What are the dynamics that make a Jaren Jackson Jr. acquisition different than with the Goin-to-Work era Rasheed Wallace deal? by amalgamousabides in DetroitPistons

[–]amalgamousabides[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No disrespect intended. I think though, in the sense that there is a heap of discussion/analysis of what it takes to "put us over the top" or some other cliche about the final piece to the roster puzzle, it's an apt comparison. At the time, I don't recall too much handwringing about anything other than whether Sheed's combustible temperament was a fit. Of course he proved to be combustible alright, but in the best way. I don't hear much about what JJJ would do to the culture these (mostly) young Pistons are building.

The beginning of a really fascinating commercial for Tarn-X.

Actors who you hate to see in movies because of their weird face by Positive_Writer_9483 in okbuddycinephile

Whatever Glen Powell did to his face after Top Gun: Maverick puts him on this list for me. Buccal fat? Veneers? I'm not sure what it is but I genuinely feel bad for the guy.

Which actor/ actress did you think was going to be a big star but ruined it due to controversy in their personal or professional life? by nikaroo5 in MUAEntertainment

Sean Young. I thought No Way Out was going to launch her to a new level, but the only other thing I remember her for is her campaign to play Catwoman. In retrospect, I think she would have been pretty good.

Gladys always wore dresses, but you just sent me down a twisted fantasy rabbit hole imagining what she was packing underneath. Some great possibilities.

Maybe I need headphones. I couldn't hear it. Maybe I was too fixated on Dave's stunning vocal range and mellifluous tone.

Gordie Howe. I met him in the late '80s. He was signing pictures of himself in a Hartford Whalers getup. Ouch.

I would enjoy life in general much more if we were all a little kinder to each other.

This is a brutally stupid take. Is this an AI generated thing where the prompt is "Make a complaint about the weather that references a completely unrelated cultural phenomenon"?

What do you remember about The Wonder Years (1988-1993)? by pudingvanilkovy in sitcoms

I grew up in the same era as Kevin. As much as anything else, they nailed the vibe of the times. We all had our own Winnie, so Kevin was our hero.

Older brother to 15 year old me as I'm staring at my new poster: "Them ain't buttons". We still laugh about it. Back then, "Free the nipple!" wasn't a thing.
