The quality of the sports would suffer from spreading the talent of 30-32 team leagues across 50 teams.

Many would not do well financially - there's a reason states like the Dakotas, Wyoming, etc. don't have pro teams already, and some current teams would likely suffer from potentially losing fans from neighboring states that don't currently have teams.

If you intend it to be that players play for the team of the state they're from, you're going to have wildly unbalanced teams. If the typical draft/free agency/trade rules stay anything remotely similar to how it works now, then you're going to have probably an even worse problem than we already do with players focusing on playing in big markets - or at least, not the many small markets.

Sorry, but there's just really nothing good about this proposal.

I'm a little out of the loop here. What'd Disney do to piss DeSatan off so bad?

Put out some mild opposition to the original "Don't Say Gay" bill

As far as photos of Tucker go, that's not even a bad one

My mom is my neighbor and we have a good relationship, and it's still fairly common to go 3 weeks without hanging out.

Impressions specifically? I only watch occasional clips, but seems to me like he does Biden impressions way more often than Trump.

Draymond Green, the only man athletic enough to win the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year award and also be so unathletic that every time another human being comes close to him he immediately loses all body control and starts accidentally flailing around in ways that coincidentally involve kicking dudes in the nuts, gouging people's eyes, stomping on people and looking like you're deliberately rolling onto/into people and holding them down. It's really unfortunate that he was born with such a debilitating physical condition that forces him to do these things against his will.

^^^^^
No, stomping on Sab's chest was not the only option he had for maintaining balance. And he has a long-witnessed habit of hitting/hurting guys when there's the slightest bit of plausible deniability, of being the one who starts these situations (not this time, but typically if there's any sort of tangling of limbs, he keeps it going/escalates it, trying to draw a whistle), of being completely unapologetic when someone does get hurt - even taunting the crowd in the immediate aftermath of this particular incident.

They're not my team but I like the Warriors. I like Draymond's game at its best. have defended his value as a player plenty of times and even a few of the incidents he's been involved in. But there's no denying that he just keeps pulling shit that should not be brushed off, and this one was particularly bad. I'd have argued for a longer suspension.

I still feel like Sabonis was trying to cover up his head and didn't intentionally grab Dray's leg (because when he fell backwards and landed with his arms above his head, Dray's foot was already between his head and arm). Some will disagree, that's fine and I'm not saying anyone's right or wrong there, and I'd agree that if unintentional he could have released the leg as soon as he felt it. But still, he released it once Draymond started to lift that foot. A technical is fine and I think calls for anything more are silly (and largely based off exaggerations/blatantly false things, like Klay Thompson saying Draymond was sprinting when the grab happened).

If ur flying 1 parent + 2 kids you rather fly economy where you can all 3 sit together. First class only has 2 seats next to each other.

I mean, he said private, not first class.

Is it playing random songs in the middle of your playlist? Or moving on to random songs after your playlist finishes?

If the latter, that's just the default behavior- after a playlist ends it'll keep playing things it finds related to those songs. I think you can change that in settings.

If the former... I don't know, never tried making playlists before I got premium.

Not the "based"/racial aspect to a theme park, but:

https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/17/politics/desantis-disney-takeover-florida/index.html

Later on Monday, DeSantis suggested the state might build a prison or its own theme park next door to Walt Disney World.

Come to think of it now, people are like, well, what should we do with this land? DeSantis said. Maybe create a state park. Maybe try to do more amusement parks. Someone even said like, maybe you need another state prison. I mean, who knows? I mean, I just think that the possibilities are endless.

What added/extended scenes?

Seabass + Lloyd in the bathroom is longer with Seabass showing he's wearing leopard panties and more "about to get raped" sort of jokes, then more jokes about that latter as they're driving. In the hot tub, Lloyd is listening to people having sex in the next room and tells Harry he'd be all over him if he had big tits or something. The waitress blowing bubbles into Harry's drink, and Seabass hocking a loogie is drawn out a lot more. A bunch of jokes about Harry's ski suit.

Just a lot more unnecessary gross-out/90s homophobic jokes and shots that pretty much all fall flat.

Yep. Though I'd specify the theatrical release - the added/extended scenes in the unrated version are awful and really jarring from the perfection otherwise.

