re: Warriors vs Blazers had over 100 3pt attempts
Posted by THRILLHO on 1/15/26 at 6:23 pm to SulphursFinest
NBA needs to either extend the entire 3pt line by a few feet, or keep the court the same size + eliminate corner 3's by having the 3pt line stop around the wings.

For the record, while TNG had 3 of the best characters in all of Trek (Picard, Data and Worf), DS9 was way ahead of its time in tone, storytelling and was a better overall series.
I still prefer TNG (slightly), but that may be due to memberberries. I didn't watch DS9 until about a year and a half ago, and I only did it after asking this board if it was of similar quality as TNG.
Ignoring the memberberries: DS9 had MUCH better characters overall, but I still prefer the TNG type storylines that are more problem solving/morality based compared to the ongoing war/conflict storylines of DS9. Though they both did each of those types of episodes, and both did them very well. But there aren't many shows that put out top tier episodes like "Measure of a Man" or "Inner Light", whereas there are a handful of shows that have an equivalent of the final ~6 episodes of DS9 (which were great). "In the Pale Moonlight" was morality based and slang serious cum though, and may be my favorite Star Trek episode ever.

Calm your tits. It may be a reasonable assumption based on the first part of this one video. I'm saying that it's not an accurate description of their work in general. I'm just trying to encourage you to do a deeper dive into what I'd consider hundreds (maybe 1000+) hours of entertainment.

Not sure this is up my ally, especially for DS9. First few minutes they've got a toned down Siskel and Ebert vibe, I guess.
They do pretty much anything film/TV related. "Toned down Siskel and Ebert" is not accurate at all. Siskel and Ebert had some entertaining jabs at each other sometimes, but RLM is much funnier. They're part Siskel and Ebert, part MST3K. The Mr. Plinkett reviews are pretty unique and super popular.
Not to come off as too fanboyish, but if you exclude music, RLM content accounts for probably 50% of my Youtube consumption. They do video game stuff too, but it's been a while since they've done new stuff, and it usually involves their less-talented members. I'd highly recommend doing a deep dive into their content (Best of the Worst, Half in the Bag, Reviewed, and Mr. Plinkett.)

I had no idea Mike was a big DS9 fan.
Him and Rich have made very positive references to the series during their TNG/Picard reviews, so they are definitely fans. I'm surprised it took them this long to review it, and I'm excited that they're doing this. If they treat it like TNG, they'll likely do another episode of S1, then start significantly condensing seasons afterwards. Which is kind of stupid since DS9 S1 was easily the worst of the series, do they should focus more of future ones.

Why is Chic-Fil-A employing illegals to begin with?
I don't think that's what the post is saying. I think that the employees quit simply because their manager's car accident contributed to someone being deported. The manager didn't even necessarily call ICE, they simply committed the crime of driving.

I like the idea of AI photos (I think, it might be real) replacing the game thread OP's. When you make them, make sure to tell Grok/whoever what you want, but make the photo is produced as if it were in ALL CAPS. That will help dial them up to 11.

So if 20%!of kids get deported then the schools would lose 20%!of funding. And some teachers would get laid off .
I didn't think of that. Great point.
On the same note, Walz once boasted about the diversity of Minneapolis schools, and proudly said that one school had 10-15 languages spoken in it (what a shitshow). It wouldn't take many kids being deported to make some of those teachers/translators unnecessary.

It's going to require a massive percentage of illegals in a class for the teachers to be able to pull that off. That's why, unlike Covid (which the unions used for both political AND monetary/laziness purposes), I think that this one is mostly political. To be fair, knowing how public school faculty can be, they may pull off a situation where they say "Well, only 40% of the class is showing up in person, so we're ONLY going to be providing online classes."
Minneapolis public school students now allowed to "learn from home" for the next month

This is "breaking", so not many details, but:
As we all know, remote learning had wonderful results throughout Covid. I'm sure that it will work out just as well this time.
This is almost certainly being done because the teacher's union (sincerely) wants to help kids whose families are here illegally while the ICE presence increases. I know of a NOLA metro public school that has been missing ~17% of its students ever since ICE came to town, and it's probably similar (if not worse) in parts of Minneapolis. The teacher's unions 99% of the time are selfish as frick, but this probably will result in more work for them if they're still dealing with in-person teaching, so this is more of an ideological decision than a "I want to work less" one.

