And to think that if only Magic had stuck around for another 2 months we would all be lauding him as the next Jerry West or starting immediate comparisons with Bird again, this time for their executive work.

The free speech argument is laughable, but it makes me wonder why more people don’t use the ignore function, and why games have limited the ability to ignore specific players lately. Overwatch is a good example. During their push a couple years ago to reduce toxicity, they were touting their new social ranking system,…

I’d be more worried about using shitty gifs that don’t include the entire text at once. Here you go.

That's Dora's older brother

Do you also believe TV commercials? C'mon man.

He didn't say Houston was coastal.

That’s the Houston illiteracy I remember from before I escaped. Re-read the comment you replied to.

You assume there’s any kind of accountability for what the bloggers do in banning users. The fact that there’s no way to appeal a ban, and that bloggers are able to shadowban users is a thing (where your comments appear posted to you, but are not visible to anyone else) should tell you otherwise.

> LeBron James might have just gotten the best teammate of his career after essentially taking a year off to live the life of a Hollywood celebrity...

This sounds like a Family Guy bit.

FYI, next time your idiot friends wonder why comedy skews liberal, it’s because you morons don’t understand satire or sarcasm. And no, what Trumplethinskin does isn’t either of those, except to the extent that his army of imbeciles he calls his base thinks he's "smart", or "successful", or "not a crook".

I haven’t followed this particularly close, but weren’t there multiple reports of teams being turned down by Keuchel because offers weren’t what he wanted in years?

But what about Dolphin and Whale?

You basically have to hope a kotaku employee is in a good mood to add you to the list. It’s a terrible system created to prevent shitposting and spam, and instead creates 2 classes of users on the website.

I'm bringing this out of the grays so that your stupid take is visible for everyone.

I’ve had similar experiences. I‘m friends with a couple guys whose families are each worth in the mid 9 figures. It took nearly a decade knowing them before I was clued into exactly how much money their families had. They always appeared rich but not substantially richer than me or anyone we knew.

> Donald Trump’s taste is difficult to describe.

If you choose to sit courtside, you do it knowing that a player might come flying in your direction. Lowry has no responsibility to protect the spectators here. If that’s a problem for you, sit farther away.

Counterpoint: the dismiss button is a terrible addition to any open forum. The grays system is enough to decrease visibility to posts by idiots, and allowing those awful replies to stay on the website means the rest of us can identify said idiots in the future.
