WTF is this guys problem? This, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia. Why is it so hard for these guys to take a moral stance on anything, at the very least say “no comment” or some shit. Rich people really need to be studied to find out what’s wrong with them, this is genuinely a mental illness.

- Comment on Trade Deadline Thoughts? 1 week ago:
Cavs reek of desperation. They are (where?) still young and had like 2-3 years to figure it out or at least make a better trade.
- Comment on Trade Deadline Thoughts? 1 week ago:
Seeing what the Mavs got for AD makes the Luka trade even worse. They ended up with basicly 3 late 1st rounders, Max Christie who’s OK, a bunch of trash, and like 25 games of AD healthy. Just wild.
- Comment on Trade Deadline Thoughts? 1 week ago:
They sold high. Clips are on a 12-2 run and where looking good, just like every year though. Got way younger and got a few picks, I’d say the Clips are the biggest winners this trade deadline by far.

- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 weeks ago:
If a person give a company money to invest for their retirement they can look into the investment company itself but its unreasonable for them to look into every company they invest in. Normal people generally don’t have time to check new investments that company makes everyday. Once an individual is made aware of their money being invested into immoral companies then its there responsible to act.
Penny Jar is an early-stage VC firm anchored by Stephen Curry
That’s a quote from their website, see the difference? Steph didn’t just give someone money to invest and they did something without his knowledge.
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 weeks ago:
My point is that these athletes have made enough money to the point where lack of money will never be an issue for them. Steph does not need to invest money in companies involved in apartheid and genocide, if he can’t start a company without giving money to people involved with apartheid and genocide. I don’t see what’s contraversal or hard to understand about that?
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 weeks ago:
Investing for retirement is way different than owning a venture capital firm. Steph doesn’t need more money, nor does Lebron, nor do those golfers. It’s not about capitalism or lack if money, the problem is lack of backbone. Again, how much money do these people need before they stop making decisions based on money?
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 weeks ago:
Sports players are literally selling their bodies to the highest bidder
They literally are not lol. He didn’t hire someone, he owns the company. If he hired someone he’d have plausible deniability.
The idea of investing morally is minority concept and is honestly at odds with the whole modern capitalist idea of investment.
Hiding behind “capitalism made me do it” is the silliest thing I’ve heard in a while lmao
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 weeks ago:
I’m gonna assume the question wasn’t directed at only that tiny group of people.
It was lol. That’s what the post is about and all the examples I gave are also sports related.
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 weeks ago:
By playing sports really well. There’s nothing morally wrong with that lol
- Comment on The recent Star Trek series are often criticized for "not being woke enough", but I've come to feel the envelope they are pushing is much more radical, bolder, and important to our specific time... 2 weeks ago:
OK that’s fair.
Are you saying this “radical idea” spans all off the new shows or one specific show. I stopped watch the new shows at some point, it just wasn’t for me. I don’t know what you’re really talking about in this post cause I haven’t seen anything new or groundbreaking like you’re describing, its all been quite generic in my opinion.
Can you point or link to a specific scene or plot that shows what you mean?
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 weeks ago:
Why do so many rich people seem to have little to no morals. This, Lebron with Hong Kong, LIV Golf. How much money do these people need SMH.

I don’t think you’re understanding what I’m saying. The people saying “pussification of men” and the ones saying “not being woke enough” are two completely different groups. Your post comes off as if you’re trying to conflate those to groups even though they’re on completely different sides of the spectrum.
Now I feel like you’re trying to paint me as being insensitive to people showing vulnerability which would be unfair and untrue. Just because I’m critical of how the new shows executed the message doesn’t mean I don’t agree with the message itself. I just think that message was was conveyed better in TNG era shows.

Maybe, mushrooms/LSD don’t usually show up on standard employer drug test. Both can be tested for though, best theory I’ve heard so far.

This is one generic ass trade lol. Trade between the Bulls and Kings ✅ Trade involving Dennis Schröder ✅

Something about his explanation doesn’t feel right to me, like was my guy doing rails of that Colombian bam bam for his mental health lol?

I seems like your combining two separate groups and their separate criticisms. I’ve definitely criticised the new shows for not doing woke well. I think TNG era trek also covered vulnerability but in a more subtle way, were new Trek seems overly dramatic and forced to me.
I think anyone who complains about characters being pussies is probably a conservative who is just looking for something to complain about today lol.
- Comment on Luka Doncic Is The Worst Defender In NBA History 2 weeks ago:
TL;DW: He’s actually average. Statistically he’s a better defender than 50% of the league.
Yeah I get that, I’m a Lakers fan and I’m tired of it too lol.

Yeah, they’re kind of stuck. If Dallas trade AD for his actual market value then the Luka trade just looks so much worse. But trading him is the right choice and the longer they wait the worse the return will be.
- Comment on Antony Davis to Undergo Hand Surgery; Out Several Months 4 weeks ago:
There’s always a market for the right price. This isn’t a Trae Young situation, Davis is undeniably a top ten talent… when he actually plays.
- Comment on Antony Davis to Undergo Hand Surgery; Out Several Months 4 weeks ago:
I guess AD is staying in Dallas this year lol
- Comment on State of the NBA Trade Market 5 weeks ago:
I think Trae Young is seen as a losing player that basically has a net negative impact on a team, at least at his current salary. The other players mentioned are seen as additions that will improve your chances of winning.
