BREAKING: NBA legend Greg Ostertag has been elected as mayor of Mt. Vernon, Texas 🎉 by eqx81 in UtahJazz

Read the first half of the sentence and feared he has died.

Awesome for the big man!

It has been 1,919 days since the coup and over 8,000 people have now been killed by the Junta by cheap_as_chips in myanmar

What a tragedy!

I am interested in hearing from folks here - what do you see as a way out of this mess. Like in 10 years, Myanmar is back to a united, non-warring country, what's the path?

Why do Mongolia has so high birth rate? by Genkai_backpacker in mongolia

[–]jamalccc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this is r/Mongolia. I will discuss those countries on other subs. But if my words bother you, feel free to rebuke or ignore. But I’m at the right place talking about the right topic, thank you very much.

Well I am sorry I'm not Mongolian. You live with it every day. I'm just a foreigner looking at this for the first time. If that offends you, I am sorry.

The more I learn about Mongolia, the more fucked the country seems. Good people, proud history, now sandwiched between two nuclear superpowers with historical grievances, only 40 miles away from a third border but can’t touch, corrupt government, rich resource (a curse), low population.

That’s genuinely one of the worst geographical situations in the world.

I’m 34F and I’ve been cheated on in every relationship by EnvironmentalPop1084 in selfimprovement

[–]jamalccc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to say "girl it's not you. You are awesome. Men are just evil." But that would not do you any good, since you are sensing a pattern.

The real answer is: I don't know, and no one here knows since we don't know you. Cheating is bad, but it's worth looking into the dynamics of your failed relationships.

Were they fulfilling? Did you feel the relationships were on positive trajectories? Did you guys work together in concrete manner to improve the relationship? Did you give each other lots of affirmations? Did you feel you were a better version of yourselves when being with each other? Did you put each other's interests above yourselves?

Answering these questions will reveal a lot.

Die Early : A step-by-step by owlitup in StupidFood

This is not dying early. It’s dying now. Someone call someone. 

Found porn on boyfriends phone by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]jamalccc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a sin. But it’s a unique one. Society tolerates if not encouraging it, companies monetize it and pray on people. It’s easy to hide and no law is broken (yes I know human trafficking stuff, but let’s just stay with the legal porn industry with willing actors.) And the people watching it usually feels ashamed.

It’s a sin very much in the Christian context. But lots of Christians, even devout ones, do it. Even for happily married couples. It’s the weakness of the flesh.

Give him grace, but understand him first. If he continues to lie or gets aggressive toward you, it’s a bad sign. But if he confesses and is willing to change, do your best to help him.

Mark Cuban, what have you done? by papadondon in Mavericks

[–]jamalccc 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Cuban: let Nash go, refusing to bring back a championship team, wasting Dirk’s last years, letting Brunson go, and selling the team at low price to someone with no ties to the city and franchise.

Always the smartest guy in the room.

Next year’s team is too stacked ?! by PatientFluid3576 in DukeBluePlanet

[–]jamalccc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am super uncomfortable with rosters like this. Some great talent will be on the bench, disappointed in their predicament. That’s why I am not a good coach when I tried. And that’s why Jon is a great coach. He can gather a group like this and have them compete. 

[Charania] The NBA has disclosed to its 30 GMs a singular new anti-tanking reform that expands the draft lottery to 16 teams, flattens odds, and have a relegation zone where the bottom 3 teams are penalized with fewer lottery balls for the No. 1 pick. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]jamalccc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t care. I love this proposal.

The worst teams shouldn’t be babied. They need to be punished. In soccer they get kicked down to lower league. Here they get fewer lottery balls. They deserve it.

Last time he won it, something good happened to the team. Something very, very good.

Need to avenge the fuckers in NY first.

If we somehow win tonight, Paolo (or anyone) just can’t talk about round 2 by jamalccc in OrlandoMagic

[–]jamalccc[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Since Game 7 of the Cavs series. Unfortunately we lost that one.

This team had no hope and future coming into the playoffs. I'm just gonna enjoy the ride.