MPS offering E-learning through Feb. 12
What they're saying:
Marcia Howard, the President of the Minneapolis Federation of Educators, posted to social media Thursday night students are being given the option to learn from home through Reb. 12. She says the teachers’ federation brought the idea to the school district.
Typically, learning from home is offered only the event of weather.
"MPS is going to be offering an option for students to learn from home until February 12. This is an OPTION and exactly what so many families need right now. MFE members brought this to MPS and MPS listened. Let’s stay strong together Minneapolis," Howard said.

I was going to reference the same thing. He tried to prove Trump wrong about Haiti, stayed at pretty much the only nice resort in the country, and walked around some areas with heavy security. It was a completely dishonest stunt.
But as others have said, he didn't make it his raison d'etre, and he doesn't seem to have hatred towards the right in general. He's made me laugh quite a bit via his late night show + some top tier Simpsons episodes, so he's fine by me.

Because they use an app and we are paying them to leave. Smart plan because we also have their info
This. And with ~75% of the deportations being self-deported, it's going to be tough to increase the number of total deportations. The illegals still here didn't think the offer was sufficient, and are going to want a lot more money to self deport. That, or make significant headway into making their lives as miserable as possible so that they leave willingly.
For the proper deportations (an improved but still pretty limp-dicked 600k), I do expect that number to increase as ICE is supposedly adding ~10k agents this year. But there's at least 25m illegals here (and even more legals that we mostly need to kick out). Even with the border being secured, ~1m deportations a year isn't making enough of a dent, especially while they're popping out anchor babies.
Trump needs to get ICE in every single hospital/ER. And most of all, they need to get them in every public school. I can't divulge which school it is, but I know that one NOLA metro school has had 15-20% of its students missing class ever since ICE moved into the area. I'm sure many public schools in Orleans/Jefferson are seeing similar numbers. That kind of fear needs to continue, and it needs to spread to any illegal attempting to leach off of our medical system. THAT is the way to get them to self deport en-masse.

The biggest issue is that the end game is the same.
You retards argue over the minutiae while the end game of nanny state is the same, just the person in charge is different.
Unless I've completely missed your point, you're too smart to bust out "muh both sides" on this.
First of all, ICE deporting illegals is not directly related to the "nanny state". Indirectly, sure. The generous welfare system (and the way that it has fecklessly distributed money with little oversight) is a major reason that we've seen a massive influx of both legal and illegal immigrants. So, yes, ICE exists in large part because of the nanny state, but when they're doing their job, they're helping to limit dependents of the nanny state.
Second, what does the comment "the end game of the nanny state is the same, just the person in charge is different" mean in this case, and how does it apply? Biden completely neutered ICE. He had either them or the Border Patrol literally removing barricades to help border crossers into the country. Biden's admin started seeing how unpopular it was, and cut down on it by simply flying illegals directly into the country so that they could say illegal border crossings were "down". ICE may still exist regardless of who is in charge, but the way that they are used can be drastically different. And yes, I get that a lot of republican politicians only pretend to be against illegal immigration. Trump himself has done a legit phenomenal job in stopping border crossings, but has only been meh in terms of deportations, and is still a bitch when it comes to legal immigration (which I think is an equally bad problem as illegal immigration).
The more I read your post, the more confused I get. The only way it somewhat makes sense is if you accidentally said "nanny state" instead of "police state". If that's the case, I agree that it's a concern in general, and federal politicians from both sides generally support it. But ICE removing illegals doesn't really fall into that category. 10+ years ago, I would have been uncomfortable with ICE profiling hispanics (which can obviously include legal citizens), but I'm WAY past the give a frick point of that now. If we want to remain a proper country with a unique culture, we can't let globalist presidents import ~4M illegals per year, then get pissy about how more nationalist presidents try to fix it. You either need to betray your libertarian principles, or you can smugly watch the US turn into Brazil or South Africa.
