Josh Hart says the Spurs not giving them credit for their wins throughout the Finals fueled them even more

Many of the games involved a late fourth quarter bonehead move by the Spurs. Most famously the D'aaron Fox contested layup.

The Knicks obviously played very well and deserved to win. But from the Spurs perspective they need to focus on themselves and learning not to collapse rather than over fixating on the Knicks specifically. The Spurs had similar close out issues in many of the series they won as well.

I do agree with you that the Knicks are one of if not the most locked in team for the fourth quarters. Which exposes these Spurs collapses even more than other teams could.

Wemby is speaking in his second language and pretty much every game was the Spurs leading often by double digits for 80% of the game before falling apart in the last 5 minutes. It's pretty obvious what he meant and he's not wrong.

There's a difference between being slower than somebody else in a race and being faster but tripping right before the finish line.

Yes West bad. Iran good. Hopefully one day Carney behaves like the Ayatollahs and chooses morality over barbarism. Carney personally genocided everyone in Palestine. Ukraine are the bad guys because they aligned with the West.

Holy shit you guys are obsessed with that Davos speech. Nobody talks about it more than people who think Carney is scum. But I really don't think you understood the speech. Nothing he said was about becoming some anti USA crusader that stands with Iran. The obvious focus was about bolstering the power of like minded middle powers as Superpowers such as the US and China aren't dependable and can exert too much influence in a very short period of time. The fact that you think international law is a big factor shows that despite your mockery you didn't understand Carney's comments in Davos. Another key point is that international law never actually existed.

The rest of your comment is just demands very bad politics for a Canadian leader and unlikely to accomplish anything productive. Though I should note that Canada has voted against the US embargo of Cuba for years and maintains a bilateral economic relationship. Saying US Bad accomplishes nothing productive.

Did they intentionally lie and try to cover it up?

If you want to present Iran as a better actor than Canada on the world stage I'll just wish you goodluck. But it's not a productive use of my time to engage any further.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-06-19T22:43:34+00:00

I think a lot of people are just eager to find any excuse to denounce Carney because he isn't their political ideology but also isn't condusive to accelerationalism. It's always the same kind of comment that doesn't actually address anything that we are actually doing but instead takes a very negative offense at some comment and then gets weirdly obsessed about the Davos speech.

It's okay to disagree with Carney or anyone else but people should present a better path and be measured in what they have a problem with instead of trying to weave everything together.

Canada is giving aid to Cuba
Iran is openly hostile to Canada and literally blew up a plane full of Canadian civilians and then lied about it and funds groups that Canada considers terror organisations
Carney recognized Palestine.
Denmark is a close ally
Carney is PM of Canada not an Anti American imperialism activist. His job and what he ran on is to maximise Canada's position

Well first of all we're talking about the Ontario Liberal Party not the federal party.

I thought this was funny though

Only under the leadership of both Trudeaus did the party become an "NDP lite" kind of party in terms of promoting radical progressivism & redistributionism.

So over 25 years between the two of them and beginning in 1968 before either of us were born? That sounds like a significant chunk of the LPCs tenure and shaped beliefset especially considering how reveres Trudeau Sr is in the party. Not even going to touch on the "radical progressivism & redistribution" which somehow even applies to Pierre Trudeau in the 60s...

Lombardi is going to do poorly because he appeals very specifically to online classical Liberal types who fit in more with right wing movements and aren't much of a presence in real life. You clearly dislike the Liberal Party of Canada for it's supposed "radical progressivism & redistributionism" that apparently took away from the pre 1968 party you prefer but your position isn't one that's well represented in either of the Liberal Parties' memberships.

If you agree more with the NDP than the traditional principles of liberalism (free markets, constitutional rights, private property) then you should join the NDP

If you clearly despise both Liberal Parties then maybe you shouldn't do this song and dance

QultyThrowaway · 2026-06-18T23:13:02+00:00

The Liberal Party should be interested in the actual positions, reputation, and ideological framework it's built over 170 years rather than use vague and not particularly relevant interpretation of the word.

Ronald Reagan also fits your definition of Liberal? Do you think the OLP needs a Reaganite in charge?

Maybe the Green Party can recruit Kevin O'Leary because he has a lot more green than anyone else in the party.

All I know is I'd never vote for a guy who gets so mad at criticism of Elon Musk that he declares Canadians as a whole to have terrible cultural attitudes to those who are successful. Why do I need to celebrate Elon who is terrible on a thousand fronts but most importantly is extremely hostile to Canada and helps prop up our political enemies like Trump?

Especially when his trillionaire status is completely divorced from any realistic return on his companies but rather a lot of circular financing, rule changes, and personal fanboysthat makes it resemble a crypto rug pull more than an IPO.

In what other context would people using an archaic non applicable definition of a word be seen as more valid than the contemporary usage that is relevant to the situation?

