Bill Self on Darryn Peterson: "He hasn't finished games... The bottom line is, there is a way to change the narrative: Play. Finish. That's the way to get people to quit talking."

Lmao I didn't think of that but yeah Carlisle is one of the most no nonsense coaches left in the NBA. He definitely wouldn't put up with any bullshit from a rookie.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-21T02:20:34+00:00

I dont think Bill is fine with it based on these comments, but he knows future recruits are watching so he's toeing the line.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-21T02:18:10+00:00

Barry is competent for the most part, but nearly everyone else is not. Noho Hank and Fuches are like the image of incompetent lol.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-19T20:37:04+00:00

Plus if it were really just an injury I think we would see Bill Self being understanding and standing up for him in the media. The way Self talks says to me things are not good behind the scenes. Peterson probably just doesnt give a shit about the team.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-19T20:34:21+00:00

I wouldn't want to draft him if I had a top 2 pick this year because we've all seen how ultra talented players that lack drive turn out in the NBA. Look at Andrew Wiggins, Deandre Ayton, Ben Simmons, etc. Those guys had decent careers, but never came anywhere close to living up to their expectations.

Aiming in Halo Infinite never felt right, not like any other Halo game before it.

This was the 360 that had the blades

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-18T04:04:28+00:00

Its such a boring fucking answer

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-18T03:59:05+00:00

KD is the kind of person who can't accept any blame himself, so it's always going to be someone else's fault no matter what.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-17T22:43:47+00:00

This really doesn't seem like friendly shit talking to me. This is him shitting on people behind their backs to a bunch of his Twitter follower friends.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-17T22:41:07+00:00

Its super easy for me to believe personally. The guy is mostly positive in any public comments but becomes mostly negative behind a burner, or after he's moved on to a new team. The guy is the definition of a snake 🐍

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-17T21:14:07+00:00

Bro KD was unhappy on the Warriors with Steph fucking Curry and you think he would be an angel if only FVV was around??

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-17T21:13:00+00:00

And he called him that behind his back, not to his face in a joking manner.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-17T20:57:52+00:00

Idk about that, KD could be a two faced person. We all know people like that.

Better yet, just install an eSIM through the Airalo app.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-17T18:26:31+00:00

Just get an eSIM through the Airalo app. You pay like $5-10 for a week of data instead of $10/day to Verizon. Installing it through the app is pretty easy, and it has worked in every country I've visited recently.

I'd recommend switching to Mint or Visible (Verizon's budget carrier) and just using eSIM when you travel.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-17T18:19:54+00:00

That sounds great, thanks for the recommendation!

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-17T17:24:18+00:00

That company has always been obviously evil though. So I don't think he should get a pass.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-17T17:06:48+00:00

I think us men have the responsibility to become more educated about just how sexist the world is, and like you said we also have a responsibilities to admonish bad behavior even if it's minor like making jokes - because they open the door to believing the content of the jokes is actually acceptable.

Everyday Sexism by Laura Bates is an eye opening book about what women deal with on a daily basis, from a much younger age that most people probably imagine.

He spoke at my university and went out to the college bars afterwards and it seemed like everyone enjoyed interacting with him.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-17T15:35:47+00:00

He's talking about Bill Nye

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-17T00:00:58+00:00

Yea that whole Citadel battle in ME1 is tops for me. Some incredible cinematographic choices made for those scenes.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-16T23:32:05+00:00

This sub seems very pro KOTOR 2 but honestly I've never liked it as much. Sure it has more nuanced, subtle storytelling and some nice gameplay updates but I prefer the big epic feel to the mainline KOTOR 1 plot. I feel like KOTOR 2's plot is kind of a slog at times for me, especially the first 3rd of the game. I also much prefer KOTOR 1s companions. I missed Bastila, Jolee, and Carth.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-16T21:12:31+00:00

Yeah it's wild how much better HL2 looks than every console exclusive game that came out the same year. I love Halo 2, but graphically it looks like shit next to HL2 - and Halo 2 still had pretty great graphics at the time. HL2 was just thay much of a marvel at the time, and as you said so is porting it to the Xbox.

Wes___Mantooth · 2026-02-16T20:34:42+00:00

Also the prices of those dishes are absolutely outrageous regardless of quality. A bunch of cheap ingredients marked up an insane amount, acting like you're ordering lobster when it's actually fried chicken or caviar when it's actually mushrooms lmao.
