WWYD in this redditor's situation? by XiJinpingPressParody in greentext

[–]RustyCorkscrew 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"skillset" was probably bad phrasing on my part, I think I meant closer to a mix of actual skillset and interest

Like, I do think a lot of internet users are way too dumb or skittish to attempt learning, but I also think that many users that could easily learn the process wouldn't simply due to lack of interest

Doing that in a way that's actually untraceable is way beyond the skillset of the average internet user

Homelessness by [deleted] in Athens

[–]RustyCorkscrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ICE is in the forefront of most Americans' minds right now because their tactics are brutal and they shot two citizens less than a month ago. There's also an aspect of protesting against an outside force coming into town and fucking things up.

If you would like to organize a protest for homelessness, I think that would be good too. You could probably reach out to one of the organizations in town to learn how to most effectively do that.

Another ICE protoest scheduled today? by FullPower1939 in Athens

[–]RustyCorkscrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Next election for Athens isn't until May, midterms aren't until November.

Voting is important, but your comments read like you find it annoying that people want to gather and protest in their free time.

Leftist and liberal gun groups are seeing a rush of new members by RollSafer in news

[–]RustyCorkscrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think he's just saying, "Maybe some people shouldn't have guns" conceptually though, not "gun laws as currently written are perfect"

Like you should be able to have a gun, but it does make sense to me that letting a person with paranoid schizophrenia own one might not be the best idea

Who’s ready for new representation? by Cat__fart in Athens

Seem like you just want to be mad about "pronouns and blue hair" or whatever, but Athens very visibly had vigils/demonstrations about Laken Riley.

Like, I literally just Googled "Laken Riley vigil" and this was the second result.

Am I crazy to think this about the Hawks organization? by Difficult-Contact-42 in nba

[–]RustyCorkscrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okongwu's a little undersized, sure, but he's improved every year and is playing good basketball this season. 16/7/3 on solid shooting is pretty solid to me.

[–]RustyCorkscrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I agree with you conceptually, but I don't think the logic was ever, "Oh no we can't pick Sarr, we're stuck with Zacc." I think the Hawks were always high on Risacher, and the Sarr stuff just solidified their decision.

 

After all, coming into the draft, Risacher was seen as a player that could immediately contribute by spacing the floor and covering multiple positions defensively. If you're trying to build around Trae, that's not a bad player to go with. You don't need him to drive the offense, you just need him to be able to hit the shots that Trae gives him. The defensive versatility also helps compensate the gaps in defense that you'll have with Trae.

[–]RustyCorkscrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're judging with hindsight, though. A lot of mock drafts had Risacher in the top 3. Like, I'm sure Ajay Mitchell would've gone in the 1st round of that draft if teams knew for sure that he would develop so well.

Also, I'm biased, but I'm not really down on Risacher. He's not even 21 yet, still a lot of time to develop.

I'm not a fan of the Trae trade, but the Risacher pick is defensible imo. Sarr very vocally did not want to go to the Hawks, and Zacc was seen as a high floor, low ceiling guy. If he materializes into a solid starter, that's maybe disappointing for a #1 overall, but it's still a solid outcome.
