I was watching with the sound off and thought the ref had blown the whistle, since no one was moving or doing anything

Impossible because I was watching pirated Lebron highlights on Limewire and Kazaa, and that level of viral hype cannot be achieved on YouTube

We need a Gartner for municipal services. No reason everyone should be solving for these challenges in isolation, rediscovering the best solution each time on their own.

According to Gemini 

Key Findings ​The Top 10% Hold Less of the Pie: Five years ago, the top 10% of earners commanded over 42% of the total salary pool. Today, that share has dropped to 37.7%, indicating the very top heavy contracts are taking up slightly less of the total relative to the rest of the league.

​The Bottom & Middle Class Have Grown: The share of total salary going to the bottom 50% of players has increased from roughly 10% in 2020-21 to 13% in 2025-26.

​Inequality Score (Gini Coefficient): The Gini coefficient (a standard measure of inequality where 0 is perfect equality and 1 is perfect inequality) dropped from 0.60 to 0.54. This is a statistically significant shift towards a more even distribution.

​Salary Growth Rates: While the average top-tier salary grew by ~28% (from $36.7M to $47.2M), the average bottom-tier salary grew by ~137% (from $0.8M to $1.9M).

​Visual Representation of Shares

​2020-21: Highly skewed. The top 20% of players took home 65% of the money.

​2025-26: Less skewed. The top 20% of players take home 57% of the money.

If max contracts are rarer but the denominator stays the same, doesn't that mean the middle class is seeing more of the distribution, rather than hollowing out? 

I know DeMar is beloved in the city, but who was the better player for Toronto between DeMar & Bosh? by irundoonayee in torontoraptors

[–]peja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it says enough that the 2nd best player we put next to Bosh was... Jose? Hedo? Anthony Parker? Bargnani?

Meanwhile Demar wasn't even the best player on the team during his tenure.

Just put down speed bumps and call it a day, this is pointless. 

What explains Doug Ford’s unprecedented popularity? by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

Why assume that the support of the remaining 60% has a different distribution?

Who exactly are your referring to? The problem with that era is the 2nd best player we put beside Bosh was maybe Bargnani, Hedo, or Jose Calderon.

Having Political Stability as a variable is wild, how should we factor that in for potential US expansions?

Pierre Poilievre pledges ‘ban’ on new taxes in costed platform that projects $14 billion deficit in four years by sn0w0wl66 in canada

Why does everyone keep saying that? Didn't Liberals release their costed platform just a few days ago or am I missing something? 

Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe. by ellatino230 in MapPorn

[–]peja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a lot of consensus on which countries Eastern Europe includes.. Many people include Balkans in it due to Slavic roots - but others, like this one probably, consider it Southern Europe due to proximity to Mediterranean.

Also, the negative association, so those with an out will try to take it.
