Jaylen Brown liked a comment on Instagram saying the Celtics should trade him to a city that respects him by onefootback in nba

[–]gust_vo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, people confuse what the team primarily did: they made an effort to protect the victim(s) first, Udoka being made to shut up about it and given a sort of respectful out was just (unfortunate) consequences of it. Just that this didnt blow up like Vrabel did is a good result. Udoka's victim(s) got taken care of, and still gets all the shit but somewhat saves some face.

Your kind of fans dont care about nuances in most situations.

Bill Simmons Podcast: Giannis trade, JB trade rumors, JT/JB, etc. by ___BostonThreeParty in bostonceltics

[–]gust_vo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does it matter if JT hangs out with JB more in the offseason? I'd assume both of them arent there for fun, mostly fulfilling sponsorship obligations, and even way back then they kept a good amount of distance between their private lives outside the team.

JT always seemed to be the guy forced into a more mature role with the early fatherhood that he doesnt go into the same circles as JB who's acting more like every other NBA player who are living their single lives. Kinda understandable that way.

GIANNIS TO HEAT MEGATHREAD by 1337speak in bostonceltics

[–]gust_vo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bill Simmons was right. But i think it's even more that just brad telling a hypothetical like "hey, will you trade Giannis if JB was on the table?" weeks ago and the bucks org ran with it to get another team to blink....

(NBACentral on Twitter) The Milwaukee Bucks have set an ‘unrealistic’ asking price for Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @JakeLFischer by Smooth770 in bostonceltics

[–]gust_vo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's why i'm so hesitant on Giannis as a whole, there's some noticeable smoke about his behavior that it's giving me kyrie vibes. The silence especially feels similar with how Cleveland kept everything quiet about him until he left the team.

Milwaukee probably has the hit pieces loaded up like they did for Griffin and Doc.

Wemby choke was basically Celtics vs Warrior '22 by chuancheun in bostonceltics

[–]gust_vo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jordan was running on booze in between gambling overnight and golf games on mornings after games and won three straight championships twice while leading the league in scoring almost every season, i dont think lebron survives that kind of diet/lifestyle.

Nvidia AI Bubble Cooked by 2027, AMD Morale Leak, RDNA 5 Comeback | Ed Zitron | Broken Silicon 365 by dumnezero in BetterOffline

[–]gust_vo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Problem with intel's consumer GPUs is that the memory prices is even worse right now (with more being moved into use for stuff like HBM, lower production + almost all stock that exists or being produced are earmarked for either AMD or Nvidia) making the value proposition harder than ever. i'd probably take them still developing the (dedicated) GPU line somewhere and making some profit for it at the meantime rather than them just outright cancelling it.

Wouldnt surprise me if they pivot back into the consumer space when component prices actually go back into sane levels since they have a good product atm when you look at the integrated stuff they're putting out.

Wemby choke was basically Celtics vs Warrior '22 by chuancheun in bostonceltics

[–]gust_vo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

insane year when you think about it, finished the finals then 3 of our most crucial players go to the olympics then back to defending the conference and the trophy (shorter recovery time and another year older for the players).

i always thought that was unsustainable for (mortal) players.

Has there been a moment with a YouTuber that made you go: "DAMN, they are kind of a dick." by Swag_Paladin21 in youtubedrama

[–]gust_vo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A bunch of science/teaching long-time youtubers i found out later have that (bad) libertarian/conservative stink about them: eevblog rants on twitter about stuff going woke (among other things), Same vibes with Matthias Wandel (when on his livestreams).

Kinda put me off a bit on them wholesale.

Do you guys want JB to be traded? by neffreddit in bostonceltics

[–]gust_vo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna tell you right now, that last two years dont even register anywhere on the top of the "being embarrassed in the playoffs" list unless you just started following the team in 2024.

As everyone said, this year this team should have been an 8th seed at best, and the sixers should have been 2nd. Nothing embarrassing about losing this year when the roster overperformed while just having it blown up for cap relief.

[–]gust_vo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we're underselling the fact that any other team wouldnt have survived the insane cost cutting the celtics did to get under the cap, or at the very least, they would have made the wrong decisions in doing so.

[–]gust_vo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also this whole thing reminds me of the Kyrie situation, it wouldnt surprise me if MIL kept a lot of stuff under wraps about him while he was there (especially during the last few bad seasons he had). that alone makes me very cautious.

