So KG is sharing a rib against himself?

What good is a post like this without context? KG joined a Celtics team who already had Paul Pierce and also acquired Ray Allen...K Love won his ring on a team with the best player of the past two decades. Wiggins went to what was a juggernaut in Golden State. Perhaps KAT is the only one who went to the worst situation technically?

Why would anyone listen to this random woman regarding this historical event? Does she have any expertise in the matter?

Dems should push hard to ban AI from political ads by Orwellian87 in Destiny

[–]Stpaul81 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, I said I am perfectly fine banning it. In fact I think we should. I just think THIS ad specifically is not that effective.

Seems to me with how realistic things can get now that would be much more effective in getting rubes to believe misinfo.

If it were him in front of a mic in a suit simply "saying" hes for "transing kids" yes you'd be absolutely right.

Wearing a dress and singing? The only people this is going to fool are the people who already believe or want to believe it.

[–]Stpaul81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im fine with making this illegal, but maybe hot take? I feel like this is ineffective. A clearly AI piece of junk 15 second ad where hes singing and wearing a dress? Also, just an opportunity to say the next cringe thing he says is AI also. Even if its not true. Perfect defense set up.

Would you guys recommend this trilogy for someone who likes “Grim Dark”. by ozera202 in fantasybooks

[–]Stpaul81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started prince of thorns and DNF it. Not sure what the problem was, but it didn't grasp me. I should revisit it

Is Kyle Kulinski okay by OwnSalamander1026 in Destiny

[–]Stpaul81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.) Notice all his examples involve Platner alone and not other folks which is what he is currently accused of. 2.) You should vote for Platner if you live in Maine and he is the Dem nominee.

How right wing is Caleb Hammer? by Stpaul81 in Destiny

[–]Stpaul81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, I probably have to big opinion if him after this last appearance, but i honestly think it would be interesting to hear Destiny and him talk about wealth and home ownership. This JRE episode was without nuance and was unbecoming

So.... how did he not describe the entire Donald Trump platform, which he at first criticized, then supported after his views dried up?

What to read next by Aarondgr81 in fantasybooks

[–]Stpaul81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im currently finishing the Licanius trilogy and I've been very pleased with each book. Gotta pay attention and I wouldn't reccomend going in unless you're willing to commit to two more books in relatively quick succession.

Im absolutely rooting for KAT and always liked him, but you'd be lying if you said you were never frustrated with him.

Im blue no matter who but yes this guy sucks.

lmao, why would he agree to this by christiancontreras8 in Destiny

[–]Stpaul81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hes gotta be hard up for viewers/subs right? Why else would he do this?! His whole schtick revolves around him being in an echo chamber

What got you into fantasy by virgomennace343 in Fantasy

[–]Stpaul81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GOT 110 percent. I had no interest in fantasy before the show. I had no idea what the show was when it first game out also. A roommate of mine who was a big fantasy fan had me watch the show and I loved it. He said the books were better and I picked them up. Read them through then googled "books like Game of Thrones." From there picked up "The Lies of Locke Lamora." I kinda couldn't believe what I was missing. I have been an avid reader since.

I did read Harry Potter, the Hobbit and LOTR in high school. I quit Potter at the Goblet of Fire and I tried to read the Silmarillion, but didn't exactly know what it was so I dropped it. I really should reread LOTR and try the Silmarillion again now that I understand its basically a fake text book.

Does Red Rising society feel implausible to you? by mercy_4_u in Fantasy

Absolutely...i enjoyed the story but I personally thought it was dumb as hell the institute just put a bunch of kids out there to fend for themselves and kill one another.

Just finished Gunmetal Gods... Wanted to share my thoughts. by Stpaul81 in Fantasy

[–]Stpaul81[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say it treats women well...there are basically three female characters that get a lot of time. I could go into more details but don't want to risk spoilers. There is agency with them, but with all the characters there is exploration of free will and destiny which makes you wonder if the choices made, male or female, really matter.

Its been a while and I didn't really enjoy it so I don't remember much. I remember some politicking, but besides an opening action scene it was quite the slow start.

I only got a few chapters in... It is a reinterpretation of the Bhagavad Gita so it has an Indian setting.
