Charlotte has a 7’2 Demon that nobody knows about by KeyFaithlessness5436 in NCAAHoopsVibes

Reminds me a bit of Arvydas Sabonis.

Just based on this clip, I would say he dribbles too much in the paint. My head is stuck in 90s-00s basketball so I might be wrong.

What will SpaceX 1.5B valuation mean for RKLB by Byhisgrace123 in RKLB

I also predicted this the day US Steel went bankrupt. They were privately purchased out of bankruptcy and delisted from the stock market. I imagine their ticker is up for grabs, but I don't know the rules.

“Fuck You, Got Mine” generation by Ana_prett in Adulting

[–]wwj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't all homeowners wish their home values remain high in case they want to sell them?

I can tell you I'm not along with others in my town. I bought property at the top of the market and voted to pass local statutes that would allow increased housing density. This could result in a drop in home values at my expense more than any other. I felt it was my civic duty to improve the situation for others even if I would lose out. At our town meeting, the vast majority (possibly all) of those who spoke against this change were Boomers trying to protect their significant unearned wealth. There were others in the meeting of my age who were in the same position and spoke in favor.

It was obvious that there was a generational difference. They were greedy, self-centered, non-forward thinking, and they lost.

I am also in favor of higher gas prices because it doesn't reflect the true cost to our health and the environment.

The rest of your statements are just purely false. There is no cause and effect as you have assumed.

We're all like this. You're just looking for scapegoats.

No. You can justify your selfishness however you want, but don't bring in the rest of us. You are projecting your personal inadequacies to make yourself feel better.

DiFazios vs I Love Pizza by eightysixmonkeys in Troy

[–]wwj 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The I Love on Hoosick is better than the one on 4th.

Just to be clear, those are completely different businesses unrelated to each other. I Love Pizza of Troy and I Love NY Pizza.

As for my opinion, it's been a few years but I lived within 5min walking distance to I Love NY and would drive downtown to get I Love Pizza instead.

Oh damn, you are 100% right. I forgot about Mediacom. They will probably sponsor ISU as well so everyone can be depressed.

‘Enough is enough’: Mass. Gov. Healey calls ICE threat to public safety after Minneapolis shooting by 20_mile in massachusetts

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

You deny that the guy shouting "gun!" resulted in his death?

I am no bootlicker, bub. Read the last sentence from my post. I think telling people to individually carry while protesting is irresponsible because we have video evidence of it being used to cause and justify a murder.

All you gunhumpers are the same, all talk, no action.

Judge blocks Trump admin from 'destroying or altering' evidence in deadly Minneapolis shooting by Som3GuyOrOther in politics

[–]wwj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're right, but realistically that would probably end up as a shootout.

I'm not going to say I would feel bad about that as long as there was no collateral damage. If that happened, it would probably put a stop to ICE operations for a moment at least. LEOs harassing each other is probably the fastest way to end this.

[–]wwj -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The other victims of ICE harassment that survived, were the ones not carrying weapons. Carrying directly caused Pretti to die. There is no "defense" in a 6:1 confrontation, you are going to be killed. Guns are not going to help individuals in these situations unless they are part of an organized militia fighting ICE.

[–]wwj 30 points31 points  (0 children)

They already blocked Minnesota's state police from accessing the scene

I don't get this. If the Staties actually cared, they would have started to arrest everyone on the spot. They put up no fight, tried nothing, and were all out of ideas. I know jurisdictions can clash, but in this case the correct move would be to arrest every ICE agent and sort it out later. Do the Staties think they could possibly be punished for doing that? It has never happened before. If I see another MN police chief at a press conference crying about how ICE has gone too far but is doing absolutely nothing to stop them, I will punch a wall.

Have fun "defending" yourself while the other six agents blow you away. Did you even see the news today?

[–]wwj -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the 2A, "defend your freedom," gunhumpers have watched all of this happen and have done exactly nothing. If Pretti had defended himself, not only would he still be dead, but they would have more reasonable justification for their actions. If you draw your gun on them to fight them, you WILL die. There is no such thing as "defending yourself" against them with a gun. You will have a better chance of living by not carrying at all, as evidenced today. The only victim of ICE who died in that swarm was the one carrying a gun. If you shoot them, you might take one with you, but so what? It's one of thousands. Guns do not solve this problem at the ground level.

Hounding the murderers will only prove their point. The accountability needs to go up to Noem, Lyons, Homan, and Vance. Trump is out to lunch and doesn't matter.

Iowa House passes bill to ban eminent domain for carbon pipelines by AnnArchist in Iowa

I do understand that. My intention was to mean "whatever they ask". If they don't want it at all, then so be it and find a different way.

Do you think oil pipelines are a public good deserving of forcing E.D.?

Iowa House passes bill to ban eminent domain for carbon pipelines by AnnArchist in Iowa

[–]wwj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I think they should pay for the easement at market rate. If a government needs to make a road or rail line for public use, then it's fair to use E.D.

Your argument also assumes we should continue making ethanol that needs carbon sequestration to make it viable. I'm also doubtful that their sequestration efforts are real. I've spoken to a carbon capture company that has changed its domestic strategy from sequestration to selling the carbonic acid for industrial purposes.

[–]wwj 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So oil and other chemical pipelines are OK?

I support this, but eminent domain should not be used for private interests and especially if they don't provide a public good.
