They should be nicer

This is just funny. A big part of the conservative movement is pointing at other people and calling them “snowflakes” when they are the biggest bitches on the planet.

Right?

Russia could end the war it started right now. And leave. It chooses not to.

The United States sucks ass right now. Please, by all means, take charge without us.

I hate this dumbshit as much as trump, but we shouldn't be sharing fake twitter posts. It doesn't help anything.

The Americans that already like trump only listen to/watch media that will NEVER tell them what he's doing is illegal. That media only reinforces their own views that brown people are bad, and anything to hurt them will help the white Americans - even if all this illegal stuff hurts the white Americans, too.

The first planes only flew for a few seconds.

It's really aggravating that the "death panels" are literally the insurance companies.

They got people scared about the thing they already had, where the solution was getting rid of the "death panels" (insurance).

What’s also wild to me is if these were buddies of Jesus, they had this story of his birth, then nothing for thirty years, then a couple things, then death.

Where are all the stories about teenage Jesus doing sick jumps off a camel or whatever? We are missing a few decades of knowledge about this supposed most important person ever.

I remember when I learned all the gospels were written decades after the “fact.”

I can’t remember what I ate for lunch yesterday, and we are supposed to believe people played a game of telephone for a few decades and got everything correct when writing it down?

Sure, Jan.

They won’t shut down anything and then say, “See? We work across the aisle!”

No one will remember or care. And in two years they’ll lose more ground, and we’ll have another 100 think pieces on “What the Democrats Did Wrong.”

I’m not saying shutting down the government is the answer that’ll solve all the problems. But as better people have said: the democrats are over here looking in the rule book to see if a dog can play basketball while the republicans are dunking over and over.

They have to figure out a better way to combat a group actively tearing down the government illegally. I don’t know what that is. But also I wasn’t elected to find out. They were. So they need to figure it out.

Being unqualified is basically a requirement to rise in the ranks in the GOP.

 

This is a pretty great, long form post about the structure of Bluesky, and how it's largely kinda pretending to be decentralized at the moment. I'm not trying to make a dig at it. I've enjoyed the platform myself for a while, but it's good to learn more about how it actually works.

This article was shared on Mastodon via its author here.

 

This is largely a silly post, but I'm curious if anyone has any fun conspiracy theories. Like why does Tataru need that knife on her belt? Is it because she's got some NEFARIOUS dealings going on to get all that money?

More so, I just wanted to see if anyone else believes that the Random Mount button isn't fully "random." I swear I see the same handful of mounts summoned more than others. If I see the Manacutter or Yol summoned ONE MORE TIME, I swear...

 

It’s now been about a month (somehow) since Dawntrail launched, so I assume most of us have finished the MSQ, and I’m curious about your thoughts!

For me, I actually really enjoyed not being the center of attention the whole time. It was a nice palette cleanser from the last ten years. It was fun to tag along see this whole new continent. Of course, things do end up getting more serious than that, and I was impressed they were able to get me to care about all these new people so quickly.

The new dungeons and group content all felt good. I liked that none of it seemed to be pushovers, and myself and my friends died several times figuring out the various boss battles — which is a good thing!

I just finished the story last night so I’m now at the point where there are some new quests which I assume will open up some new content. So I have no opinion there yet.

But what about you all?

 

I’m about halfway through the story at this point, but I’ve really been enjoying these new starting zones.

Something that I never really did with the previous expansions is try and do a lot of side quests as I go. It’s been fun to learn more about these new characters and their cultures.

 

Inject it into my veins.

 

NOOOO MY DARLING BOY

Four years removed from being a first-round draft pick, Aleksej Pokuševski's tenure with the Oklahoma City Thunder has come to an end.

The Thunder announced on Friday they have waived the 22-year-old forward.

Pokuševski was originally selected with the 17th overall pick in the 2020 draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, who traded his rights to Oklahoma City in a three-team deal that also involved the New York Knicks. He was the youngest player in that draft class The trade has turned out to be very notable for all three teams involved. Minnesota acquired the draft rights to Jaden McDaniels, while the Knicks got the rights to Immanuel Quickley.

 

This came up in my YouTube recommendations, and it’s pretty fun to watch as a Thunder fan.

 

I really try to not complain about the refs, but that was one of the worst calls of all time.

 

I was at the game tonight, and based off of the fact that Chet got more points and he’s on our team and I’m biased, I officially declare Chet the better player.

This long boi rivalry has officially begun.

(Realtalk: it was very fun to watch both of them play. This is going to be a good season.)

 

So I have a weird one for you guys, and I’d like to see if anyone has ever come up across this one.

This is a Messages bug, and as far as I can tell it’s only on iPad since I’ve never seen this on my phone that has the same chats in it.

Basically it goes like this: I have a group chat with a few friends, and on iPad every so often when I open Messages and it’s on that chat (since that was the last place I left off) it’ll show me not the current state of the chat, but three messages (and only those three messages) from somewhere back in 2022.

I can only scroll up and down as far as those three messages will allow. It’s as if those are the only messages available to me.

However, if I tap the group chat again in the list, it goes back to normal. Loads everything and is fine.

I’ve never seen this happen on my phone, just my iPad. I was hoping the new update would fix it, but alas.

Has anyone ever run into this? I’m about to just tell them we need a new group chat.

 
  • Chet is back and healthy, looking good in summer league.
  • Wallace looks like he’ll be a good addition.
  • We were one bad game away from the playoffs last year

So…is this the year we start really trying? Not saying were weren’t trying before, but you know what I mean.

If not, what other pieces do we actually need? We can’t just keep waiting on new draft picks and waiting on them to get their NBA legs year after year.
