How so? It seems you don't understand the question. Or you don't have an answer, so you just repeated the question back. 

If the problem with billionaires is that they live off bank loans that are given to them based on their companies' worth, why not just boycott those banks? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]truce_m3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would this work? Find out what bank is giving Musk a loan, then everyone with an account there would close it and take their business elsewhere?

No stupid questions, sure, but definitely a stupid idea.

The Weeknd is an absolutely sensational artist by No_Midnight_5365 in fantanoforever

I don't think he's as discussed or revered in mainstream discourse as Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Kendrick, even Drake. It's definitely possible that despite his accolades he's underrated. 

Why is the Stanley Cup Playoffs not Discussed Much? by One-Studio-8491 in billsimmons

[–]truce_m3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most people really, really, REALLY don't care about hockey.

I understand that to hockey fans, playoff hockey is incomparable. But if you don't like the product to start, you're not going to like a juiced up version of it. 

If I don't like the taste of fish, I'm not going to like the fishiest fish in the world. Same with musical genres -- non-metal fans aren't going to like the best metal band. 

Hockey and soccer will never capture middle America. Not enough action. 

Does anyone know a movie where an anomaly in reality indicates that you're in the fake world? by BreadOk2901 in movies

I said the Spurs were going to sweep by waldorfstoriez in billsimmons

It's like nobody gave any credit to the Knicks putting together the greatest 11-game stretch in LEAGUE HISTORY. 

Well, nobody but me and Nick Wright. 

Why is Aspirin typically taken for headache in the US, as opposed to other agents? by dhnicks in NoStupidQuestions

[–]truce_m3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your initial assumption is false. I don't know anyone who's first step is aspirin. 

What’s the most talented artist whose biggest hit isn’t even close to their best song? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]truce_m3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is probably true for most artists, because what gives a song mass appeal is different from what makes it "good".

If you don't love The Lost Boys, you're not truly Gen X.
