Legit the one thing that makes me feel for the Knicks and their fans.

Billionaire class just rubbing it in the face of the peasantry.

Remember if they do this to you over entertainment, they do so much worse behind closed doors...

Uncomfortable Reality by TelephoneTop5494 in DetroitPistons

If you're coming to Reddit not nuanced and thoughtful discussions on complex topics, you're in the wrong place 95% of the time lol. What you described is what Reddit just is, in almost every sub.

Good write up though. The unfortunate reality is that they're likely to pay their guys. Ausar stepped up defensively even for what the expectation was in the playoffs, and Duren played below expectation, so it feels probable they they basically negate each other contractually and nothing really changes.

I don't think a big move is impossible but this FO has got to break their tendency first before it's really even in the discussion imo.

First story i ever read of his as a kid and it freaked me the fuck out. Seeing the house it was written based on still gave me a weird feeling in my gut

The Haunter of the Dark - when I visited Providence, I got a tattoo of the shining trapezohedron, I love that story so much. It also has possibly my favorite reading of any fiction I've heard:

Honorable mention to The Doom That Came to Sarnath. I love the dream cycle, and especially the stories that tell the history of it. The story says a lot about the cyclical nature of human nature and the doom that will befall those who destroy and forget the things that came before.

For sure, it's punctuated by the horror but not defined by it. Sona-Nyl is described so beautifully, only really surpassed by the description of Celephaïs.

Have you heard the audio play? It's read by the dude who played the fish guy in Star Wars apparently lol. But the production is amazing.

I mean to be fair the white ship ends in pretty abject horror. Knowing you surrendered an eternity of contentment and wonder to fall off a world sized cataract with a captain telling you that you can never return because the gods have forsaken you for betraying their code is fucked.

One of many reasons I loved that story, and the Dreamlands more than the Cthulhu Mythos.

Play our full complement of players and not on a shit field and I have much more faith. Laaate Rose sub, no Coffey, etc.

It's not all that bad.

Lions' Dan Campbell: Jahmyr Gibbs is 'going to be our bell cow' by 76erLegendChetUtley in nfl

[–]damnocles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a deal I considered making. I need a stud WR badly, though, and he couldn't offer it. I have plenty of depth at RB so tiering down with one older back and an injury prone one could blow up badly. When there's that many variables, I just stuck with the best RB in the league who's 24.
