Abandoning concern over things that are beyond your control is one of the core insights of Buddhism, and is central to the general modern concept of mindfulness. You see it quoted many ways, but Shantideva made the following point:

It’s not Klay’s contract, it’s a provision in the CBA that applies to everybody. 

So you’re telling me that while being interviewed by people that could potentially have influenced his salary over his next contract, said group of people had the opportunity to tell him “Sorry bud, you missed out on $30 million. How do you feel about that?”

I really didn’t want to watch Jusuf Nurkic’s floppy leg. But I did.

LMFTFY

I believe her, but the comment “Nobody innocent hangs themself” is extremely problematic.

I remember Rip Hamilton, back during the Pistons’ championship-and-then-almost-another-one run, talking about how he specifically trained to run more than most NBA guys do because it meant he could just torture his defender with endless weaving and cutting until he finally got an open look. This is like that, only if H…

it’s equally clear that the reason GS and Houston don’t like each other is that the Rockets’ best players and culture-setters are world-class assholes

Narrator: They did not get one

His point is more that the older generations are much more prone to not changing their minds and would prefer to be in their echo chamber, which is exactly how people manipulate the internet to their advantage. So wasting your time with them isn’t worth it compared to generations that have grown up using the internet…

“Every taxi fare from JFK to Manhattan costs $52. No matter what. How is that not price-fixing?”

I’m not sure I get Lillard’s complaint here. In slow mo it appears Igoudala and him do tangle elbows, but there was just as much grabbing from Iggy as there was a push off from Lillard. Even if the refs call the foul, that gives the Trail Blazers two free throws and gets the Warriors the ball back with less than 5…

They reaped the monitary rewards from the plant while it was open, they should have to deal with the pollution it caused, rather than shipping the waste somewhere else. This is NIMBY at it’s worst.

The Mills have never taken issue with the DOE facility, but they don’t want this landfill. They’d rather see all this junk shipped off to disposal sites in the Southwest, where some low-level waste has already been sent. After all, what if the landfill leaks?

You know who “deserves” Zion? The San Antonio Spurs, who held it together through a superstar deserting them via strong organizational culture and smart development of players. Or the Portland Trailblazers, who got over a devastating playoff sweep last year through strong organizational culture and smart development…

The Warriors are better with Durant but it's definitely fun to see Curry slide back into the lead role and remind everyone why he was the consensus MVP. 

Boomers: “You kids don’t work these days!”

That ball spent so much time on the rim Derek Jeter just proposed to it

The Levorg is a distant second to the Golf R wagon, maybe even a distant turd. I think I’d even take a Ford Focus ST estate before that, despite the lack of AWD.

Bring back the Country Syncro!
