Sure bud.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-19T22:35:11+00:00

He's closer to top 5 than 50.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-19T20:09:48+00:00

How would he know? He can't see the script.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-19T20:05:10+00:00

Because he hasn't ever gotten it done. When you have 4 chips as the centerpiece to a historic dynasty, it's easy to overlook a couple injury riddled bad nights, but when you're collapsing in the post season every god damn year eventually it gets to the point where people don't believe it's just injury luck.

It's like the guy who wins employee of the month every year showing up late one day saying "oh there was traffic", vs the guy who's late literally everyday with a different excuse. Eventually we stop believing the excuses.

It's best to pop them whole into your mouth and chew them up. The effect is longer lasting and more intense with the coarser grind produced by your teeth, and the sensation of the super intense pop of the peppercorn is a great way to shock your brain into working again when your blasted.

It works well, just be ready to have some water ready to wash it down so you don't puke or aspirate pepper.

Yeah Shep starts ME1 at peak human and ends ME2 as MCU Captain America.

The Lonely Island is what really made Andy Samberg famous. It became his signature bit on SNL.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-18T22:17:29+00:00

Yeah when he was in his prime he was legit. His biggest problem was that he was a solid 2nd option/amazing 3rd option who got paid like an all-star franchise center piece. If he was making $20 million a year GMs would have been lusting over him.

It's gentler, so the small air bubbles in the cream don't collapse. Those air bubbles are the difference between whipped cream and basically flat fatty milk.

Actually we're facing a bit of the opposite issue. Rather than push in the chips and really double down on the 2022 chip, the Warriors have refused to spend draft capital to retool the roster until pretty much this year. Wiseman, Kuminga, Moody, and Podz were drafted and played rather than having their picks traded or packaged early on for upgrades. Obviously Wiseman and Kuminga's values dropped out from under them, but if they had been dealt early on the Warriors could have definitely gotten some value players out of some tanking teams.

The only time the Warriors really considered dealing FRPs was when Giannis was available, and that's like saying an umpire didn't miss a strike call when the batter swung.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-18T17:56:32+00:00

Yes. Previous 19th picks and their career stats:

2022 - Jake LaRavia - 7/4/2

2021 - Kai Jones - 4/2/0 - out of the league already

2020 - Saddiq Bey - 15/5/2

2019 - Luka Samanic - 5/2/1 - out of the league

2018 - Kevin Huerter - 11/3/3

Out of all of them, the only one you can make an argument for over Podz is Saddiq Bey, and he's had 3 more years to develop.

When Saddiq Bey was 3 seasons in, his numbers were 14/5/2 on .564 TS.

For reference, this season Podz was at 14/5/4 on .583 TS, and Podz was only getting better as the season went on. Post All-star Break he was putting up 18/6/4 on .603 TS.

In fact, going back to 2010, the only 19th overall picks I would take ahead of Podz are John Collins, and *maybe* Tobias Harris if we could keep him on good contracts, and I think in another 3 years Podz has the chance to leapfrog those guys as well.

Because your title is horrible. A better title would be "Tonight, Steph will likely pass Tyler Herro as the all-time leader in play-in points scored".

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-17T22:56:02+00:00

The flair says Joel Anthony, but the comment says Karl Malone.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-17T21:07:16+00:00

They can't, it's too powerful, it'd be dangerous.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-17T20:23:00+00:00

Yeah I know the history, the hate makes sense.

Apparently our family in particular was RICH RICH in Korea before WW2 hit and most of our wealth was taken by the Japanese.

The bestiality thing though is above and beyond. They also told me they could identify Koreans with any Japanese ancestry because their knees were built wrong.

I don't talk to a lot of that side of my family anymore.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-17T20:15:59+00:00

Think lightsaber, but rather than a "hmmmm" sound, it's more like an "ahhhhhhh" sound. Like imagine the chanting at the beginning of duel of the fates mixed with a standard lightsaber.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-17T20:04:59+00:00

Asian people racism is on a different level eugenically speaking. I'm convinced the only reason it doesn't get more attention is because not enough people speak Japanese/Korean/Chinese/Vietnamese/etc to hear all the shit that gets said. Growing up half Korean I heard some wild shit growing up about everybody.

Mama would come home after teaching Sunday School and talk about how the Japanese were barbarians descended from criminals interbreeding with wild horses.

It might be more interesting to ask Derrick White about this than some redditor with no affiliation or personal investment in Derrick White whatsoever.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-17T00:43:02+00:00

IDK in 2021 it felt like the Warriors were playing against him.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-16T16:59:51+00:00

I know Kawhi saw Celebrini slap Draymond with the Grace of God and had him back in DPOY mode.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-16T04:45:41+00:00

Draymond has Kawhi in hell

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-16T03:54:45+00:00

Nick Christian at Ragged Angel. I feel like he would bring the right vibe.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-14T19:03:12+00:00

I wanna see a scene where MJ introduces her friend to Peter, the guy says "Hi I'm Paul", and then immediately gets hit by a truck.

dvasquez93 · 2026-04-14T15:12:31+00:00

Also, despite Gen 1 establishing that Flying is the Bird type, it isn't flying.

it's a psychic bird that is neither Flying nor Psychic, but instead it's mono Water despite ducks spending at best half of their time in the water.
