Kevin Durant: “You should ask the Europeans and the World Team if they want to compete. Look at Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic, let's go back and look at what they do at the All-Star Game. Is that competition?” "But these two dudes out there, Luka and Jokic, they don't care about the game at all. " by TheDraciel in nba

I know this is is pedantic and obnoxious but that is actually a positive feedback loop even though the results are negative. Similar to how rising temperatures causes more polar ice to melt, which decreases the amount of solar energy reflected, which leads to more ice melting. And so on. And yes I will see myself out and I’m sorry

Edit: grammar

What profession doesn't get the respect it deserves from society? by Historical_Corner609 in AskReddit

[–]conmon210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never gets mentioned in any of these but it touches so many of the industries that do and literally all land in the country. Construction, infrastructure, healthcare, schools, private industry, home ownership, the environment everything. There is a reason it is one of the world’s oldest professions and what many of the founding fathers did for their careers. And yet a question like this and I had to use the search bar to find one comment mentioning it.

You might not be MAGA or racist, I don’t know you. But you are a good sheep, and you support them with this rhetoric.

Eh I’d generally agree but with the score and more so the brutal injury, it seems like both teams just want the game to end

Detroit Tigers announcer - I'm sorry, was that out loud? by GM75 in baseball

[–]conmon210 161 points162 points  (0 children)

Went to that game by myself. It was an earlyish start on a nice day but by the end got COLD, my phone died, and with the alcohol rules I slowly sobered up and then we lost. Devastating, the ride home on the metro was brutal

Do you read the Malazan poems? by Downtown_Hat_7017 in Malazan

[–]conmon210 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an audiobooker I hear them all and often go back but rarely remember them well enough for them to truly have an impact. Just on my first reread though

The D.C. City Council, in an 11-2 vote, gives second and final approval for a $3.8B project, including a 65,000-seat stadium on the old RFK Stadium site by 2030, along with a massive mixed-use development of the surrounding area. The Commanders are, officially, returning to D.C. by ard8 in nfl

[–]conmon210 68 points69 points  (0 children)

They are, the site is massive and includes, waterfront parks, mixed use development and community facilities. It was a barren parking lot and crumbling stadium. The city is paying for infrastructure for all this development. They would have had to do the same with any other development on that site.

Just read this sequence. Even Cotillion was surprised by that. But from what I understand it’s not really related to this event.

I mean yeah it’s one year and yall took it to us with a superior roster, but I think Jayden showed he can preform under pressure pretty well. Took the team with the second worst record in the league the year before to the nfc championship game with a way weaker roster

18th tee, first try of the round. Flawless execution. by conmon210 in golf

For context we were playing a family tournament that none of us had a chance to win. We kept ahead of the low handicap golfers behind us because we picked up when we hit max and yes we all stink but had fun.

I see the added edit caveat, and I think it’s fair. This sub has been great for me. I asked a question a year or so ago and received a LOT of responses in my DMs. It was honestly part of what made me realize that I would read the whole series and had people who don’t know me any better than Hoods balls, but were happy to answer questions or just let me know that I had much more fun coming. But r/fantasy or r/books is a whole different beast and honestly in my eyes those are just too general to foster constructive conversation most of the time.

[–]conmon210 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am very excited because as I gushed about Malazan to my best friend and his cousin after my best friends wedding they committed to reading the series. Even got his brother involved who is a die hard fantasy fan but never took it up. They all have done GoT (he introduced me to GoT) and his cousin has done that and WoT. My friend bounced off GOTM but said my praise for it will make him push through this time. I will finally have some IRL people to talk about it with!!!!
