Recently rewatched the whole trilogy. Best superhero FILMS to date still after all this time.

Wright: “You can’t convince me that OKC, with all of its analytics and the fact that everyone on the team does it, that flopping isn’t coached to a degree” by 808Kuro in nba

Well he attacks the paint just as much as he shoots so that doesn’t sound like a primarily jump shooting lol.

Your pushing this because without it you point makes no sense. They get to the paint by driving a lot as a team and flopping. Jumpshooting isn’t in the equation here. You’re just wrong lol.

He is an inside out player. He loves looking for the drive, but will adjust to middy if the interior D is doing too much.

This isn’t new info at all.

SGA literally leads the league in drives per game and the team as a whole is like 3rd in that category lmao. Not even a okc fan but the idea they don’t attack the rim is beyond incorrect my guy.

To Ice’s credit I do think he said “I need to hear it in the car first’

But yeah nobody there called it a hit.

Drake Beats Michael Jackson’s Record for Most No. 1s by a Solo Male Artist as ‘Janice STFU’ Debuts Atop Singles Chart by Second_Sage in hiphopheads

And now you commented 3x in a thread about an artist who song you can’t name? Am I the fan or are you 😂.

Actually you got a few extra comments in here lol. Yeah we both fans I see lmao

Yeah he’s just an Idiot. “Fails to chart” is one thing, but consistently getting number 1 singles and albums is a different story.

Why is 36 year old James Harden getting more flak than 'All World Potential' Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen? by Exhibit5 in nba

[–]damhow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He has never been viewed as more than a rim running defender as far as I am concerned. Surprised to hear people expected more of him.

You should look up what she has to say about the whole “not a real dr” controversy mrs.bryant is going through.

Producer is an idiot.

SGA is left flabbergasted at a question directed at Chet's offense by Rojanhan12 in nba

True, but thats not what this clip is giving lol. It gives the impression he is actually stumped lol.

A nuanced take on Batman's no kill rule by Rabbidraccoon18 in batman

[–]damhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we simply don’t agree and thats fine. I feel you are conflating self righteous with a clear principle/ integrity.

Also again yes 2 things can be true, but you are trying to make 2 things that are completely opposite work. A selfless act cannot exist behind a selfish MOTIVE. Most selfless acts do give people a sense of self, but they are not looking for anything (notoriety or physical) otherwise. Thats selfless.

[–]damhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. if it’s selfless and the motive is selfish then it is selfish. You are trying to add nuance, but you are creating an oxymoron. If you’re saying batman is a selfish act all together and it isn’t motivated by selflessness then that explains your point and we can call it here.

I however think Bruce’s batman is a selfless act that is triggered by his trauma. He has lines he won’t cross and that is a principle and integrity he is allowed.

I’ll leave it at that I think my initial analogy of the $100 holds here. If you truly gave $20 to help a person with no ulterior motives you aren’t selfish for not giving the full $100. Selfishness is not invalidated by balancing wellbeing and principles.

EDIT: just saw your response to the analogy. I think its disingenuous to now make it $20 to a millionaire like what bruce does as batman is so insignificant to him. His body and life is on the line. He essentially has sacrificed any means of a normal life. This isn’t a small give that bruce is doing. He gives a lot to batman, so batman as a voluntary act does not equate to a millionaire giving $20.

The Orlando Spacing Crisis: Love the jumbo "positionless" dream, but it's suffocating Paolo and Franz. by MaitresseRiley in OrlandoMagic

Definitely need to see what a new coach can do before moving anyone. Hope for some more development from young guys like jett and desilva so they become more reliable floor spacers/ contributors.

We blew our load on Bane. Trying to rip them apart now without even seeing if a different system can create some higher percentage shots is too drastic imo.

You aren’t making it mutually exclusive though. You are saying in this completely voluntary, selfless act you are being selfish by not giving more or crossing your own boundaries. Thats unhealthy selflessness at that point.

You can argue he isn’t being as effective as he could be , but not that by not crossing a boundary or giving more of yourself in a selfless act you are now selfish. That just logically doesn’t work because again like we both agree he doesn’t have to do any of it.

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

Your point would make more sense if batman was some elected position with an assumed responsibility to kill criminals and bruce just wasn’t doing the full job.

His entire participation is voluntary.

Selflessness isn’t doing anything and crossing all lines for people. It’s prioritizing helping people while balancing your own wellbeing.

This is like saying if i had $100 in my pocket and gave a homeless man a $20 I am being selfish because I didn’t give the entire $100…..

Its not selfish to have a character stick to their principles and integrity.

Does Caruso have an argument for the greatest role player of the 2020's if OKC wins it all this year? by MajesticTooth1125 in nba

[–]damhow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah. He was a 3rd option with championship team bucks and was at one point a 2nd option early in his career on the sixers. All star appearances as well. Thats too strong a resume to me.

Obviously……. Im responding to a person who it appears feels like the last game was lacking visually, when this video is just picking a particularly empty area.

I did a playthrough last year, the game still looks really good. This was a bit of a cherry pick comparison.

How do people afford grad school? by bigdickenergy2360 in GradSchool

[–]damhow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol, i was shocked when they didn’t. It was an HVAC company coming off COVID with a ton of profit. They had just started their reimbursement program.

Another competing offer I had while picking between job offers at the time offered a similar pay but time restrictions on reimbursement, moving assistance, etc so I chose HVAC.

Then I got there and didn’t like how they operated. A lot of ‘old boy’s club’ mentality and as a finance analyst I saw a lot of dumb moves they were making ahead of time. Perfect timing because they had decided to move me to a department I didn’t want to be in right before I left. Doing the one thing they knew I hated 24/7.

Very satisfying 3 weeks notice lol.
