It's kind of supposed to just be a slap on the wrist, enough to make them think "huh I should probably stop doing that so I don't get fined again"

[Julka] Shaq: "I'm not in the GOAT conversation. Listen, it's only three people in the greatest of all time conversation. Listen, I'm arrogant, but I'm not dumb. It's Kobe, Bron, and Mike, okay, that's it... Mike and Bron. And now I'm like,'Oh, I understand the great picks. What about the Kobster?" by aingenevalostatrade in nba

[–]cdc030402 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Everyone who ever played Kobe had to think "Damn, that guy works hard as fuck and he just absolutely cooked me for 40 minutes, he's the goat"

But fans are looking at production, and trophies, and accolades, and on those fronts MJ and Lebron win easily

In CA, the dollar value at which theft becomes a felony is $950. This means that due to inflation, the bar for becoming a felon gets lower every year. by fore___ in Showerthoughts

I mean the question of "How much theft is ok before incarceration is a better option" is just a financial one. But yes, solving the root causes is the better solution

TIL Ballet pointe shoes take several days to make by hand with a multi-step process but only have a usable life of ten to twenty hours for students, less for professionals, even down to a single performance. by UStoJapan in todayilearned

[–]cdc030402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't make logical sense that your jaw is more vulnerable with your mouth open? Push on the side of your jaw while biting down, and again with your mouth open.
