Enough about James Harden. I think I've found an interesting topic to discuss. Pelicans star Zion Williamson shows off new look in viral photosTake a look at these viral pictures. What can you say about his appearance? He has been criticized for being overweight, with some suggesting that his weight is the reason he is prone to injuries. However, when you look at this 'scary man' now...  Good to see that he turn his body into a monster, had muscles now similar to what Giannis has or at least gain it through hard work in the gym because of his style of basketball, he needs to add it to his frame otherwise he will get injured again and again. His body his built differently, I mean he is a high flyer, but perhaps lack muscles in his lower body that's why he can't take that pounding. Let's see how his body will react to this new built and hopefully it can hold the whole season. This photo was highly criticized on social media. Nobody has any hope for Zion. There were high hopes when he was drafted, but it didn't happen. He'll play 20 games this season and then he'll get injured.  We cannot really blame them for that because we saw how we was every season since he was drafted and even me, I think the same way too that he's still bound for injury even if he will try not to because that is already in his system specially the way he plays, he's just making himself prone and will likely repeat the same cycle. Unless he can prevent that to happen but even so, that is quite difficult to do as even Anthony Davis himself cannot make it go away and other named players that has been in the league much longer than Zion Williamson. I know that he's trying his hard to play as many games as he can but it's still not enough but don't get me wrong, I'm inclined to see him at his best. |

There is this news circulating in the net today that the 8 world division champion Manny Pacquiao will have an exhibition match against a Thai Boxing Legend Buakaw Banchamek. It was reveal that the $25m exhibition fights will have a six rounds of boxing and they will be fighting @ 154 lbs. There is a belt at stake here called WBC Legend Belt and will be given to whomever won the fight. Though it has not been confirmed whether it will be considered a professional fight or an exhibition fight. SourceI see, I was under the impression where Manny Pacquiao was set to face his former sparring partner, Jaber Zayani, somewhere in UAE or Saudi Arabia as that was the hot news a couple of months ago after Pacquiao fought that professional karate clown from South Korea ( I obviously forgot what was his name).  But for some reasons, maybe there wasn't any hype established and so both camps decided to forfeit it and this time, the boxing legend will face a local Thai legend in a boxing fight. Hopefully this time, it will be more entertaining compared to that recent fight where Pacquiao had where it's clear that the arena wasn't even half full. the fight with the Muay Thai icon is an exhibition fight, he is not a Thai boxing legend. so this Banchamek is a Muay Thai legend vs Pacquiao a boxing legend, hence, the fight is billed as "The Match of Legends" ref article for sure, if there will be betting lines, i will put money on pacquiao here as this exhibition match is based in boxing terms. even this Thai is predicting will be knocked out in first round. Surely these sports outlets wasn't taking their research thoroughly and seriously because they have thought that Banchamek is a boxing legend in Thailand. And in this article: Manny Pacquiao to Fight Thai Boxing Legend in $25M Exhibition, they are also saying the same thing just for the sake of delivering the news as fast as possible even if their facts wasn't that straight and even misleading. Well, this should be good because I know Thai fighters aren't something to messed with or taking things lightly and if it's said that they will have a fight, it is also expected that they are also very serious about it. A legend vs legend, seems interesting. |

I don't how you're going to avoid all of your taxes, but you'll get exposed soon and you won't like what's waiting for you.
Avoiding your taxes isn't the solution to battle inflation, you might save some money but you're still going to spend it on buying the things you need and wants and that's still consider as paying taxes. But to answer the your question, yes, you're a bad person if you're avoiding some of your taxes, whether it's every month or every year.
It's actually not that bad if you can evade it legally, I know it's not something that is frequently talked in the society today because it is our responsibility as a citizen to pay taxes but in line with the topic, you'll be surprised that most billionaires and other rich individuals are even getting away with it without having any problems because as I said, they have done it in a legal way. Well, not evading wholly because they are still paying a big sum annually ( food, clothes, wants and other needs that are also taxed beforehand are not included) but not as big if they are not having some techniques to evade some of their taxes legally. Avoiding taxes will only be a time bomb, as if we are hiding what we have, and what we are fighting against is the state, where the government can do anything to us, including blocking assets. but if we can avoid it legally maybe this will be a different story, considering that taxes also aim to build a country, even though many people are disappointed with the person, but the country's large income comes from taxes, and of course we as good citizens must obey against government regulations Taxes are there for a certain reason and we cannot evade it no matter what we do because it's for our own good. I mean, how can we keep our economy growing and blooming if we are evading from it or against it? It may or may not sound reasonable to some people that are living in other countries where they have some particular law about taxes but whether we like it or not, it is what keeping the country strong and firm. |

