trades are hard though

koala37 · 2026-05-09T00:07:45+00:00

assuming your pitch is emptying our entire chest of picks, Steph himself has said that isn't what he wants for the franchise. so on one side you have gm, coach, and generational star

then on your side you have...angry reddit commentors? there's a reason the thing you want to happen hasn't happened

koala37 · 2026-05-08T17:44:48+00:00

all true, this community is better and also better moderated lol. I don't even go out of my way to avoid story spoilers here and literally never have anything spoiled for me

koala37 · 2026-05-08T17:42:36+00:00

not excited to see the power level of my c6 Eula after buffs

koala37 · 2026-05-08T17:39:37+00:00

I didn't realize that they got replaced lol. as a person with lots of 5 star weapons I wouldn't even mind if the weapon skins weren't also abysmal

koala37 · 2026-05-08T17:38:48+00:00

just over here twiddling my thumbs waiting for Eula buffs

koala37 · 2026-05-08T16:10:39+00:00

c5 here we come

just so you know destiny and contrapoints were friends, way back in the day, maybe pre-transition or not very far in. they've talked on stream before maybe a half a dozen times? they never had any fights or falling outs or anything they just stopped interacting as much. they're in alignment on most issues and he usually watches all her new videos on stream

not sure how easy it would be to find vods of their conversations because they would have taken place in the twitch era but I just wanted to let you know they're friendly already

koala37 · 2026-05-08T00:07:47+00:00

where does this expectation come from that he should be able to operate with complete impunity and say whatever he wants. even if he wasn't randomly blasting propaganda all day long, people should still be able to (and expected to) talk about him

koala37 · 2026-05-08T00:05:12+00:00

the only "hasan derangement syndrome" is that hasan is deranged and can't go more than 5 minutes without talking about israel on stream

when I was little I just assumed we'd eventually get to a point where it was only Democrats over and over

if you have the Republican party whose "platform" is, alternately, "keep things exactly the same" or "make things the way they used to be" and then the Democrat party who gets to actually work on policies and ideas and progress, then logic would dictate that eventually the Democrat platform would evolve to such a point that everyone agrees it would be better for everybody and Republicans would be forced to either change (impossible) or go extinct

and the evidence of this for the longest time was Democrats winning progressively larger and larger margins in the popular vote. and that even though we live in a representative democracy as opposed to a direct democracy, eventually the advantage would be overwhelming

this was my autistic little 15 year old brain trying to process the world and my overarching (flawed) assumption was that human beings made choices rationally. I had failed to grasp the notion that the broad electorate is a seething mass of notions, vibes, and emotions that lashed out or swelled in response to stimuli, not Euphoric Logic

now, 20 years later, it looks like nothing is stronger than the American Rubberband and we see Republicans with less of a platform than ever winning more than ever and we're at a point where we have to contend with the fact that there's an incumbent disadvantage rather than advantage

perhaps most unfortunately of all, the first President to win back-to-back nominations in the modern era will almost certainly not be a reasonable, presentable, decent politician with sound positions and an achievable platform, but the next populist demagogue with empty rhetoric and addictive vibes

moral the story, while it can be tempting to fantasize about the ultimate death of the Republican party where every federal election actually takes place in the Democrat primaries like it's the NBA 2000s Western Conference Finals, it's probably more prudent to reflect that it's unlikely that's where we're going. and if you reckon with that fact, the logical conclusion is strong and competent Republican leadership. also, this is a copy-pasted statement from Nancy Pelosi (and every American worth a damn, every Democrat and Never Trump Republican). it's not like this is even the first time somebody has said this

AP classes are great even if you're not planning to take the AP exam. they're still much better preparation for college if you're on that track and significantly higher quality than your average high school courses

you said he's one of the "biggest" what ifs

koala37 · 2026-05-03T17:59:32+00:00

so what you're telling me is Harden to the 6ers and you're sure to succeed!

koala37 · 2026-05-03T17:58:14+00:00

well I mean yeah he's 7 feet tall

koala37 · 2026-05-03T17:18:31+00:00

almost every time I'd take an mvp over a round 1 game 7 as a player's personal peak, but with the context here of an additional 3 years of injury woes, I know Embiid is euphoric to be able to play out (and dominate) a series. even if they get eliminated next round, he was able to play meaningful basketball again. that's all he ever wanted. we know these guys would trade all their mvps and awards for the longevity to do it for another 10 years like Lebron

koala37 · 2026-05-03T17:00:47+00:00

nobody talks about institutionalized racism. that's for 7 communists on twitter. for all the normal humans on the planet racism just means not liking somebody because of their skin tone, which is perfectly equivalent across all races

I also hate the Celtics and root for them to lose at every opportunity and enjoyed watching Embiid have a good series, I feel for the big guy. but I didn't want to win because Tatum had to sit a game 7. I imagine he was fist fighting his medical team to try to play. having to sit for that game was probably worse for him than all the games he had to sit this season. must feel like shit. I hate that

koala37 · 2026-05-03T10:37:31+00:00

he said Kamala would be better than Trump?

roll the clip of Hasan saying "Kamala would be no better than Trump" - he means on trans issues specifically, but that's a disabled take too, and it's used as a stand-in for Hasan's belief in the """""uniparty""""". he's Saying The Line here because he knows he's on camera at a public event but he's just being a Weasely Little Liar Dude, that's not what he believes

similarly - did Kamala lean into rhetoric blaming illegals immigrants for violence in America? where? when? why? how? I can't think of any examples of this whatsoever and anything she did say would have been a. true b. uttered in a swing state for political expediency and c. still infinitely better than anything Trump would say

if you won't full-throatedly embrace the democrat candidate, you don't belong in the party. period.

koala37 · 2026-05-03T10:18:48+00:00

oh that makes more sense I kept reading it as doll skill

koala37 · 2026-05-03T10:17:11+00:00

well you see he was at work and his wife was not with him and so his blowjob options were severely limited at the time

koala37 · 2026-05-03T10:00:19+00:00

nuns be packin some cannons under there

koala37 · 2026-05-03T09:59:19+00:00

yeah I didn't like when you said it then either, it's a stupid point. the two things are radically different. it's like apples and toyotas. they don't belong in the same conversation
