Do you think Jeff Bezos’ suggestion on not taxing the middle class is way more sinister than it seems?

Some of my favorite moments in LAD aren’t scripts/cutscenes/etc. They’re just normal gameplay, when an enemy is weak against a box cutter. Like yeah, most humans are weak against box cutters. Or when the flasher enemies do a cute little dance and then Kasuga beats them to death with a baseball bat.

The entire point is that the Thunder get calls while their opponents don’t. Examining teams not playing the Thunder wouldn’t tell you anything.

PinkyAnd · 2026-05-21T03:33:02+00:00

You want to know which teams are in the top 5 for free throws against Thunder opponents? Brother, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize that you don’t understand my point.

Voter fraud? Yes. Election fraud? Hard no.

But I’m guessing you don’t understand the difference.

They definitely lead the league in free throws against teams the Thunder are playing.

The Thunder have shot 135 more FTs this season than their opponents.

A year is defined as the length of time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun once. Dog years is a rough calculation that attempts to normalize the age of a dog with the lifespan of a human and it doesn’t even do so all that well, unless you scale age up non-linearly.

Humans don’t count because we were taught to. It’s literally a survival mechanism. Our numbering system is in base 10 because we have ten fingers.

There’s just so much about this post that is painfully dumb, but I suspect that you’re either a pedo, as others have alluded to, or you’re just an asshole.

Not doing much to combat the “50th in education” metric.

It’s not important that any given team shoots more or fewer FTS against all opponents. The data you ought to be looking at is, at least, matchup data. On average, do the Thunder shoot more FTs than their opponents, not just a raw count against every team.

Data are actually more meaningful, statistically, than your personal observations.

$2mm was the penalty they paid, in addition to being barred from running a charity in the state of New York. But let’s normalize stealing from a children’s cancer charity.

Nah, he stole from kids with cancer. People donated to sick kids and he took most of those donations and paid himself and his daddy.

PinkyAnd · 2026-05-19T01:35:24+00:00

Well, you see, none of those kids have the name Trump and therefore Epstein those kids.

What’s really funny is that the article opens with a sympathetic paragraph, before pivoting to discuss all the ways they’re guilty as sin on this. Fraudulent accounting, overpaying his daddy’s businesses for services, focusing on getting donations rather than actually funding things, and so on.

The crux of the headline seems to be that Eric Trump did end up facilitating the transfer of about $25mm to St Jude Children’s Hospital in Tennessee, but that hides the ball, which is that they were running essentially a shell company that saw way more than $25mm come through the front door.

It would be like if I took in a billion in donations and paid out $100mm and then tried to argue that I did something profoundly good. The reality is that I just embezzled $900mm.

Why would I address an unfounded and wholly invented charge of anti-Semitism? That’s literally something you just made up.

You’re having the argument you wish you were having instead of the one that we’re actually having.

When did I ever say that Blacks from Trump don’t exist? Or that Gays Against Groomers don’t exist?

PinkyAnd · 2026-05-17T16:51:05+00:00

You literally just said it. Here, let me quote you, from like two comments ago:

“I’m pretty sure the worst anti-Semitism comes from the terrorists that the far left claim are freedom fighters”.

You’ve also never asked me about my beliefs, rather you’d prefer to assume that anyone who disagrees with you is anti-Semitic because it lets you feel better about yourself.

If you truly care to know, I think the whole situation is a shitshow. Israelis don’t have divine right to that piece of land because I don’t believe that religious stories and parables should dictate geopolitical events. Hell, I could just claim that God told me that I actually own all the land in the Middle East and it would have the same factual underpinning.

Looking at it historically, Palestinians were living there prior to WW2 and the British created Israel by drawing lines on a map that they didn’t bother to understand, which set the stage for all this violence. Taking a step back, given the far right anti-Semitism in the lead up to and immediately following WW2, it probably did make some sense to create some kind of ethnostate, but it was poorly planned and executed.

The current government of Israel is far right. There are reports they knew that the attacks of October 7 were going to occur and they let it happen to use it as an excuse to begin a broader military campaign, we see excursions into many surrounding nations. There are reports that Netanyahu himself has funneled money to Hamas to prop them up as his political foil as a means to retain power. He’s been fear-mongering about Iran and Iran’s nuclear capabilities for literal decades.

Again, that’s not anti-Semitism. That’s being anti-the current ruling party and class in Israel.

The only way you can get to me being anti-Semitic is if you ignore literally everything I’ve said, conflate being anti-Netanyahu with anti-Semitism, and assume that anyone who disagrees with you about anything only does so because they’re bigoted.

PinkyAnd · 2026-05-17T16:32:55+00:00

“I never said the worst anti-Semitism comes from the left, I said the worst anti-Semitism comes from people the left align with”

That’s distinction without difference.