Oops, voted for 5 then remembered a 6th

The first three games I ever went to were at Key Arena. RIP Sonics
@ Portland Blazers several times in recent years
@ Utah Jazz once (they're my team, but I live in Alaska) in '09
@ Chicago Bulls for a preseason game in like '07
@ Golden State Warriors last November
And the one I forgot, @ Phoenix Suns once in '11

I guess the highlighted is the $7B loss he's referring to. Then it bounced back up $2.4B from yesterday to today.

I wonder what woke agenda caused their multiple ~$14B two-week losses last August/September from which they seemed to come back just fine.

CableZL posted...

I dunno, LOL. NBA teams dont often go 50% from the free throw line, do they?

Not often, no. But the whole correlation/causation thing, and the fact that these guys already shoot a ton of free throws with practically all 20k people in the building yelling (with loud whistling as they're about to shoot being common too). Plain old cold stretches happen, guys missing a couple then it getting in their heads leading to continued bad shooting, etc.

No_U_L7 posted...

in basketball, the crowd is encouraged to make noise while the opposing player shoots free throws. they even drop "thunder sticks" from the ceiling to distract the opposing players

Yeah, really the only reason that this story could, well, become a story, is because she was screaming at the home team when it was quiet otherwise, lol. And it'd be some BS to kick someone out for that.

And it's a funny story, but tbqh, I doubt it really affected any of them.

ah, gotcha. I think our womens team is pretty good? I don't know I don't follow it.

I assume you're thinking of the US women's national team, for international play. The MLS is just an American pro soccer league, like the NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL. It has no women's teams; their equivalent league in the US is the NWSL.

reminder the wolves traded 5 firsts for a player that makes them worse

5 firsts and Walker mf'ing Kessler, who as a rookie was already looking like nearly the same player Gobert is but 10 years younger, ~1/12th the cost, and without the stone hands and baby deer awkwardness.

We only had one here briefly, I and basically everybody else ignored it because it was really not needed and they soon changed the signage to better address the issue: those people turning right just needed to look out for and yield to cars coming from their right that were making legal U-turns on their green.

If I was driving somewhere new and came across one, nah, I'd obey it.

Just getting down to the contiguous US requires either putting my car on a ~7 hour ferry ride and then driving ~30 hours, or a 3-day ferry ride. Then, Google is saying ~17 hours from Bellingham to Stockton.

Which is not cool if true, but unless I'm missing something, all there seems to be video/police mention of at this point is protesters breaking in on the speech and following as she was led away.

Thanks for the heads up.
My Costco app is showing $89.99 for that 4-pack, but even better: the $50 cards are on sale for $39.99 and you can buy two. Same price and digital delivery.

Aww, that was the exact quote and response I wanted to post.

Yeah. Mainly because I work for the dealership, but they're nice basic frames and I think it looks better with them than without. Just never cared enough to look for different ones.

That was some pretty bad driving tbh. You can see the tire starting to come loose but the guy still speeds up right next to the truck

If you're staring at the truck's tires, you can kinda see it wobble a bit as he changes lanes. I certainly wouldn't fault any driver for not noticing that.

Thought about this video as I was driving on the highway behind a city maintenance truck with several tires in the back.

I'm sure I'll end up getting TotK soon after I've played through that, just haven't been paying much attention to all that news (and for some reason, googling for its release date gave me Hogwarts Legacy's release date + Wikipedia page? lol)

McGee said she believed the $100,000 would act as a down payment and in return, the billionaire reportedly promised he would invest millions of dollars in the school, NBC affiliate WESH first reported.

How tf do people fall for scams like this. Like, it's not even investing a new business/project they're guaranteeing returns on. It's straight up "I'm going to give you millions, but first you have to give me $100k."

Sex scene. Still weird to say that when she was 15 and he was 23, but he was asked about his best sex scene.

If he was really dating her at those ages, obviously that's fucked up too.

Did there ever turn out to be anything with certain blood types being less susceptible?

Don't lust after the crazy ones!

I'm curious if I end up killing her in the end or just doing the "let's cut off that hand for ya" tactic. I did that to 9th Sister and I did it to various enemies, so it's really the jedi move du jour. Hopefully they don't wuss out and have her sacrifice herself in a moment of redemption, fall into a pit of lava to rob me of my victory, etc.

Ooh, I enjoyed the ending and am excited to see your reaction to it.

Don't know wtf has been going on with his recovery, but it's too bad. Probably wasn't ever going to look like a worthy #2 pick, but he moved past the Lavar distractions and had become a solid starter - a good playmaker and great defender who could shoot well enough to keep defenses honest. Now just hope the guy can get back on the floor again some day.