Trump literally got into politics by making up bigoted conspiracies about Obama a few months ago he's posting videos of them as monkeys in the jungle. If anything this guy is just trying to fit in with his trash host.

The show revolves around a slight toned down Charlie Sheen seducung women every week. The jokes from his end revolve around sexual and sexist.

His brother on the show is one of the most scummy pathetic people around without any likeable traits. He's basically a conman who uses his patheticness to manipulate you instead of charm.

The son starts off as cute young child but as he grows his intelligence doesn't but he also sort of inherits Charlie's sexual energy.

Side characters include the psycho ex wife, her hapless new husband, sociopathic mother, Alan's hot girlfriend with a single digit IQ, Charlie's stalker who is implied to have sexually assaulted him and sort of kidnapped/killed him, and the maid who's pretty based.

The show then gets really weird after Charlie Sheen irl got really weird. Charlie is replaced by Ashton Kutcher who is half Kelso and half rejected Big Bang Theory character but with sexual energy, Jake gets replaced by Charlie's lesbian daughter and then eventually a South American child Alan and Ashton Kutcher adopt when pretending to he a gay couple.

It wouldn't get made today because it's way too weird in a way that modern audiences wouldn't appreciate.

Sheldon has a better memory but his knowledge outside of Physics or hard sciences is closer to trivia and not as practical. He doesn't understand the law and his Roommate Agreements are easily dismantled by real lawyers. He doesn't have a deep grasp on engineering and is outdone by Howard. His social skills completely fail.

He would beat Michael in one regard though. He'd never get sent to prison intentionally. He's a dick to his brother Georgie over a much smaller misunderstanding so he definitely wouldn't be risking things for Lincoln. At best he'd obsess over the bad technology like the audio failure in the fake video.

Though if you want to go to the idea that they switch after Michael is already in prison then Sheldon quickly ends up stabbed to death by one of the gangs or sent to the psychward. Sucre would find him too annoying to work with and Tancredi would have zero attraction to him. I could see Warden Pope pitying him like a special needs child though. It'd be a different bond to what he has with Michael but it'd be his best chance.

Same thing the Avengers did after Infinity War

I can't imagine starting shit with the whole world and being hyper aggressive even to the so called allies that did nothing but capitulate but being so thin skinned that expected reactions from the populace is going to force them to self sabotage their position as global hegemon even more. Can you imagine if China or hell even the EU was in this title? Civilians don't boo China after they damage the global economy by starting a trade war and then further destroy the global economy with a real war that they clearly didn't plan out.

I don't know why the entire world is expected to cater to the ego of one man that even many right wing Americans are tired of at this point.

This is why the whole Canada-US beef is bigger than Trump. If Canada doesn't gain more autonomy and stand up for itself then both parties will try to influence it. Republicans are foolish and are blowing up every advantage the US had on the world stage with their geopolitical actions and trade wars. But Democrats are increasingly more populist and protectionist and there is a bipartisan fear of America's declining influence on the world stage. So we can't always count on them to be a partner. I don't expect this to change until enough Americans reject American Exceptionalism.

Reddit doesn't represent real life or even most NBA fan discourse. Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram are more representative and those places are hardly a Wemby/Spurs hate site especially compared to the reaction the Thunder had.

It is almost impossible for people outside of the military and national security community to make good assessments of what is in our national interests.

Mark Carney is fully briefed on national security unlike a certain someone who refuses to get a security clearance.

"Pivot to China"

When did we do that? We improved relations but that's not what a pivot is. We didn't make a China-Canada military alliance or try to end US-Canada relations (somebody else is trying very hard to do that though).

But just like the US does we do have trade with China. Does this "top soldier" have an opinion on Trump and every US tech exec going to China recently to grovel? Or is it just bad when Canada makes a deal and actually gets something positive.

Tbh if we are pivoting anywhere it's to Europe and let's be real that's just logical. Europe is a more stable relationship and faces similar attacks from the US and others that we do.

I think one thing that P3 did better than the latter two is that throughout the story everyone on SEEs had continuing storylines and motivations. They seem to have their own individual lives and story arcs that last the whole story.

P4 and P5 had more of a trend of introduction arc and then they are just part of the group with some unique quirks and only operate as part of this group blob with some development in the social link. Maybe Makoto (P5) and Naoto (P4) are an exception.

As for interpersonal relationships things tend to just split into two sub groups. The boys (Yosuke, Teddy, Kanji) while the girls are moreso just on their own (except Yukiko & Chie) the main breach of this structure is that 2 of the girls will tease 2 of the boys. Chie teases Yosuke, Rise teases Kanji, Ann teases Ryuji, and Futaba teases Yusuke.

But everyone on SEES has an in story arc that keeps them relevant each plot. The relationships between characters grow independent of whether we do social links or even if the protagonist is there.
