There’s no argument that needs to be made. Claiming that adding an amazing player to a historically good team is “good for the league” is a goofy statement. Why not the Bulls, who have arguably some of the most devoted fans? Or the Cavs, really give the Warriors a run for their money for BEST TEAM EVAR status? Or the…

Throw Crowder for Smart and I think the Pels’ GM takes the offer and starts fist pumping as soon as they hang up the phone. Brad Stevens does the same. I hate the C’s (Bulls fan), but that is an electric trade.

I didn’t realize there were so many people who have never watched the NBA before, nor understand how trades work. Davis to Boston for Horford, some picks, and a few spare parts? To Golden State for Klay Thompson and some jerseys they’ve got lying around?

“Boston having Davis would also be good for the league.”

Fucking CORRECT. I remember reading the Yankees wanted Schwarb as part of the Chapman trade, and my first reaction was GOOD. Heyward’s bat has been terrible, but he saved probably three runs that I can think of in the Dodgers series by being an outstanding defender, and when their bats have been ice cold, it’s been…

The problem with this is that you have to have a very specific angle on your sandwich, i.e. standing upright, or near to it. Hunched over a desk like a troll (like me!) the vacuum would have to be digging into my neck for this to work.

I’ve thought some more about this, and I’m probably picking nits in a big way, but it seems like there’s a LOT of gray in that answer. I’m just being nosey, so feel free to ignore, but what about, say, lawmakers who sign/endorse anti-LGBT legislation without being a full throated bigot? Or even just Republicans who…

Sincere question: do you follow that same reasoning when it applies to closeted anti-gay politicians/activists? I’m just vengeful enough where I think that they should be outed as forcefully as possible, even if they’re doing something more in the gray area, like hiring gay sex workers.

Mine aren’t NEARLY as good as the above, but I like them, so here goes.

O, how I have been shown the error of my ways! Lo, lo, thank you for showing me a single quote on the internet that I hath made, when there is no accounting for timing, or the fact that I had to deal with shitlickers like you! To repent, I shall rend my clothing, and wear a hair shirt, and retreat to the wilderness to…

Well, your points were purely philosophical and were far too abstract to actually be useful or interesting in the context of what was actually happening. The mods weren’t defining anime as a genre; they were defining what was supposed to be discussed in their sub. You were arguing that the two were the same, but…

How is it that Pitino has so many potential jokes, and I can’t come up with a good one right now???

Ha! Still more work than it was worth

And I agree! WHY ARE WE YELLING???

As John Smoltz put it last night, it was a millimeter of an inch difference.

Thank GOD the humor police didn’t let that one slide

There have been some SCORCHING hot takes on that not-a-run last night, when it was adjudicated pretty well overall.

The Sad Puppies are objectively dicks, but they don’t have the ability or right to change YOUR own definition of sci-fi. But if you go to a Sad Puppies subreddit and start discussing diverse sci-fi as the only kind of sci-fi worth reading, they’ll dismiss you and they’re well within their rights to do so.

They were hypocritical, sure, and you can even say they were wrong/incorrect and I won’t disagree with you. But it doesn’t change that it’s their sub and they can do what they want with it.
