How many of y’all thought he was more NBA ready than Moody before the season started??? This page won’t let me make a poll but genuinely curious. I did and I never understood why the media pushed for Moody more to be an immediate contributor to the team. Kuminga about to be a beast in a few years. I know last night wasn’t the best but it’s just growing pains. Dubs lucked out getting this dude. The media was wrong yet again just like how they were wrong about Steph, Dray, etc. Just my two cents....
Here is the documentation that got me excited about this technology. Great job on that document by the way -- I found it very persuasive as to the benefits of native tokens.
I replied, “I can knot.”
It seems that, for all their radical talk, every time a popular movement happens anywhere, they immediately jump to the conclusion that it is a color revolution sent in by the USA to destablize this or that country with a tenuous connection to China's super cool anti-Imperialist Belt and Road Initiative. Even when these protests occur in places that are as far removed from Socialism as you can get, for example, dismissing the protests in Russia, Iran, Belarus, and Kazakhstan as "CIA hatched color revolutions", as if the masses of these countries have no will of their own. While, as Communists, we should analyze the class dynamic of these protests, and acknowledge that, without properly Communist leadership, these movements are doomed to fail, and while we should, additionally, understand that the US would want to hijack these popular movement and subvert it for their own geopolitical aims, it is naive to think otherwise, nevertheless, it is strange that people who claim to be for power for the masses find themselves siding with anti-democratic, anti-people forces of all sort, and even going so far as to refusing the masses any sort of agency beyond what Putin, Xi, or Biden commands of them.
Is anyone else always on the verge of quitting their job? I have to stop myself from quitting every day and have felt this way for years. I’m too afraid to pull the trigger so I don’t. I hate what I do so much and changing companies doesn’t matter either. I’ve done the same role at different companies and hated it everywhere. It’s barely bare-able for me.

Those creatures from Sol-3, or Humans, as they called themselves, were rather shortsighted. Zentar thought so at least, as he observed the strange mammals marching down the street below his balcony, marching toward the planetary capital.
The Humans were an upstart race, barely a century past the discovery of FTL travel, and barely twenty years past first contact. As far as Zentar knew they had mostly kept to themselves, but unfortunately galactic politics has a way of forcing isolationists into the spotlight.
Humanity had been unlucky to evolve in a system that was only closely neighbored by a single power: The Galactic Dominion, the same expansionist state that had ruled over Zentars homeworld with an iron fist for a thousand years. Once they learned about these new up and comers, it was only a matter of time.
One standard year ago, the Dominion had offered humanity a choice, the same one they had given his kind so long ago: Accept annexation into the Dominion, or be destroyed. His kind had chosen annexation, but the Humans had foolishly chosen to fight for their freedom.
The Humans in the street below began to sing as they marched, their strange language rising over the rooftops in a crescendo of confidence that made Zentar shake his head in pity at their foolishness.
Of course, everyone had been shocked when the first move of the conflict had been made by the Humans, who had seemingly adopted a doomed strategy of offense. When the Human Navy had entered the system a month ago, everyone had to admit that it was an impressive fleet for such a young race. Of course it was still small, no match for the forces of the Dominion.
But the Humans had pressed forward, making surprising headway against the token garrison protecting the system, soon achieving orbital supremacy of the only habitable planet, which happened to be where Zentar called home.
Though the success of the Human Navy was unprecedented, it would not matter, as it could easily be crushed once the full might of the Dominion Navy arrived. Zentar was impressed that the Humans had consolidated their forces so effectively, as the little information he had about Humans said they were still a fractured species.
One week after landing troops planetside, the Humans had managed to destroy all local resistance in a costly but swift fight, receiving a request from the planetary governor, who wished to surrend
