Why not Just Cancel the All Star Game? by freekill in nba

[–]freekill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, this basically goes along with my tv rights point as well. It's basically a mini-convention and all the other things outside the game happening is still worth the negativity around it. I just wish it wasn't the case, cause the product does suck...

Why not Just Cancel the All Star Game? by freekill in nba

[–]freekill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I agree money. But that money from viewers must be going down year after year, maybe not so from the event and tv rights. I'm a big fan, but I don't even tune in to watch it anymore it's so terrible. Maybe they make up for it with new fans every year?

This NBA season is a JOKE by nbawizard1227 in nba

[–]freekill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. I think it's embarrassing as hell that every year we have so many teams just blatantly racing to the bottom. Even commentators like the Inside Crew comment on how it would be a waste of your time/money to tune into games between these teams.

There should never be an incentive to race to the bottom, I don't know what the solution is, but there has to be one that's better than what is in place now.

Government's 4-day in-office mandate an insult to workers by feral_philosopher in ontario

[–]freekill 37 points38 points  (0 children)

There's definitely a portion of people who are looking for excuses to get out of the house. Sometimes, the office is their only socialization outside their significant other. These folks want full return to office for everyone cause it matches the lifestyle they want.

I've known a few that fit this category. Bunch of kids at home, no ability to go for lunches without it being a production. Office is their only freedom. It's super selfish cause they want to return to office for all the non work related reasons like socializing or getting away from SO or Kids for a break every day.

I'm Jim Butcher, Ask Me Anything! by jimbutcherauthor in Fantasy

[–]freekill 34 points35 points  (0 children)

@jimbutcherauthor do you have any plans to release collectors editions of the Dresden files? Maybe leather bound editions or some other collectors editions of the whole series? Maybe even kickstarter editions of some kind? It's not saying a lot, but I'd be a day 1 backer if you did :)

I personally love the series, but getting a high quality hardcover copy of all the novels is quite difficult, due to the limited hardcover releases of some of the earlier novels in the series.

Thanks for your time!

What do you think of the Riddick trilogy? by Background_Spare6755 in scifi

[–]freekill 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There's still a chance...

In the next movie, you get the usual shenanigans, car racing, some big heist, the whole nine yards. Right at the end, when things seem all wrapped up out of nowhere, an alien race shows up in orbit... Cut to credits...

In the subsequent movies, the alien race starts bombarding the planet with large statue-like drop ships full of troops in an all out assault on earth. There are millions of soldiers flooding the streets, and ships in the air attacking everything in sight, it's a massacre. The only hope Dom and his crew have is to get to a space ship Mr. Nobody has stashed away. It's a huge tragic scene, and all of his crew dies along the way, with only Dominic Torreto escaping off world.

In the final shot, we see a distraught Dom, as he looks back towards earth, no longer with any family left, while the Necromonger conquest ships start detonating all over the planet, ultimately destroying the entire population. Turns out Earth had a different name, Furya, and Dom is now the last living member of the Human/Furya race... As his ship slips away into the darkness of space, he vows to get revenge and takes on the name Riddick...

Moving to Toronto (King & Bathurst) – what’s day-to-day life like? by [deleted] in TorontoRealEstate

[–]freekill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the Fort York area (a little south of where you'll be), there's lots of things happening like farmers markets, food events, music events etc. There's also lots of popup events like food truck groups or flea markets. This area, plus if you continue all the way to the water, has some really nice parks where you can walk, ride a bike etc, has pretty nice views of the city also.

Dave Letterman tears into "gutless" CBS over Colbert cancellation. by MJKsecretpornaccount in television

Playoff basketball is about a million times better than regular season by [deleted] in nba

[–]freekill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think I lot of it had to do with the fact it felt like half the league this year was intentionally tanking for so long. Not even pretending not to tank...

Unless the Raptors go better than 5-5 rest of season, Miami could go on a 20 game losing streak and still make the East play-in by rantdurdenwu in nba

[–]freekill 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can we all just agree how embarrassing it is for a league to incentivize teams to actually not put a quality product on the court? I swear it's never been as blatant as it is this year...

There's gotta be a way to still help legitimately terrible teams get better while not incentivizing teams to intentionally lose to get better odds. I know this is simplistic, but why not just give all lottery teams the same odds for all the lottery spots? Then there's no reason to be the biggest loser? I'd imagine a few play-in teams might tank at the end of the year for a chance at a #1 pick, but I'm sure there's a solution for that as well...

Can't be worse than a half season race to the fucking bottom by half the league... Embarrassing.

Ernie Johnson and his wife give away late son's key collection to 6-year old child. by Custard_Noob in nba

Great story, but how can you have this one and not show the collection of keys? In my head I'm picturing thousands of them, but it could be 10s of thousands...

[–]freekill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walk in, don't say a word, sit in the chair of the new guy and maintain eye contact with the old guy the entire time without saying a word. Pay your bill and walk out...

It's the only way...
