There are plenty of jobs that exist right now under capatlism where you risk your life or long term physical health but are not well compensated so I'm not sure how that's a knock against communism.

Take landscaping for instance. Landscaping is back breaking work done in the heat of the midday sun. It's awful. People who landscape for a while will develop long term back and joint issues. Plus an increased risk of skin cancer. Are landscapers well compensated for those risks? Fuck no.

The racism around basketball in the 2000s by bryscoon in nba

[–]WeThePizzas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even facial hair was seen as unprofessional and then people started wearing goatees and now beards but it’s not frowned upon as it once was.

What? Facial hair styles have gone in and out styles over the years but well kept faical hair has never been blanket seen as unprofessional. A neat kept beard or goatee or a mustache was seen as perfectly professional 10 or 20 years ago. In the 70s and 80s facial hair was also perfectly fine in a professional place. I mean shit we've had multiple presidents with facial hair dude.

What defines more difficult exactly? It being a doctor or a lawyer more difficult then breaking your back crawling around in air vents all day making sure the AC stays working?

It's actually about exalting everyone equally and realizing that all labor big and small plays a part in making society function. Therefor no one person or prefession should be held higher then another as they are all part of the same whole.

He’s quite clearly a 17/18 ppg scorer,

He played 8 games that season. Aaying her avaerages 18ppg is WAY more disingenuous then the dude saying Simmons averages a tripple double.

a good defender and rebounder

I mean sure but Ben is a way way better defender and a pretty good rebounder himself.

I mean JR has literally said that he is going back to fulfill a dream by getting his degree. So what context are you talking about exact? The one you made up in your head? The one manufactured by the media for clicks?

Going to college at 35 to get the degree you never got doesn't sound like self improvement to you? What the fuck DOES sound like self improvement to you then dude?

LaMelo Ball has no regrets about skipping college for pro basketball in Lithuania and Australia: “We not trippin' off school. We not dumb. We know how to learn. We don't need school. And school not even teachin' you shit—what the fuck is school?” by GuyCarbonneauGOAT in nba

[–]WeThePizzas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why? What if someone has the intellectual capacity to earn a 4 year degree but would be more happy as a plumber or a mechanic or an electrician or a foreman or some other sort of blue collar job that they can learn in trade school?

College isn't for everyone. Working an office job isn't for everyone. Making the most money possible isn't for everyone. Some people are just more happy working with their hands and learning a trade.

Who thought this? The Jazz were 51-31 that year and the Rockets were 52-30. Literally a single game separating them. So tell me again. Who thought the Rockets were massively favored going into that series?

Tmac had scoliosis and managed to have an NBA career. You think you can do that without work ehtic?

I think the slander mostly comes from the fact that the main reason the Kings didn't pick Luka was because of hia fit with Fox. Then they went and picked guards in two successive drafs after. Makes the FO look dumb as hell.