If we consider meme coins globally, it is just a type of altcoin. Altcoins are risky investments anyway, so meme coins also have a high risk. But I would not say that only meme coins have no practical usage. In fact almost all altcoins don't have that. Most coins are created just for profit. There are thousands of different coins now and only a few have value. Even ripple in my opinion has no use.
True, however together with NFTs meme coins are the only coins which can openly claim to be completely useless and still attract millions of dollars on investment, the rest of the shitcoins we see on this market at least have to make it seem as if they could serve some kind of function to get access to that money. It is because of this meme coins are becoming more and more widespread as scammers need even less time to release that kind of coin as they do not need to create a white paper with incredible claims or anything like that, they can simply copy another meme coin, change its image, promise that a lot of money will be made by those that invest in it and then earn a fortune. That is expected because what can do they other than that anyway? As a memecoin, you surely don't want the same approach as a legitimate altcoins because it doesn't have any utility compared to the outstanding altcoins that has been on the top boards in the last couple of years. What you want is to copy these successful memecoins and have the same approach so that it can look that it does have purpose even if they don't have any. Anyway, memecoins are riskier than these known altcoins and yet people/investors are still clinging on it with the hopes that they can ride the wave someday and generate big profits in just a short amount of time. I mean, who wouldn't want that? But it's sure is risky because nobody even these so-called experts can predict its movements. |

Proper planning is fine but actually learning about gambling usually never ends after many experienced people are at risk. While certain games such as poker may require skill to understand, no matter how skilled you are, luck is always the deciding factor when gambling. The random shuffle of cards or the lucky symbol that appears on a slot machine is all about luck and there is no way to beat luck. With proper planning setting aside a certain amount of money to bet every day and making sure you don't go over it.
The gambling is like the trading and it’s essential to learn more from it.After the knowledge from the gambling,you can do gambling like trading by creating the tactics.The tactics mostly possible one in the slot game.Because slot game will help us using the tactics for the game.The history will help the gamblers to bet based on it,mostly the slot game history will repeat.The poker players most used the skill to earn money from it.The less knowledge gamblers can’t earn money from gambling,So less knowledge gamblers will suffer to earn money from poker game. Depends on what kind of game they are into because there are two types of it: (1) Luck-based games; (2) Sports Betting If they are inclined on the first one, knowledge and experience isn't that important because as the name suggests, if you're lucky then winnings will be all over you even if you don't have the right tactics and techniques, whereas if you'll play sports betting, you can't just rely on your luck alone because you actually need to have a better understanding of the game and knows the real-time stats in-order to improve your chances of winning. |

You are right but there must be some other reason behind it like Mbappe he wants to make records/history first before chasing money and he has the ability to do it but in the end money is the next target, the same with Messi we remember how he left Barcelona he did not want his salary cut by more than 50% for regulations reasons and in the end moved to PSG it's one example that he still prefers money but for now he has other priorities which we don't know. Believe me for players, money will always be in 1st place or or 2nd place  Money is important for players because their career does not last long and they can play like 15 or 20 seasons at maximum or if longer, just a bit several more seasons. If they can maximize money they earn from their career, it is nothing wrong. They have due diligent reasons to maximize their income and if they can combine both salary, income and chance to win titles, it's the best for their career. The first or second priority, it is both fine for those players because they work to earn money so they can do whatever they want with their work. We should not criticize them if they prioritize salary rather chance to play at biggest leagues, tournaments and opportunities to win trophies with their clubs or personal awards. That is understandable because I bet we would do that as well if we are on their shoes, money will always be a thing even if they will deny about it, it will be always their driving force why they are giving their best to maximize each season and won award because money and fame will always follow after that. But for the novice players who are still making a name, they don't have much option but to train harder and play harder so that soon, they can also feel the benefits of being a named player that is famous in the sports. |

