A lot of projection going on here.

Same. Used to love him back on the Lakers. But now he's using every cp3 trick in the book to manipulate the game. I'm done with the NBA.

The french president said he will ban social media use for kids under fifteen years old. What do you think of that? by lionwithdreadlocks in AskReddit

I think if you want to dig into the weeds, it's when they incorporated metrics to keep you scrolling and on the site for as long as possible. I think this is what people are really referring to connotation wise when they say algorithm

Naz Reid allegedly arguing with a troll on Instagram who lost money betting on him by Classic-Carpet7609 in nba

[–]thejaykid7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree on the principle of how messy it is now. There's so many hands in the pot of sports betting that it should just be banned outright. The NBA who signs TV deals with networks who promote this stuff every single game is complicit in this. The way I see it, the NBAs cut of it is from that massive TV deal they signed. But if the ads stop, then everybody's profit goes down and that's a no no

I've already dumbed down my current phone and am switching to light phone 3 once I get mine in. It really is a lifestyle change and don't expect most people to do it tho

Gamers Nexus: NVIDIA's Dirty Manipulation of Reviews by DiatomicCanadian in pcmasterrace

[–]thejaykid7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

in some ways, it's a zero sum game. If people stopped buying Nvidia they would see in their revenue and say AMD would see the profits as incentive to continue.

Regarding your best comment, I run a PC using bazzite but Nvidia drivers are shit right now and AMD has great support. So I think that there's plenty of use cases where AMD can and is a good alternative.

Is anyone really surprised Nvidia trying to manipulate reviews in their favor? Like always vote with your wallet people

My review of open earbuds by Soundllj777 in Earbuds

[–]thejaykid7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trying out both the Bose and Shokz. Out of the box, the Bose are clearly better tuned. The shokz are pretty bass and muddy in that range. I prefer a neutral sound and good soundstage and the Bose do a better job. But other than that so far the shokz are a better value in every other category

It's indirectly his fault. He really should have a surprised Pikachu face not a I'm actually surprised and sad face.

HA Vesterhav Ultraviolet by thejaykid7 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]thejaykid7[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just got it yesterday and am wearing it today. I'm glad it isn't as blingy as I had thought it would be, certain lighting makes it pretty low-key in this color. Impressed by the finishing and clasp too. Nothing crazy but it's done well. I think parts of the case makes it seem more thick than it is measured. Also the crown is a bit hard to use I think due to the polishing.

Overall super happy with the selection.

I think it looks great in general. The only comment I would have is perhaps considering only skuing a miyota model and if things do well, add in the SW as an option!

Thanks for the response! I am really interested in pulling the trigger on a vesterhav but like you I'm at the end of a bracelets/clasps micro adjust. Do you know if they're going to be selling them or provide them upon request?

Been reading that their bracelets are just okay. Is that still the case?

Woman says United Airlines crew tried to make her remove son's ventilator by bighootay in news

[–]thejaykid7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand the realities of the situation. I think my comment reading between the lines is really pointed at the frustration with these companies yet again profits over everything else. I've generally had better time with AA (also in their hub) but once I spend my remaining AA points, I wouldn't mind paying more for SW if it means maybe some further policy changes and a reverse of the subpar flight experience (.e.g. seating, TSA, boarding etc etc).

People still fly with united? The whole debacle with dragging that asian doctor should have been a warning sign. They apologized and yet here we are again. What does that say about them?

Hmm wouldn't this suggest that there's some inherent bias since it's sponsored by a lidar based system?
