@Trigg3100 @emmitonair The don't have a point guard. During their great run, they had 2 shooting guards and a point forward in Draymond Green. Just like in the NFL, there is not always a running back on the field.
English
@AlexKepfer @emmitonair You’re confusing position with role.
He is a PG, he doesn’t play PG in the traditional way.
You can’t look at a Warriors starting lineup and tell me he not the PG with a straight face 😂
English
Magic Johnson or Isaiah Thomas isn’t available: name the greatest point guard in NBA history.
English
@Trigg3100 @emmitonair He is not really a point guard. He is more of a traditional shooting guard. Warriors are constructed differently.
English
@BoomerJoeFick @emmitonair Meh. It is a lot closer than you think. The bad boy pistons were a better TEAM than those Utah teams. Stockton is the all time NBA leader in 2 different categories: Assists and steals.
English
@emmitonair Lot of moron out here don't know shit about Isiah. Only that Jordan hates him so he must be terrible.
Stockton is a great player but Isiah is better.
English
@emmitonair John Stockton. He is severely under-rated. I could argue he was better than Isaiah.

@owenjonesjourno So men’s fear of male violence = rational.
Women’s fear of male violence = irrational.
The evidence all points the other way Owen.
English
@owenjonesjourno You are making shit up. Trans people are not being assaulted in men's bathrooms very often.
The highest risk is of a young girl being assaulted by a trans women in the ladies bathroom.
English
The risk of a trans woman being abused or assaulted in the men’s toilet per visit = extremely high.
The risk of a woman being abused or assaulted in the women’s toilet per visit = extremely low.
J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling
Follow the logic. Women are deluded and naive for thinking predatory and violent men can be kept out of women-only spaces. ‘They can rape you anywhere.’ However, trans-identified men can only be safe in women-only spaces, because no abuser would ever follow them in there.

@Elpunto81 @MattWalshBlog I broke my ankle at 40. I basically retired from sports after that. Of course it has negative effects, but this guy claiming that 2 glasses of wine ruined him for 3 days is ridiculous.
English
@AlexKepfer @MattWalshBlog If you didn’t maybe you’d still be playing at 36. I’m not saying never drink. I love my rum, but don’t kid yourself into thinking it has no negative effects
English
The anti-alcohol stuff has become totally hysterical. It’s the worst and the gayest of the 90s anti-smoking propaganda all over again. Give up alcohol if you want but the stuff isn’t battery acid. A sip won’t send you to the hospital. A glass of wine ruined three days of your life? When did it become normal and acceptable for men to brag about their weak constitutions? Really weird.

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

@JustinMacmahan @ArthurOrville The key word is "touch". Most basketball fans are opposed to "touch fouls".
English
@ArthurOrville I think a jumpshooter’s landing space and being contacted in air are the most important thing to protect. If that same contact was on his elbow and moved it the way his foot moved, it would be a consensus foul. Not sure why people think you can touch their foot midshot
English
Why is everyone is so mad about this one? Fox’s knee makes contact with SGA’s foot, which is a foul. At that point SGA does what he’s trained to do and avoids landing firmly on his feet. He’s not gonna look down to see if Fox vacated his landing space

@GeddesLiza @Simplet10696477 @davidsirota Keeping a death cult from obtaining a weapon capable of destroying an entire country is a pretty important priority for reasonable people, I suppose.
English
@Simplet10696477 @davidsirota You’ve just blown almost 30 billion killing people in their own country
Priorities I suppose
English
The opponents of Medicare For All expect you to believe that the wealthiest country on the planet cannot afford the very thing that other less wealthy countries have been able to afford for decades — and many of those other less wealthy countries have longer average lifespans.
English
@davidsirota We already have a massive debt. Medicare for all would undoubtedly increase it.

