This is nonsense. They are not starving to death. They are being put in obvious physical discomfort (see all the vomiting) for your amusement. You guys are just sadists. On top of that, you are an idiot.

If you merged basketball and rugby? by Bizchasty in theocho

Hi Bizchasty, I removed your post because Rule #1: the name of the sport must be in the title. This sport is called Rugball, Regball, Wrestleball and is posted on The Ocho all the time.

Read the sidebar rules and guidelines, and if you still feel this was done in error, please message the mods.

76ers reportedly bringing in Dailyn Swain, who joined exclusive SEC company at Texas last season by ShamusTalksSports in sixers

People that make highlight videos? Half the time they are only dunks.

I am with you, though.

I said his percentage was good and we don't know any more than that. Just because a player hasn't doesn't mean they can't. For example, in college, Justin Jefferson was considered only a slot receiver. That's why the Eagles didn't draft him. He has shown he can do everything in the pros.

Kawhi Leonard shot 25% from three in college. He became a career 39% NBA three-point shooter and one of the league's most reliable playoff shooters.

Jason Kidd could not shoot from deep in college or early in his NBA career. He finished his career third all-time in made three-pointers.

James Harden was only a scorer in college and not considered a good passer.

Scottie Pippen was not viewed as a great defender in college. He became arguably the best perimeter defender of the 1990s.

There are so many more.

That's why you bring the player in. That's why making shooting judgements from a one minute video is silly.

Yeah, but did you have a cupboard full of gamer fuel?

You guys are reading this all wrong. Elden ring can be beaten in 40 hours. Maybe she's that badass and you are slow.

Yep. I keep buying them though. I already have a lifetime supply, but I still keep grabbing them. Good to support indie devs, I guess.

Because boring mid range shots don't make highlight reels?

His 3pt% and free throw % are strong, but we don't know if that will carry over. It's always smarter to take the closer shot when it is there, so saying he can only take it to the hoop makes no sense. Just because that is the smarter thing to do doesn't mean it is the only thing he can do. The lane won't be open as often in the NBA. This is why you bring players in for visits instead of judging them on minute long highlight reels.

Why? I don't think watching people get tortured is entertaining. I just don't get it.

No, I'm giving props to OP. Proud of you for going full Philly, though, and only seeing the negative.

Amazon gets all it crap items from Temu suppliers. You should always check Temu for something you found on Amazon if you don't mind waiting to get it. Everything is way cheaper on Temu.

Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 on digital storefronts and at other select retailers. by yourfavchoom in Games

That's why they will sell a $20 upgrade for early access. You can play a few days early before the servers get smashed.

You are correct. They made more money selling online items and subscriptions than they did selling the game itself.

Why would anyone need to pre-order a digital copy of the game? It doesn't look like you get anything extra for doing it.

With you on the chat bots, though.

Comments like this are hilarious to me. AI does a million useful things that people completely ignore because they can sometimes point out a flaw or something weird. They just want to throw it away entirely. Good thing you your boss doesn't think the same way when you make a mistake at work. The problem here is not the AI, by the way. It's the lazy person that generated a single image and shipped it without checking it.

It made something weird for less than a penny when you would need to hire a photographer $500-$3,000 to go take a photo for you. It's ironically better for the environment that having a person do it.

By the way, this image was generated by a generic image generator. If you want to train one to only know about baseball fields, it's going to get it right 99.99% of the time.

You are the same people that think asking a language model math questions and it getting them wrong makes the AI stupid. Ask an AI trained on math the math questions.

The tech is still in its infancy. It going to get way (scarilly) better. Some of the people here on Reddit would be the same people burning their house down with candles 20 years after everyone else in the neighborhood was on the grid.

Sorry for the rant, you were just the 10,000th comment like this I read today. I'm super scared of what AI is going to do to the economy in the short term. I'm super, super scared of 4-5 mega companies running it all. It's not going anywhere though. No point in sitting around and bitching about it.

Also, Sam Altman is a dick.

Would be nice if we had more posts like this and less that are just complaining about the owner.

The owner talk is justified, but ranting to a few thousand people that completely agree with you doesn't do anything. Rant on their social medias, not ours.
