What stood out to me
-I’m not big on proctor as a facilitator or finisher.
-Kon will be our leading scorer, reminds me of a bigger JJ redick who can do more, as another guy said
-Flagg looked like he was forcing the issue early and didn’t really jump out to me untill later when he was tenacious on defense. Hes great but besides that dunk, I wasn’t wowed. He looked to me frustrated . It’s game 1 no big deal he will be great .
-sion is as advertised and gonna be huge , especially later in the season. Great finishers, great body. Ugly looking shot though.
- foster looks like baby face nelson. He looked and played poised and confident. I like him more than proctor .
- Maluach didn’t look as dominant as advertised

Admittedly I’m a little biased against Proctor from the last 2 years. Seems to disappear at times, and somewhat soft. James came with a reputation for being tough and very energetic, which has been validated from the 3 times we’ve seen him play. We’ve been punked the last few years by a few teams, and i don’t see James letting that happen. Proctor, I’m not so sure.

Having different worldviews is one thing. When I think they are hurting people, of course I’m going to disagree. Politics make many of us get a little hot under the collar.

Take Trump for example. He burst onto the scene 9 years ago due to our government continuing to get out of touch with the people they’re paid to represent. The same applies to Fox News. I know you consider them unreliable, but is it possible they were only created because the other outlets weren’t being fair?

He just turned 2. And thanks to America’s voters, he is safe and no in danger of being persecuted due to his gender and skin color.

There’s actually a good joke about that: What’s the difference between an etymologist and an ENtomologist? The etymologist knows the difference.

I make everyone here look like an idiot every time anything related to public education comes up. Just like the etymology lesson I just gave KD (except the idiot part; that wasn’t combative). Y’all don’t even take bait about it because you know I’m the sole expert here.

I’ll admit it when I don’t know about a topic. Education? Linguistics? That’s my jam.

The hatred for Trump has nothing to do with policies. They just don't like the guy. That's such a weak and pathetic reason. If I needed a lawyer to get out of trouble, and the best one happens to be a jerk, I'm taking the jerk.

I’ll never sour on Proctor . I’m a firm supporter . I don’t think you can even think about taking him out of the starting lineup. He’s a pick and pop shooter and i would like to see him and Foster kinda switch positions. Foster can create quicker and get into the lane while I think Proctor is more of a facilitator while Foster is a scorer . Going to be an interesting season. Sion coming of the bench with Brown and Gillis helps keep both units experienced and poised .

Civil liberties matter.

"Sackless man"? Is that your creative and disrespectful way of saying a transman, or just a generalized insult to a man whose politics in a sound bite are objectionable to you?

Have you always been so vehemently pro-life? I don't remember that from, say, 10 years ago.

Business as usual for me. I don't know what meltdown you're fantasizing about.

Trump was not involved in creating Project 2025 to the best of my knowledge, but he will now adhere to much of it.

Robinson and Morrow lost. I'm not surprised you voted for both. They're in the past now. I already knew you didn't care about public schools so voting for someone for Superintendent of Public Instruction who also hates public schools fits.

Twenty years ago, most Dems recognized the horror involved with abortion. Thus, the safe legal and rare mantra. You don’t hear that much nowadays because the Dems have normalized the murder of unborn children. They still support the safe and legal part. They couldn’t give two shits whether it’s rare or not, though.

I really don't know where y'all are getting this.

KDSTONE said:

So you would ask the question “Did everyone remember their toothbrush?” to one person or a group of people?

Click to expand...

To a group, but the word itself is grammatically singular, further evidenced by the singular conjugation of the verb "did."
Make it, "Hey, did someone drop their toothbrush on the bus?" It's one person of indeterminate gender -- indeterminate because you don't know who it is. That's been pretty conventional for a long time.

Jesus man. It has nothing to do with trans shit. I am just saying he has no balls.

I have always been in favor of not bragging about abortions and making it a deciding factor in how I voted. It's a religion to some people now where it wasn't before. I am pro life in the sense that I would never want someone in my life to choose to have an abortion over other options. But I have never cared enough about it to cast judgement on those who have made the choice until in the past couple of decades I realized how sick people are with it. Safe, legal and rare. Remember that? Now it's, fvck I'm pregnant. I need to get rid of this thing.

No. People seeking abortions haven't changed. The narrative about them has. I remember pro-life people objecting to people using it as birth control as far back as the '80s. That has gotten more and more aggressive and we've grown more and more divided.

I seriously doubt the man you detest so much is only voting on that one issue. It's the first thing that came to mind when someone stuck a microphone in his face. It's also a provocative topic, which is why President Trump lied about VP Harris' stance during their debate.

Did anyone else cringe when Cooper went down with 5 mins left in the game while we were up 30?? So glad it was just cramps!

That's not how language works. The word "manufacture"? It literally means "made by hand." When we created factories to make things for us, we adapted the existing word. "Ambulance"? They walked for those who couldn't because they were first stretchers that others carried. We added wheels, then an internal combustion engine, and we went on using the same word.

"Internet" is a notable exception in my lifetime. It usually requires some kind of huge invention or discovery for that to happen. "Manufacture" is far more the norm.

While the use of the singular "they" as applied to people who are non-binary is relatively recent, its use has existed for about 650 years, at least.

We use it all the time in sentences like, "Did everyone remember their toothbrush?"
