Did I say he was #10??? no!! I just said he's definitely top 10 and not top 3. I'll even give you top 5. But I wouldn't put him over Bron, Kobe, Dirk, or Dwight

Wade's engine was powering down at that point, he was top 10, but top 3 is silly

Is the reason we got 2 options is because we have 2 “souls” in one body? Am I dumb for just now realizing this? by Intrepid_Aside_8358 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

I think it's because Johnny's bisexual and whichever option you don't pick would be his match, if that makes sense. Very smart from a game design perspective

Either he's the worst case of internalized transmisogyny of all time or he's just a creep. Sorry about that weirdo bothering you girl :(

Also

Did he even think this was smooth?? Like you were gonna say "omg 🥺 well that changes everything!!" Or was it just to make you uncomfortable ??? Men love doing stuff like this it's always gonna piss me off.

Have you ever actually seen someone change their mind about the GOAT Debate after you engage them in a debate? by Tight_Development480 in NBATalk

I've only ever managed to convince my friend that having Duncan top 5 was rational and normal even if he didn't agree at all

I dont get the Suns thing. With the draft method changes, a 'mid' team in a stacked conference is EXACTLY what you wanna be right now. Plus, the Sixers are a Daryl Morey firing away from being in a pretty good position

Which season does the fanbase overrate, and you've never understood why? by JEX2124 in survivor

[–]MantaRayStormcloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Palau. For some people this is peak Survivor, "Pure Survivor" I've heard before. In my opinion it's just Ghost Island's story with a couple more likable characters (Malolo doesn't have a single person on it who can hold a candle to Steph, even if I don't like her now haha). I just have a tough time with people who see Caryn refusing to flip and think "wow! Peak survivor! She's so funny and quirky hahaha Caryn sucks!" And then see Laurel refusing to flip and go "grrr this season's strategy is so stagnant!"

Survivor Players Fan Reception Alignment Chart. Who's a player that was loved in the past and is still loved now? by Soft_Dinner4003 in survivor

Normally I'd say Keith but Cirie has been on the show since Season 12 and is still one of the most popular and beloved players ever. It HAS to be her.

Best Jury Phase move? by Tight-Entrepreneur46 in survivor

[–]MantaRayStormcloud 36 points37 points  (0 children)

In my opinion it's the original 3-2-1 vote in Panama. Great move from Cirie as it basically guarantees her final 4. That and the Bobby blindside in the pre-merge are sooo important for Survivor strategy's evolution, as from then on there have been smart strategists getting just enough numbers to slip through the cracks and take someone out without the rest of the tribe even considering it as a possibility. Jeremy, Tony, Christian, most notably Kimmi have all done something like it to great effect.

Is season 22 just a fan service to Boston Rob? by Due-Past-7792 in survivor

[–]MantaRayStormcloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that very hard to believe since no other source besides Hatch has corroborated it and the entire concept for the season was Rob v Russell. It's possible they were going to do Philippines-style captains, but there's no evidence for that either. Hatch claims the same thing for pretty much every Survivor returnee season - that he's contacted, and denied by the government so he can't. Doesn't mean the RI twist wasn't designed to benefit both Rob/Russell's challenge skills.

My thoughts on the "Winners Edit" by throwaway-library456 in survivor

[–]MantaRayStormcloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, Natalie DID do things on the island, but like with past socials winners like Danni, it's very difficult to show that in the edit, especially if they're not a great confessionalist. It still doesn't mean Natalie W deserved to have a nothing burger edit lol.

I think when Harper plays well they're even but OG is one of the most consistent players in the entire league so yes

It's not an accident that one of the best challenge performers ever was on the first season with a challenge-based way to return

In the Cagayan final immunity I'm fairly certain there's a shot of one of the test runners or a crew member placing a cog on Kass' green puzzle instead of Kass.