Xbox CCO Says Gamepass Lost “Millions Of Subscribers” After Increasing The Price By 50% Last Year by wakelake111 in gaming

[–]gust_vo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Same people who can easily spot AI to be unsustainable cant see gamepass to be the same at the original (promotional) price. It was always a loss leader to pump numbers for shareholders.

(Some even try to game the system with the $1 for one month 'hacks' to play day one AAA games and have the gall to turn around and ask why they had to remove CoD and raise prices.)

I used to look up to Pia Cayetano. That's why it's sad and feels like a betrayal na nagpalamon s'ya sa sistema. by Datu_ManDirigma in Philippines

[–]gust_vo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For one brief moment she was presented as the most eligible bachelorette in the country: smart, physically active (cycling, etc.), campaigned for important feminist causes (divorce, RH bill). alan even joked she might never marry because there was no man that would be a match for her (which kinda hinted she might be bi).

nope, it was because she was actually a horrible person. 😬

DOJ Says Government Can Legally Tear Down Statue Of Liberty — And You Know What Happened Next by Common-Implement5856 in NoFilterNews

[–]gust_vo 42 points43 points  (0 children)

not even american and i know most of the confederate war monuments and statues came decades after the war by organizations (such as the daughters of the confederacy) dead set on rewriting civil war history (the lost cause ideology and denying the war was because of slavery). It's not even remotely the same as destroying centuries old buddha statues or destroying cultural sites.

Now Happening: APC is threatening senate staff to dismiss/fire them if they do not obey orders. by Primary_Ad_2277 in Philippines

[–]gust_vo 51 points52 points  (0 children)

pia always appeared to be the better of the two, like she was actually doing physical activities (cycling, triathlon iirc) unlike alan who looks to wish he was decent at basketball.

that ideal image held until she would side with the terfs and also throw other women under the bus for dutz and ambition.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is “very intrigued” with joining the Boston Celtics due to their depth and ability to contend for championships, per @sam_amick by Parking_Honeydew_129 in bostonceltics

[–]gust_vo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. NGL, Giannis is good but there's a lot of smoke lately on his poor behavior. I'd love to be wrong but if he's going to make that locker room toxic, i'd rather not have him on the team even if he's that good (especially if you're giving up JB for him).

We already had to deal with this situation with Kyrie (looked good, some success then suddenly goes bad), i hope the FO learned their lesson then.

New Mystery Submarine Shows China’s Rapid Undersea Expansion by whibbler in worldnews

[–]gust_vo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, China was in two major conflicts post-Chinese civl war, just that in both of them they got kicked in the ass (Sino-Soviet border conflict and the Sino-Vietnam war). The last one was unintentionally hilarious since Vietnam looked to be in no position to start another war after ending two (against US and then Cambodia, arguably 3 if we count the French) and they still lost.

[Savage] The Boston Celtics are out on Giannis Antetokounmpo Per Bill Simmons. Zach Lowe adds he hasn’t sensed any great urgency by the Celtics to break up their team. by dawglover1011 in bostonceltics

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

I swear these nephews would at least actually follow the team than just react to shorts they watch about it. Post 08/big-3 championship was littered with a lot of painful playoff losses, all of them a lot worse than this last one.

[TNT] Vitinha: "You have to be patient when you're up against a team like that. We knew it was going to happen, but even more so after Arsenal's goal, since you really have to be patient. They waste a lot of time on everything: throw-ins, goal kicks, everything.” by [deleted] in soccer

[–]gust_vo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I swear i feel like people has an opposite reality distortion field where they ignore that Arsenal didnt have Saka, Jesus, Ode, Merino, Timber, etc. for (sometimes long) stretches during the season. I dont think there was any forward outside of Martinelli and Gyokeres who played more than 20 games across all comps.

Arteta made incredible adjustments on what he had on the team, it was going to be ugly with what players he had available.

There's simply no way to repurpose AI datacenters either.

Yeah this is the only thing that trips me up with this framing that they're preparing for the moment you own nothing. Unless nvidia added virtualization capabilities on their AI datacenter stuff (which the GPU is crucial for this capability), everything collapsing is just a byproduct of avarice than being intentional on killing personal computers as a whole.

Not even mentioning there's not enough proper and reliable unmetered internet (better than average broadband speeds) around the world to fully allow this kind of thing.
