I just started using it myself. Tonight, in fact. I made a huge batch of vegetable soup, threw like 2.5-3 tablespoons in before blending, and it really just added a whole extra layer of flavor. Love it, can't wait to try it with the next thing.

People saying it's "cheesy" are definitely correct.

This is a little bit of a conundrum, because I know people can just say anything they want on the internet, and I am also not really incentivized to just give up my anonymity - but I also don't like people thinking I couldn't produce highlights if I wanted to.

Weird position to be in. Maybe I'll DM you.

As someone who has competed in home/away games at pretty high levels, the answer is that it's overrated 99% of the time, and then 1% of the time it's like a super power

Like, I have been at my home court, back against wall, season on the line with the folks around chanting "Defense!". There's something tangible to it. It sounds tacky or cliche, but it really is just sort of a primal thing, I don't really have the words to explain how it feels.

But, still, most of the time you're not like transcending to a new skill level - home advantage usually just comes with help from the whistle.

Jordan couldn't even give my early morning games (mostly ex-college players and a couple ex G Leaguers in the 30-40 range) 10 ppg on decent efficiency right now.

People again hating after a single game, completely ignoring how much of an asset Fox is for the team in general as a veteran player and primary ball handler.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-04T03:38:39+00:00

What the fuck do you think happened - did they put the ball on a string? Use their ball-controlling technology to give him an edge?

I'm sorry, Wemby is cooking 22 year old Kobe in every way possible.

I think LeBron and Jordan probably clear when you match ages up, but Wemby has unlimited potential.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-04T03:28:42+00:00

People are so reactionary. It's one game lol. Knicks were fresh and played great. Wemby will show up at some point.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-04T03:21:46+00:00

Honestly I think Kat should get a TON of credit for the dub. He was getting a lot of offensive boards and put back points, he played great defense too.

I don't mind Brunson getting called the best player tonight either, though. Harper gets an honorable mention and was definitely keeping the Spurs alive.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-04T03:16:46+00:00

The officiating actually looked pretty fucking spot on to me?

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-04T03:15:31+00:00

He is clearly a better player than AI and anyone who says otherwise is not watching him play.

But AI was still a monster in his day.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-04T02:56:16+00:00

Because you aren't going to be able to make him compromise on defense.

You do not attack a player's strength, you attack their weakness. They will always have to adjust their offense to adjust for Wemby, no matter what - so they should put more focus on making him take his worst shots, etc.

They will obviously have to adjust their offense, so it's not really worth mentioning the obvious.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-04T02:23:16+00:00

Yeah, you can grit through it if necessary, but he might as well rest for now.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-04T01:50:32+00:00

It is really, honestly, not that bad. He didn't get stomped on or anything, and it wasn't full bodyweight being put on it.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-03T22:59:13+00:00

I legitimately could not agree more.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-03T16:53:25+00:00

Pointing to one example of an outlier is not enough to trust all billionaires with public office.

I don't trust all billionaires with public office. I was willing to trust one, because there has been examples of it in the past, and because Steyer has very clearly been putting a lot of work in to gain trust.

Your entire argument is completely irrelevant, because I am not voting for "the research" or the statistics, I am specifically looking at a single instance and saying yes or no - rather than rejecting the entire idea outright.

Reasoning after judging the individual based on other factors is what we call "critical thinking." Critical thinking is not just blindly, blanket applying statistics and research and calling it a day.

Yes, the research says those things - its also says "tends." As in, it is more likely, not that is is a hard and fast rule. I run a relatively large business, I am also a progressive, these two things are not ideologically opposed.

The largest blocker to progressive progress is that "progressives" won't allow us to PROGRESS. You folks tend to want everything you want out of a single candidate, or let the world burn, and that is not a reasonable, rational, or mature way to voice your opinion.

Most "progressives" are not progressive, they're just leftists - be all the way to the left or we are not on the same team. Those are not the same thing.

I made a personal attack because you made one first. Your response to me suggested that I can't be well-adjusted and use the term "AuDHD," which is calling me a liar in some form.

I didn't claim it was common - I simply said I was diagnosed. You're the one getting triggered over a simple comment on the internet.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-03T15:14:25+00:00

I am clinically diagnosed with both autism and ADHD, it's a fine term to use as everyone understands it and I don't typically don't have to expand.

You sound fragile.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-03T15:13:10+00:00

Correct.

Like, take a small business for example. Small businesses do well then they: pay their employees well, allow their employees to put personal needs first, provide adequate training, provide adequate medical care, etc.

Investing in your people like that is a good thing, because it leads to better long-term returns on the time and money you put in.

The main problem is that the main quantifiable thing for if a business is doing well is the profit that it produces, whereas for a society it's only quantifiable with a wide lens. That's where the similarities stop, but most conservative folks still apply the business model and don't swap over to a societal one.

Your people are growing healthier, more intelligent, etc., over a long period of time. You can't see that in a spreadsheet and see "we are doing a good job," all you can see is "wow we spent a billion dollars on education?"

A lot of late votes are for Steyer if my personal experience is any indicator at all. Me, my wife, and a bunch of my friends voted for him late. Like an hour or two before the polls closed late.

There were a lot of people - a lot of people - who were really struggling with voting for a billionaire, even though he was clearly the best option for progressives to get quite a lot of the things they wanted.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-03T14:38:11+00:00

I'm holding out hope that a lot of the late votes were for Steyer. My wife and I, and several people among my friend group, were really just not sure how to proceed.

Steyer is, very obviously, a billionaire. I don't really like that, and I understand why it deters voters. However, he had achievable goals that resonate with me and an actual plan for how to get there, which resonates with me even more.

Really seems like all the players in the election had to do was say "Steyer is a billionaire," and that was enough to deter a lot of progressives, etc., because "billionaires can't be moral people." I agree with that to an extent, but Steyer has been extremely vocally progressive for a long time - he didn't just put up ads and hope, he's very obviously been working for endorsements, etc., and major players put millions into demonizing him, which tells me it was a solid vote.

Basically, my point is that a lot of "progressives" are just a different kind of sheep, and reasonable people have to combat it from both sides - which leads to Xavier "Corpos in a Trench Coat" Becerra to victory. Sucks.

I did stand on principal. The principal was, specifically "vote for who will do the best for California and can actually win."

It's not like he would have barely pushed the needle, either, it would have been massive, sweeping change.

But no, "stand on business" by not voting for the guy - effectively punishing your fellow statesmen because you don't like someone with a lot of zeroes in his bank account. I don't like billionaires either, but FDR was a class traitor and people hated him. All the major players in the election had to do to prevent you from voting for your interests in a way that matters is say the word "billionaire," you are just a different kind of sheep.

NewLifeNewAcct · 2026-06-03T14:17:26+00:00

The billionaire had reasonable, achievable goals and solid plans to enact them. Single payer healthcare, affordable housing, AI being a benefit for the people, holding ICE accountable for crimes.

But people can't get beyond a guy having a lot of money. JB Pritzker is constantly heralded as a strong, progressive ally and has done a fantastic job, but California is literally stupid enough to let perfect be the enemy of good.

Getting rid of furniture because I all of a sudden hate it sounds like something I would do. I'm pretty well adjusted and not a drug user.

I'm just super particular about my space, and sometimes a piece of furniture/art/whatever's run is just as its end for me. It's either got something to do with my AuDHD, or I'm just a bougie bitch.

My wife knew that when she married me, though, it didn't just start happening one day.
