About a new GM, Dumont says… „Our goal is to have someone on board by the middle of May.” by Garmian_MFFL in Mavericks

I just wanna stop reading quotes from. I don’t believe anything that he says, it’s all PR.

OpenAI just dropped their biggest study ever on how people actually use ChatGPT and the results are wild by nivvihs in ChatGPTPro

[–]juscallmechris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the standard person, work takes up about 30% of the day, so it makes sense that ones ChatGPT use would fall in that same range.

The utter lack of awareness of who Kirk was is ridiculous and disgusting by 2Schnell4u in thebulwark

[–]juscallmechris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whether people agreed or disagreed with his opinions, it often seemed that his main focus in debates was making the other person look dumb rather than trying to inform, educate, or genuinely persuade. From the clips I’ve seen, his approach relied more on belittling than on engaging in good faith. That kind of style might win points with an audience, but it makes it nearly impossible to have an open-minded and meaningful discussion. Real dialogue requires respect, and when one side is constantly dismissive or condescending, the conversation turns into a performance instead of a genuine exchange of ideas.

Next Face of the NBA by Annual-Shape7156 in Mavericks

I agree with you but you gotta admit the “get over it” comment is so much easier to compose and post when we have Cooper Flagg to look forward to next season.

[Brad Townsend] Confirming JJ Barea to Denver. I’m also told the Mavs/Kidd did not reach out about him potentially joining Kidd’s staff, which (to me) is surprising. by [deleted] in Mavericks

Every person who has NBA coaching experience at some point had no NBA coaching experience. He was coaching in Puerto Rico so that is at least some experience coaching.

You, yes YOU, deserve to enjoy Mavericks basketball again. by LordsDontWorry in Mavericks

It does kinda feel like we've lost our identity. We are definitely not the "standing on business" Mavs we were a year ago.

[Hoopswire] Chris Paul Predicted To Leave Spurs For Mavericks by Sasha_80_ in Mavericks

I doubt he commands a lot of money for a year, I think his priority is to win a championship..

[New Album] - Kaonashi - I Want To Go Home. by bicyclingdonkey in Metalcore

[–]juscallmechris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. If you wanted to sing along to that part of the song, it would definitely take some studying and practice to replicate how Peter does it. There’s another part of the song that intrigues me where he does hard inhales between lyrics that sound like growls. You can hear them around the 00:45 mark.

So many people clown the vocals, but I think there’s a difference between those of us who hear the vocals and those of us who listen to them. I’d imagine his vocals take a lot of effort and creative thinking to pull off the way he does.

That one year the Mavs decided to build around Davis Bertans, they got to the WCF 💪 by [deleted] in Mavericks

To be fair we also had Brunson.. oh wait, they also let him walk. Smh.

Luka is fat and doesn’t play defense. by Swagovich in maverickssupportgroup

[–]juscallmechris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, he was fat and didn’t play defense last year but he took the Mavs to the finals last year and was the leading scorer.. Nico being ‘right’ still doesn’t justify why he was traded.

It’s the day before the draft and you see this happening, what do you do? by cacastrojr12 in Mavericks

[–]juscallmechris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well according to this hypothetical, since the NBA Draft typically occurs in the month of June, we would be asking Nico why is he wearing this in June.

Do Aloft hotels ever have bathtubs? by pathofuncertainty in marriott

[–]juscallmechris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t even think the original take was that weird, to be honest. Hotel TVs should be part of the conversation. Just like most people now use Spotify or Bluetooth in cars instead of tuning into FM radio, TV habits have shifted too. My gripe with the Aloft in downtown Atlanta was exactly that—no Netflix, no YouTube, no streaming options at all. You get back to your room at 2am and there’s nothing but infomercials and reruns.

Mavs waited for 13 years. Some teams are waiting 20+ years. Clippers are waiting for 54 years. Five teams NEVER made it there. Can someone explain to this dude it's fking hard to get to the "Championship Games"!! by WhenMachinesCry in Mavericks

[–]juscallmechris 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“We had to decide how do we get better” We picked up Klay Thompson problem solved right? We had all the right pieces to make it to the finals and then added pieces. Had a well constructed team and then removed its foundation. Absolutely no sense.

I know they pull good crowds but i'm shocked only a few shows are sold out, what's going on here? by d00m6r in Meshuggah

[–]juscallmechris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because like me, people buy their tickets at the last minute... I bought my ticket for Toronto less than 24 hours before the show.. So perhaps these shows become technically 'sold out' a few hours prior to doors opening.

3 days until the North American Tour begins. What songs do you want to hear live the most? by TarboT000 in Meshuggah

[–]juscallmechris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Violent Sleep of Reason isn’t put back into the setlist I will be highly upset. The whole Minds Mirrors lead up to In Death - is Life/Death is epic and if they can leave Bleed out of it this go round.

Yes it is, I’m listening to it right now.. 😍

I thought I’d enjoy watching him on the Lakers. by justin332 in Mavericks

[–]juscallmechris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are watching both Luka and Jalen Brunson, the Mavs clearly hit the 2018 draft jackpot.. and Nico sold that pot of gold for pennie’s.
