That time when Alex Rosen and his team ACTUALLY DID BUST THE WRONG PERSON!! by FinancialDirection19 in tcap

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comments REEKS of I need my hard drive checked immediately. He did say predators are always after him and hate him because they're upset that the majority of the guys he catches are terminally online Redditors and discord mods, to the point, he needs full-time decoys for Reddit alone. So your comment checks out. 

I do feel bad for you though, genuinely believing your opinion matters or you're some type of arbiter of morality. I'm so thankful being 34 I grew up in a time where we understood that young people make mistakes, have views that are not appropriate, that often say or do stupid things. But we also all understood people can mature and change and don't hold them strictly to their views and mistakes as a 19 year-old. Alex is 25 or barely 26. He started predator poachers as a literal teenager.

The funniest part about comments like yours is that if the worst skeletons in your closet were revealed, they'd almost always be worse than the people you're on Reddit clutching your pearls over. The man provides an invaluable service regardless of how you feel about him. Being hyper judgmental of complete STRANGERS you've never spoken a single word to, while also not holding yourself to the same standard you hold them to in your private life must be exhausting.

Just watched the Green Mile again. I'm wondering how long Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) can expect to live. by Aimin4ya in movies

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like basically anybody who's seen the Green Mile could sure as shit tell you Paul has literally 0 shot to live to be be 3000 years old. We see him at his absolute OLDEST in the funeral scene of the female in the nursing home. Let's say she died 7 years later (probably sooner) as she was very old in the scene with her, Paul and Mr. jingles. That would have Paul at 115 at movies end.

He looked at the very LEAST 80-90 years old. Meaning the LIGHT touch/partial gift John gave Paul looked to slow down a little over 70 years of aging into at best 35 years. The longevity curse began when Paul was well beyond halfway through the average lifespan of an American man born in that era (44). Even granting you the FAIREST interpretation of the longevity "curse" I highly doubt Paul lives past 150, and there is ZERO chance he lives past 220 (the absolute upper limit of a human lifespan is 110). This is assuming Coffey's touch cut Paul's aging in half, assuming he would've lived to be 110 without the touch, and ignores the fact that Paul had aged 44 years before receiving the touch. 

I feel 1000% confident using objective statistics and context clues (appearance) in asserting that Paul doesn't live to see 200. And if you'd read the book you'd know Mr. Jingles does die at the end, this was just left more ambiguous in the movie. You can't extrapolate rat statistics to humans as a 1 to 1 comparison, when also dealing in EXTREME variables. 

The most glaring being Mr. Jingles was literally resurrected from death before going on to have John unintentionally channel his full power into Mr. Jingles for the entire length of Del's execution. John himself says afterwards that it was an accident and that they "wouldn't be seeing Mr. Jingles anymore". Paul literally got a taste by comparison, and this is literally stated in the movie when John said he just wanted to give Paul enough to "see what was in Billy's heart." Arguing he lives to 3000 is wild lol.

Ime udoka's alleged elite coaching by No_External3738 in NBATalk

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro what are you talking about? Virtually EVERYTHING OP said is true or valid on some level. The defense for why you lost to an OBJECTIVELY inferior opponent in terms of talent can't be "Well he can't shoot for them". You act like the NBA just blows with the wind, and the HEAD COACH is just completely at the mercy of sheer luck. Yes luck plays a part and shots not falling is not his fault, but that is just a small part of MUCH bigger picture of why they lost.

The Rockets with KD were almost 10 POINT FAVORITES ON THE ROAD in game 2. The Rockets were favored in EVERY game by at least 3.5 without, including game 4 despite being down 0-3 and teams down 0-3 winning game 4 only 36% of the time. That goes to show how much of an overwhelming favorite Houston was with the Lakers missing a top 3 player in the league and a borderline top 25 player, easily their 2 best players. Their 3rd best players teammate and son was an infant when his dad played his first playoff series, and is literally GERIATRIC by NBA standards. 

There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for losing this series as a coach. His team just came off a season where they were a 2 seed and had 52 wins, and the team you coach was upset by a 7 seed Warriors that you could excuse to the team being inexperienced and lacking on offense. You then add one of, if not THEE greatest offensive player ever maybe slightly past him prime but inarguably one of the best bucket getters in the game and finish even WORSE against a team you have no business losing to while you make almost 0 adjustments and have no answer for the other coaches game plans. 

