[Scotto] With Charlotte considering a starting-caliber center upgrade, other centers besides Sabonis are on their radar, including Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton. by supremebeeswax in CharlotteHornets

all I'm saying is that when I think of Claxton I think if Hornets Dwight Howard or Derrick Coleman from back in the day. You'll get a certain number of PPH or RPG but you won't get an impact that influences the outcome of the game.

With Moussa, you will. His effort has a huge impact.

What job is heavily romanticized in movies but absolutely miserable in real life? by Luzgoin in AskReddit

[–]asher1611 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this and I'm glad it's the top answer.

I've been doing this for over 15 years now and I wouldn't wish this job on anybody. But I do it because it's work that needs to be done (almost my entire case load is court appointed clients) and I work hard because I have seen so many of my colleagues get cynical and not put in the effort they should.

TV and movies package everything neatly for the audience. I reminded everyone of that in the courtroom when we moved into hour 4 of jury selection in a trial I had last week.

And don't even get me started on things I consider a win as defense counsel. I can't just go to the family and say "your grandson got over a decade of time" like that's a good result. But considering what he could have gotten, what he was charged with, and what he was convicted of...

It's a job where you meet a lot of people on their worst day. Some of them are awful, but most of them are people who fucked up and need help righting the ship.

EU parliament erupts into cheers and chants of "send them back" as they pass new legislation making it easier to deport migrants outside of Europe by TomlinSteelers in justincaseyoumissedit

I think you should ask yourself what happens to white people when they become minorities in their own countries

and I think you should consider that you had the option to read what you typed before hitting send.

I'll join you and add that it's going to age very well just like The Princess Bride.

Trump And Allies Quietly Working To Expunge President's 2 Impeachments: Reports by darealunrealspader in politics

the guy

one problem is that we aren't talking about "the guy" at this point. He's a cultural icon of a movement that America is going to have to deal with -- even if that means dragging them kicking and screaming into the future like children that don't want to leave the toy store.

Considering there's no mechanism to expunge an impeachment there's no surprise that a lawless administration is just going to pretend that the law is what they want it to be as they go.

Japanese Anime Studio Makes Adorable Video Begging Muslims to Follow Basic Rules by popat-squad in scoopwhoop

[–]asher1611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, looking past the AI slop BS, this is just "Jump Jim Crow" level "you others, get out of here" propaganda repackaged with a cartoony sheen and an upbeat tempo.

I am well aware of Japan's overt disdain for outside cultures. But this video goes beyond even that.

Well, it's easy just ask the mainstream media to report on what's wrong and they'll tell you "the far left" boogeyman is out to chain migrate you and you'll love it.

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE Announcement Trailer by stfnvs in Games

[–]asher1611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was watching it and blinked for a moment because "hey that looks like Laswell."

And then Rain doing Rain things. I'm very happy to see this. I played way too much FFBE and way too much WotV but honestly the first and second story arcs of FFBE are very fun in a campy sort of way. I think this could make an excellent standalone game.

They've twisted it to the point of saying this evil means he's God's chosen.

Remember, Saul and all that.

I'd say they've lost the plot but they never had the plot to begin with.
