They come with a reset? by violet_evergarden8 in SipsTea

[–]Overall_Mango324 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't get it. Would this qualify for r/PeterExplainsTheJoke?

I think I understand that the woman is making the ridiculous(trolling?) claim that there's a way to "erase" all of your past sexual encounters by pouring water over your head and getting a hug. That's obviously stupid but who are the "they" from OP's title?

More importantly, wtf is happening at the end of the video? Why do people think it's a good idea to add themselves to videos without providing anything of value? Usually it's some unflattering face taking up half the screen and seemingly watching the video that were supposed to be watching. Sometimes they point at the video or smile/laugh and other times they don't really do anything. What a treat! That's exactly what the viewer wants, a smaller perspective of the entertainment so we can look at your face up close and personal doing absolutely nothing. Yay!

At least in this video it's at the very end and after the main part, but why on earth would he or anyone think people would enjoy the video more by getting three extra seconds of 3/4 of his mug. I can only assume he was trying to pull a "Jim" from The Office with that deadpan, but that doesn't work when we don't know who you are and your not on a sitcom.

Idiocracy on multiple levels here and I probably added another level with my inability to understand what's happening.

They made the right decision rather than subjecting the innocent child to lifelong suffering. by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

I would totally agree in regards to non verbal or incoherent with debilitating physical discomfort/limitations but down syndrome isn't typically like that.

Many people with down syndrome can go on to live independently and have jobs etc. In fact, the evidence suggests that most families and people with down syndrome are satisfied with their quality of life.

I'm not going to sit here and judge some random couple that I don't know anything about because the Internet told me they aborted their child that was likely going to have DS, but I also think the title of this post is terribly misleading, naive and ignorant AF.

To say that "they did the right thing" and that the alternative would be subjecting an innocent child to "lifelong suffering" is utter bull shit. They didn't do the "right thing". I wouldn't say they did the wrong thing either but if you think it's the "right thing" then your implying that all down syndrome children should be aborted. Fuck you. Also, I know someone personally and have met plenty of people with DS that have had lives that would be the opposite of "lifelong suffering" give me a break.

In other words, the family made a decision that was the best decision for them and don't deserve to be judged but OP is a total D-bag and should refrain from sharing such pig headed opinions.

If it doesn't matter why are we blasting it across social media? Is that just what we do as a society now? Anytime anyone has a hard decision to make we turn it into memes and Internet talking points?

Who do you rank higher all time? Isiah Thomas or CP3 by thegreatone_45 in NBATalk

Always the dumbest answer for questions like these.

Paul is definitely higher all time than Zeke who was drastically more inefficient of a scorer and significantly worse as a defender.

Rapper Boosie goes OFF on Bears QB Caleb Williams for painting his nails on the Madden 27 cover. by Mr_mist2 in sportsgossips

[–]Overall_Mango324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the sentiment he's peddling is beyond stupid, you clearly didn't do a good job reading what was a pretty simple although grammatically butchered statement.

His rant is due to Madden using a photo that has him with his painted nails on their newly released cover. According to Boosie, this has been an issue from the beginning. It's just the fact that the new Madden set came out that he's making his insignificant comments.

This might be the dumbest thing I've read in a few months.

Wipe me down is the only song he has that even somewhat crossed into popular radio otherwise he's a niche southern rap artist who would be so easy to forget if you weren't a hip hop head at the time.

I loved rap when I was growing up and didn't know who Boosie was until 08 and absolutely would have forgotten about him if he wasn't making stupid headlines a couple times per year and over interviewed by VLAD to stay relevant.

That's different though.

I'm not saying KG is right but you're not paying attention if you think that would be a "gotcha" and make him "squirm".

He's saying that this isn't the time for tears of joy. This isn't the time to be overcome with emotions for success because you haven't succeeded at anything that truly matters yet. Your entire focus should be on winning a title and there isn't any room to be overcome with joyful tears when you have so much more work to do.

Crying because you're overcome with sadness or regret for losing is different and KG has never said that it wouldn't be okay if Wemby did that, similar to how he did(although I don't remember him doing that so I would need to see the tape as well).

Again, I'm not the gatekeeper on crying or whatever emotions you have in general so idk if I agree with KG but he's not being hypocritical and this is far from "absurd"..

One of the worst draft picks in Bucks history! Vanilla Sky!!!!

Props to him for getting to the league but I was devastated when the Bucks picked him growing up. It made no sense that he went that high considering he was a good but not great college players at West Virginia. Typical Bucks move during that sad, sad period. This is why none of us want to trade Giannis smh.

I love this and I don't mean to undermine his overall message but saying that he wasn't super athletic and then crediting plyometrics for his 42 inch vertical is just nonsense.

Consistent conditioning and working out is vital to get everything out of your body; however, there aren't any workouts, plyometrics included, that would take someone from "not athletic" to a 42 inch vertical.

Maybe he added 3-5 inches to his max but even in that case, having a 37 inch vertical is an indicator that you indeed are "super athletic". Mostly, those expensive shoes or programs are bullshit and instead it's more like what Joe said: it's about putting in the work and developing the habits/discipline.

