@xwanyex Yep. However, the fact that Pete, before this incident, would probably have blindly supported CPS and big government intervention against families minimizes any possible sympathy.
@xwanyex It's always interesting how the talking points of 19th century white racists and modern wokes are the exact same but draw different conclusions.
@BalesSJustin We have no evidence that a better offer was on the table. Ball has been to 1 all star game (5 years ago), can't stay healthy, cost the rookie max, shoots 40% from the floor, barely goes to the line, and is a middling 3 pt shooter and bad defender. Basically Trae Young trade value
@HistoryBoomer You can tell they don't do or socialize with anyone who does technical manual labor. It's downwardly mobile bourgeoisie cosplaying as the working class who have no idea what it takes to actually run a civilization.
@financedystop Marketing. He needs to justify it as minimizing his carbon footprint and not buying into burgeosie capitalism. Pepper in pro-DEI language about not wanting to contribute to the patriarchy and heteronormative whyte blah blah blah and he can at least fuck some green haired chicks.
@vol212320 My family used to go to Canada all the time living in northern Maine, and considered moving there in the 90s. Even bought some property in Cape Breton. When 9/11 happened, a large chunk of family friends casually brought up how the US deserved it. Was one of the first manias.
@xwanyex When you're only being antagonistically misread by people who have explicit intellectual taboos and dogmas there's no solution to it. Simple mention of the heresy being considered will always drive them to madness.
@MikeyNohMore The overarching Cosmere concept is quite cool. And his covid Kickstarter books were all enjoyable reads. If you don't go to him expecting Tolkien he's a good read and very prolific.
@peterrhague Yes, I expect an anti social person who when not monitored 24/7 could throw a toddler into a crocodile enclosure should in fact be held in a locked room. Also calling that a 'learning disability' is fucking retarded dude. What a useless euphemism.
@Victor_Lucas 'Hey Bob your game didn't hit any of our purchase or subscription goals despite our massive investment.'
'But Bill, we won so many awards in Canada!.'
'Oh, never mind Bob. Please burn more of my money in a pit.'
@AustenJ248855@mattyglesias Westbrook wouldn't have taken a pay cut/bench move either. We saw Westbrook + Durant OKC not win, then Westbrook + Harden not win on the rockets, Durant + Harden implode together on the Nets. Pretty much a solved 'what if' with the three of them.