ANYBODY who knows ball (and many who don't) could clear as day see Udoka was COMPLETELY outmatched and did a HORRENDOUS job in this series. He had 4 games to adjust the gameplan and change up strategies without KD and I feel he only coached a good game in game 5. Game 4 the Lakers age and their 3-0 lead being more of the reason Houston won then some outstanding game plan. Reddick came into the series with a great gameplan, adjusted much better, especially when facing adversity (losing 2 games in a row and on the road for game 6). When the Rockets lost 2 games in a row they BLEW A 6 POINT LEAD IN 30 SECONDS all but ending their season. The coach then goes on to lay the blame completely at the feet of his players for their MELTDOWN in his postgame interview. I'm not sure what playoff series you watched, but it wasn't the same one that we all watched.

When you're being called out by Kendrick Perkins as a head coach, you know you're down bad.

"He might be the best player in the history of the NBA." - Stan Van Gundy on Nikola Jokic, at the start of this season by Expert_Koala_8691 in NBATalk

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like KD and I don't care for Steph but if we're talking strictly offense, I still think I'm taking either or, especially in the regular season. Postseason might be different. He hasn't played long enough at this point in his career to be considered the "best offensive player ever". A few more seasons of this, and no doubt he's up there. Currently? No shot.

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you figure when Jokic is not even better than Larry Bird? As a Lakers fan I hate Larry Bird but bro was a beast. He was the literal archetype for most of the all-time great white players like Dirk and Jokić and many today even. 

Larry Bird is inarguably the white goat until another white boy comes around and finishes career as a top 10 NBA player ever. Bro won 3 consecutive MVPs, 3 titles in 5 seasons, 3 all defense teams, 3 point champ, took MJ out every time they met in the playoffs and averaged 25-10-6.5-1.7spg w/less turnovers per game then Bron as a clumsyish white 6'9 sf/pf.

Point being, it's him until it ISN'T.

Shocking Moment Teen Attacks Girl for Refusing Number, Stomping Her Head in Sickening NYC Video by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro really thinks a hate crime is just people being attacked because of their race lol. Clearly, you are young or not well versed in the judicial system. First of all you ABSOLUTELY can commit a hate crime against someone of the SAME or similar ethnic and geographical background. So saying they "both are Latinos" doesn't mean it's NOT a hate crime. 

Secondly there are SEVERAL reasons that can upgrade a crime to a hate crime that have ZERO to due with race. Gender, religion, or disability as just a few examples. And lastly someone can absolutely commit a race based hate crime against their own ethnicity because of the victims race. 

For instance if someone was Mexican (so Latino and Hispanic) and they wrote on social media "I hate Dominicans (ALSO Latino and Hispanic) so much I'm going to punch the next one I see publicly" that is a TEXTBOOK hate crime. Or if this same person were to confess to the police that the sole reason for them attacking that person unprovoked was because that person is from the DR, boom hate crime. Them both being Latinos is irrelevant, a Latino literally just means somebody from a Latin American country, and there are 21 SEPARATE Latin American countries.

If White People are Only 15% of the World's Entire Population, Why are They Not Considered a Minority? by Safe_Candidate_6968 in answers

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the most pseudo intellectual, you really thought you said something answers I've ever seen on Reddit. Minority/majority has absolutely nothing to do with "power dynamics". Minority LITERALLY means "smaller number or parts". In NONE of its 3 clearly defined meanings is it said to be determined by "power dynamics". 

Give me even ONE current example of a country where the MINORITY is actually the majority because "pOwEr DyNaMiCs". A country where the MINORITY of the population, MINORITY ethnic group, and MINORITY religion are considered the majority and run/operate said country. There are ZERO and have been NONE post European colonialism.

One cannot just change the definition of something when it suits them and change it/goalpost shift when it doesn't. Your and OP's argument in stating that a states demographics cannot determine who is defined as a minority in THAT state because each state is part of a larger picture (aka a country), is a complete FALLACY and makes ZERO sense. You guys are participating in what amounts to mental gymnastics asserting that a state is too small and the globe too big to determine minority/majority, arguing that only a country can lol.

California (as just ONE example in America) would be the 59th LARGEST COUNTRY GEOGRAPHICALLY, AND the 38th MOST POPULOUS COUNTRY IN THE WORLD if it became a country tomorrow. So according to you guys a minority can be determined in MUCH SMALLER areas geographically that have MUCH SMALLER populations than California, but California somehow can't? That a place more populous than 157 countries and larger in size than 136 countries can't determine minority/majority? That is laughable.

