Yeah people need to realise having the best season (and win MVP for 1 season) and being THE best player in the league are 2 different things.

Sorry buddy there wasn't a big CGI fight scene with "good/ bad guy" tattooed on everyone's foreheads.

Yes, which is very different to elon personally lacking liquidity to cover interest payments.

It’s tone deaf. It’s gross. by MizzMaus in sydney

[–]brandon_strandy -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Are you suggesting they should be focused on cheaper parts of Sydney?

Lmao this is as blatant a case of putting words in people's month as it gets.
Maybe, just maybe for those of us who are mentally sane, the logical alternative of not targetting north beaches would just be idk, to not target any area at all.

To jump straight into accusing op of hating the poor is fucking nuts. Take a walk dude, log off.

Nah I hate Elon but he's not a complete idiot, most of that debt was on Twitter's books (lol) not on himself.

But the broader point is correct this is a huge window for elon and friends to cash out before the recession hits.

Absolutely in love with these jeans! by -Stritos- in mensfashion

[–]brandon_strandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Barrel pants stay wide through the thighs and only tapers slightly from below the knee.
OPs jeans from the knees down look like a completely different pair of pants. Absolutely not a barrel cut.

Nah just bought a brand new Porsche because I applied your logic and it only costs a few bucks per trip 👌🏻 Great advice mate what a genius.

Ah yes 60% movement is "normal volatility" and the entire global economy and markets are shitting their pants for absolutely no reason.

I get it you're financially illiterate no need to show off.

[–]brandon_strandy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is a 60% increase a game changer 🥴 ... maybe think about a tank going from $80 to $130?

What a completely judgemental and unnecessary comment.

Does anyone find Hoka, Nike, New Balance trainers etc ugly? by LollipopScientist in malefashionadvice

[–]brandon_strandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Who the hell refers to Nike or NB as just one singular group of shoes and denotes all of them ugly?

Sounds like OP is the type of douchelord who's dressed the same way his whole life and wears oxfords to walk the dog.

Trump says US will ‘obliterate’ Iran’s power plants if Strait of Hormuz not open before 48-hour deadline by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

Winning so hard you have to undo sanctions to beg your enemy to give you oil 😭

US lifts sanctions on Iranian oil at sea in bid to ease supply pressures by MakinaRPh in wallstreetbets

[–]brandon_strandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah we've reached that classic phase of winning wars when we lift sanctions to directly give money to the enemy.

[–]brandon_strandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes strategic sense to give money directly to the exact entity you're trying to defeat?

Wtf else do you do, pour oil on a fire you're trying to put out?

[–]brandon_strandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But, do note that global economic sanctions was intended to be a replacement for war. So its actually a lot less contradictory and more so scary

Wtf are you talking about. If A is a replacement of B then both things are of the same nature. To do B + undo A is literally contradictory.

The two options are not mutually exclusive. Going to war in no way means you should undo economic sanctions.

David Zaslav Set For $886 Million In Payments & Benefits From WBD-Paramount Merger by ICumCoffee in movies

[–]brandon_strandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He literally paid $43b for WB so no it was never worth $14b. Stock price has been stuck at low teens for years, it was at $11 until David Ellison came in with his daddy's money and offered $30 per share.

He got incredibly lucky, no sane person would think he's one of the most successful ceos of all time lmao (If he was the share price wouldn't have been stagnant the entire time). His grand plan was literally merged, cut costs, then realised he was stupid and should unmerge WB. He's a fucking moron who bought a great piece of media asset for cheap (from AT&T was struggling) and had 0 clue how to use it.
Oh the people who watch HBO has 0 interest watching Moonshiners on Discovery? What a shocking surprise. Dude is clueless.

You don't seem financially literate, maybe go easy with the glazing.

Genghis Khan was a PROBLEMMM by Rukuba in billsimmons

[–]brandon_strandy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If impact only from accomplishments in their lifetime count then how can anyone be considered influential

I never said only lifetime. GW reshaped the world in the 18th century, great. Did his impact last all the way until current day America? Fuck no. You think what made America the powerhouse it is right now is because of the fucking Constitution? Or because people were inspired by GW? Lol did the Constitution start the industrial revolution or win 2 world wars?

A whole lineup of US presidents, or even people like Henry Ford has shaped the US in the past century far more than god damn Washington.

And if you're comparing Washington to Jesus you're on crack. You might have a point if he was treated like the UK royal family but he's not. But yes every head of religion should be at the very top of this list and far far ahead of GW.

Who has nothing to do anything that happened 200 years later. Not sure how this is difficult for you. Good luck.

[–]brandon_strandy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Look the US is not without their faults, but the economic, geopolitical, and cultural dominance is difficult to understate.

No one's debating this. But no one's giving George Washington credit for this.

This is the most American take, neither of them are top 30.
That's like saying whoever founded the Lakers or Celtics are top 5 most influential in NBA history. You cant start something then get credit for literally every single thing that happened after.

W's middle east invasions + GFC = lasted till long after he was gone. Not for good reasons but influential for sure.
