Holy shit... Wired reports that back in May, the U.S. Military was testing an experimental GPS jammer and and caused a civilian plane to crash into the side of a mountain, killing everyone on board.
J.R. Smith says he regrets wasting $60,000 in strip clubs when he could've helped his community
“I got Paul George sitting right here. I got DeMar DeRozan right here. I got Russell Westbrook sitting right here. I'm literally sitting next to all of these dudes who are LA guys”
“I'm like, ‘Bro, I'm not counting your chips, but everybody else is. You make $200 million, you make $200 million, you make $175 million, you make $150 million, you make $180 million. Why don't y'all have your own gym? Why we got to go to UCLA to work out in LA every time?”
“Y'all come from the exact same community. You want to inspire kids that look like you. All it takes is five of us. What bank gonna turn us down. We 'bout to build this whole thing out for our community. We're gonna build gyms, rec centers, start leagues and all that. Who's gonna stop us. We got the money. We don't have the mindset”
“Our mindset, we'd rather go throw $60,000 in the club, in the strip club, than go feed 2,500 people in the hood. Think about it. I've done it. I can't sit here and be like, ‘Oh man, I'm a hypocrite.’ I've done this myself. I've thrown money in the club, literally blindly, aimlessly, drunk. And now I sit back, ‘I'm a stupid ass.’ I could have fed my whole community 10 times over with the money I was just late on the bus”
“Because I'm so wrapped into me. I got that Eurocentric mindset. I need this designer jacket. I need these jeans. I need this book bag. I need to be looking like this because the vets got this thing, I'm pushing this car, I'm doing... Why? Who am I impressing. I'm not even fulfilled with me”
You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.
I love hoop, but I'm good on the soap opera.
There are six games left in the season. The guys are playing hard and the games are important. This is pre-playoffs playoffs. This is one of the best times of the hoop year.
But I'm not really seeing much coverage of the games or talk about the players or the season. (Minus MVP race stuffs.)
Instead, my FYP is populated with the Pistons/TMac story, the Ivey story, the Cuban selling story, and now the BClarke story.
Those are all worth knowing about, sure, but man, I wish I was seeing detailed breakdowns of Paul George's return, the wrinkles that have come back to the Celtics offense with Tatum's comeback, the Nuggets Jekyll and Hyde offense and defense, and Julian Champagnie being 6 threes away from setting the Spurs' team record. Shoot, I'd even like to read up on Daeqwon Plowden out in Sacramento.
Don't get me wrong: The big stories pay the bills, keep peopled tuned into network TV, keep casuals scrolling. But...and maybe it's just my For You, I'd love to see more talk about the actual game, see more love for the game, and less of the other stuff.
@buckhunter2255@trafficparadise People that actually turn wrenches don’t give af what other people do unless it affects them. Cosplaying as a blue collar worker to seem tough online is sad
@SZade15@saiyytama I don’t know whether im more shocked about them thinking everyone does this or the fact they still get 5000 dollars monthly while they commit what nazis did and more
