btw, i only care about may 20th, when the lakers get their pick. clippers can burn in hell for all i care. we have something like a 20% chance to land a top 3 pick.. which means a franchise-type player. i consider wiggins, embid, and exum to be franchise type players, so i really hope we land a top 3.

eh looks like no new episode of californication. i'm glad the show's ending - i think it's a little bit long in the tooth. just the same rehashed shit, even if it's still funny.

Me too. It was so funny when it first started, but the past few seasons have been bad. This season so far is suprisingly much better than the last season IMO. Maybe because Hank's daughter hasn't been in it. She annoys me.

House of Lies is the same way. Started off good, already out of material.

yeah she's kind of annoying. but i'm not an extremist like some crazy fans of tv shows. for example, the actress who plays skylar has received death threats from fans.. for portraying her character.

what makes californication stupid is its repeating cycle over and over. hank tries to get back with karen, and then some unforeseen shit happens, and that plan gets nixed. karen gets mad at hank, other shit happens, the daughter whines and bitches, hank goes on booze binges and bangs chicks, and then eventually he does something sweet or kind, and karen forgives him. then he tries to get back with her.. rinse and repeat.

Wait which one is Skylar? Death threats??? What type of loser makes death threats about actors' roles. Omg how pathetic

she plays hank's wife on breaking bad.. the one that is always bitching and nagging. a lot of tv watchers are misogynists. here's the article she wrote herself http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/24/opinion/i-have-a-character-issue.html

there are a few other female characters that people hate so much that they threaten.. i think hank's daughter, whatever her name is, is one of them.

Oh yeah, she was annoying at times... But I always just thought that meant she was playing her roll perfectly as the nagging wife. Did you hear about when Walt's Carr got broken into in real life, right when they were filming the last episodes, and his scripts got stolen? He was freaking out about that..

i think i remember that story, yeah. also remember the alt ending where walter white wakes up as the dad from malcolm in the middle. man, breaking bad was such an original show. i think it's my favorite tv show ever.

i can't believe that people actually consume energy drinks.. it's so full of fucking sugar that i can feel myself getting diabetes drinking it. and then that caffeine high just makes me feel sick.

Energy drinks contain far less sugar, when compared to other carbonated beverages such as Pepsi and Coca Cola. A serving of monster energy contains about 25 grams of sugar. For comparison, a serving of smoothie normally contains about 35 to 40 grams of sugar. A 12 Oz can of Coke contains 39g of sugar.  Grin

doesn't make it any less sugary. i limit my soda drinking these days because those, too, are diabetes drinks.

i don't drink vietnamese ice coffee anymore too - i get nauseated as fuck with that thing. it's so potent.

Clippers for sure. NBA playoffs have seemed so rigged so far though. Refs trying way too hard to extend each series to 7 games.

when does the nba not seem rigged anyways? i think they most likely are rigged, but i'm not sure how. do they decide who wins, or do they just decide who covers the line?
2387  Other / Off-topic / Re: Donald Sterling Racism Controversy on: May 05, 2014, 05:33:52 AM
Donald Sterling sure is fucked, all around fucked. He's going to die now not as a legend but a rich racist loser. He was complaining about his little golddigger taking a picture with the legend Magic Johnson. I mean, he must really have some pent up aggression if he's going to flip out about a black guy with his chick when that black guy is one of the biggest names to ever play the sport he was involved on for most of his life!

So sad, I hope the other owners vote him out and sell off his stake. It would be awesome if someone like like Dennis Rodman or Jay-Z bought his portion!  
For sure Dennis is broke and cant afford it but Jay can! And he's owned a small portion of a basketball team before. I wouldn't be surprised if hes been reaching out to pick up Donalds part. He's going on tour with Beyoncé this year, average ticket price?? $336!! Smiley He can afford it.

Actually, I bet he's going to buy at least some of Donalds share.

Anyone want to give me some odds?



i think it's either magic's group or oprah's.

also, interestingly enough about stern.. he's also racist to whities. he didn't want to pay JJ reddick because "no white guy is worth that much money." he's a strange man who sees everything through the filter of race.

i like mark cuban and tend to agree with him. he's a racist asshole, but it's a slippery slope when the NBA gets too much power.

I don't know much about Mark Cuban, except the fact that he owns the Dallas Mavericks. Why you are calling him a racist? Has he ever made similar remarks as Donald Sterling did?

NO WAY!!! Mark Cuban is awesome.

he is. and i think he's one of the best owners in the league. he's made some really good decisions, at least in my opinion, with the mavs franchises. decisions that most owners wouldn't have taken. instead of re-upping his 2011 championship team, he decided for a rebuild.. which was the right choice imo.

no, i mean i agree with mark cuban in saying that sterling was a racist. i wasn't clear with that. mark cuban is one of the billionaires who i don't think deserve to be on a shitlist; he does a lot of nice things for dallas mavericks fans and genuinely cares about the team winning. i think he probably cares about the team as much as he does making money off it. he's a shrewd, common sense guy.

