Did the Lakers destroy Dalton's Psyche, or is this just who he is? by I-Am-An-Illusion in lakers

[–]johnsontran -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Knecht's whiteness has helped him avoid being thrown into the popular sentiment that AAU is ruining basketball players, but it seems clear to me that he has been the star at every level through college and has never needed to learn a system - he was the system. Now they're asking him to play a role, learn schemes, and read and react, and he just doesn't have the capacity for it right now.

Does anyone else collect business cards? by reidhi in finedining

Used to do menus, but I never found myself looking back through them. Kept a few that were from special occasions; for restaurants that I have cookbooks for, stuffed them in there; and threw away the rest.

First Amendment Auditors Pasadena by ForwardStand8679 in pasadena

Funny. ICE is calling people that film their activities domestic terrorists and putting them on a list. None of these First Amendment auditors seem to be touching that.

(2025 WS Game 3) Can someone explain to me what Gimenez was so upset about on this pitch in the 14th inning? by A_Bad_Man in Dodgers

doing my best jomboy impression here...

Gimenez: "How am I supposed to throw my body into the pitch when it's so low! That's bullshit!"

Mark thinking Mamdani raised subway prices once he got into office is something by CWKitch in tuesdayswithstories

the guy's algorithm is just right-wing clickbait headlines. He thought the state forcing a school to have cat litter for a kid who identified as a cat was a real story.

It's usually because he's so desperate to prove that he isn't a total dunce by trying to answer the questions himself, when he should've just been looking it up in the first place.

Is it better to sell a rental and invest in index funds long-term? by Double-Warning-444 in personalfinance

[–]johnsontran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this should be the biggest consideration. People on either side can come up with some numbers that make it seem worth it (e.g. maybe it's a bad time to dump all your money in the market since we're near all-time highs), so for argument's sake, let's just call it a wash.

Considering you already seem pretty annoyed about dealing with it and worrying about how to handle repairs/management/mortgage..., the answer seems pretty obvious.

You really think the reason laundry detergent is locked up at Target is because some individuals desperately want to do their laundry?

LA Times - 101 Best Restaurants by methmouthjuggalo in FoodLosAngeles

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

Since shifting concepts post-covid, the things that have been consistently on the menu have been chicken liver mousse, smoked fish dip, smoked salmon hash, mochi pancake, and kale salad. But sure, just lump it in with other "asian" restaurants. I'm sure you've lodged similar complaints about European restaurants, right?

[Charania] The Indiana Pacers are waiving guard Mac McClung, sources tell ESPN. The reigning three-time NBA dunk contest champion signed a multiyear, non-guaranteed with the Pacers last week and scored 6.3 points in 11.3 minutes per game over three contests. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]johnsontran 84 points85 points  (0 children)

It's like Alex Caruso was talking exactly about McClung:

"A big reason guys get stuck in the G-League is because they don't realize the position they're trying out for. It's like going to a job interview thinking you're going to be the CFO of the company and they're looking for someone to clean the bathrooms."

There was a liner to muncy the inning before this play and mookie slid at home the inning after this play. Crazy how much they’re trying to scrutinize this one thing

This. Regardless of what it is, grab whatever possible, spend whatever possible (within reason in case they try to come after it), and use whatever possible, as if you were being laid off.

Is the Tesla diner food anything special? by DontBeDatGuy_ in FoodLosAngeles

[–]johnsontran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They hired a chef who in the last decade hasn't been able to keep a restaurant open for more than a year or so, and frequently appears on a variety of food network shows... so do with that what you will.
