its almost like these tech guys understand that they dont have good taste so they are trying to turn it into this quantifiable set of data points instead of this mysterious, ineffable quality derived from going out and engaging with culture!
@Bryan_350@ClutchPoints Taylor Jenkins said that. He said it was disrespectful to even ask about Ja while he dealt with a mental health issue (this was after strip club gun incident)
@duhman23@ClutchPoints I'm bipolar and used to blame all my bad decisions on my brain not functioning normally. Then I realized I was using it as an excuse not to try to improve myself. It's called growing up.
No way to know for sure, but boy it sure looks like he used some form of PEDs for an illicit purpose and then gave a "sorry, I take full responsibility" speech while using mental health to cover up the fact he was doing so in an attempt to minimize the PR hit.
FWIW:
1: 25 games is the suspension for PED use.
2: There's almost no legitimate intersection with mental health meds and PEDs among standard treatment.
3: No legitimate physician would possibly be dumb enough to prescribe something questionable to George.
4: If he did try all alternatives except for the rare weird stuff that does end up on the PED list, he could have applied for and gotten granted a therapeutic exception.
5: George, his agent, his doctor would have all been aware of all of the above. All of whom are likely getting yearly training on these topics.
6: If it was really an innocent mistake, sure seems like it would be worth filing an appeal or naming the drug he was taking and showing it.
Only George knows for certain, but his actions and common sense would led you to believe this was not an innocent mistake, nor a guilty person coming clean, but a guilty person trying to hide what they were doing and minimize the PR hit.
FWIW, I don't give a shit about George, nor do I care all that much about PED use in basketball, but either his story is complete BS or he's one of the dumbest humans alive, hired one of the dumbest physicians alive, and has one of the dumbest agents alive, because all 3 would need to be true to have had this happen accidentally and come up with this response to the news.
F this. My brother-in-law bought me a dog muzzle for Christmas because I “couldn’t help myself around the gingerbread cookies last year.” Made me put it on in front of my whole family and try to eat a cookie through it. Everyone laughed. No one said, “No. Stop. Not on Christmas.”
@kmedved Would you ever consider changing the default colors for the player comparison charts? For instance this chart, besides Dillingham, is damn near unreadable for colorblind people.
Something like yellow, light/medium blue, forest green, and black/grey would do wonders 🙂
Robin Williams' daughter Zelda tells fans: “Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad.”
“If you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to ‘this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that’s enough’, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.”
"And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it ‘the future,’ AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume."
