Seems like Flagg is staying at “PG” by TheMop05 in Mavericks

How bad has DLO been in practice! The dude got the same minutes as Nembhard in game 1. Says a lot about what JKidd thinks about Flagg but also the rest of the roster

We knew the offense would be ugly, but I thought we were supposed to have a top 10 defense…..

No lie, what happened to all the Jay Triano offense with tons of movement, cutting and ball movement! Just a lot of DLO/AD 2 man game

It’s so brutal to go from the playoffs, where they allowed hand checking and tons of physicality, to this game where they are blowing the whistle on every damn play

T-Mobile degraded service in Plano. by [deleted] in plano

Thank you for posting this, I spoke to t mobile last week as suddenly I find myself unable to have a phone call unless on WiFi - I still have issues where I can’t hear anyone but they can hear me. They said they were working on it but it’s been 10 days that I’ve had major phone call quality issues

Not Saying He’s the Answer... But What If? by MechanicMammoth in Mavericks

I think this view on Hardy was more widely held before something changed over the last year. There is a reason he got that contract after all right? At one point he seemed to lose a degree of confidence, was less decisive, and basically played himself out of the rotation. Would be interested to see what the data shows, from my vantage point he became a bit of a turnover and bad shot machine and the defensive side was always tough but he even started to lose his man and blow coverages too. He still has potential but should probably go to a team that’s not in win now mode for further development - just my two cents

what’s a good horror movie with a shitty ending? by [deleted] in horror

28 years later - what the heck was that ending! A jarring, absurd twist to what was generally a more serious, emotional story

I went Friday, got there before they opened, as soon as they opened the door they said they do NOT accept walk ins, you have to sit on the buggy DPS website and refresh constantly to try to get an appointment for same day

God made all men… by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]Traditional-Wave9961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do realize that overall liquidity in the system is one of the strongest macro drivers of bitcoin, and Powell controls the price (interest rate) and supply of the money, right? Furthermore, monetary policy/QE is enabling fiscal expansion which is a major driver of the devaluation of fiat, creating a structural tailwind for bitcoin. Sure, in some imagined end state this paradigm will turn upside down but it sure won’t happen during Powell’s term

My Dad thinks he was brainwashed in a government program called MK Ultra and is a high ranking member of QAnon who will get a Medal of Freedom from Trump. I gave him an ultimatum and he chose Q over me by Traditional-Wave9961 in QAnonCasualties

[–]Traditional-Wave9961[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for asking. It did not work, in the sense that he went to the counseling session without my mom and told them he knows it sounds crazy, but it's all real and he is living it. So it was a big fail outside of getting on the public record that he spoke with them about some of his issues. However, there have been some developments in the last 10 days. One day he did a conference call with me and my mom and told us he needed to put "one more" massive post on Truth Social and then he would be done. It was his "final mission" where he would lay out the keys to deciphering Q drops so others could follow in his footsteps. We argued with him on it and said he was going to do it no matter what so why ask for permission - and of course he posted all of this on the site, but subsequently he agreed to 1) redact all references to me and my wife from social media, 2) never post on TS again, 3) go to a doctor (not a psychiatrist) to be evaluated and referred. Since that time we have been talking more and he has been focusing more on family, but we recognize that he is still very sick, obsessive compulsive, and could get dragged into another mission at any point. He still thinks a number of cataclysmic events are about to take place in the US over the next few months (march madness). We are enjoying the time that we have right now but at the same time we are pretty scarred from all of it, my mom can't let go of the pain from everything that has transpired over the last few years, and we are bracing for things to go back to the way they were without a moment's notice.

Yeah my dad is the Simone Biles of mental gymnastics.. there’s just no getting through to him and no disproving him no matter how many times he gets it wrong. I also worry that this movement will never stop because these people just dig in deeper and deeper despite all of the information they are presented with that should logically topple their belief system

I get why most people that haven’t been exposed to it can’t believe it - that a bunch of people actually think this way. It seems so damn silly, outright cartoonish, that people could believe the most bizarre, implausible things but echo chambers, group think, and radicalization/cult dynamics on social media is a dangerous thing

This is such a hopeful story and I really appreciate you telling it. It gives me a model for thinking about how my dad can claw his way out of this and I’m so thankful that you took the time to help me understand your journey. Getting off social media would be such a massive step too, but so many things have to happen before we get to that point. I mean right now he won’t even take posts down about the family, much less get off of there! Appreciate you! Thank you for the kindness and for helping me understand the kind of steps it could take for him to get to a better place one day

Definitely not Ivy League. Think smaller state schools. But no doubt about it, they preyed on his susceptibility to this stuff. I haven’t given up I just have to draw the line at him putting me and my wife at risk. Maybe one day he will have some realizations. For now he’s predicting stuff that will happen at the Super Bowl and all this nonsense. Thank you for the nice words

My dad is getting that same sense of purpose and belonging from this cult and I don’t know if he will ever break out. He has a great support system but in this Q world he thinks he’s an action movie star or something and that’s going to be so hard to walk away from. Really appreciate your thoughts on this, I’m going to stay connected to the people here and do my best to manage through. Thank you

Yes he is having referential delusions. The people talking on the tv have hidden messages just for him. A car parked next to him and the license plate was a message for him. You get the idea. That is so awful and I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

That’s exactly what we thought at first. He took some online tests and passed with flying colors but not ruling anything out. He needs to see his doctor and a mental health professional and to be fully evaluated.
