The arena DJ immediately playing “I Believe I Can Fly” is so perfect. It’s been the same guy for over 20 years. Always has the perfect song for any situation. One of the first in the league to start doing player-specific goal songs.

Definitely not, he lifted his entire body at exactly the wrong time.
There’s plenty of good reason not to use a taser on someone who’s mentally ill, especially if you’re unsure of whether or not they’re responding due to decompensated schizophrenia (mental illness), behavioral side effects of severe hypoglycemia (medical illness), or perhaps they’re in excited delirium because they…
Teachers are given training to restrain students (especially special ed teachers) and they’re told by their unions not to use the techniques for the fear of being sued into the ground. even when they get attacked by students theyre told not to defend themselves because the students injuries can trump the teacher’s…
Cops in NYC make bank. And have amazing retirement and health benefits. Most police officers make considerably more than the national average. Many police forces won’t hire officers over a certain IQ level because they fear that more intelligent officers will get bored.
This reminds me of when I was a nurse in a locked inpatient elderly psych facility. We had a policy that if a patient completely lost their shit we’d call and have them shipped over to the ER for assessment. Psychotic breaks in elderly psych patients can be because of things like urinary infections or other health…
Mental health workers get paid much less, have probably just as little training, and if they were caught defending themselves from an attack they would be fired and possibly have charges pressed against them.
So... same park 30 years apart and the hosts are all exactly the same and all acting in the same exact narratives?
Why do people assume Ford is in the wrong here? By not wanting/encouraging the hosts to have consciousness, he is sparing them from endless pain, while Bernard (and presumably Arnold in the past) is encouraging them to suffer.
“These violent delights have violent ends.”
I stand by the idea that the original Westward movie is canon and that the MIB was the only survivor of the movie.
I feel like the two timelines thing can be dispelled instantly with something that I never see anyone mention, yet seems pretty obvious - the hosts have been made more realistic and lifelike over time. We know this from when Ford was drinking with the old model cowboy-bot in cold storage. We also know that they get…
Also to add, this story of her shooting him in the barn has definitely happened before. When she goes to save her mom, she remembered getting shot by the other man there and knew to change her plan. So, it could easily have been a separate timeline when she stumbles into Williams camp.
I think the Man in Black is in the Present. I think the Maze has a special prize of uploading a Guest consciousness into an immortal Host body, which will be a Yule Brenner clone for MiB. His naturally sadistic consciousness will further corrupt Host AI to bring the Season2 ruckus.
You don’t know where you are, do you?
You’re in a prison of your own sins.
It doesn’t seem like the NBA should be doing anything until a ruling or judgement is made. Of course they dealt with players who plead guilty to a crime differently than a player who is vigorously defending a lawsuit.
Taylor and Collison plead guilty and got suspended. Rose denies any wrongdoing. Apples and oranges comparison there.
A Gawker writer with no ethics? How could that happen? Welcome home to the roost, chickens.
This is contrasted to the cases of NBAers Jeffery Taylor and Darren Collison, who were suspended 24 and eight games, respectively, by the league after pleading guilty to misdemeanor offenses.
Okay, so this is the first real life thing to freak me out in a long time. Here it goes.
