I watched the game yesterday and here is what was very evident -- the Rockets have guys who can spot up to shoot. Sure, the Thunder hit some shots yesterday outside of Russ, but you never (NEVER) saw those guys just spotting up at the arc and waiting for a pass. Anytime they shot a 3 outside of danger time at the end…

What bothers me is both of the “Hardin is MVP” arguments lead to other people. In the “most w’s” argument Kawhi earns it, in the “all around best player” I have a hard time not giving to LeBron. So yeah, it could not be Russell, but it definitely isn’t Hardin.

The most hypocritical part of this is that he will likely get fined, BUT NBA TV, which is owned by the NBA, publicized this outburst and credited it for its “emotions.”

I’m a little mind blown at the replies you are receiving from your comments. You’re very well spoken and reasonable but people are completely misinterpreting what you’re saying. I think this is why I have had such a tough time with these sorts of conversations: Being neutral and presenting both sides of an argument…

Absolutely. For points 1 and 2, I haven’t played Witcher 3 (not sure why but it just doesn’t interest me - plus I don’t like joining game franchises in the middle) or the other two games (I will play Horizon at some point), so I am fortunate that those don’t influence my judgement at all. I’m loving Andromeda so far.

I’ve heard the narrative. I don’t see how the making of a game is at all relevant to the end-users. People don’t read into the manufacturing process of their iPhone.

It really bothers me the way people get sucked into the meta-narrative of a games development.

Easy. You simply trust that Nabisco is irredeemably racist, and go along with the boycott even though you’ve had no personal exposure to the source of the offense.

My response was dismissed, so I’m reposting it here.

Ya, overused at this point. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a comment claiming what the comic is talking about.

As far as I’ve seen, nobody’s arguing from a 1st Amendment perspective. They’re just angry that their livelihoods are being destroyed by people pressuring large companies to remove ads.

I now hate this comic due to people overposting it nonsensically​.

What you have said is one billion times more reasoned and thoughtful than that God damned cartoon that some pseudo-intellectual posts every time this subject comes up.

That’s his shtick. He posts the same thing on any post even remotely political. Then he’ll act as a moderator and delete any dissent.

Not sure why your other comment got dismissed, but I’m reposting it out of disrespect for the platform’s “dismissal” policies.

Haven’t seen anyone here making the point you’re arguing against. Is a good comic though. I just hate to see it used for no reason.

I think Arugula Boogala is taking the idea that the XKCD comic defends to it’s logical conclusion, which is corporate control over our freedom of speech, by tacitly agreeing to whatever regulations those corporations implement on their platform.

Turning the power of free speech over to corporations isn’t exactly wise and the tools of access are more important than a governing body. That’s why the most important invention in history was the printing press. Literacy freed man more than any government could, but only so long as we protected the ability to get…

“And remember, Junior, if the teacher forgets to assign homework, make sure you point that out before your classmates clear out.”

“Well, I’m sorry if you just can’t handle a fan of sport making sure the rules are followed, good sir.”, the dickbag says, just before calling the HOA about those infernal children selling their damned lemonade down the street.