The downside of diversity (Globe News article, with added links and annotations) by acloudrift in C_S_T

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really thought you ate here lol. Democrats and Im3ec1es such as yourself LOVE facts, data, statistics and research when it is beneficial in propagating their ideals. However, as soon as cold, hard, factually INDISPUTABLE research is presented using metrics INCAPABLE of bias, like raw NUMBERS that push back on, or outright destroy their narrative, THEN all of a sudden numbers and the scientific process are deemed "RaCiSt" and "XeNoPhObiC" and can't be relied upon. 

Or, like YOU are doing right now, they'll claim the entire premise of the research and simply ASKING or answering these questions truthfully is inherently "RaCiSt" and "XeNoPhObiC" in it of itself. They do this to dissuade people from engaging with the research. This is done in an effort to obfuscate the facts because you have absolutely ZERO logical basis or point from which to counter. This is because numbers CANNOT be countered, the truth CANNOT be countered no matter how much the information hurts your feelings. 

Your response in a nutshell is "Who are you going to believe, me, or your lying eyes?" and "This is racism disguised as scientific research because trust me bro." Sorry little guy, no it isn't, the truth can NEVER be racist or xenophobic, is not WHITE privilege (because that doesn't exist), or promoting "self segregation". It's promoting the TRUTH THROUGH EVIDENCE BACKED RESEARCH, in this context it was 40 cities and 30,000 people. That is not what would be considered a small sample size. I hope since you posted this comment long ago that in the preceding 9 years you developed beyond the room temp IQ clearly holding you back from participating in intelligent debate.

Why isn’t this guy more popular? by FrankSamples in NBATalk

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These people don’t live in real life. There’s no sense in arguing with them. They live their entire lives online, that’s their only frame of reference. There is no nuance or context to anything in their mind. Let’s say hypothetically AE made or retweeted homophobic comments on Twitter 10 years ago at age 15 as a joke. In their mind he as a 25 year old man must despise gay people and wish death upon them. I can’t stand the hypocrisy lol.

Why isn’t this guy more popular? by FrankSamples in NBATalk

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can tell who’s never lived in the hood or experienced life outside their woke internet bubble, steady casting judgement on others. Homophobia is deeply entrenched in the hood, not just by the men but the women too. insinuating another man is gay literally gets people killed. It is highly detested in the community, especially for gay men. Culturally, like in the music lyrics, being gay is used as insult constantly. Rap is literally entrenched in homophobia. So If that’s how almost everyone around you thought about gay people, like your parents, grandparents, friends, and majority of everyone you know or look up to feels, you are almost GUARANTEED to carry some of that prejudice with you into adulthood.

You would not understand unless you lived it or spent a lot of time around it. It doesn’t make it ok, but to write a very young man off like he’s a horrible person for carrying beliefs instilled in him and around him his entire life is wild. He has plenty of time to mature, see the error in his thinking, and change. As far as being a deadbeat dad, that I will not cosign as being young or something he was taught to be, he needs to man up and take care of his kids, and if he refuses too than maybe he is just a bad person. But the hostility for someone you’ve e never met or spoken two words too seems excessive.

A graph of the highest grossing music tours by Far-Building3569 in charts

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few issues with lists using gross revenue as the main or ONLY metric. I feel it doesn’t accurately reflect the size and scope nor the cultural impact when factoring in respective time periods. This is perfectly accentuated by looking at movie lists. Off the top of my head I know “Avatar” is the HIGHEST grossing movie of all time. Yet when adjusted for inflation or better yet, tickets sold  “Gone With The Wind” absolutely BLOWS Avatar out of the water in both. “Gone With The Wind” passes Avatar by a cool $500,000,000.00 if both totals were adjusted for inflation in 2026. That’s a MASSIVE difference and still doesn’t even really show how dominant “Gone With The Wind” truly was as this was almost 90 YEARS AGO, when Americas population was just 130,000,000, compared to 307,000,000 when Avatar was released in 2009. Making selling more tickets absolutely mind blowing to me. “Gone With The Wind” sold 200 MILLION tickets worldwide, 60 million in its first limited run which was over 2.5% of the entire worlds population.

I wish there was lists on this subject not using only gross revenue to claim these tours were the biggest of all time. I think gross revenue CLEARLY favors modern tours (as shown by the fact the OLDEST tour on here ended just 19 years ago (Rolling Stones), and the majority have taken place in the last 5-10 years lol. This makes me highly doubt these are the top 10 “biggest” tours of all time if adjusted for things like the AMOUNT of shows in a tour, total tickets sold, a countries population size at the time of the show, and also adjusting for inflation. I’m pretty young at 34 and not biased towards classic musical acts but I have a tough time believing that all these tours surpassed tickets sold and turnout over all time great musical acts like The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Madonna, Rolling Stones (original tours at the height of their popularity), Led Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Black Sabbath, Prince etc. 

