@zundamotisuki No, nobody does. Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world
English

@yamanakanobody Yes, yes they are. And the US has the exact same problem unfortunately

@pirooooon3 Taiwan is both independent of China and it is also the legal successor to the actual legitimate Chinese government, while the PRC is a breakaway state that is one of the most oppressive regimes on earth.
English

It depends on what you want to get out of it.
I think the absolute best way to watch is flashback order which would be
4 -> 1 -> 2 -> 5 -> 6 -> 3,
but if it’s your first time ever watching you should go
4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3
While you can do
1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6
And it works just fine, for a first experience release order is typically the suggested way to do it.
As for 7,8,9, they are what I’d call an absolute mess from a story perspective (to put it nicely) but a lot of people like them anyways (for reasons I can’t understand) so I’d suggest watching them just in case you end up liking them, but like if it were up to me I’d burn them so nobody would be forced to watch them again and completely remake them based off the “legends” book series Legacy of the Force

@The__RA2511 This would make sense if the regulations themselves weren’t abject disaster that fans and drivers all hate and cause extremely dangerous closing speeds like what happened in the Ollie wreck. There is no change to the car within the rules that will make the refs not a disaster
English

Yeah, had a car with a closing speed roughly 40mph faster than another on a straight that caused a wreck through a *formerly* flat out corner.
Personally though, the regulations don’t even make the slightest sense to me logically, even ignoring their impact on racing to begin with, and even if you accept the false premise that they are helping the environment (F1 race cars make up about 1% of all emissions related to F1). The cars are all required to run on alternative sustainable fuel to begin with starting this year and almost nobody buys EVs to begin with, so what is the purpose of forcing them to run with 50% of their power from the battery? Who benefits from that?
English

Me when I’m too dense to understand what tampering is to begin with.
Nobody is saying “you shouldn’t offer players opportunities” they are saying “wait until the team they are currently on finishes their season as to not undermine the coach and team they are currently playing for before reaching out.” It’s a respect thing and an integrity thing, but ofc scUM fans don’t understand that.
Also, name one player Izzo has lost to the portal that has had an actual better opportunity elsewhere, I’ll wait. It’s not an issue with players leaving MSU or MSU not having money, it’s about respecting other teams and coaches and having some integrity.
English

@JonahWilson__ “I know I can’t pay this player or get him to the NBA but I’ll be steaming mad if you talk to him to offer him a better opportunity!”
English

Not cheating is childish and un-american. The Michigan difference.
Jack Lang@JacklLang
@FallGuySports @JonahWilson__ Yes. At least I hope we “tamper.” Insisting you can’t talk to players outside the portal is childish and un-American. Do a better job paying and developing your players or you’re going to lose them. Sorry. It’s what’s best for the players.
English

I think the fix will eventually be moving to a baseball style system where a nominee needs a certain % of the vote to get in but nobody is guaranteed to get in each year if nobody gets enough votes. Now, I agree that the bar is higher for the “lower” series that you are in, but like Matt Crafton is a first ballot guy imo and another title for Allgaier makes him a HOF lock (and another 5-8 wins in addition to another title probably pushes him into the argument for first ballot)

This is how we ranked the coaches that are entering the Sweet 16 👀
Who would you put at the top spot?

@T3Bracketology Well, in that scenario the first thing I’m doing whatever it takes to get Tom Izzo back coaching at MSU for the 26-27 season. Then I’ll take the Dayton job and go get them that 1 seed that they never got bc th tourney got canceled.
English

