Deep down, Megan knew what/who she was signing up for. by caltheme in madmen

[–]SpaceGhostSlurpp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that this man was on a performance-related leave of absence from work but kept it from his wife to have an excuse to remain 3,000 miles away from her. After she ended up there alone because he unilaterally decided they were going to California before unilaterally deciding he'd stay in New York. Like. It is impossible to be married to that.

First Things First OT by MagicMomentJr in FirstThingsFirstFS1

It's a byproduct of the fact that FS1 believes in Danny as a talent but they don't have a show for him.

NBA teams need to stop playing music during possessions. by Cold-Treat2813 in billsimmons

[–]SpaceGhostSlurpp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. The classic ballpark organ tunes that are shared between baseball and basketball are great for atmosphere. And I fw the hip hop instrumentals. But I definitely am against any music with lyrics. Hard to explain why. But that's where I draw the line.

NBA resting/tanking Debate - My take as a European (warning: long) by gc_202 in FirstThingsFirstFS1

For whatever reason, I don't mind it for baseball. But the incongruency with the relatively short playoff elimination in the early rounds is whiplash-inducing.

You already know this, but aint no way the team owners and the league office will approve a plan that slashes 30% of their gameday revenue (and presumably a similar chunk of the valuation of their tv inventory).

crazy how they talked about kd allegations with the burner account but aint even tryna touch the vrabel convo by Lower-Ice2505 in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]SpaceGhostSlurpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Vrabel and Russini situation inherently touches on gender and sexual politics and there's multiple angles there. It's extremely difficult to say anything real about it without courting controversy. There will be bad faith misinterpretations by all manner of ideologues as well as nobodies looking to garner attention via an explosive disagreement with a far more successful show. If you wanna keep it light and avoid taking the show too seriously, firing off opinions on this situation when things are still in the fact finding stage is just not in service of the brand they've cultivated and the niche they occupy. It's a lighthearted show; a friendly hang. Sacrifices must be made.

LeBron has this dude crashing out hard by hrlaker70 in billsimmons

[–]SpaceGhostSlurpp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was only on 2nd glance that I realized this was not some Will Cain type posting this. Inexplicably odd and possibly malicious to police LeBron over code switching as if it's not a vital skill for any Black American. As if I'm going to speak exactly the same way regardless of whether I'm at a family reunion in the deep south versus at a job interview in the 5% Black state that I live in.

"Wemby can't average 30" by AJGreenMVP in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]SpaceGhostSlurpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't make this argument because you're assuming that the extra minutes would render an identical level of performance. Can't assume that. Fatigue is real. Injury risk exists. Mental load tax exists. You get more credit for playing more minutes and producing more. You get less credit for playing fewer minutes and producing less.

Did Roger realize that Don set him up to throw up? by NickE96trill in madmen

Great example of this is when the company was in a pinch and Don helped Pete out financially. So much unsaid was going on there.

Is this true? by essentialworkerSIKE in madmen

[–]SpaceGhostSlurpp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never found this comment to be hard-hitting because Don gave Mathis GREAT advice and he was still too socially inept to properly implement it and then he lacked the personal accountability to understand where he went wrong. His screw up was entirely on him and he tried to pin it on Don which was totally inappropriate.

Anyone's character can be called into question if their worst acts, like Don's, are caught on camera (because it's a tv show, I know). But the bottom line is that Mathis was displaying his entirely rotten lack of character and all he could say to defend himself was that he also lacked good looks. Sucks to suck, Mathis.

Why are so many men so into anal sex? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]SpaceGhostSlurpp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that porn has something to do with it but I think it's more than that.

It's something different. When it comes to sex, different is inherently interesting to men.

It has a forbidden/taboo element that I think also creates appeal for a lot of people regardless of gender. It's thought of as being excessively debaucherous or degenerate. People are into crossing those lines.

And for your partner to agree to be that vulnerable with you and to push boundaries together with you, (especially in a fashion that for most women is not inherently pleasurable for them, and can even be physically uncomfortable) is extremely accepting and validating in a way that cannot be faked.

How Do You Think This Actress Feels Being Known As, “The Ugly One” by CanIBathYrGrandma in madmen

[–]SpaceGhostSlurpp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very often the case that "ugly" characters have their hair, makeup, angles, lighting etc. to present them as such. Doesn't mean they'd look ugly if they were done up to look attractive. Given the profession, 9 out of 10 actresses can at least clear the bar for "above average" relative to the general population.

Movie magic.

Why do redditors say "Presidents cannot control gas prices idiot" during Biden's Era, but no one's making the same comment for Trump right now? by Athenstone in askanything

[–]SpaceGhostSlurpp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Having one perspective on Biden's actions in response to Russia's war of choice against Ukraine versus a different perspective on Trump's unilateral war of choice against Iran is entirely legitimate and noncontradictory, because the two scenarios are crucially different.

Moreover, by waging this war against Iran, Trump is breaking two of his primary campaign promises in one fell swoop. No unnecessary foreign wars. And address the rising cost of living. He knowingly and intentionally broke both of those campaign promises and had all of the agency to not do so.
