But the few who want order in their lives and a sense of growing and progression toward a fixed end suffer terribly.

Good people of Bluesky. I need your humble assistance. I'm looking for a model statue of Lady Bavaria (~12" tall), material doesn't matter as long as it lasts. How may I acquire such a thing?

Also we want to encourage competition between companies to innovate and let the free market dictate success and if a company fails so be it.. but when a better or cheaper employee can do the same job we want to go out of our way to protect the worse or more expensive employee?

How many young bright people don't want to go into politics because they fear being killed? If you're really bright maybe you realize this. Not that current politicians necessarily care because that would be competition for your job which is totally "unAmerican" (see immigration)

It's nice to have no followers because I don't contribute to the "public discourse" which is generally awful.
When will we get to the point where politicians pass gun control for self preservation?

"There is only one truth. Whoever controls your eyeballs runs the world." -Don DeLillo

If warriors/rockets is a blowout either way I think we're getting a preview here

Proclaiming hypocrisy is not compelling criticism.

Praying to the basketball gods and their arcane tiebreaker scrolls for a Nuggets/Grizzlies playoff series

Can't believe the owners didn't consult with their ASSistant coaches about this rule change

The forms retain a strong measure of ideal beauty
As they forage in secret on our idea of distortion.

Just ate a jelly-filled doughnut and now I am a jelly-filled-doughnut-filled human.

The arc of moral Teams usage is long, but it bends toward "Can you hear me?"

As a fan of reviews I personally have been loving these past 60 seconds

We should all be thankful that modern companionship is not based on hunter/gatherer abilities anymore-- if my mating viability depended on my facility to open a plastic produce bag for my cilantro I would surely die alone.

What veteran on the Jazz has the most trade value?

Another pro is general high quality league talent, coaching, & management. There are few truly awful or mismanaged franchises which gives most fan bases hope even if their team is currently bad. & the teams at the top/middle of the league all have legit stars. Injuries mitigate the last point though

Worst:
-RSN blackouts in local markets w/ league pass
-Schedule is too long (& all the baggage that comes w/ that, injuries, worse quality of games, etc)
-Deluge of betting ads during the game

Best:
-NBA Cup
-Play in (games are fun but mostly to disincentivize tanking)
-NBA Top 10 (w/ goatmentator)

I want to grow and expand and consume whole galaxies

Is something wrong with me? Should I check myself into a medical tent?

Read 100 pages of Catch-22 and I... didn't really like it
