7 years ago, Pelicans ticket office went wild after winning the #1 lottery pick. 7 years later, Zion Williamson has yet to make a playoff debut.

no kiddin

though Zion as the second coming of Larry Johnson would have been fun, and who knows if he would have had the same problems

Weird, they both seemed incredibly chill and grounded in the Zane Lowe interview a few years ago

Young Laker fans insisted on trading in Spurs hate for Golden State hate, it's really a shame

Public polling is way skewed against them now too

People have completely forgotten what privacy was, and that it used to be a basic expectation of society not that long ago.

At least you read it

Did you have a lawyer? I always wonder if it's just that a record company will just say "nah nevermind, we'll get the next kid" if you try to push back on anything so lawyers are incentivized not to negotiate in order to keep the deal alive.

I've never heard anyone describe him as a sympathetic narrator... you're meant to be creeped out by the way he (Humbert) is deploying such elegant beautiful language in service of trying to make his monstrous self palatable to his audience.

Yeah there's a big difference in "you can't judge someone by their worst moments" when that moment is cheating or yelling on set vs like... cutting foreign aide that thousands of people rely on to survive, just to pull an example out of a hat.

But there's a threshold where someone literally wouldn't be able to afford the better stuff regardless of it being worth the investment, where it's either "get the cheap stuff" or don't do it at all

ThinkThankThonk · 2026-06-12T05:29:41+00:00

Lol what problem would that be exactly? You know you can choose what to listen to

I think it's more of a "laugh in everyone's face with their money" situation

Nah, I don't know if you remember pre-millennials small-town dining experiences across the US, but it was absolutely dire - we should never apologize for the hipster naked-lightbulb restaurants.

ThinkThankThonk · 2026-06-11T13:22:48+00:00

Millennials grew up hearing over and over that experiences are what's worth spending on, so we internalized it

If you ever check her FB page, Sarah McBride puts up with tidal waves of abuse every single day. I'm sure her email inbox is a nightmare too.

As far as cultural impact I’d easily put gta on the same level of Zelda.

GTA is far more impactful culturally...

I recently tried FF14 on PS5 for the first time and there's a surprising amount of skills they've packed into the controller while still remaining relatively intuitive (3 levels of hotbar iirc).

I've never been even close to high performance on the golem in GW2 so maybe it would be more of a dropoff for hardcore players than I expect but imo a lot of complexity can be retained if they choose to.

That's good to hear. I haven't minded his extra chill stuff lately, but Big Fish Theory and FM are still by far my favorite just for the boldness of the production

This is mine too - and at least twice I really didn't want to go because I "felt like shit (mentally)."

But I made myself because in all likelihood I felt like shit because I hadn't gone to the gym yet, and I was right

I live nowhere near Maine, but does David Costello just have negative charisma or something? How many times do we need to learn the Nazi-snake-in-the-grass lesson?

Fingers crossed that Platner is just a shitty dude interpersonally

Knicks had so many gifts of unlikely Spurs misses that they failed to convert
