@BigOxBob @CptnCumch @TheDunkCentral @jwquick Are you under the impression that athletes and performers are going to take a pay cut to fund that???? The cost will get passed through to fans in the form of increased ticket prices. You are doing some wild gymnastics to justify this owner making a mistake
English
@CptnCumch @TheDunkCentral @jwquick A jock tax that will be repaid by athletes and performers is the bulk of the funding.
English
New Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon is reportedly enforcing strict cost-cutting measures, per @jwquick:
Staff required to check out of hotels by 12:30 PM to avoid late fees
Team masseuse denied a room for pregame treatment
Two-way players not allowed to travel for playoff games to cut costs
Free T-shirts for fans at Game 3 canceled
(h/t @TheNBABase )

@TheDunkCentral @jwquick @TDCanes this is not going to work out well, enjoy ticket sales coming back to earth next szn after 1 playoff berth. All cuz you care more about 1yr bottom line than the aggregate, ntm the gains you’d make by taking care of staff+fans. Maybe take a page from successful colleagues

@boxfan @3Memento_Mori i used grok and it told me to hire a lawyer and I did for $500 for an hour and he said there was no wiggle room so I wasted money on that bc of AI
don't use AI for financial shit. Not the first time it steered me wrong

Then why did the DNC go to court and argue that they had the right to defy the will of the people and pick their own candidate?

Bernie broke y’all’s brains in many ways, but I am BEGGING for y’all to let go of the belief that the only reason he lost two successive primaries was because shadowy gatekeepers rigged it against him. Voters voted. He got fewer of them. In “the contest of ideas,” his lost.

@Hater_T0t @hohenzollernrin @PalmyrPar I’d venture to say polyglots are also probably more likely to follow grammar, pronunciation, and sentence structure rules correctly and consistently in order to be understood, whereas monolinguals will typically pick up shortcuts that have become common in their native region
English
@hohenzollernrin @PalmyrPar E.g. people,with one language know more words in that one language, but polygots know more words overall

@charliemktplace @Djxmr1 @zeta_globin To my knowledge my university didn’t have a masters program that was any more specific than Data Analytics, so now you have me curious about what else is out there. Can you give an example of one or explain the “get a masters in a specific domain that uses analytics underneath”
English
@Djxmr1 @zeta_globin Yeah analytics/data science is too broad. Certain schools have great placements and programs, others are expensive online certificates.
Better to get a masters in a specific domain that uses analytics underneath.
English
uh I've had five separate friends take their masters off their cv starting in like 2019, this has always been reality
:@sn0oozey
I’m starting to believe that getting your masters degree will actually make people respect you less

@fluidathletics Yall forget that everyone is not up on sports lol the name Bolt is how it gets contextualized for everyone else

Barstool with the most ethical, mainstream post about this run (didn't mention Bolt, chose to say "U20 Record" vs "World Record")
Barstool Sports@barstoolsports
200 METERS. 19.67 SECONDS. A U20 RECORD. SAY GOUT GOUT’S NAME

BREAKING: Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich’s hamstring injury is expected to sideline the star for a month. Yelich exited yesterday’s contest and was replaced by Gary Sanchez.

@donvitosballchz @AG19Pistons @RomeovilleKid I am with you on that 100% they are still humans and we all eat shitty once in a while. I don’t think Marshawn or AE ever came in overweight though. And I KNOW their love for candy hasn’t contributed to weight in a meaningful enough way that injury frequency increased, as with ZW
English
@krombompulus @AG19Pistons @RomeovilleKid most of these athletes are kids who can’t take care of themselves when they turn pro then they figure it out w/experience. Marshawn lynch was addicted to skittles. AE eats like 10 bags of candy a day. Jamarcus Russell etc There are so many examples of athletes terrible diets
English
#Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton “lost part my eyebrow” due to face shingles:
“I’ve been taking unbelievable amounts of medication to try to get rid of it. It hasn’t worked. It’s obviously caused me to gain weight … That’s been a topic of conversation through social media …”
English
@donvitosballchz @AG19Pistons @RomeovilleKid Ran outta room but wanted to say “one of the only active franchise players”
Other than him it’s Joel in his first 3yrs when he was also injured+depressed, Harden while actively trying to miss gms & force a trade, & Luka while still playing like a t5-10 guy. That’s it recently.
English
@donvitosballchz @AG19Pistons @RomeovilleKid Zion is the exception that proves the rule. He’s a story b/c he’s one of the only franchise players whose career was harmed by diet. I guess we don’t hear much about guys that never made it cuz they came into their first camp fat but again that’s an extreme minority among pros

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away

@colinthecrabb Both Cranston and Gilligan have spoke extensively on the issue. I don't understand how is this still a topic. If you hate Skyler, you misunderstood the show.
English
@DimeDropperPod @thompsonian87 @HimothyMunyun @jjmaples55 They didn’t even call def3sec until after 04. the rule changes in 01 drastically shifted things. You couldn’t play soft help defense before it was either double or iso unless there was a free cutter. Hence why jordan could get any open look he wanted if he got a step on his man
English
@thompsonian87 @HimothyMunyun @jjmaples55 No don’t listen to that. Jordan was talking about legal zones without a defensive 3 second violation which the league didn’t even allow. Every LeBron fan girl uses that even though they don’t understand the full context behind it
English
Yes because Hakeem, Ewing, David Robinson, Brad Daugherty, Dikembe Mutombo and Alonzo Mourning were such poor rim defenders

Jason Williams piensa que Michael Jordan tendría problemas para anotar en la era moderna: “Fue fácil para él llegar a la canasta contra Gary Payton como lo sería contra Jrue Holiday pero hoy con Giannis y Brook Lopez esperándolo allí atrás... No estaría anotando tan fácilmente hoy como lo hizo en ese entonces". ¿Qué opinan?
English
@SpryArcaneMage @El_King888 @wife_geist Yeah all I take from this is renewed anger at post-1800s English people who killed Gaelic and taught all the Irishmen English. Guess that’s why Irish pronunciations are like that, it was the English pronunciation at the time
English
wait is “varsity” short for “uni-varsity”? because if so fuck off
English
@jtscardswap @TexiganRBL Nobody has fond memories of their dad coaching if he was getting tossed all the time. Worse yet all the other kids who trusted you to let them learn & play the game will look back on how you took winning more srsly than their development & fun. Winning matters in college & pros

Anyone doing anything interesting today?
I got thrown out of a 6U baseball game today, so there’s that.
Am I too competitive? Naaaaaah

Biggest downside about arc raiders they won’t let you buy coins or perk packages like you can clash or Royale or 2k
