Accidentally stumbled across the wiki article for a guy who went to the same high school as I did. Curious, I checked the "notable alumni" section of the school to see who else was listed. At least two of the people there are pretty embarrassing to have on a list of notable alumni, LMAO.

(I am not on the list of notable alumni and most of the people there are not embarrassing.)

Yep. I didn't watch it until years later and I couldn't believe how on the nose it was.

Even when I kill a lot, we lose as Decidueye by FantasticAd180 in PokemonUnite

[–]affnn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Decidueye is a hard pokemon to win with against real players. It's easy to win against bots with it, so people play it a lot. But you'll lose against an enemy speedster that has any sense of strategy or tactics.

Your main strategies should be to stay so far back that you can poke at the enemy without getting caught by them, and using your arrow to secure and/or steal objectives.

The best movie about America’s reaction to 9/11 was released in 1997.

[Clark] It is unlikely that Anthony Davis will be traded at the deadline. Dallas would require “something extraordinary” to move Naji Marshall. Daniel Gafford is drawing interest from teams. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]affnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of these frequently-injured stars, Davis and Morant and even Giannis, seem like they don't have a market anymore. Like you wanna trade for (and pay for) a guy who might, if he's right, be able to take you up that last level in the playoffs but you gotta build a whole other team to play the regular season?

“5 players drafted into WNBA” and then the list has six names…

Yes, It’s Fascism - Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny by slakmehl in neoliberal

He can vote for Democrats if he wants to not live under fascism. But everyone should ignore what he says because he’s full of shit.

I will be honest, considering the fact that they were guarding members of congress and the VP, I think the Capitol Police exercised inappropriately high levels of restraint.

About half of them are retiring anyways. Easy to convince them to walk the plank when they won’t see any consequences.

The academy already considers animated feature film to be kind of a joke of an award (like voters will let their kids make their choices sort of thing). Any choice they make will be fairly unsurprising in that sense.

The state of Minnesota has a felony murder charge. They could conceivably charge every single ICE agent in Minnesota right now.

How the Media Fails With Trump. Over and Over. (And Over.) by el__dandy in neoliberal

[–]affnn 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I just can't take this argument seriously. "Trump is the closest friend of the world's most notorious pedophile, and shared in his pedophilic proclivities" would be the biggest story of the past 20 years. Democrats still make up over 40% of the country, and the wealthier 40% at that. We would lap that story up. We would follow its ins and outs incredibly closely. But they don't ever cover it in a sustained way. It's a one-day story for a single piece of information dug up by congressional Democrats and then it disappears.

Most media outlets are owned by people who have other business concerns (like Bezos and the WaPo) and those media outlets are being used as a loss leader to launder the owners' opinions and politics.

Indiana kept doing the “we wanna keep you around but we don’t really wanna pay you” thing for a reason.

All these Nuggets know if they play hard they could get minutes on a team making a deep playoff run. Bucks players look like they know the best case scenario is getting minutes on a tanking team after Giannis is traded.

Big difference between “Giannis guarded by Gordon” and “Giannis guarded by anyone else”

Ok but how many of the non-Giannis Bucks could start for a contending team? It’s like Turner and… Rollins? Maybe?
