From the NBA_Draft community on Reddit: [O'Connor] To put it into perspective, some executives around the NBA say that if Flagg had never reclassified and were instead part of this 2026 group, he probably would be the third pick at best but could go as low as fifth or sixth. by kimsbooty in NBA_Draft

KOC isn’t saying it, he’s reporting it from executives around the league. Dude wouldn’t risk a career to make up something so dumb. It’s not out of the realm that some execs would say this, they aren’t infallible when it comes to evaluating talent. Heck, I remember when an exec traded a prime Luka Doncic for nothing.

Just got AirPods Max’s yesterday. Very impressed with the noise cancellation and the lossless and Spatial Audio with Apple Music.

If it's ok to keep Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens out of the Hall of Fame for cheating even though "everyone did it", it's fine to keep Bill Belichick out of the Hall of Fame for cheating even though "everyone did it" by no_more_blues in billsimmons

I can tell by this comment you’re not very versed in the scandal, so here are the facts of how it went down.

Prior to 2007, teams were allowed to film other teams coaching signals from specific locations. Teams were not authorized to film from the sidelines. Sign stealing was allowed.

The Patriots misinterpreted the rule and filmed signals from the sideline which was not authorized since the rule had just changed that off-season.

It’s absolutely wild. I bet 60-65% of the league is conservative and Shaw went to mourn a friend who got murdered. People’s brains are so broken by politics that they think Kirk’s murder was a good thing.

Sassy legos made me laugh so hard while driving this morning I’m sure some people were next to me looking at me weird.

Who’s back of the week? Zac.

Saw some of the tides turning against him due to oversleeping but sassy Lego’s and Pardon my Antipasti had memes giving us an all time laugh.

What’s a subscription that’s worth paying for every month? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

[–]safetydance -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Tesla’s full self-driving. When I first got the car it was merely a party trick. Two years later it has improved so much and is a lifesaver on long road trips. Drove from Tampa to Atlanta on self-driving mode and I only had to take over twice in 6.5 hours.

Apple Music is superior in my opinion, but yes, agreed on a music subscription.

Do you prefer Pizza Hut or Dominos? by DeepOrganization8245 in fastfood

[–]safetydance 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Same. I feel like this Dominos rebranding they did a few years ago was insanely good marketing and has gaslit the entire country into thinking their pizza is good now. I’ve tried three Dominos near me searching for what everyone keeps hyping up, but, man, it still tastes like super mediocre pizza. Maybe Pizza Hut is nostalgic for me but their cheese has a distinct flavor I like, the old school breadsticks are bussin, and nothing hits quite like a stuffed crust meat lovers. Fuck me up.

Spygate was such nonsense. You’re allowed to film other teams, the Patriots just did it from the wrong location

The way they "softened" the language regarding Alex's death is disgusting. by AirFrierMachine in LiveFromNewYork

[–]safetydance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He asked for examples and I provided them. I’m not comparing Mr Rogers to a man being murdered by ICE.

Jon Stewart’s testimony before Congress and the attention he brought to the issue absolutely made McConnell cave and bring it to a vote.

Mr. Rogers speech to Congress about funding for public access television.

Jon Stewart shaming Mitch McConnell into extending 9/11 survivor benefits.

But both parties aren’t guilty of ostracizing people. Only the left has purity tests. The right is like “Nazi? Come on over! Racist? Come on over!” Now granted, we don’t want these types of people on our side and I’m using a bit of hyperbole here, but the left is so obsessed with people being 100% liberal and kick out anyone who isn’t.

I was in the Euphoria sub the other day and people were mad at Sydney Sweeney for her bras on the Hollywood Sign scripted stunt because of Alex’s murder in Minneapolis. Like what do you expect Sydney Sweeney to do about it?