^ We will see if Rolly Romero did have injuries or clearly ducking his mandatory in Ohara Davies.
I have to check Ohara Davies resume and boxrec though to check if indeed why Romero sense to be avoiding him (doesn't make sense), since he fought Tank Davis already, in short he has the balls so why now?
72 hours means it should be US time by Monday and by the following day we will know if he has suffered injuries or not or will be stripped of his newbly WBA belt at 140 lbs.
Most likely it's a duck to me, he has been ordered by the WBA and yet it seems that Oscar and the governing body itself can't find Rolly? Where is he hiding now? he is a big mouth and loves media attention, you can check his videos on youtube and other interviews. But suddenly he went MIA, and it's good that he has been given at least 72 hours to explain everything and hopefully WBA will be fair to give Ohara Davies his time and crack for the belt. It's about time that they should enforce the mandatory specially in lesser body like the WBA. In they were able to do this, then for sure they could at least have the balls to tell Rolly to defend the belt and/or push a schedule already. I'm not sure why he's ducking though but I think he's quite afraid that Ohara Davis will deliver his second loss as the man is more experienced and also a KO artist. And we know that he can't quite handle that as he was still healing from his loss against Tank Davis whom he though that he could actually take down just because Mayweather believes in him, but in the reality, Mayweather just delivered him to take a chance because that was Tank's last fight under Mayweather's banner. Hopefully he will show his face rather than getting stripped without explaining and proving himself. He still have less 72 hours to think now and hopefully he will use that time to weigh the things more carefully. |

^^ Might be first time that we are going to see a 3 divisional and unified champion if Crawford chooses to fight the winner of the Charlo vs Canelo. But then again, if Charlo is going to move up 2 division, Crawford will have to do 3 here from 147 lbs to 168 lbs and it's a big jump that no one has done before.
So it's a big challenge for him, although I wanted to see him going for Charlo's belt 154 lbs (if he is not stripped of it fighting Canelo here). It will be extra ordinary for him to just 3 weight classes and then beat Canelo at 168 lbs.
If Crawford can pull that one successfully, it will be on the history books and that is the kind of record that could be unbeatable even if someone will try to pull that kind of move again in the future because it's not something that can be done easily. Crawford already did a history and adding another undisputed title in another division will definitely put him on the top of every boxer that has been around in the industry. But the question is, can he pull that one off? It will be a risky one because he is still undefeated and regarding that jump, he needed to add 9 kilograms more or 11 pounds more just to get a fight against the one and only Canelo Alvarez. 21 pounds to be exact, not 11. But as you have said, it will be at risk, not just for his belt on the line, but for his health as well. And because it hasn't been done before, we can only speculate that is it going to be very difficult for Crawford and his frame as it will not be used to have that drastic body change and then learn to carry it during a fight. It might affect his speed and reflex or even his power. Of course his mind might be tune in, but his body might be different and respond different to the outside stimulus of being heavier in fight night. A lot of factors should be considered first mainly if the boxer is not yet accustomed in that specific weight class and speaking about three weight classes apart, speed and power will be the main key but without any of these, his path towards making a history will definitely fail without a doubt. He might survive it but that doesn't mean that he will also bring a win on his side because he'll just be overwhelmed by the guys who are much more comfortable at that said weight class. |

If only power is the only factor and measurement to be the best of super-lightweight division then Devin Haney wouldn't have any problems but he shouldn't forget that it will be a new weight for him and a new division as well, and while he's still adjusting to the weight, his opponents like Regis Prograis who is more comfortable at 140 will not show him mercy just because of that. Haney does have a chance, I'll give him that, but not as decent compared to the one whom he will face. And Teo Lopez? It turns out that he's just an underrated boxer who actually does have a chance to be one of the bad guys at 140 and let's not forget Josh Taylor, I think he can still bounce back.
Haney is high technical and has reach advantage, so I don't really think different weight will give him a trouble. Prograis, Matias, Romero and Lopez aren't high technical boxers, so it will be pretty hard to beat Haney. Well maybe Josh Taylor has a chance to fight with Haney even though he not own any title, but his last performance against Catterall and Lopez were not good. Lopez actually an overrated boxer due to his popularity, he's strong and has a stamina, but his performance is just not stable. I don't know what you're trying to say but reach advantage doesn't have anything to do with the weight needed to fight at 140 lbs., there is even no guarantee that he can even defeat and dominate the guys who are more comfortable at that weight class compared to him. Look, I know that you might have high hopes towards Haney or something like that but the path that he's stepping into is still unknown and anything can happen because it's not his division to begin with. What more now that he's going directly towards the champion instead of trying a much safer debut first. |

