  1. Analyzing a Pope's retweets is a phrase I wish never had to exist.
  2. "Welcome to the Version Wireless Vatican Arena. I love you."
  3. Maybe when it stops working perfectly, he'll pivot.
  4. Marc Elias has got to be one tired, incredibly frustrated dude. Truly an American hero.
  5. Ok, but you have to admit that, after the 900 hundredth song/chant/speech/declaration/reminder about how special it is to be a Ghor, Imperial propaganda pretty much wrote itself. Uppity bastards should be miserable like the rest of us.
  6. It will be a cold day in hell before I pay for your underwater basket weaving degree from Woke Indoctrination University!
  7. I understand that telling a team to change its gameplan--and what's essentially its identity--mid-game because the 3's aren't falling is easier said than done, but would it kill Boston to show a little urgency? Instead of running one action with 8 seconds on the shot clock before a pull up or one pass and shoot, I don't know, maybe run a play with 14 seconds on the clock and make New York defend multiple actions? If it still results in a 3, so be it, but at least the ball would be moving.
  8. Can one of you nerds explain the Imperial ranking system? It's obvious that red means military and blue means bureaucrat or intelligence, but how does one go about leveling up in both? Like did Krennic start out being a boots on the ground soldier before joining what amounts to CIA-Empire?
  9. To be fair, even if Horner didn't believe that, that was always going to be his answer to try to create turmoil.
  10. Sorry if already mentioned, but I assume the knowing little nod between the two Senate building workers after they told the ISB agent that the control room was locked and the key was in a different office meant that they worked for Luthen or someone similar?
  11. Can I just not watch a game where the home team instantly jumps out to a 20 point lead like normal, or is it a guarantee that Denver is winning this one?
  12. Decades of "police aren't always perfect, but they have a difficult job trying to protect us" conditioning and "why was he running/resisting?" propaganda has an effect on society.
  13. I think that's pretty common throughout the league. Lots of playoff instances of the better team coming out flat expecting little resistance from a depleted team, and the "scrubs" playing like they have nothing to lose. But, yeah, if Minny can't find a way to bring the intensity tomorrow after being embarrassed last night, that would be pretty concerning.
  14. There have been plenty of reasonable criticisms about the pacing, the writing, and the likeability/believability of the characters within this thread. The incel stuff has been mostly reserved to people upset that Ellie isn't as attractive as a 14 and 19 year old video game character, people bringing "gender politics" into the discussion, and people using "Top reddit commentators" as a reference point.
  15. I don't think they're garbage at all. They're really good. I think they'd still be a ever-so-slight favorite in this series with a healthy Steph. I just think OKC and Boston are a clear step ahead, and I'd probably pick Denver over either of these teams as well because of Jokic.
  16. Per Shams, it's a Grade 1 strain, at least a week out for Steph. So the above will be the plan. Do everything they can to steal one at home to force a Game 6. If it's 3-1 going back to Minny, then maybe they run him out there for Game 5 (next Wednesday) as a last ditch, our season's over if not effort. I guess it doesn't really matter because neither of these teams is realistically competing for a title, but more Steph is better than less Steph.
  17. These dudes lured in migrants under false pretenses, kidnapped them, bussed them up the coast, and dropped them somewhere that they were completely unfamiliar with. Then openly bragged about it. Let's not pretend a little fraud and embezzlement is going to have any object permanence here.
  18. I'd be surprised if we see her again. Makes his sacrifice in Rogue One even more tragic. He fulfilled his destiny, but, in doing so, she'll never know about it, and she'll never find him. Seems like the fitting end to their story.
  19. There's a full 3 days of rest between Games 5 and 6. So Game 6 isn't until next Sunday. I imagine, if it's anything more than the slightest of tweaks, that's the game they'll be targeting. Hope they can get another fluky win at home in Games 3 or 4, then put everything into Game 6 at home to force a Game 7. Obviously, that goes tits up if Minnesota wins 3 straight. I mean, you're wrong, but I like the spirit.
  20. Golden State is losing every game that Steph doesn't play. They just don't have the horses. A bunch of extremely limited offensive players with the basketball IQ to operate effectively around Steph's gravity. Jimmy playing iso ball with kickouts to Buddy Hield ain't gonna cut it for 48 minutes.
  21. Every Warriors offensive possession about to get very, very tense.
  22. We're sure that DiVincenzo isn't a Warriors' sleeper agent?
  23. Pat Spencer with the sky hook!
  24. Buddy Hield with a Steph relocation 3. Okay, this is dumb. Completely unsustainable, but awesome.
