In a vacuum, a benevolent dictatorship is the best form of government we know of. Unfortunately, corruption and succession are pragmatic arguments against ever establishing one.

Maybe 12 years ago tbh.

I live in NYC and many years ago had a friend who told me he wanted to buy a condo. Then he did the rent vs buy math and realized renting is cheaper in the long run. He ended up renting a giant full floor loft for $8k a month and was super happy about it.

Personally, I think the questionnaire and answers are too vague. I also think the answers allude to the prevalence of rape being a bigger factor than the actual harm. The differences in the rates of both crimes certainly played a factor in some peoples' answers.

Kind of like of you were to ask which is more serious, being mugged or wage theft. Most people would say being mugged but wage theft affects far more people and accounts for far more economic loss overall.

I'm not gonna go through the whole list, but the whole thing about MVPs is that they can't be guarded one on one. There was no one who was going to stop Lebron one on one. Or MJ, Kobe, Shaq, Duncan, Giannis, Embiid. You get the point. This idea that Gobert was going to stop Jokic is misplaced when compared to NBA history.

I fucking love necks! Never see it mentioned in these threads either.

Curry's too high imho.

Hakeem gets a lot of credit for having his prime and MJ's overlap. He's probably the second best player of the 90s. A lot of MVPs were also handed out to people who probably shouldn't have gotten them because of how people felt about MJ.

There's just so many facets to this question. It's hard to pinpoint anything with any kind of accuracy. The one thing everyone can agree on though is the tangibles which can be measured accurately. It's why any prospect, no matter how "can't miss", can be a bust.

Go to any of the skin care subreddits and they recommend using a daily facial moisturizer with sunblock. I've been doing it for the past 8 years.

I remember getting X-Wing as a 0-day ware and uploading it to the most exclusive site I was on to get some sweet dl credits. Was the highlight of my BBS career.

Yeah. This isn't that hard to understand. I went to college in the late 90s and not every place accepted credit cards back then.

Also, Jules is an enforcer. He gets paid in cash and I doubt he's putting any of that in a bank account and paying taxes on it.

When I read the title, the thing I was most surprised by is that Gordon doesn't have an All-Defense nod somewhere.

As someone who doesn't watch CBB and only saw a handful of Edey's tourney game's by accident, where does he project to go in the draft?

Football Player Class has no Int requirement.

There's a lot of inconsistency about what a foul is. It goes year to year , game to game, and ref crew by crew. Truth be told, a lot of fans don't know what a foul is because it changes every year and different things get emphasized all the time. Like one year, they emphasize charges, then flopping, then touch fouls. And the public generally doesn't know what the league tells the refs to emphasize behind the scenes.

It's incredibly frustrating to me since I've been watching the NBA for 30 years and things are all over the place now. I don't bother watching the regular season anymore. And even watching the playoffs is rough. You're not the only person that doesn't know what a foul is. It changes all the time. It's also just so inconsistent. And also just unfair in most cases. But that's how the NBA wants it.

This is hearsay on my part, but I had a friend who had a friend on the Prequel sets and what he told me is that George has no idea how to direct actors. Like he's actually terrible at giving direction.

I'm going to go against the grain here a tiny bit. I had a friend who did retail arbitrage by going to thrift stores and reselling clothing from them. I used to go with him a ton after work, we worked together and the stores were on our way home. I got a lot of good deals at those thrift stores. But you have to be very selective. Like "Look at 10 racks worth of shit and find 3 worthwhile items" levels of selective. I even have a Hugo Boss suit that fits me like a glove that only cost $50 from Salvation Army.

NYC has its own set of drawing standards and sheet naming standards you have to follow. They're actually not that bad or restrictive, but we did have to overhaul our library to accommodate them when they were implemented.

A lot of these items, especially those related to maintaining company graphic standards, are things you'd check over from someone fresh out of college and should be handled by whoever's overseeing those responsible for drafting. IMO those kinds of inconsistencies shouldn't even be making it to your desk if you're doing an actual peer review.

To me, a peer review involves making sure the set is properly coordinated and meets code compliance. Checking things like making sure dimensions and text are the right size means there's a a failure in the drafting process or system somewhere much earlier.

I couldn't agree with you more. Loved watching him play.

So do I. Really loved watching his game. Wanted a little more playmaking out of him but loved it nonetheless. Was like watching a Terminator on the basketball court.

Dude has two FMVPs. He finished 2nd and 3rd in MVP voting during his healthier years. People know how good he was before the injuries started.

I also think people are taking it easy on him because his injuries are just of a chronic nature and they feel bad for him.

Found his subscriber.

AFAIK almost all retail markup is about 100%. I worked at a gaming store for a while and all the MSRP prices were sold to us at 50% by the distributors.
