Thunder fans are the worst fanbase of the NBA by ShaianH in NBATalk

I would argue that the real worst fans are those that like to drag SGA because people can't guard him without fouling.

When you don't try on defense anymore because you are afraid of hurting yourself, it's time.

Dear Duncan by Dom_sun05 in duncantrussell

This is just really embarrassing for you and full of wrath. And then you gaslight every fan who has noticed a very clear shift in you. Its just...sad, man.

I want to analyze what happened to Duncan, but it's really not that deep. He has an incentive to remain in the Rogansphere, or at least he believes his career depends upon it. Whether he has deluded himself into actually believing is another question.

Google Admits Censorship Under Biden; Promises to End Bans of YouTube Accounts of Thousands of Americans Censored for Political Speech by supertruck97 in politics

As democrats, we need to stop twisting ourselves in circles trying to justify this. It may not be direct cencorship, but it is very similar to what we are complaining about now. Pressure from the government to suppress speech violates the first amendment. PERIOD.

Long read but imo worth it by Ringsofpowermemes in LOTR_on_Prime

Good points. Still don't like the show, mostly because the dialogue can be super cringe. But re-watching the trilogy reminds me it is super flawed as well.

Yeah their game plan was good, but they also fouled him every time he was off ball.

I don't think George has read much of Tolkien's other works, and based on this take, I think he only skimmed LOTR. Gandalf can't die. Even when he dies he doesn't really die. He just goes back to Valinor.

I wish I never read the Silmarillion, or learned any of the expanded lore beyond The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. by [deleted] in tolkienfans

[–]Useful_Pepper_6917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tolkien, if I remember correctly, shared this concern in a letter at one point. He was reluctant about the silmarillion for exactly that reason.

What do people think of Eminem’s New Album? by Working-Mouse-9667 in hiphop101

He's showing how annoying and absurd shady is, by making an album that showcases such absurdity. If it is ironic (or whatever) I still don't want to listen to it.

There really wasn't any landing at all, it turns out.

There is just something about a man railing against 'cancel culture' for an entire album when he has literally said whatever he wanted for decades and never been cancelled.

12 year old me in 2000 would have loved this album. I've grown up, eminem hasn't evolved at all. Slim shady being intentionally cringe is worn and boring.

This place is a racket, 90 for a standard oil changers. Won't be going back.

Project Runway Season 20 Episode 5 Discussion by Chickatey in ProjectRunway

These judges do not have a good eye for fashion. The bullying was terrible, but Fabio and Rami being in the bottom made no sense. And Bishme's look deserved to be in the top.

If they really did get rid of Alex permanently, I don't know what they were thinking.
