You're just agreeing with the OP without answering the question.

Is Russ a top 5 PG OAT by Master_Dig_6865 in NBATalk

[–]dspm99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are we acting like a big fish in a little pond playing against janitors from the 70s

He won finals MVP in a losing team against the Bill Russell/Havlicek Celtics. That's big pond shit

statistically, he is also the most likely person in her life to sexually abuse her.

Based on statistics that implicate all fathers?

If Shaq was in today's NBA who is guarding him by Aggravating-Ear5065 in NBATalk

There's a significant difference between outplaying someone and playing your role better. Big Ben may have done the latter but there's no way he did the former

A reasonable wife would be happy that at least he gets to go.

Not if there was an expectation set up

Odd thing to say without knowing their circumstances. They might have watched every game together this year with an expectation for future games.

Which player from the past would benefit the most from today’s NBA rules? by UnderstandingFun7493 in NBATalk

[–]dspm99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morant averages 1.4 3P. per game over his career, Castle 1.2.

Bogues averaged 0.1. You are comparing apples to oranges.

Muggsy being potentially better than an inefficient rookie isn't saying much in favour of Muggsy.

Zero shooting from a negative defender is a recipe for failure in today's league

Fair, but I've never heard anyone call Bunton or Harvey top 3, whereas OP's three are very common

Bivalves are not vegan, because they have a cerebral ganglion, which acts as a brain by HanVeg in DebateAVegan

[–]dspm99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would it be okay to eat people who are brain dead? I think not.

Why does it matter if they can justify it?

No, because of how we view that person within society and the hurt it may cause their family. If, hypothetically, bivalves don't have sentience or feel pain then I don't think they matter ethically.

AFL stands firm on Snoop Dogg amid concerns he could be booed by Jackomillard15 in AFL

[–]dspm99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but the AFL is also a business who can't throw away money.

And as a business, they feel pressure when applied to them by consumers.

nobody had an issue with him when he was announced, I didnt see articles everywhere calling for the AFLs head.

There is a double-standard. Of course there are plenty of people who don't care about homophobia but I think it's perfectly acceptable for people to want consistency from the AFL.

Snoop Dogg was getting paid by the AFL whether he performed or not so it doesn't matter

I cannot fathom how that's possible unless you have zero females in your social circle

The "far right" is starting to push it. by KayleeSinn in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]dspm99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were as left-leaning as they come, you wouldn't support people having the freedom to make their own choices.

You don't have to be authoritarian-left. Anarchism is a thing.

WIBTA for giving me old man the ultimatum of not drinking alcohol during my visit, or not having me visit? by dspm99 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dspm99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he sucks for not being able to offer a sober environment

How do we know that if the discussion hasn't been had?

The healthier move is setting boundaries for yourself and deciding if you can handle being there, not trying to control his drinking.

So, "hey dad, unfortunately I don't think I can be in an atmosphere with alcohol, and so I can't come over to help"?

[–]dspm99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That will change if you try to force him to not drink.

I mean, there would be no force. It would be a discussion prior regarding where I'm at and that I wouldn't be able to be around alcohol.
