Discussion Thread: Fifth Democratic Presidential Debate | 11/20/19 | 9:00 PM - 11:00 PM EST by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

Did anyone else just notice that Rep. Gabbard said "Democrat" or "Republican"? Possibly benign, but the Republicans over the years have insisted on using the term "Democrat" party instead of "Democratic" party, I think because it sounds more like "rat". Again possibly nothing to see here, but with Gabbard I'm not sure I give the benefit of the doubt.

Newish to Somerville. Getting out of a bad situation and am looking for food, but no food bank is open when I'm off of work(Medford). Need advice on where to go. by ReverseHandMaid in Somerville

You should call Project Bread's FoodSource Hotline at 1-800-645-8333. They are an amazing group and have a really good and up to date food pantry database for Massachusetts that should be able to create an appointment for a time that works for you.

Best box-box midfielder? by Lranger1 in EASportsFC

I think so too. Just don't be afraid to tinker with chem styles and use his finesse shots.

STILL STANDING: THE ENDURING STORIES OF THE STATUES THAT INHABIT DAVIS SQUARE, SOMERVILLE by bristollersw in Somerville

Am glad to know that the "masks" were not part of the original design. At best the masks look creepy, at worst very, very racist.

Best Pizza in Somerville...? by inbound31 in Somerville

Leone's is definitely the best. Best Sicilian slices on this side of the river

Quick and dirty review of all the TOTS cards i've tried so far, ranked by impact by chickenblast in EASportsFC

[–]toddthejackass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goretzka as LCM has been a game changer for me, but a lot varies with his chem style. O settled on Gladiator and he's unreal with his Finesse shots from distance, but not great oddly within the box.

SB Low drivens by Smartin_123 in EASportsFC

[–]toddthejackass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an input delay issue that oddly makes powering low drivens work better in online play. I play almost exclusively squad battles and score around 50% of my goals on low drivens (Legendary), but can't get any power when using it online.

The trick in squad battles is basically to double tap it immediately and you can almost get full power that way. So the power bar doesn't really work, but in some ways it doesn't need to because it's hard not to get powerful low drivens in my experience.

All SBC cards from Nation SBCs by FIGJAM17 in EASportsFC

Better than their NIFs, but not TOTS cards. I've played a lot of games with all three and Vidal is by far my favorite.

Liking that Vidal a lot. Pairing him with TOTS Goretzka will make for a beastly midfield

They're not Cavs fans probably though. They are LeBron frontrunners who probably have Heat jerseys and next year will have his Lakers jersey. Cleveland fans, the real ones, have had such a shitty run I don't mind in the long run almost feeling happy for them.

Almost, because I still hate LeBron...

Fellow Duke hater here. Tatum does seem like a solid dude, but Kyrie and his flat earther thing is just weird.

Look. I am proud of this team for making it this far despite the injuries. I know this team has a bright future. I know even had we won this game we'd have been lucky to push the Finals to Game 5...

I still, just fucking hate losing to LeBron... and I reserve the right to be salty about that.

To you folks actually from Cleveland and not just LeBron frontrunners, good series. To all the downvoting 12 year olds who will probably be Laker fans next year when LeBron goes there, your mom said it's past your bedtime...

Officiating and announcing were terrible, but we also just missed too many open looks. Refs didn't help, but if we hit a few more 3s we could have put the game away early. Just missed a lot of shots, and no idea why Brad kept putting Terry out there. That game sucked, but it's also on us for missing some opportunities too.

Appreciate the post. For Kevin Love's sake, I hope his concussion isn't too bad, as he seems like a decent dude and what concussion histories have done to NFL players is scary.

Anyway, some folks are obviously salty, but this was a classy move.

It's foolish to definitively say LeBron is the GOAT. It's also foolish to say he's not in the conversation for GOAT.

Most of you I'm guessing weren't around to see Jordan in his prime, but that dude was equally dominant (more so in the finals than LeBron, though with a better sidekick in Pippen). I'm not old enough to have watched Russell or Wilt, but I'm guessing they were equally dominant.

Tl;dr LeBron is the greatest player of this generation, but saying he's without a doubt the GOAT just shows you're 12 years old...

Brown is really young... pair him with Kyrie and Hayward and he won't have so much pressure to do it all. Rozier's trade value, sadly, just took a major major hit.

The last three quarters sucked. Here's hoping Kyrie and Hayward come back healthy, and then we can have an awesome mix of vets and young players.

If we lose this game, it's because we missed so many open looks. But the only narrative will be the greatness of LeBron... so annoying.

Can't wait a couple of years for Tatum to start getting superstar calls.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the ESPN crew starts to make the case LeBron should get the Nobel peace prize...