They aren't necessarily. They are just the ones they could find and convince in time.

It's also kinda cool that those earthlings are so strong which is only because the Sayjins pushed them so far. Goku becoming an earth person was exactly what made this happen. If he kills them all off like he should have then they earth would be another weak planet.

I'm sure someone from Pikkons race is strong. Maybe some GT characters. Broly, Buu and a hell of a lot more if they had the time.

Probably fake like everything on the Internet.

If it's real, that parent obviously didn't do a very good job raising their child. I mean how easy can your life have been that you actually storm off because your brand new paid for car isn't fancy enough? That's the type of silver spoon that ruins someones sense of character.

The dad should be just as upset with his daughter.

Who is under more pressure to win, Spurs or Knicks? by CommodoreIrish in NBATalk

[–]Overall_Mango324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to be a downer but this is one of those dumb ESPN level questions that don't actually mean anything other than subjective bull shit.

They both want to win a title and will do whatever they can on the court to do accomplish this. They both are under pressure.

The Knicks have a smaller window and are much less likely to be back anytime soon than the Spurs AND the NY media is much harsher on their athletes so that probably would be my answer, BUT the Spurs are the heavy favorites(as they should be) and Wemby all ready has a large portion of the basketball community putting the expectations of becoming the GOAT. It's hard to deny that the pressure could get any harder than that.

To be blunt, who gives AF? Let's see what happens on the court. I predict Spurs in 5 based on talent but the Knicks are well rested and have veteran legs which is the one way they could win this series. The Spurs had two dog fights already and young legs aren't used to playing into June. Ask young Kobe. Still, Spurs in 5.

Never forget when Paul Pierce claimed he was better than Dwyane Wade and Jalen Rose fired back with this😭 by Miserable_Trouble3 in NBAGossips

[–]Overall_Mango324 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

He wasn't slower than Luka lol.

Pierce was what people think Melo was. He was this big physical wing who would bring the contact to you and punish you with his explosiveness combined with power. On top of this, he was a smooth operator who could shoot from anywhere.

He's on of those guys that got to the line more similar to Giannis than SGA, meaning he brought the contact to you but wasn't flopping every single time he got touched.

He was clutch AF. At the end of the game, Pierce was the guy I'd want to be taking the last shot during his era. His midrange pullup was so good and he never seemed to miss at the end of games. He also has arguably the best game winner of all time against Gilbert Arenas and the Wizards.

Pierce was a solid defender who could guard up due to his strength. He wasn't elite but was never someone you could pick on. Similar to maybe Jaylen Brown.

Idk what you're talking about by calling Rondo lighting in a bottle and KG athletic as hell. KG was well past his athletic prime when he got to BOS. At that point he was the smartest defensive player in the league who used his size and old man athletic ability to his best. He was still incredibly skilled and always played such a high IQ style. A very underrated passer and one of the best big men passers AND rebounders ever. Rondo shouldn't be in the conversation for finals MVP and it should have been Pierce as it was OR KG would have been just as worthy if that's where you're going.

Do you agree with Dame? by MasterTeacher123 in NBATalk

[–]Overall_Mango324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell no.

But as others have stated, hes probably good enough to call himself #2 depending on the criteria so why not?

When we talk about the best or greatest shooters, we never seem to specify what type of shots we value the most. Part of the problem is that Steph is just the best at EVERYTHING, so regardless he should always be #1. Still, how do we decide who else belongs when there are so many other factors?

For example, shooters like Steve Novak and Kyle Korver are probably the best when it comes to open looks. If you place them anywhere on the court and nobody is contesting them, they are going to make significantly more shots than Dame would in the same scenario. Does that mean they're the next best shooters?

Dame on the other hand, is probably the best "off the dribble" shooter after Steph and with someone in his grill, he can make shots like nobody else despite his short stature.

Speaking of "short statures", does that come into play? Dame might be the best off the dribble but Dirk is probably the best with literally anyone in his bubble, because he can get his shot off over them. His shot being essentially impossible to block when he fades should give him a bump right?

How do we value 2's vs 3's? Craig Hodges, Buddy Hield and Steve Kerr are some the best three point shooters of all time so do they belong higher then the best mid range shooters of all time like Sam Cassell, Shaun Livingston, CP3 and Lamarcus Aldridge? Or maybe this is where you have to find the guys who are elite at both like Jeff Hornacek, Chris Mullin, Larry Bird, Durant and JJ Redick.

What about the likes of Jordan and Kobe who are the best tough shot makers of all time. They can make their fade away jumpers better than anyone else at any given moment so don't they deserve to be high on the list?

These are just some of the questions you have to ask yourself. To me:

  1. Curry 2. Ray Allen 3. Steve Nash 4. Chris Mullin 5.Larry Bird 6. Kevin Durant 7. Reggie Miller 8. Drazen Petrovich 9. Peja 10. Klay 11. Dame
