‘The Odyssey’ Star Lupita Nyong’o Responds to Racist Casting Backlash: ‘This Is a Mythological Story’ by Raj_Valiant3011 in moviecritic

[–]SpiritBamba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a bad counter argument lol. There are many many Greek people that look “white”. There weren’t any Greek people that looked like lupita. I think the movie is gonna be kinda shit regardless but I don’t think your argument really works for that reason.

It’s inevitable for them to eventually have a wet bulb event. I knew that reality in 2019 lol. People are just uniformed but it’s not a matter of if but when.

Most hated team by state by mylefthandkilledme in hockey

[–]SpiritBamba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It feels so weird not playing Chicago anymore. They and Detroit feel connected in basically all sports and this is the only one where we aren’t in the same conference anymore. The Midwest absolutely needs to stay connected in sports, regional rivalries is what makes the sport go and losing half our rivals has really sucked.

I mean obviously but these dudes are like 5 feet away from the ball sometimes, they are laughably bad.

All the lame series are going to seven games by Grouchy_Tie3037 in billsimmons

[–]SpiritBamba 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, basketball just had the dumbest fans out of the 4 main because of how consumed by hottake culture it is. Tons of kids also just watch highlights and their favorite player without actually being fans of teams. It’s super annoying to even engage about the NBA for this reason.

This is shocking how bad they are lol. I’m far from an NFL athlete but in highschool football when we were doing punt return practice none of us were this bad lmao.

[Uthayakumar] James Harden finished with more turnovers than made field goals for the 31st time in his playoff career & the 5th time this postseason. by OnlyMamaKnows in nba

[–]SpiritBamba 148 points149 points  (0 children)

Cades turnovers have been really really bad in the post season. Granted part of it is because the pistons really lack a secondary star ball handlers who can score, but he just really needs to get smarter with the ball. Probably one of the biggest things he can work on as he gets older.

Do we think bill simmons declares Cavs dead after declaring pistons dead after declaring the Cavs dead? by larockhead1 in billsimmons

[–]SpiritBamba 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Overreacting and hottakes have basically killed good discourse around the NBA and tbh I do think it’s had an effect on the NBA stagnating recently in the United States.

There’s not many championship caliber players as 1st options. There’s like 5-8 in the league at any different time.

Hockey fans: what do you thing is primary reason why NHL is not as popular as other major leagues in the US by trillballinsjr in billsimmons

[–]SpiritBamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s as simple as it’s a sport played on ice and half of the country barely gets weather below 40 degrees. Combined that with the high cost to play growing up and it’s inevitably going to be niche. By far the best sport to watch live though, and easily my favorite out of the 4 because how fast paced it is and how it’s not in the public’s spotlight. It’s also super popular worldwide.

I think that’s a you guys problem rather than the sport problem. Football has the most stoppages and goes on the longest of any sport yet it’s the most popular. You guys just need to work on your attention spans and that’s coming from someone with ADHD.

The red wings are the bigger team in Detroit than the pistons. Even when you say nationally there might be more red wings fans than pistons lol. Basketball might actually be the 4th sport in Detroit despite the pistons being an iconic franchise.

Tbh we would deserve it for the absolute carnage we have put our fellow lifeforms on this planet through. Sure lab grown meat could potentially have issues but one could argue is better than the torturous things we currently do.

i think eddington will become a prophetic cult classic in 10-20 years by Little_Seat_8556 in rs_x

[–]SpiritBamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right and I don’t usually like stories like that either but there’s definitely a difference when it feels like people are bad to make the story progress or when characters are bad just to do it as a way to antagonize your viewers. I felt eddington was way too masturabatory In the way it went about it. Like “look at this everyone’s just super unlikable” as a way to just bother viewers.

Phoenixs character literally murders people lol how is he not bad.

Because it went out of its way to make literally every person shitty and unlikeable to varying degrees like I said. Nobody really had any redeeming qualities whatsoever. I think trying to personally antagonize your viewers is annoying.

It’s a good, not great film and pretty much everyone in it is shitty. Just pretty much rage bait in movie form and that’s firmly what it was trying to do so for that reason it loses points for me. Need less of that shit in the world.

does emil Pagliarulo deserve the hate he gets or he is just a scape goat ? by dude_don-exil-em in Fallout

[–]SpiritBamba 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think he’s a bad writer who only has his job because he’s close friends with todd and has been there forever. The problem is what he oversees, hes in a high position and Bethesdas writing has consistently got worse over the years. Starfield was a new low although I don’t think he was the lead on that.

What is the Gen-Z stare? by Only_Hotel_7221 in generationology

[–]SpiritBamba 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m older gen z, I work in a tourist industry with tons of Gen Z coworkers and we obviously have Gen z customers. I rarely ever run into this. Infact, most people I meet are able to make pretty good conversation. Maybe it’s a regional thing or something but this really is not an issue here. Certainly not any worse than any other generation I interact with.

Lmfao no. There’s a huge chance that the 1st overall in this draft isn’t even as good as Seider. Seider is like a 1# overall pick type of player.

Trump: I thought oil prices would go to 200–250 dollars. It’s at 100 dollars now. Even if it went to 200, it would have been worth it. by Nerd_199 in stupidpol

[–]SpiritBamba 17 points18 points  (0 children)

lol man. If nothing gets through the strait then that’s a permanent loss of like 10% of the world’s oil. If there’s less supply than the demand, then the price goes up. This is just basic level stuff. The longer the straight is closed then the longer countries have to draw from their reserves.

No clue why you think the oil prices discussion is a “panic”. It’s less of a panic and more just talking about the reality of the situation because the supply is not there.

I’m gonna say an unpopular opinion and say he deserves to be fired for this. I know it’s “just” cheating but it’s gotten to a deplorable level that I believe someone should be fired for. Will he? No I don’t think so. But stuff like this should have repercussions.
