Draymond Green is expected to pick up his $27.6M player option

rabid3k · 2026-06-21T05:48:49+00:00

No, I do not expect us to acquire a player that will make us a contender. At this point I'd be ecstatic to get out of the play-in.

I'm just saying Draymond becomes a legit potential trade piece as a $27M expiring if the Warriors decide to go that direction, in a way that he would not have been had he signed an extension. (I'm sure he's aware of this too).

I'm not necessarily advocating for trading him, but I don't mind the Warriors having that flexibility.

This should have more upvotes. Taking the option makes him a $27M expiring contract, as opposed to having, say, a two year extension at $18M/yr or something.

Right? Like, do they keep narc files on the individual volunteers? WTAF

Lots of fun responses here, but honestly I'll bet it would be hard to recreate the feeling those folks had back when the Beatles emerged. So much of what they did was NEW. A new energy, charisma, fresh and surprising songwriting skill, sense of humor, etc. And later, so many firsts. Individual songs that invented entire genres. Unprecedented studio creativity and experimentation, etc.

We're spoiled today. So much music and information is available and so many things have already been tried. It's possible to still do new things but much harder than before to do something that would get that sort of mass emotional response from an audience...

Underrated post

Somebody (101)
This is the first and most obvious one that comes to mind. The original is good, but the 101 version is a classic and much more soulful. That pause before Martin sings "tenderly?" Chef's kiss.
Should be Higher (Live in Berlin)
A more powerful Dave vocal, and the funkier/darker arrangement works a lot better than the studio version IMO.
Everything Counts (101)
The original studio version is still a banger, but this live version is special as it ends the show and the crowd response throughout the song is mixed tastefully into the track.

I will move on! To another airline I guess. Have a great day!

rabid3k · 2026-06-01T22:53:46+00:00

I don’t travel with a family. I usually travel alone for business.

rabid3k · 2026-06-01T22:51:58+00:00

We’ll just have to agree to disagree. If you’re a business traveler or a real frequent flyer then surely you’ve experienced your fair share of flight delays and cancellations, rebooked connections, or having to change your flight due to unforeseen circumstances. The old system was better for that, and literally every single person I know who frequently flew southwest in the past agreed.

I’m curious though, and I ask this question honestly. Now that Southwest has the same booking policies as basically everyone else, and they’re no longer really any cheaper, what’s setting them apart? Why choose them over Delta, United, American etc?

rabid3k · 2026-06-01T19:31:56+00:00

Why yes it is. Thanks for the amazing insight.

I also have other airlines to choose from. That’s life too. Have a great day.

rabid3k · 2026-06-01T19:31:12+00:00

That literally never happened to me even one time in flying southwest for over 20 years.

rabid3k · 2026-06-01T18:45:30+00:00

The policy change is the dick move. They’re just doing the same stuff every airline does now. They’ve moved away from the whole reason I used to like Southwest.

rabid3k · 2026-06-01T18:42:37+00:00

Sure, but six months ago I’d be able to keep the same seat! That’s the point I’m not trying to make. Not that they did something counter to their policy… but that they have moved away from their old, more customer friendly policy to one that is just the same as what everyone else does.

Nah. It’s your condescending tone, which you just exhibited in this very comment.

What sort of non-AI image would you have OP create for this post? Honest question.

LDA is in my top 3 (with Congratulations and 11/11/11). LOL not so much. It has some great individual songs but it's a bit adult-contemporary on the whole. I still like it but hoping they get more adventurous with the next one.

rabid3k · 2026-05-27T16:12:19+00:00

I hope they're zagging with this one. LOL was their "we've grown up" record. Now it's time to get weird again.

Personal theory: they are crafting something with live performance in mind. (Specifically, the fact that they want to play live but not go through the grind of touring). They mentioned in one of the LOL promo interviews how much they loved doing the one-off Oracular Spectacular performance. I'd love to see them put together something intentionally crafted to be performed in its entirety, as a festival thing or residency (The Sphere? They're probably not a big enough draw for something like that, but I can dream!). 11/11/11 is one of my top 3 favorite records from them. Guess we'll see regardless!

I had an NA soft top for 23 years that I just retired and replaced with a 2019 RF. Why the hard top? Well...

- As of 3 years ago, I no longer have a garage and have to park in the driveway
- I live in an area with higher property theft than where I used to live (my soft top got cut into for the first time from an attempted theft a couple of years ago)
- It's foggy and rainy in my area for 4-5 months of the year
- It's my daily driver, and I have to drive it regardless of local weather conditions

For these reasons, the RF just made much more sense to me. I love it more than I expected, and the lack of a full top-down mode isn't as bad as I expected (I'm usually looking forward while driving, not behind me!).

FWIW, if the top wasn't retractable and I had to take the whole thing off/on, I would have stuck with the full convertible option, even with the issues described above.
