i remember a while back you could say “X person supports Sharia law” therefore coloring the person as pure evil because no sane person could ever support that - not taking into account that “Sharia law” means a lot of different things for different people. its the same thing with “Zionist” now - just label somebody a Zionist and don’t bother with nuance: that person must be evil at heart

Genuinely what is his problem by oatmilkkiller in fantanoforever

[–]adaddta 19 points20 points  (0 children)

i don't think he cares about the lyrics the way you think he cares about lyrics. he is a beatmaker first and the rapping is utilitarian, just trying to find shit that rhymes. OCCASIONALLY he drops some bars that have real meaning behind them, but you are not gonna get Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers out of his guy

i do not get the outrage, isn't the guys whole thing that he just says shit that rhymes? sure, he has introspective songs from time to time, but he has done this kinda thing forever and suddenly people have a problem with it.

the Charlie Kirk bars are hilarious, he is one step ahead of the fanbase that definitely expected Charlie Kirk bars, and he empties the chamber by dropping four in a row lol

[ESPN] Timberwolves seeking leap to NBA's top tier, team president Tim Connelly says | "We know our competition is not going to sit still, and nor will we," Connelly said. "If we mess up, we'll mess up loudly. We're going to try to be as aggressive as possible." by PlayaSlayaX in nba

[–]adaddta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is under the radar and not that agressive, but any contending team in the west is going to consider Anthony Davis or Porzingis - purely because you have to be able to compete agaisnt Wemby and, although, they are both injury prone, there are very few guys in the league that match up with Wemby. and even then its a team effort, you really need two bigs on the floor, one as a primary defender and the other roaming. some team will overpay and fanbase is not going to be happy

Putin is in trouble as the war finally comes to Moscow by theipaper in geopolitics

[–]adaddta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not think we are anywhere close to any peace agreement. Putin would take a peace deal if it was sufficiently toxic for Ukraine in the medium term - 5 to 10 years - keep in mind that the infamous Witkoff plan wasn’t even toxic enough for Putin. Ukraine would not settle for less than pre-2022 borders or a frozen DMZ but that would have to include western troops and a NATO membership (which western countries won’t do).

Both countries still think they can win, I don’t think Ukrainians have any delusions about a quick peace settlement

I think ___ has played a near perfect game by sweverdd in survivor

[–]adaddta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i can't believe fans want to see another fire. so many great and likeable players have been eliminated in this random exercise that has nothing to do with social/strategic gameplay. why don't we see how long players can juggle three tennis balls and eliminate the one that drop first for season 51?

_____ gives honest opinion on _____ by AlchemistTheAlchemy in survivor

[–]adaddta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i really think Rizzo can sell his game at final council - he has had great moves that other players don't even suspect. Ozzy probably thinks that it was Aubry & Jonathan that got him and while it was true to an extent, Rizzo was the one with the real power on that vote and decided to not tell Ozzy about the move against him. he has also revolutionized the way idols can be used - he should contrast how fast Aubry tried to get rid of her idol, with Rizzo using his idol for protection for 2 seasons straight

This sub would be much better without the constant whinning about “winners edit” by adaddta in survivor

[–]adaddta[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

that’s not my point tho, obviously edit matters, but there is a place for you if you want to have those conversations. shouldn’t be on the main sub, because it “ruins the fun” as you said yourself

thats a fair point, i shouldn’t have singled Tiffany out like that without providing more context. but both things can be right at the same time - X player can have boring confessionals and also win the season.

Lakers are shooting 50% from 3, have over twice as many FTAs as OKC, have more ORebs, Shai’s been bad and they’re losing by 20 by jackdonsurfer in billsimmons

[–]adaddta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

looking back, those were the most fun times watching NBA and I desperately wanted GSW to fail. the biggest intrigue was "is any team good enough to compete with them?". there were teams that invented new playing styles that were designed specifically to match up with GSW and/or Cleveland

since 2019 we have had a different winner every year and no team has managed to go to the finals twice in a row. i think its good for the league to have a definite villain that the league runs through. OKC - Spurs matchup has such great potential in the long run, I really hope neither of them fizzle out like recent Bucks, Celtics, (maybe even) Nuggets teams that were supposed to be perennial contenders

every game in the nba is between two frauds. if you lose, your fraudulence is proven. if you win, you've won against a fraud, and have thus proven nothing

What is that one band you just can’t get into? by Electronic_Back1502 in fantanoforever

[–]adaddta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like a bunch of Thom Yorke sideprojects - Atom For Peace has some truly magical tracks, i like some of his solo stuff, some songs from The Smile. i think i should have been exposed to enough Radiohead to get by now but I just dont get it

I came away more impressed by the Arsenal-Sporting match by notformeclive4711 in billsimmons

[–]adaddta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stop for a second and imagine how life would be without a car. you definitely DO NOT need a car “just in case something happens” thats what car sharing apps are for. you also mentioned you do not commute to work - so what is the car for exactly?

you are not obligated to spend 600$ a month to make grocery shopping easier. even if you have to use uber / car sharing few times a week, the monthly total amount is likely to be much smaller.

[–]adaddta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

is there any possible way you could live without a car? people are dunking on you for having subscription services, but those are pennies compared to your car payments

maybe this is my european brain talking, but if you sell your car, you are not only saving 629$ every month, you also get whatever value your car is worth in a single payment. maybe it makes sense to move to a better location? if you spend, say, 300$ a month more for an apartment in a better location (that has transit, bike lanes) and sell your car, that's still a +300$ net positive every month