Controlling costs, calculating profits, and having patience are vital to achieving success in any business. You've outlined a realistic approach and focus on building profits over time, not just looking for immediate returns.
Starting a business or venture can be challenging, but with good planning, patience and adaptability, positive results can certainly be achieved. At the same time, regular review and evaluation is a way to ensure that you are moving in the right direction and can adjust your strategy as needed.
Various factors should be set in place first and as a businessman, we should know these factors beforehand so that we know what are the risks that lies ahead on us. It will be a challenging road because that's how business operates and even if we calculated the risks and profits carefully, there's no guarantees that it will really go through just like what we imagined it. |

I can honestly say that many people around me have complained about the radical change efforts on twitter. maybe Musk's mistake is that he can't tell us exactly the platform he wants to create. but people don't seem to want any other innovation on twitter except for minor improvements. i think he wants to make it a platform where more crypto aware people can use it and get some work done, but i think it's too early for that. as you said, millions of ordinary people use this platform and he should make it a more democratic and user request based platform instead of using it like a rich kid playing with his toy. otherwise this decline will continue.
Many users are lost from Twitter due to Twitter's name and logo change. Personally speaking, I find it very bad now. And now I ignore Twitter. That's exactly how many users are leaving Twitter. This is a wrong decision of Elon Musk on the other hand now anyone can buy a verified badge in exchange of money on Twitter due to which now many fake accounts are also getting verified badge. Due to this, it is becoming difficult to find a legal company's Twitter page. This is another fault of Twitter. I don't know why Elon Musk is doing this. I personally condemn it Take McDonalds rebranding for example. Search in google how McDonalds looked 20-40-60 years ago. They have completely change the way their restaurants look, the way employees look (uniform), the way menu look (wrapping and etc). Do you think less people started to visit McDonalds or change their taste? Imho every company needs a rebranding. Standing on one place, while industry is walking forward is wrong. Rebranding was needed. In fact, Elon has changed only the logo. Everything else stayed the same. Users habits remained the same. Every single button is on a same place. I get what you mean but having Twitter and McDonalds or other fast-food chains isn't really a good comparison to begin with. They are both going for a re-branding, yes that is good, but it should have limits, and Twitter got itself twisted because the logo has fully changed without any trace, at all, that it was once the Twitter we knew and that is one of the reasons why they are losing users and as the analyst says, the drop will continue towards 2024 if they cannot find any way to resolve their problems. |

I’m not a regular gambler before I start participating on gambling discussion here due to campaign requirements. Right now I have urge to gamble everytime I saw someone post here about discussion on profit or winning jackpot. Even a simple discussion about strategy makes me want to gamble because I’m excited to try the strategy that I’m thinking.
Right now, I’m still not frequently gambling because of my work but I do regular gambling once or twice a week even if I don’t do this before just because I’m always exposed to gambling discussion and the thought of it makes me want to try.
What’s the effect of gambling discussion here to you? I’m thinking to quit participating on signature campaign that involves gambling discussion in an event that my gambling activities is increasing above my normal habit.
It's up to you to do whatever you please and nobody here in this forum is forcing you to gamble because we don't do that, we all have our own responsibilities and what you said is not a valid reason at all. You gambled because you wanted to try what's it like to have a win and experience some losses on the road as well but certainly not because you're in a gambling discussion where you don't have any choice but to do what most of the users here are doing. Remember mate, it's your body and mind, you always have the full control of it. Nobody does. |

