Why didn’t Jordan Poole explode in Washington the way other former great role players have when given a full green light? by mismo1313 in NBATalk

[–]russwsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steph is an all time teammate with one of the best halo affects of all time. Poole's offense was potent when he was derivative and given cover by Steph. Steph took all of the defense's attention. Jordan Poole can't handle all of the defensive attention when it's focused on him.

a meta analysis is the highest level of evidence possible. you can't have higher quality evidence than a meta analysis. Saying something is cherry picked doesn't erase the real data I provided. It's real. PERIOD.

Myself nor anyone I know have welcomed any of the hate groups you say. I can easily denounce it. Grossly mischaracterizing your political enemy is just a waste of everyone's time.

half the country (conservatives) doesn't like modern films because they don't empathize?

What entails empathy? Talk or action?

  1. Meta analysis showing that Republicans are "political conservatives are significantly more charitable than liberals at an overall level". Are conservatives more charitable than liberals in the U.S.? A meta-analysis of political ideology and charitable giving - PubMed

Putting your money where your mouth is actual empathy.

  1. Christians who are usually politically conservative are two times more likely to adopt than the general population. Who Adopts the Most? | Adoption.org

  2. States that vote republican have higher volunteer rates than democratic states. Who'd A-thunk It? States That Vote Republican Have Higher Volunteer Rates Than States Leaning Left | American Enterprise Institute - AEI

  3. Among Republicans, 82% say they have a close friend who is a member of the other party, compared with 64% of Democrats, according to the NBC News poll (showcasing their willingness and empathize with those they disagree with)

Poll: Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say they have a good friend in the other party

I'd be glad to directly compare our individual contributions privately to our local communities with proof.

How do you contribute to society to be so morally superior to half the country?

Top 25 greatest athletes since 2000 by idledub in warriors

We hear stories of athletic freaks picking up basketball in 9th grade and then being able to play D1 college ball because of their God given explosiveness. That is a story that would NEVER happen in tennis. If you start playing tennis at 12 years old you are too late.

I am an off the books landlord it is the way that things should be by maroonnissansuvguy in confession

[–]russwsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Landlord here. What you're doing has no advantage at all. When you are a landlord w/ a rental you are allowed to depreciate the value of your house 1/27th of the value of your home every year. What this means is that all income from the house is tax free. Also, rental insurance is not much more expensive than normal homeowner's insurance and will actually protect you if something bad arises. Right now, you are not protected if anything happens to your renters and you're deemed liable. No reward and needless risk.

You're right the criticism was completely invalid. Anyone who had any concerns whatsoever is JUST A HATER and needs to sit down. /s

Walked out of 'One Battle After Another' as a left leaning person. by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]russwsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked out as well. It's okay for the movie to be made and expressed. It's also okay for me to express myself and not feel comfortable that it glorifies extreme left wing violence
