@steeevieb22@AustenJ248855@DamienPetersNBA Same. A championship with more historical value doesn’t mean other champions are any less legitimate.
Asterisks used toward any type of major accomplishment are perfect examples of social medias necessity to be negative.
@AustenJ248855@steeevieb22@DamienPetersNBA That’s not how asterisk is typically used.
Obviously some titles are far more historical than others. But most of social media uses an asterisk to mean it somehow didn’t count or isn’t a real title (I.e. the bubble.)
@TomAmeyJr@MattGeorgeSAC Yeah we learned our lesson from Keegan. He had twice the potential of Maxime and look how that’s working.
Unless it’s a Fox caliber player we can’t put too much stock into anyone. Hell we expected too much from Fox sometimes.
Kathleen Thomas was issued a citation in February after a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy pulled her over for allegedly using a phone with her right hand. But Thomas doesn't have a right hand. This week, the officer requested that the citation be dismissed.
Here's bodycam footage of the traffic stop.
@PoopJohannson@CrisisFront@ShamsCharania “Maybe don’t suck” while actively taking away opportunities to get better.
Unless your only motive is for big market teams to win then this is a dumbass take.
Newsmax: Why are college kids booing AI during graduation ceremonies?
Me: Because they did everything society told them to do — took on debt, got the degree, worked their asses off — and now they’re graduating into a brutal job market while billionaires openly brag about replacing human labor with AI and robotics. Honestly, I don’t blame them for being angry.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
I was at Safeway in Pollock Pines yesterday and felt a tap on my side.
“Excuse me son, would you mind handing me those eggs? I’m not fully grown yet!”
It was a man in his 70’s, in a wheelchair, no legs, and a Vietnam Vet hat. He was smiling and making a joke.
30 seconds prior I was muttering to myself how expensive the eggs were, and now I felt stupid for complaining about anything ever.
I handed him the eggs, thanked him for his service, and he said with a smile “you’re certainly welcome!”
I don’t know, it was a basic interaction and I’m not trying to be dramatic, but it really really really floored and humbled me. We all need perspective sometimes and it’s funny how we get it when we do.
This guy had every right to be angry at the world and everyone in it, and here he is joking and smiling about his disability.
To those with us and of course those not with us, thank you for your service and sacrifice. No amount of gratitude is enough.
And I’ll try to do better next time I find myself arguing online or something dumb, and not abusing the freedoms so many worked so hard for.

@BlitzAres@BorjomiDrinker Bunch of unemployed mfs in these comments.
Put in over 50 online applications but the 7th place I actually followed up with in person hired me on the spot.
Maybe not all the time, but It does happen. Mfs just lazy.