I don't what to speculate but it should be around the money I guess. Maybe he was promised to have a good money this season. But the owner turn his back on Harden.
Words are very powerful, and they should be honored. If James Harden is promised good money without conditions, then he is due for that. However, sometimes these businessmen are very clever; they tend to use their power to influence a player's decision but ultimately may not stand by their words. Nowadays, the system has already changed, as players can make demands. In the case of James Harden, being a superstar, I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing. He understands that he won't lose his job, even if the 76ers decide to trade him, which they have refused to do until now. Yes you are right that nate words are too powerful it can distract people through people. And what happened to The team is that I think they promise to James harden but they don't do their promises and as a player or let say as a super star then James harden knows what he doing and he is not scared cause once 76sers will leave him then many team's will want to have harden as we all know how he plays and how he carry his team. The only mistake that Harden did in his time with the 76ers is that he trusted Daryl Morey's words because why not, right? It's the president's words and if he has been promised then it should happen in due time because that's what real men would do and that their are a man of their words but in this situation, the president didn't even bother to check up on Harden and that's harsh. Furthermore, Harden wasn't clever enough to put those agreements into a contract, if there was any agreement at all, because after all, this is a business and all business matter should have some papers. |

But since a rematch inside the octagon has surfaced, people are now attracted to it and that is one of the few reasons why we are still talking about this as it is more interesting rather than a boxing fight, and Jake Paul will have a chance to bounce back and redeem himself from the recent loss he had. I mean who wouldn't want a redemption fight?
There's a good chance Diaz can beat Paul because Diaz is a wrestler and MMA fight is shorter than boxing, so he don't need to have really good stamina. If Paul didn't learn how to escape from ground fight, Diaz can easily subs him, MMA fight is more technical as you can win in many ways. And it will show how different or difficult MMA fighting is as compare to boxing. I mean if you are a boxing trying to become a MMA fighter, it will take a lot of trainings on your send specially if you will be fighting the likes of Nate who is well versed on it and possible that he will choke Jake if he wanted to. It will be a difficult ground for Jake Paul because he doesn't have any legit experiences in the field of MMA, you know, he just started his boxing career a couple of years ago and still struggling to be called as a legit boxer and he doesn't have some spare to time to learn MMA on the sides. And this time, if it will indeed happen in a cage, Nate Diaz will have his revenge, no doubt about that. Diaz may not have the knockout power but his wrestling skills are far beyond Jake Paul's imagination as he wouldn't even see it coming. The rematch should be happen ASAP before Diaz become more older. Let's see, the hype is still there for this fight and even after a week, the fans are still talking about it and it seems that they wanted to have a rematch but they wanted Jake to take out of his comfort zone and go MMA fighting style. We wouldn't even talk about this rematch in MMA ground if both of them didn't started it. And since it has been widely known that they are planning for it, people will always ask what are the updates about it and the hype will remain as long as people are still talking about it. I agree but we shouldn't be expecting this fight these days because it's not yet finalized and it's still floating in the air waiting for the organizers to take advantage of it. There is still the hype because they have said it in the first place where a rematch is really possible but it will all fall on how they will handle the negotiations because Nate will now ask for a bigger money compared to what he had received on their first encounter and if Jake Paul will give him that, then we do indeed a have a fight to wait. |

Both crypto casino and regular online casino still give us anonymity from the general public knowing that we're into gambling. Where using cryptocurency has more benefits is that you can hide your identity from banks and they won't know where your money is coming from.
But when you use the regular online casino and use the fiat payment options for depositing or withdrawing, your banks can know what you're into and then there's no anonymity anymore. For both crypto and regular online casino, you can't hide your identity from the casinos.
Anonymity is still a benefit of using cryptocurency casino as you said because it prevents us from the embracement we might get from the society for been a gamblers since people known to be gambling still experience some discrimination in work place or at home.
The anonymity from the general public is the only advantage about anonymity we have from cryptocurrency gambling platforms for now, but we might even lose that in the future if the platforms started asking us to create our usernames with our first and last names with some random number, etc. But even after that, I believe the public can't see us gambling and if our bets are shown in the latest bets section, we can choose to hide our name there. However, whatever the situation is, some people might not like the KYC verification and stuff, but we need to admit that cryptocurrency gambling platforms have provided us with a lot of ease when it comes to gambling if we take apart this one thing that we consider a disadvantage which isn't in my opinion. Yup, anonymity is still there but only to our co-gamblers because as of now, most casinos doesn't require us to us our real name as a username and only the casinos knew who are we behind the screen because of the KYC that has been implemented and followed by almost all known platforms today. Still, there are ups and downs to that and we cannot blame some gamblers if they don't want the KYC because even me doesn't want it, but what can we do aside from complying to their terms if we still want to continue our activities. |

