    NBA 2023-24 Season Thread - The Lakers Lose, America Wins

    Well, yeah, the NBA has always had the problem where too many regular season games felt unimportant and unnecessary, especially in the modern era where smart coaches would start resting players. The NBA season really started being worth watching right at the start and the playoffs. Pretending...

    NBA 2023-24 Season Thread - The Lakers Lose, America Wins

    You remind of my demoralized boomer father in law who is constantly confused because I don't want to eat fast food burgers and he says "but I thought you liked hamburgers." Yeah, exactly, I like hamburgers, so I don't want to eat some shit tier, overpriced fast food burger. I love basketball...

    NBA 2023-24 Season Thread - The Lakers Lose, America Wins

    I like watching the basketyball because the bench players got an extra $500k is a weird argument that I feel is only being made by "fans" because the talking heads were fed that messaging and it's now getting repeated as a real reason. See also the idea that the NBA was just fine as a product...

    NBA 2023-24 Season Thread - The Lakers Lose, America Wins

    Happened to be on while I was cooking dinner. Caught the intro, then the court, then Doris and Doc. Ugh. Then flipping channels later caught LeBron bitching about a foul call where he was clearly hooking a guy To be fair, though, I do like to have actual observable complaints to call out the...

    It'll only run out when they completely destroy the middle class, but there are still so many people eager to jump into the rat race that's probably never going to happen. The middle class is being redefined not as building a life, which was a challenge, but by having things that make life...

    NBA 2023-24 Season Thread - The Lakers Lose, America Wins

    The top NBA analysts are talking about this stupid in-season tournament like it adds another championship to LeBoon's legacy and the best response you can muster is some lame ass retort that I've only ever heard women utter thinking they've made a point. Feel free to tell us what was so great...

    Reminds me of the hooters in Boise I thought was cursed with mediocre talent until I went to one in Atlanta. I think my joke was that they should call it pooters, be cause it was all fat black asses and the food was shit, too. Edit: high school age so was primed to give all benefit of the doubt...

    NBA is bizarre. Stephen A talking about this dumb in-season tournament and how the Pacers have more to gain since the Lakers already have so many championships. Wilbon counters that another would be very nice. Like, what in the actual fuck? These dumb fuckers talking like this horse shit is...

    Dinner and a show? Hah The CosMc's seems like a marketing ploy because McDonald's is touting they're redoing a bunch of their recipes or whatever. Brioche is the food industry's new hot item they're getting in on, for example. A bunch of people who are definitely not just paid influencers have...

    Healthy? I said fresh, and it is. They still make beans and rice daily from scratch or so hry claim. The fried crisp burritos are what I usually get. I'm weird maybe but dip them into their chipotle ranch and then dip and stick a jalapeno onto the end. Makes a good bite. Haven't been in so...

    Wtf. How do people eat a $16 crunch wrap like a this is fine meme. Thankfully I'm nowhere near Seattle. Used to visit family there as a kid. Haven't been since before COVID in 2019. It's a beautiful area and formerly awesome city being completely ruined.

    The quasi fast food mini chain Mexican places are where it's at. Remind me of the mom and Pop burger stands before most got put out of business by fast food chains. I guess Mexican is cheap enough to produce they can still compete. In Spokane there is a place like that called Senior Froggy's...

    Taco Time is pretty good if you're actually wanting fresh and flavorful Mexican fast food. Yes. Yes it's way overpriced for mostly beans and rice and shit like everywhere else. Sadly a lot of people say they don't like it, but mistake it for Taco Johns that is dog shit in my area.

    You already don't use delivery services and then do their work for them by happily matching off to Walgreens to effectively deliver your own package to yourself?

    Aktshully, it's not that Florida necessarily has a higher rate of crazy shit. There's some kind of state law where it gets out easier. When I was working on the court system locally we'd get a ton of crazy shit come through, in search warrants in particular, but it was never made public or...

    Sure, sure. And people can drive to a store instead of dealing with online shopping and delivery. There are technically always other options, so now nothing should ever bother someone because technically there is some option for them to avoid ever potentially having to deal with a bunch of...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I was outside shoveling snow in my driveway once when they said they attempted delivery but nobody was available to sign. Just say delayed due to weather. The other day they said the front door was inaccessible, I guess because of the light layer of leaves that fell in the two days since I...

    I mean, maybe people are extra annoyed as more stupid shit gets repeated in the gaming industry over time and lessons aren't learned? Seems pretty normal. Not sure such a mundane complaint necessitates such a hyperbolic response.

    The "$5" Bell Breakfast box is $6.99 here. That's the WA upcharge for retarded liberals policies like the artificial minimum wage and benefits for all even though I'm in a conservative area. Liberalism, not even once. AM crunch wrap is $4.79. Not sure it's worth $2.20 for a hash brown and...

    It's not credible to criticize the delayed PC launch model because a console someone may not want as a PC gamer has other good games.... That's not even good trolling.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    When the shit is wrong, the answer is simple. Don't do it. Don't play by their rules. You don't have to use their delivery service or forced corporate partnerships. It's the same idea as civil disobedience except in this case there's no government involved. Don't participate in the parts of...

    What I need to know is if we can call our romantic choom over to any apartment, is it a booty call? I mean I'm not jerking it to video games like it's the one cute wood elf model in EQ or anything, but new settings for hooking up might be worth buying other properties. Guessing they'll never...

    If you buy a car with any software the company still controls or basically owns then you're part of the problem and deserve every but of what you get. If you buy a TV, or a phone, or ever use any programs for work, or think you own a digital video game... Etc. I'm a firm believer in Prof Ted...

    Mac and cheese was very common, both for poor kids getting boxed stuff and real homemade stuff its ubiquitous. Liver and onions is very old fashioned and not at all common.

    Most gen x and younger white women I know either say they don't like to cook or profess a love for cooking but do everything in an instant pot (meaning they obviously hate to cook). And they're uppity as hell about it when men like me are better cooks and more passionate about it. It's kinda...

    It's just sitting there. Flat bottom wok sitting on the bottom grate. Felt secure enough and just enough room for a ring two/three wide of coals around it. Was easy enough arranging it with cold charcoal. Might be able to get a layer of coals under it, which might be preferred. That shitty grill...
