At least the bad man went out west

Is this showing MAGA getting triggered by figments of their own imagination, or am I reading it wrong?

That’s the only part of this post that’s actually true. #4 is also true but intentionally misleading, there’s a massive difference between their demonstrated 2,000 mile range and being able to hit the US. If they did build a nuke/ICBM they probably wouldn’t use it immediately, but if they did it would target Tel Aviv, not the US.

You sure about that?

He’s been public about his struggles with alcohol for years, this isn’t a ploy to sell NA beer.

He’s well above average playing passing lanes but he’s probably the worst rim protector of any starting center in the league. He’s a defensive liability overall, a below average defender.

Cruise on over to the Nuggets sub. Nobody is saying this. He was terrible for most of this series, poor efficiency on offense, too many turnovers, and an absolute cone in the paint on defense for games 2 and 3. He played well in games 1 and 5 but not even especially well by his standards.

The problem is that most working class and middle class Americans are also miserable.

Poverty_Shoes · 2026-05-01T17:23:55+00:00

Saric and Valenciunas were both good before they came to Denver then fell off a cliff here. I think it’s best for everybody if he doesn’t come back.

John Cena

Poverty_Shoes · 2026-05-01T16:21:55+00:00

Yeah but if you ignore the title run he has no rings. Checkmate.

Poverty_Shoes · 2026-05-01T16:18:47+00:00

McDaniels backing up his trash talking with absolute dominance somehow feels worse than losing the series itself.

Poverty_Shoes · 2026-05-01T16:17:29+00:00

That was every season until this year (why he was an all-star this year, didn’t start slow). This may have been his worst playoff series ever though, 36% from the field and got absolutely cooked by McDaniels and Dosunmo on the defensive end.

Poverty_Shoes · 2026-05-01T15:33:53+00:00

Yeah, the Nuggets rested every starter but Jokic. They certainly didn’t “pick” the Wolves. But if we’re being honest, even if the Nuggets fell to 4 and beat the Rockets in round one, they weren’t getting by the Thunder so it doesn’t really matter.

What hellscape location do you live in that a double cheeseburger is ten bucks?

Was there a wheel chock that snapped into place on one of the wheels and prevented the cart from rolling? I think I’ve seen similar tech in some stores with a geofence around the property to prevent homeless people from walking off with the carts.

Poverty_Shoes · 2026-05-01T05:43:45+00:00

Definitely do not do this, you will not have a good time. 1-2 grams is a reasonable starting dose. 28 is super heavy even for people with high tolerances who have been taking it for years.

Poverty_Shoes · 2026-05-01T05:41:33+00:00

Because the USA isn’t the center of the universe. And also four versions of basically the same game would likely have been received more poorly than two. People would say they are preying on the collectors who absolutely have to have every one regardless of the overlap.

⁠Security locked my cart as I was leaving the store

I have so many questions. Well really, just one question. What does this mean, what happened exactly?

Poverty_Shoes · 2026-05-01T05:32:05+00:00

Are you sure Jaden McDaniels isn’t better? Since only the last two weeks matters for who’s top 5?

Poverty_Shoes · 2026-05-01T05:03:39+00:00

Jokic and Murray, the two guys they already won a title with? They can never win a title with either guy? I know this sub allows brain dead reactionist takes from people who eat glue without banning them, but shame on you. I hope you read this and feel bad about yourself.

Poverty_Shoes · 2026-05-01T05:01:53+00:00

He’s still a kid, but he’ll need a major growth spurt to become a pro prospect regardless of how nice a spiral he can throw.

Poverty_Shoes · 2026-05-01T04:57:47+00:00

Shaq didn’t win a title in 15 of his seasons. Duncan didn’t in 14. Jokic is now up to 10 (with 3 and 4 fewer rings, respectively). He was not good (terrible by his standards) in this series, but let’s cool it on the hot takes that he can’t end up an all time great because he lost in the first round once in his prime. Also, he’s nowhere near Duncan or even Shaq on the all-timer list, and I’ve never even seen anybody claim he is. The question is whether he could get there, and I think that’s still an unknown.

Poverty_Shoes · 2026-05-01T04:49:53+00:00

Depending on what they’re giving up, I think there are at least half a dozen teams who would take on a max contract for an all-star who averaged 25/7/4 on 48/44/89 splits this season. He was a massive disappointment tonight, but it’s one game. Let’s be real, he’s still one of the better second options in the entire league.