Everyone must have experienced loss, whether it's a big or small loss. And he experienced loss more often than he won. Has anyone ever experienced boredom playing gambling because they have been losing more often than winning? If anyone has experienced this, what did you do?
I'm giving out a poll to find out what all of you did and which one all of you voted for the most. I choose the number one because if I can take a break from playing gambling, I feel that I can handle my emotion with good, which can save some money. I already tried to take a break for a while to calm myself down and that worked for me.
That will definitely work because that is the wisest thing to do because if you feel that you're already in a loop where losses are too great compared to your winnings then it is indeed time for you to step back and take a break because the situation will get more serious if you will not. I don't know what will you do but anything will do as long as it doesn't involved gambling, I mean that's really not hard to do because there a too many options to choose from and one of those is to spend some time with your family or socialize if you doesn't have one. |

Hey guys! I've been in crypto for a while but since it's bear market I'm curious: are there any services where you can earn passive income in crypto, except lending?
If you know, share your experience, please.
Staking works for others so if you think it will also be worthwhile for you, then you can try it too. But always remember that those reward coins you will get from staking have also high chances that they will eventually lose their value in the future, so know what coins you have to hold for long. However, while the market is still bearish, you can also prepare for the next Bitcoin halving. Do the DCA, it will increase the volume of your coins in less time and when Bitcoin bull run is finally here, you can always take time to sell and make significant profits. |

What are your own thoughts on wrong ways you think people follow in bitcoin accumulation.
I agree with what you stated. Aside from that, people tend to move when they are hyped, one of the wrong move of people who are investing in Bitcoin is that they are carried away by the hype. They only start buying when the news is already selling. This will give them a disadvantage because when that time comes, the price has already started surging. so they end up buying an inflated price of Bitcoin. It is best to accumulate when the news is still silent. Other investors tend to avoid buying when the market is in its bear market, they don't think that a bear market is the best time to accumulate. You got it right. People always doubt whenever it’s new in the market but the moment it got hyped, then they hurriedly buy bitcoin even without prior research on how to do proper accumulation. That is already their first faults in the market, investing when the price is hyped and buying bitcoin without studying how it works in the market. With greed, people continue to accumulate and invest in bitcoin all their hard-earned money thinking that it will always results into huge profits. And the moment they start losing, unfortunately they will begin to attack bitcoin saying all negative stuffs that makes bitcoin a big scam to the eyes of the people. |

A massive bear market is an indicator that you should buy and hold bitcoin if you want to hold it for a long time.
Another is bitcoin halving. After bitcoin halving, the price will go up that halving year and the following year most likely.
Yes. Having a massive bearish market is not bad at all as it could make the best entry for your bitcoin accumulation. While bitcoin price is still affordable, then do maximize buying and invest for long term hodling. If you invest without pressuring yourself from profiting, your investment will paid off in its perfect time. It’s not how big you start your investment is, but on how you handle your investments despite of the market uncertainties and unexpected market crash. |

Since you explained that you did use AI to generate post as I have read in your thread, you better stop doing it. As for your neutral trust score is it won't be easy to make the neutral trust removed. Try to appeal your situation to the one who give you that neutral trust and see if he will remove it. As Cantsay said, the chance of it getting removed is slim because using AI is very much the same as plagiarism since it is not your own work that you have submitted as your own. I advice you to stop using AI because in the future you may get negative trust instead of neutral trust score.
Plagiarism is a big and offensive act in the forum, so if you can avoid from using AI in all your post and have your own content instead, then it’s possible that you won’t be getting neutral or worst negative trust in the future. For now, if your appeal won’t work, then you can’t do nothing about it. Just learn from it and promise not to rely from using AI again. This AI technology might be productive in some aspects but using it inside the forum is highly discouraged. |