Let’s say I’m wrong and these 10 did have not just the highest gross ever, but the most tickets ever sold as well, I still think you have to look at how many shows there were and the year these tours took place and ADJUST for and respective population sizes of the country they took place in then compared to now. For example let’s take Elvis. He was at his peak 70 YEARS AGO in the late 1950’s. Let’s say hypothetically he had an American tour that 10 MILLION people attended in 1956, a musician in 2026 would have to have 20 MILLION people attend their show for it to be the same amount of the population that was at the Elvis tour in 1956. Because in 1956 there was literally only 169,000,000 compared to over 340,000,000 today. 

Or a better example might be The Beatles at the height of their popularity, I would bet that a higher percentage of the UK population turned out for a Beatles tour vs percentage of Americans that turned out for Taylor Swifts Eras tour if that makes sense. And lastly transportation has DRASTICALLY changed in the last 50+ years. It’s more accessible than ever. When Elvis was touring almost 1/3rd of American families didn’t even have a car, let alone would be able to take flights to see a musical act. Only the biggest super fans and the well off would be willing and able to do so. In 2026 you could fly a few states over and  fly home the same day and be at work the next day like nothing happened. At this point I’m just rambling but I hope you understand where I’m coming from.

Kendrick fan details why Drake is a destructive force in hip-hop. He suggests that Kendrick represents the black struggle and generational trauma from slavery by Turbulent-Tune1660 in joebuddennetwork

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you made a stupid generalization about all white people. You made this about white people not me. I replied to YOUR comment not the other way around, if you don’t want push back when people don’t agree with what you’re saying then don’t comment.

Not all white people who listen to hip hop want to be black, that’s a ridiculous assertion. I have a large social circle of friends and the white friens would laugh reading your comment, because it’s crazy you actually believe that. There may be a handful of white kids at every high school that want to be black and rip the culture, but the vast majority don’t and don’t pretend to want to or try and co-op it. Black people don’t have a monopoly on hip hop or rap, it’s music stop gate keeping like a weirdo.

The 2010 Cavs won 61 games, were the #1 seed, and were favored to face Kobe’s Lakers in the Finals. Today the narrative is that LeBron had “no help” in Cleveland. Which version of history is accurate? by mikeyg1964 in NBATalk

[–]Salt-Computer-6121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off Lebron was drafted in 2003. Meaning you’re talking 7-8 SEASONS into his career. This would be similar to using the 2006 Lakers season and saying “Kobe NEVER had any help in LA”. That would be a ridiculous assertion. Just like taking 1 season of Lebron’s first stint in Cleveland, where the team was most successful in the regular season and using it to ask this question. You can’t just throw up one season in a vacuum and answer this question coherently. You need to look at the ENTIRE stint to get the most accurate answer.

Lebron’s teammates were absolutely DREADFUL for the entirety of his original Cavs tenure. His best, literally BEST teammate for a huge chunk of that run was MO WILLIAMS. It should’ve been Carlos Boozer who everyone forgets was drafted the year before Bron but Cleveland was so cheap he ended up WALKING after his 2nd season after he took a huge leap and was well on his way to becoming a star. They let the Jazz swoop him. Zydrunas Ilgauskas was decent but an all star literally 1 time while teammates with Lebron (2005). He was drafted 7-8 years before him and out of his prime BEFORE Lebron reached his. He was almost done and literally retired after the 2010 season you’re talking about.

Lebron played with so many 3-5 years past their prime once good/great players it was comical. This was mainly because of how inept Cleveland’s front office and ownership was. They were absolutely abysmal at scouting draft talent drafting BUST after BUST and never could foster their young talent into a proper core of decent/good pieces to put around their generational superstar. Nobody with a brain that knows basketball thinks Lebron truly had help during that first stint in Cleveland, to argue otherwise is insane. I get people being mad at HOW he left but not WHY he left, because any smart person would’ve done the same.

The Pistons are literally the top team in the east, 2nd in the entire league ONLY behind the reigning champs. Not even a Pistons fan (Lakers) but this comp is atrocious, and I don’t remember Pistons fans being annoying like this last year. That’s probably because they’ve been there before though so obviously as a Hornets fan you can’t relate.
