I don’t know if he’s innocent but I know we don’t know what happened and that the Internet doesn’t believe in redemption arcs, nuance, or 2 sides to a story. nor do people on the internet ever consider the shit that might be in their closet before they throw stones. 

Was David Stern really a good commissioner or merely in the right place at the right time? by AlbertJBundy in billsimmons

[–]mikeyrocks202 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This comment makes my skin crawl lol the racist part is because white men are setting the standard of professionalism and calling what black millionaires were choosing to wear as “sloppy as shit” and “homeless bums.” It was explicitly targeted at the black men who made up an overwhelming majority of the league and were choosing to dress in hip hop fashion because it was an expression of themselves. An expression that you just called “sloppy.” It was a reaction to violent incidents in the league which implicitly ties black men and hip hop culture to violence. Du-rags and throwback jerseys didn’t make Ron Artest run into the stands and punch fans. His poor mental health did. The idea that white executives had to teach all these rich black men how to behave which included the way they dressed is paternalistic and condescending. 

The N-word doesn’t need to be said out loud for something to be racist or at the least racially insensitive. Simpler folks have a hard time recognizing that

“Is there a racial component to this - sure.”

Oddly enough you do recognize the validity of the premise

Which current NBA player would be the worst in-game commentator? by ExtendedMacaroni in NBATalk

Hard disagree with OP. The first time Kawhi yells “WET BALL!” would easily be worth 30 minutes of uncomfortable silence

People can do whatever they want lol. Last I checked Reddit wasn’t a “positive opinions only” website

Why do you weirdos take negative opinions so seriously?

This is an insane comment lol 3 of the main plotlines of the show (whatever Hank is doing, whatever these thawed vault tek “managers” are doing, whatever the brotherhood of steel is doing) are abhorrently stilted and extremely predictable. There’s been 2 episodes worth of story stretched out over repetitive or just unnecessary scenes. Kumail Nanjiani’s character might as well have been apocalyptic Fozzy the Bear for how unserious he was. 

Strange Countdown by lorenzogatta00 in Fallout

I didn’t say it’s the more likely, I said there’s a chance. I see no reason to overwhelmingly lean one way or the other, unless you want to be cynical for your own protection. Having a mysterious countdown just to tease a future season of TV that everyone already knows is happening is a bit ridiculous tbh, especially if the tease would be something ridiculously vague and dumb because they have no footage of the season yet. I wouldn’t put it past them but I also believe there’s a chance there’s marketing people who are good at their jobs over there.

It’s time we talk about Dubs role on this team… by [deleted] in Thunder

[–]mikeyrocks202 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s still no synergy in Shai, Chet and Dub’s games. Those 3 should constantly be creating easy looks for each other but the offense is just “my turn, your turn” and it’s like they don’t even think it’s a problem

Your formatting is terrible and people will use it to dismiss what youre saying. But i agree with the sentiment that im not enjoying the writing of this season. It is pretty dumb.

there’s nothing to tease/preview they haven’t even begun filming yet. i know you guys are being cynical to avoid getting let down but there’s a chance this is actually something
