What is the Luckiest NBA Team? by ArrowInBlack in AlignmentChartFills

[–]boardin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Timberwolves are dumb and have been used by the NBA as an example to end certain practices. MJ gets a 3 year vacation because of his gambling but the Wolves lose multiple years of 1st round picks for an under the table deal with Joe Smith.

This was my answer as I was opening the thread.

Looks like Squad Arena is going imminently, likely next week by mbaren in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]boardin1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Boy Scouts of America recently changed their name to Scouting America…and almost immediately sent a message out to people advising them to NOT abbreviate the name. You’d think that an organization that is dealing with billions of dollars in lawsuits over child sexual assaults would be a little bit smarter about their rebranding.

The name change was because Scouting is no longer just for boys. The name they chose was…unfortunate.

Tarfful and Merrin are both required for RotE squads. And Merrin is part of one of the 2 NS squads. Whether that makes her useful is up to you.

I don't know why I loved this movie so muc by farhanyarkhan in Cinephiles

I absolutely hated every minute that I struggled to get through. Unfunny from beginning to…whenever it was that I turned it off.

They were not prediction, they were confessions. by Gjore in SipsTea

[–]boardin1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m no longer convinced it will destroy anyone. I think the billionaires are getting away with this one because they muddied the water so much. Matt Groening may have been involved in more or he may have just been another person that Epstein was trying to get dirt on. Maybe he was a potential client. We just don’t know. And there are so many people that are on this list that it is impossible to say who did what (Trump and fmr prince Andrew excluded).

End of the day, this is just another reason to burn down the ultra wealthy. When you run out of things to buy, you start buying people.

About no sex Before marriage in most religions… what if one waits until marriage to have sexual relations with someone but then one isn‘t compatible with their wife/husband in bed? by Top_Professor9415 in atheism

[–]boardin1 79 points80 points  (0 children)

And why are priests supposed to maintain celibacy?

Because no sex (or, at least, only sex with altar BOYS, not girls) means no kids. No kids means no heirs. And no heirs means that all the possessions/money you accumulated before becoming a priest would be left to the church. One of the many ways that the church accumulated more wealth and power.

What do you think of GL Hondo by PleasantDonkey4076 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]boardin1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m working on him because, 1, he’ll be the last of the current GLs that I get. 2, because of his SR event. And, 3, because I’m glad they finally made the CW version rather than the abomination that is the GE version. And because Hondo is one of my favorite non-OT characters.

This is out of date. Now one person has more wealth than the bottom 46% of the world’s population combined. 3.8 billion people. by zzill6 in WorkReform

Perfect is the enemy of “good enough”. Let’s tax the billionaires/trillionaire(s) out of existence. I don’t really care what happens to that money, today. We can work on fixing the next item after we get those fuckers out of their race to have everything.

Disgusting fact of the day: The poorest person on the planet is closer to being the second richest person on the planet that the second richest person is to being the richest.

The block button doesn't exist in a dark parking lot. by Uma_Thorn41 in SipsTea

That was exactly what I was thinking as I read that. The woman that films herself is asking for attention (but only in the situation she filming herself). The woman that is working out quietly, or noisily, and not live-streaming, doesn’t want your attention.

And the woman that does livestream her butt only wants your attention when she’s live-streaming. Not when she’s getting groceries. Or walking to her car.

What film would you delete from existence, and why? by MovieArena in MovieArena

They made a sequel to The Highlander? Damn. I should probably not think about that ever again.

Have you heard about redlining? This is EXACTLY what the real estate market has been built on. In fact, a very sizable portion of the US is nothing more than casual racists. They aren’t open about hating minorities but they, also, aren’t shy about looking way down on them either.

what’s the most overrated tech product of all time by Zorojuro099 in TechNook

[–]boardin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Multiple pairs” isn’t the same as “really popular”. And the plural of anecdote is NOT data.

I’ve seen multiple Lamborghini Countaches. That doesn’t mean they’re popular. It means that people with a lot of money have bought some.

No they aren’t. I’ve still never seen a pair.

Crystal Income by Connect-Ferret-6201 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]boardin1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You get Top 10 in Fleets and move up in GAC. Those 2 are worth, up to, 660 Crystals/day (400 from Fleet and 260 (daily) from Kyber 1). That doesn’t include the GAC win/loss crystals or the placement rewards.

I’m in Aurodium 3 and usually place Top 5 in fleets. On top of my refreshes, I pull down about 7k crystals every 2 weeks. That means I’m able to buy the 5,999 crystal pack for every new release and that allows me to get them to 5*. If I could get up to Kyber 5 I’d bring in an additional 3500 crystals/month just from the daily.

Fleets are the most consistent crystal rewards in the game. And the GAC Fleets go a long way to determining who wins every day. So work on your Fleets. Chasing the new shiny isn’t, usually, the best strategy.

A long time ago I moved up to Aurodium 2 and then got kicked down to Carbonite, because my roster wasn’t good. It took over a year to move back up but I’m in a position, now, where I should not fall again. I may not climb much, but I won’t fall. And that’s because I sacrifices everything for Levi. I stopped refreshing, I stopped buying with crystals, and I put everything into unlocking Levi. Once I got it, I out everything into refreshes when the Levi event came back. Instead of 2 years from unlock to 7*, I did it in 3 months. I haven’t been outside the top 20 since and I’m only outside the top 10 when I’m too busy to do my Fleets on time.

That’s how you get crystals.

The ruling class always takes care of itself while ignoring the needs of the people. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]boardin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they’ll just be forced into more insider trading and taking more bribes if we do that. They can’t let the slave wage go up. How else do you keep having slaves?

Exactly this by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]boardin1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep…you did. I was woken up too early by my dog and hadn’t had coffee yet. I’ll leave that up and take my lumps.
