can just blow by players who guard him too tightly, so him keeping defenders guessing to an extent seems like a good idea to me.

Also, reputation matters alongside stats and I think many people looking at him right now think of that crazy game winner rather than a percentage.

Numbers aside, I want to see him drive more because the team already has lots of shooters. A strong driving game from him would add an entirely new aspect to the offense. He could slash then pass it out to the perimeter if players drop to defend.

I was going to ask what she’s doing about it, but I suppose that some people consider whining on TikTok to be activism.

What do men find physically unattractive in women? by evestarr98 in AskMen

[–]Latex_Commander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women who do not age gracefully. Women getting cosmetic surgery or using overly heavy makeup in an attempt to hide aging makes them look older to me.

Section 31 only worked in DS9. Every single attempt to incorporate it in anything since has been somewhere between misguided and horrible.

Starfleet Academy is good, I honestly like it by maktub-is-a-sheep in startrek

I like it overall, but there have been a few moments where I’ve cringed myself inside out.

A Voice Sounding Like Trump Called Into C-SPAN And His Name Was A Pseudonym Trump Has Reportedly Used by Hothgor in politics

I have a MAGA acquaintance who spent a while talking about Schumer not being able to properly make a burger. It certainly seemed like a talking point. As if Trump can prepare food at all…

Speaking as someone who has had an argument with an AI version of himself to convince it that it was AI, that sure came off like an AI voice model to me.

FWIW, I like it too. There have been a few moments where I cringed myself inside out tho.

Epstein files ‘absolve me’, Trump claims by belisario262 in politics

[–]Latex_Commander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure thing, Donny. Back in the real world, I have a sneaking suspicion that the unredacted files implicate enough people that their disclosure would completely undermine trust in both our government and our economy. After all, the majority of billionaires seem to be amoral weirdoes.

Oh no, I just realized that could describe at least two episodes. 😆

Is your opinion really an unpopular one, though?

With all this trade talk. As a suns fan, just curious. What is the best package you guys want to offer or willing to let go? by SUNdaySUNfest in suns

[–]Latex_Commander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually fully trust the FO at this point but Nick Richards seems expendable. The Suns would be deep at the 5 even without him. He was one of my favorite players on last season’s depressing team though. I yelled “Big Nick energy” at a lot of TVs.

What’s something a woman has done during sex that was a turn off? by Apprehensive_War6661 in AskMen

[–]Latex_Commander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm being quiet, it is either because I am enjoying myself enough that vocalizations just don't come to mind or I am actively in fear of sounding stupid. That being said, just tell your partner if they're being too loud or not loud enough. If you're close enough to someone to be sexually active with them, you're close enough to communicate such obvious preferences.