I tried to let this go bc it’s such clear rage bait, but I’m not that big of a person yet, so here I am.
What Mace Windu *actually* said was “we must act quickly if the Jedi Order is to survive”
So a few things, here
1) he made no mention of telling the council, and in fact that wouldn’t have even made sense to say bc they were all in battlefields across the galaxy anyways (Ki Adi Mundi on Mygeeto, Yoda on Kashyyyk, Obi-Wan on Utapau, etc.) so it actually would’ve wasted time trying to contact all of them and they couldn’t has done anything anyways.
2) “move quickly” in that sentence did not mean “we need to physically move quickly out of this room.” In context it clearly means “we need to form an arrest party as quickly as we reasonably can instead of taking months to plan out this arrest like we normally would.”
3) All things considered, Mace Windu handled it exactly how he was trained as a Master Jedi to do. He stayed calm, stayed present in the moment to the point he even told Anakin to stay back bc he realized Anakin was too close to the situation and couldn’t handle going with him. He the left to immediately go start planning the arrest of Palpatine. He did everything as correctly as he could at that point in time really
4) this is not to say the prequels or ROTS are perfect, but this example requires like level 1 understanding of nuance to know what was going on. They weren’t moving slow bc of the green screen, they just weren’t actually in a physical rush to do it, they still had several hours of prep time and plenty of time to finish the conversation as they walked at a normal pace.
5) you not being able to comprehend something doesn’t make it bad
English

@dalhoon_ George Lucas was fat and lazy and never got off his lazy ass to direct actors in front of a green screen.
"Omg Palpatine is a Sith Lord?!? We must hurry and tell the Council!"
Proceeds to walk slowly for the rest of the scene because they're on a green screen stage.

"Fans" really out here saying that was the 3rd worst next Gen Darlington race. Same people who say Episode III is the best Star Wars movie because it has lava fights.
Jeff Gluck@jeff_gluck
Was Darlington a good race? 77.2% of you said Yes. -- Ranks No. 12 of 18 Darlington races in the poll -- Ranks No. 7 of 9 Next Gen races at Darlington (the two last year were lower) -- Ranks No. 5 of 12 Tyler Reddick wins
English

This is an objectively horrendous take. It was never intended to be Cup only, but rather honor anyone who carved out a true legacy in nascar and made longstanding contributions to the sport through any of the various paths you can take.
Changing it to be “only the best cup drivers” is changing the very principle the NASCAR HoF was founded on to serve your opinion based on nothing but your feelings ignoring the traditions and history of the sport.
Even the NASCAR 75 greatest drivers list encompasses quite a few drivers who never made it in Cup. I bet you want to go tell Matt Crafton (and others) he doesn’t belong on that list too though
English

@SteelHorseLive “There was some rough dialogue, therefore the story was bad” - you. Literally not even worth debating if that’s your argument bc everyone knows George Lucas can’t write dialogue to save his life.
English

The original post that you commented on is very specifically about Tom Izzo, and normally when people comment under a post they are talking about said post, so it’s a reasonable conclusion to think you were talking about him.
But I guess my bad for assuming things you’d didn’t explicitly say
English

@dalhoon_ @CoachYoungNJ @issac1823 Who said anything about Izzo?
I was responding to all of the nonsense that tyrant coaches are “good”
English

Barkley dropped truth 💯
We used to CELEBRATE coaches like Pitino & Izzo. Now it’s clip-chasing to shame greatness 🤦♂️
Players don’t need soft… they need being coached hard and accountability . They need adversity. That’s LIFE.

How about you stop talking about things you know nothing about. Izzo is in no way shape or form a “tyrant first” coach and anyone who’s actually been around the program for more than 2 seconds would tell you that.
I mean I could give you paragraph after paragraph of examples of how he’s not “tyrant first” but I think all I need to do is point out that he’s publicly stated on many occasions that he loves it when players yell back at him bc it shows they care as much as he does. What tyrant wants to be challenged like that?
English

My best coaches were teachers first.
My worst coaches were tyrants first.
Teacher coaches make you want to be in the gym more or on the field more, to get better, and to actually make them proud.
Tyrant coaches make you want practice to be over, you don’t get better— you just fear making a mistake. A coach grabbing me by the face mask and dragging me into position never actually taught me anything.
All this “Watching a grown man, a millionaire, completely lose his shit on national television because a 19 year-old blew a defensive switch is GOOD, we need more of this!” is complete nonsense.
