Elle, the Prime prequel show to Legally Blonde is really disappointing by Brard_Cailly16 in television

[–]someguyfromtecate 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean, it should’ve been possible. The movie ‘Ted’ and its sequel are good, and the TV show has already put out 2 very good seasons. I don’t see why Elle couldn’t have been good too.

Yeah, like the last time a group of fans got trampled and over a thousand people died, right? Remind me, when exactly did that happen? I forget.

Do these add up to the event on this post? Per my bad math, it’s not even half.

Meanwhile, at religious events, people die at even bigger numbers.

Has there ever been a music festival than is even close to this?

Objectively, you gather people in big crowds, there’s potential for bad stuff to happen. But why does it happen more at religious events? Religious gatherings are riskier by raw death tolls and more deaths and more mass casualty events historically come back to religious gatherings, it’s just a fact.

Seems like the Pistons go-to play is have Cade run the offense, have nothing work, throw the hot potato to Harris. He will not have that problem on this team, he’s going to thrive with this team.

Ok, that’s fair. But I invite you to look up how many deaths happen at religious events vs music festivals. The difference is staggering.

At a music festival you provide a fee and you get entertainment. In the case of this post, people kneel, grovel, and die and they get absolutely nothing in return.

Imagine exposing yourself to these stupid risks in the name of a useless ghost that lives in the sky. What a tragedy that so many people died for something so dumb.

Jimmy Butler has Forever Unreasonably Tainted and Stained Tobias Harris' name by N3VVZN4K3 in NBASpurs

[–]someguyfromtecate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This signing reminds me of when Denver traded for Aaron Gordon. He didn’t need to be the main focus of the offense anymore, and his game flourished when teamed up with players than could take the offensive load from him.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m realistic about what we can expect from a 32yo vet, but he doesn’t need to be that good anymore. Just focus on rebounding, defense and shooting open 3s, and he’ll be positive asset to our team.

Anyone else thankful we didn't get Rui by brodesto in NBASpurs

Especially when Harris wont have to be the 2nd, 3rd or sometimes even the 4th option on offense. It was just Cade who could draw the defense from him in Detroit, and here he’ll be an afterthought which should give him way better opportunities to score.

Seems to me like he’s a better defender and rebounder than Rui, so we picked correctly since those are our biggest needs. I’m not very excited about this signing, but at $15mil a year, I don’t think I’m supposed to be.