Donald Sterling’s “slippery slope”: The limits of our new anti-racist consensus

http://www.salon.com/2014/05/03/donald_sterlings_slippery_slope_the_limits_of_our_new_anti_racist_consensus

Quote
The first sign of a crack in America’s temporary anti-racist popular front came early and was courtesy of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. In the midst of the first wave of widespread anti-Sterling sentiment, before NBA commissioner Adam Silver had slapped the longtime Clippers owner and wealthy slumlord with a lifetime ban, a $2.5 million fine and a warning that his days as a member of the NBA’s ownership fraternity were numbered, Cuban was already following what’s since become an increasingly familiar script. He made sure to let everyone know that he didn’t think Sterling’s comments were anything other than “abhorrent,” but also cautioned against actually doing anything about them, saying that punishing Sterling for being an unreconstructed bigot would place the league on a “very, very slippery slope.”

i don't like it when people make bitcoin comparisons to the internet. they are not the same thing. while bitcoin has promise, the internet is a portal to the world wide web. bitcoin is a currency system. the internet is a utility, which means it's pretty important to have; people view bitcoin as more of an luxury or accessory.

2 seasons. you will have to wait a while for season 3.

louis is finally back after an 18 months hiatus - i fucking love louis ck.

I don't mind his stand up comedy and some of it's pretty funny from the short clips I've seen on YouTube, but of the few episodes I've seen of his sitcom I really don't get it at all. Only watched a few episodes of the first season but found it really unfunny. I've seen the episode with Ricky Gervais as well.

i don't really find it that funny. it's just a show about the musings of his mind. he plays just a regular joe trying to raise his kids. i get it if most people don't like it, but i do.
2397  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russel Brand's MSM coup on: May 04, 2014, 07:22:47 PM
I've been a fan of Russell from way before he was famous and regardless of what anyone says about him he does have a lot of interesting things to say. He's going to have to find a balance between being a Hollywood A-lister and an outspoken libertarian (or whatever you want to call him) without looking like a hypocrite though (not that you can't necessarily be both). He's a very intelligent person and I agree with the vast majority of what he has to say, but I really hope he doesn't ruin his career because of his outspoken views as I can easily see him getting blackballed and falling into obscurity like many others who speak out against the norm or MSM etc.

I also love how Russell manages to woo pretty much any woman that he comes into contact with. I suspect that's why a lot of men hate him haha.

i'm a fan of his, and also a meditator like him. he's pretty awesome. i know some people criticize him for "preaching" while living with abundant wealth, but it's not a big issue for me.

btw, if guys hate him, it's because he kind of has a bohemian/hippie style to him. and they hate that.

I think criticising his wealth is a petty topic really and that's usually also just out of jealousy, but I'm sure there are many reasons why people, especially men, dislike him: wealth, fame, looks, intelligence, Englishness, eccentricity, outspokenness, and most of all the sheer amount of women he's slept with and they haven't  Cheesy.

And I don't get the whole meditating thing. I've always been a sceptic of it but maybe I just don't understand it.

you should try the meditation before being a skeptic. doesn't that make sense?

and being british makes him hateable huh.. i didn't know people hated brits. i think the people who don't like him because he speaks freely and has that hippie vibe - lots of americans hate hippies, mainly the conservatives.

You don't think people hate people because of their nationality? You also seem to try make a point of my Englishness or Britishness when you can too  Cheesy. People will use whatever they can about you to try get one over or dislike you for it.

And I'm a sceptic on spiritualist mediums, but it doesn't mean I need to go see one to confirm my suspicious. All meditation looks like to me is closing your eyes and relaxing. I do that all the time right before I go to bed.

there's a difference between talking shit and hating/disliking someone or something. i just talk shit about brits. i've never really heard someone say "fuck that guy man, he's a brit."
2398  Other / Off-topic / Re: Donald Sterling Racism Controversy on: May 04, 2014, 07:21:18 PM
yeah, and since he bought it for pennies on the dollar, he could stand to lose 200-300 mllion from that alone. i think the NBA shouldn't have the autonomy to force a sale.

the news is also out that he is currently battling cancer, so the guy might die before the litigation is over.

Litigation will be of no use to Donald Sterling. NBA acted according to their rules and Sterling has no argument here. Too bad.... he may get some $400-500 million after the taxes, which is not too bad IMO.

lol... one leaked phone call and a loss of $233 million. Be careful billionaires.  Grin

you do know that the nba's rules can be contested right? especially if they are misusing their powers. sterling is going to at the very least drag this one out.

i wonder what's going to happen if he ends up dying and his heirs receive the franchise.. would the league try to force his kids out? because that wouldn't be fair.

The NBA already said they do not want his family to own the team.
I think the owners will vote soon (on the forced sale), but I forget the date.

i think it's already unanimous that they are going to force him out. but the commisioner has already stated that he expects stern to take this to court; he's already told stern that the NBA is willing to fight the fight.
