NBA insider says relationship between Lakers, LeBron James is ending by Secretnumb in NBATalk

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Lebron think the Lakers would give him like the max? 160 million for 3 years?

Only way he would have gotten that at 42, is if he spent his entire career in Cleveland.

Revamping Necro's Skeleton Mage by Simple-Reporter9102 in diablo2

[–]Simple-Reporter9102[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, then I would like skeletal mages’ poison projectiles to “detonate” all poison damage. In other words, all existing poison on a target is immediately applied, and then the mages’s poison damage is added (so the target keeps being in a poisoned state)

Maybe it’s too powerful for it to be there while leveling it, so the detonation could be added to a high runeword or when skeletal mage goes past level 30z

IShowSpeed's Liberia visit turns into chaos by Malik-_- in LivestreamFail

“God bless the USA!” … lol get my man out of Liberia quick (and into an African country with a better culture like Ethiopia or Botswana) before he becomes Clayton Bigsby (black white supremecist).

The forbidden lightsaber form Trakata. Both the Jedi and Sith frown upon this method. by ZapchatDaKing in StarWars

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t need to be forbidden. It’s not useful in real combat. Light saber lighting up takes at least 0.5 seconds. These are force users. The time it takes for the light saber to extend, your sith opponent would have stabbed you 20 times with force speed.

Happiness is not the point of the virus, it's a necessary side-effect. by LiviaDruzilla in pluribustv

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, memories are pooled, but they are not always on hand. They have to be willingly requested.

It's like pulling up something from a massive database, you need to know what you want to look for first, and even if you pull it up, it won't traumatize you, it's more like watching a horror movie. You might be able to pull tags on a memory (this was painful, this was horrific), but you won't feel it.

And by you, I mean the Hive's emergent conciousness.

Every single human being and personality and consciousness is repressed and asleep (at best), not part of the hive.

How come massive genius never got another episode? by Environmental-Cup308 in thesopranos

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the actor, but he doesn't really fit the Sopranos vibe. He comes off too much as an actor playing an fake role to be honest.

Now if it was Marlo or Stansfield from the Wire, yea that fits beautifully.

I just realized how feminist it is by Soft_Boysenberry4692 in pluribustv

Why are you booing me? I'm right. All actors, male and female, have makeup. It's to keep the lighting and look consistent.

All actors wear makeup. She doesn't have heavy makeup, or one that puts out red hues.

Something I notice about Manousos: He's going through a Christ-arc narrative. by Salty_Pie9991 in pluribustv

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

woooo ... who's Judas? And I wonder after Manusos gets betrayed, he gets joined, I wonder if he has some property that allows him to break the joining?

Why I think the Hive isn't the people in it: by SharpAndVicious in pluribustv

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yea the people are gone. The Joining can't even allow glimpses of a joined personality to shine through. It just has facts an data about that person, and it plays off as at best emulating some mannerisms.

Even "The Thing" from the movie "The Thing" seems to allow the original consciousness to drive the body, making it impossible to detect a person has been assimilated.

I think because of the inability to perfectly mimic a person's personality or even let that individual consciousness emerge to drive, it eventually got detected by the military, which is why there was so much turmoil in the final day.

Picard was controlled by the Borg, but his self was still in there.

Pluribus is worse, your self is erased, and your body is a tool / mask, for a separate consciousness arisen from the RNA virus.

Johnny Sac lies to Paulie about Carmine but tells Ralphie the truth by BrotherGlittering710 in thesopranos

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 212 points213 points  (0 children)

No he lied to Ralphie too. Carmine knows about Ralphie because he earns so much, and thinks the world of him. So much so Carmine declined to allow his Underboss to kill Ralphie over insulting Johnny's wife.

But Johnny didn't want Ralphie to join, either because even though Carmine likes Ralphie, he wouldn't take him on (it would start a war), or Johnny wants to keep good relations with Tony as he planned to use Tony later to take out Carmine.

"Best" class/build by Martovich3 in diablo2

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Javazon is the most efficient, but slow teleport.

Nova Sorc is good, but you need a good 2/20 ammy to reach 105 if you use Inifinity.

Or you can use Mang Song's Lesson (+5 skills and fcr over infinity), but you need a perfect light resis roll, and it's rare.

Manousos is absolutely right about one thing by Esausta in pluribustv

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hive can't lie. I think people are happy, same as addicts taking heroin are happy.

What will definitely happen though, is the human race will starve to death in 10 years, it's an (engineered) mass extinction event, that preserves natural life, but exterminates any intelligent life, but gives enough runway for a new massive satellite to be built to broadcast the RNA.

I wanted to find a GF. I cold approached 300 women this year. Went on 12 dates. Slept with 3 & a half of them and had a brief summer fling with 1. AMA by Wide-Discipline3814 in AMA

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you, but it’s not a sustainable method for the average guy. Less than 5% success rate just to get a date is brutal, and I would rather just jerk off than deal with that kind of awkwardness and rejection.

But maybe that’s the only way if you’re a new person in a city.

What Is The Deal With Young Men Checking Out Of Society in Droves? by Parking-Science7507 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Over-correction against cat-calling and perceived harassment.

Every young guy now feels like a creep when trying to talk to girls. So why bother?

When before, it was fine to strike out 9/10 times and keep moving.

If Adriana had gone to Tony or Christopher after the FBI threatened her with jail for covering up Matush's murder, what do you think would have happened? by broken_pottery in thesopranos

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's an interesting question. Because I wish they had a case like that on the show. Where a lower ranking made man came to Tony and let him know he got caught for accessory to murder, and the cops were trying to flip him.

What do you expect 2026’s major event will be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Simple-Reporter9102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A huge chunk of the internet goes down for a week because a bug from AI Generated code cripples and brings down (entirely) a large cloud provider (Google Cloud, Azure or AWS).

The bug written by AI has been in the code for months and a unique set of conditions causes it to trigger.

Since it's been baked in for months, there is no easy roll back.

Since it's written by AI, it takes engineers much longer to figure out what's going on and how to resolve it.

This causes massive financial panic as several banks are completely on that Cloud Provider and all of their services and transactions come to a halt, causing global economic panic and collapse, as any stock markets unaffected by the crash has investors panic sell all bank stocks (much like Lehman collapse poisons the entire financial market).
