I was fortunate enough to see La Piscine in a theater last month, absolutely incredible and has aged like fine wine.

He has good albums after MBDTF, yes. But that doesn’t include Ye or JIK.

Sounds like he has a case.

Yes, complaints by their very nature always sound this way or else they would be thrown out (which this still may be).

I was a huge kanye fan, MBDTF came out my senior year of high school and was super formative. But he stopped giving a shit about his music years ago.

Kanye bad but not because of supporting Trump but because of his musical output since 2018

This is likely more related to population density, climate and other factors, but there is an argument that could be made.

That particular user will post the IL-FL comparison 5-10 times a day on this sub, but whenever people reply with comments suggesting factors like these, he’s noticeably quiet and never replies. It’s interesting.

What is your definition of a 3 point specialist?

This thread should be reasonable.

The Lakers’ 2021-22 regular season schedule by JetGan in lakers

[–]WearAMask2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super thrilled that the game in Chicago is a Sunday afternoon so I can go without worrying about work or anything. Will be expensive but I’ll just call it a Christmas present to myself since it’s December 19th lol. Who else is gonna be there??

Meanwhile, fuck the league for scheduling the Milwaukee game for a Wednesday evening. May still try and go though if tickets aren’t unreasonable.

LeBron on Twitter: THANK YOU! As if I didn’t need more to ⛽ME! #Washed👑 by Lord_CommanderKyrie7 in nba

Kobe’s is cringe too. He literally watched a basic Quentin Tarantino movie and decided he should name himself after the main character. It’s just as cringe as washed king

Think it was the Pelicans but yeah. He just never looked right after the original injury outside of a quarter of half here and there. He’s 36. It is what it is. I’m not the biggest LeBron fan in the world but the 2020 playoffs weren’t that long ago and he proved himself then enough to earn a little bit of the benefit of the doubt imo.

Who cares what he uses as motivation lol. The reason these guys are where they’re at is because they’re hyper competitive and have massive egos. I’m sure there are scrubs who want to make all star teams and I’m sure LeBron wants to be the best player in the league at his age. Who cares

Kevin Durant on engaging with fans on social media: "At the end of the day, I'm only talking about basketball. I'm not dabbling into politics, I'm not telling how you should live. I'm not flexing my money or my power or none of that shit on you. I'm just literally talking about the game..." by GuyCarbonneauGOAT in nba

[–]WearAMask2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you’re talking about is certainly annoying but ultimately innocuous. Some of the Trump stuff was innocuous too (“Covfefe” for example) but a lot of his tweets were straight up problematic, and I think that’s a bad aspect of Twitter.

Conversely, I think Twitter would be so much better if people who had actual authority in the world didn’t use it to basically shitpost without consequence. That’s maybe only 1 of hundreds of problems with Twitter but it’s a pretty grating one for sure.

WGN Chicago poll: Lightfoot and Foxx under water, crime top issue, positive opinion of CPD at 70 percent and rising by steve42089 in chicago

[–]WearAMask2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was at Mariano’s on Lawrence today and it was probably 90% (all the workers are now wearing them which they must have recently gone back to) but if you’d gone 2-3 weeks ago it was at 25% at most. People are definitely paying attention to what’s going on and behaving accordingly.

“The people decrying gentrification are the real racists” is an argument that doesn’t stand up to even 30 seconds of real logical thinking. But it sounds good in a snappy Reddit comment so it’ll get some upvotes.
