i always hated when people referred to kids as "spicy" in childcare. it's ok and natural for some kids (and people!) to be a bit more difficult to deal with -- euphemising it and categorizing it in that way i think makes it more stigmatized.

It's just hard for me to accept his "I can't believe my fanbase cheers for this irredeemable anti-hero" shtick when it seems like the creator can't help but cheer for his anti-hero too.
The Saul ending seemed like a way to re-litigate some of these issues, and was ultimately more thoughtful

Right -- but why did the end of BB re-lionize Walt? His ending is total victory and red meat for WW lovers:
he provides for his family, he makes his stuck-up partner Schwartz bend the knee, he's given *nazis* to defeat (easiest way to win an audience back), he frees Jesse from SLAVERY!

I had the same first thought but apparently they preserved the same amount of units it was going to be at 13 stories, they just made the building fatter. It's a Wario high rise now

what caused the media to cover Afghanistan as a crisis? i think there's an argument that this stuff starts with the political opposition making a big stink, forcing the media to cover it

Negotiations for the IRA and infrastructure bills took a very long time and all indications are that Schumer (and surprisingly, Bernie) were pretty key to negotiating Manchin into a yes

were the Afghanistan / price crises completely natural phenomena? or did they start with right wing anger?

let's say republicans (2020-2024) had adapted a strategy of "let Biden dominate the news and create voter backlash"
do you think there actually would have been voter backlash? or do you think the constant noise they made filtrated through to the voters & inflamed the backlash? i think the latter!

schumer isn't a war time consigliere but he went pretty hard during biden's term tbqh. i think slimy backroom favor guy was a useful guy to have when we had to secure every vote of our 50+1 majority for a pretty wide ranging coalition

Just easier to sit down and watch knowing it will wrap up in ~2 hours rather than 2.5 -- and I'm a Knick fan so there only being 40 minutes available would be an improvement for our guys' rest lol.

Also, it's a great idea so why rage? Rest of the world plays 40 minute games. Would make a better TV product and a less strenuous game on the players.
That being said, I think it's pretty funny that the solution to broadcasts running too long is to cut play-time rather than consider commercials lol

I love stats but I think I just don't give a shit about this. I think it would make the game objectively better.
Stats are already so incongruous year-to-year and especially era-to-era. A TS% in 2025 is apples to oranges with a TS% in 2003.
If you're worried about counting stats, you can multiply

That is a wild stat! I wonder what the explanation is (if there is one)... just a general flattening of championship odds and fewer singular juggernaut teams?
