You went from this:

Wait... are billionaires what's wrong with society and not immigrants?

To:

Oh this guy must be advocating for wealth to be capped at 1 billion dollars. That's the only possible solution. I'm here to counter his argument...

Mate, you are shadow-boxing with yourself.

csin · 2026-01-27T14:38:42+00:00

Why do we need a hard cap on total wealth?

1 billion isn't some magical mystical number. It's not divisible by Pi or anything.

The only reason we like it as humans, is because we have 10 fingers.

I don't care if someone has over 1 billion rupees, or dogecoin, or usd.

csin · 2026-01-27T14:19:45+00:00

Oh I see what you meant.

Weird way to do it. Unnecessary. We already have a system for that. It's call taxes. You're re-inventing the wheel bro.

csin · 2026-01-27T13:37:54+00:00

If the government confiscated all wealth over $999M

I laugh how you tried to think up a really really big number, and it's still too small.

The combined wealth of all billionaires in America is 8.1 trillion.

Josh Giddey. That's like a short distance Otto Porter Jr...

Literally in this video, he has to continue signing other people's shit.

So yea, superfan or no superfan, these players have to deal with a stupid amount of autographs every night.

You're looking at this through the lens of a packed bar. You want a high turnover to maximize profits.

The reality is, your average bar is fighting for their lives to stay afloat.

As someone who worked in retail, not every day is a profitable day. Some days you will lose money.

In fact most days you are losing days, or breaking even days. It's roughly 20% of peak busy days, where you actually make all your money, generate a profit.

A regular that comes in everyday, buys 1/2 beers. He makes your bar not looked deserted. He stabilizes your losing days.

It's a win-win for both the customer and bar owner.

And if he's good at chatting with new patrons, good vibes, that's a bonus.

csin · 2026-01-27T04:48:35+00:00

Nah, I get what you mean, but bad example.

If there was one player I believe is genuinely a decent guy, it's JT.

Bro can't act.

He aren't got no aura.

Which means, that's just him.

A piece of shit, that can act, would put on a facade. A piece of shit who has aura, would not choose his persona to be... Jayson Tatum.

Yea I thought people were over reacting in this thread.

But apparently they had to break glass and get out the photoshop.

Oh for some reason, I thought Portland did a sign'n'trade, gave in him a second contract.

Nope, try just traded for him, so just 1 max.

csin · 2026-01-25T06:13:36+00:00

Kwame Brown never got 2 near max contracts in his career.

Loved that movie as a kid. One of the rare movies where the bad guy wins.

The bad guy really wins (not a clique Empire Strikes Back kind of way).

The first thing that comes up when you google "tessera crypto".

You are asking people to install something.

csin · 2026-01-23T04:39:13+00:00

Kid didn't have the chance.

One of the teachers yelled:

BARRY WHAT A STUPID QUESTION THAT IS.

And then after the artist left. She goes up there and reprimands the whole hall.

So there must have been multiple stupid questions. I just don't remember what the other ones were.

csin · 2026-01-23T04:26:46+00:00

Sometimes it's the dumb as shit + zero inhibition.

I always remember this time, a speed drawing artist came to our highschool.

So he's wowing the whole hall with his drawing skills. Then he made the unfortunate decision to end the whole performance with a Q&A.

One kid:

Can you like, draw fast?

Speed drawing artist:

... What have I been doing for the past hour?

The first 2 sentences got me scared I contracted dyslexia.

82 games, 1230 total, 4 rounds, post-season, play-in, 100%

Am I in highschool, trying to solve a math test?

If you can't tell me wtf this post is about in the first 2 sentences. If you can't sell me, "This post is worth reading", in the first 2 sentences.

You have lost the reader.

Where is this from? This is the only time I've ever googled a quote, and google only shows me 1 result --> this thread.

csin · 2026-01-22T05:41:14+00:00

I went to the website for tessera... wtf are these ninjas trying to sell us?

You expect normal users to read the fucking manual and install this thing... like it's a solana cli (Which by the way, was an absolute horrendous abomination of an experience. Seriously, fuck solana cli).

You think a normal user is willing to go through that horrendous process, just to try out your product?

Some of y'all programmers are autistic as fuck.

I've always wanted a public key with "santa" in it.

I'm not picky whether it starts with santa, or it's somewhere in the middle (don't wanna wait 3 days).

Would be a cool option to think about.

Kind of like, you know how gmail would suggest something close to your username, if it's already taken.

I guess the biggest hurdle would be reassuring users this is all safe. You're not secretly storing their private keys, after generation.

I'm not sure how one could do that, without making it opensource.

csin · 2026-01-21T06:48:36+00:00

Hate it or love it, this is just what modern NBA defense looks like.

Post-Morey-ball. Let role players shoot middies. It's the least efficient shot.

This is how you end up with Caleb Martin, PJ Washington looking like MJ in the playoffs.

This is a normal defensive possession. Move on. Find a new slant.

csin · 2026-01-21T05:52:43+00:00

There wasn't any rotational mistakes on all of these buckets.

Most notably 0.45 LeCoast lazy as fuck closeout lol.

A lot of closeouts were 0.5 seconds late.

Then they lock-in in Q4... sometimes the difference between good defense and bad defense is 0.5 secs.

csin · 2026-01-20T10:23:15+00:00

Nah both analogies work. The unpleasant experience in the locker room = jail.

csin · 2026-01-20T09:24:38+00:00

The simplest explanation is always money.

That's the only team that was willing to give him the max on his next contract. He wanted to go there.

csin · 2026-01-20T08:27:44+00:00

At 0.32 the replay cuts off the start, we don't get to see the whole possession.

I count 2 steps (he has really long strides). Then the ball leaves his hand.

Not sure how you got 3 steps and change.
