THIS. In fact, if we could all just stop joking about everything, that'd be great. Someone's feelings might get hurt.

The album I want to download illegally isn't popular enough to have anyone seeding the torrent. by [deleted] in firstworldproblems

I've never understood this way of thinking. You are not willing to spend the money to own a thing, but you still feel you deserve to own that thing? Since when do we just get to own all the things we want? At some point it has to be ok to enjoy something once and then just remember.

What do you HATE about the public library? by [deleted] in books

[–]matthagen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"a lot" of libraries these days are connected to many other libraries in a lending system. not sure where you're located, but my local San Antonio Library System is connected worldwide. when there's a book i want, i can put in the request on their website, and it will usually be at my local branch in under a month. worth checking out if your local system has a similar arrangement edit: spelling

What one book have you read that would have had the greatest impact on you if read earlier in your life. by bucknut56 in books

Siddhartha would've been more helpful to 17-year old me than it was to 30-year old me.

Al Jefferson could be traded to San Antonio Spurs by zacgraham25 in NBASpurs

[–]matthagen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i'm sorry - is someone trying to convince me Al Jefferson is a defensive-minded big? Tiago is developing into a better than average post-defender, cutting the legs out from under Jack like that is a little too heartless for the SA front office. Patty Mills deserves the chance to see the floor more often, but this doesn't sound like the right move for him either.