@BitcoinTeacher_ At 24, you have plenty of time. Stock market always goes up long term. Invest in index funds and blue chips. You will get a solid 6-12% return over the next 30 years which will easily beat inflation. Only keep enough cash for a 3 month emergency fund.
English
I’m 24.
Economy close to unlivable for the average American.
Stock market? ATH
Inflation? Running hot.
If qqq crashes BTC probably gets dragged down with it.
wtf am I supposed to do with my money? Stack cash for a crash? Gets printed into oblivion.
I feel so stuck.
English
@Elpunto81 @MattWalshBlog You are weak, bro. When I was 16-35, we would regularly drink beer while playing pick up basketball. Often full court.
English
@MattWalshBlog You’re giving away that you do nothing athletic at all. A few glasses of wine won’t ruin your week but your bike ride will be slower, your reflexes will be off, you won’t lift as well etc.. Tubby podcasters unaffected.

@MurrayHillGuy1 @jfsmih I mean it’s nothing crazy the dude is a 3 and the girl is a 5

Sometimes I wish I lived in the south… is it that easy?

@9mmsmg There is such a strange phenomenon with zoomers and some younger millennials. They hold a strange attitude that they should not struggle, even tho every generation prior to them struggled. That they are somehow entitled to not struggle. It's almost malicious at this point.
English
There is such a strange phenomenon with boomers and some of Gen X. They hold a strange attitude that because they struggled, or people struggled before them, that everyone should struggle.
It should be every man's goal that his children struggle less than him. To leave a world that's better than they grew up in. Even if it's futile, we must try.
The whole boomer attitude is, "I suffered and lived so don't cry if you have to suffer too." It's rooted in selfishness and envy. Envy for seeing youthful people in their prime. They can't steal that from them, so deep down, they want to harm them in other ways.
What a lot if these people don't understand is that much of gen z will never experience even a slice of the American dream. Many won't own a home because they were priced out by foreign labor and an insane housing market. They won't have kids because they think they can't afford them. The boomers had to struggle for periods, but they had a shot at the American dream. That's gone for many.
It's almost malicious at this point.
Elias Graves Writes@EliasGravesLit
Dear Gen Z: My mother ate LARD sandwiches when she was a girl. She lived in a dirt floor shack with no electricity or indoor plumbing. She wore dresses made from flour sacks. Fuck you and your whining about the cost of a mocha latte.

Good question. Here's the thing - there's no mystery.
We have over a century of evidence. Unregulated, private, health insurance markets don't work.
And for reasons obvious from basic economics.
Private health insurance markets can't deliver needed care. As we have learnt. Over. And. Over. Again.
Mark Cuban@mcuban
Ok. Take government completely out of healthcare. No rules. No laws. No Medicare. No Medicaid. Hospitals, insurance companies, can do anything they want. What do they do ? If you were running any of the biggest insurance companies or hospitals, what would you do differently once gov was completely out of healthcare ?
English
@louis_patriot @OrevaZSN This is not true. There is little correlation between "hard work" and wealth.
Most extremely wealthy people don't work hard at all. They are just invested in successful companies.
English
@OrevaZSN The reason nice neighborhoods exist is because the people that choose to live more expensively work harder to live more expensively.
Everything in life is a luxury. How much luxury you want, depends on how much work you’re willing to put in.
English
@TheBrancaShow @OrevaZSN Interestingly (or not), black babies adopted by white families and raised in top 1% income white communities also commit more crime than bottom 1% white kids raised around primarily black criminals in ghettos.
English
@OrevaZSN No. The wealthiest top 1% blacks in America commit crime at the same rates as the poorest sub-poverty level whites.
Poverty does not drive crime. Culture drives crime.
English
@dianekaylacy @TheBrancaShow @OrevaZSN Some of it was probably caused by a racist criminal justice system. Did you ever read "To kill a mockingbird" ?
English
@TheBrancaShow @OrevaZSN If it is only about culture, explain the 1958 stats of blacks, 10% of the population, committing 60% of the violent crimes.
That was before welfare, fatherlessness and rap🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️…
