I think the finals will be Thunder vs Bucks.

My brain says the Thunder will win that but going to be spicy and go the Bucks with Giannis getting cup MVP.

Caught the end of this one and wow what a what a comeback by the Rockets. Not sure how the Warriors let that one slip away.

Magic put up a good fight missing 2 of their best players but Giannis and Dame were too much to overcome.

Middleton still a bit rusty since coming back but even with his shot not falling he had a good impact from his assists.

Nice glad it worked for you too!

Can’t even blame them, if this happens in 2k you’re restarting the season lol

Has any other team in history had this many injuries to rotation players in a season?

At this point the pelicans should pick random fans in the stand to play to make it fun.

Couple thoughts I have:

• I’m definitely open to moving instances so that we can do the high seas links again. There’s also some instances that world isn’t federated with so moving to one that’s a bit more open might gain some more people so think we can gain some visibility here.
• I like the idea for fantasy basketball and would be willing to help organize and post about it since I’m in a couple leagues.
• For the fediverse as a whole think we may need to venture back to Reddit a bit to try to peel off some people there. We need to make sure Lemmy is known as an alternative so people know where to go as Reddit gets worse and worse.

Damn another tough break for the Magic, at least the East is pretty weak it shouldn’t affect their chance at the post season.

Giannis just baited someone with a pump fake ON A 3!

Yeah pretty much all the issues in the country boil down to the accumulation of massive wealth in the hands of a few people and any solution that isn’t directly addressing the system that allows that is just a bandaid.

Unfortunately the answer is going to be organizing locally and working to educate people on what the actual causes of their problems are which is going to take time. The only silver lining is the systemic problems will become increasingly difficult to ignore which creates the opening for change, we just need to be ready to seize that opportunity.

I agree that the lions share of the blame is on the landlords for sure but think because everyone knows their gonna be terrible we’d hope government agencies would do a bit better job of policing it so when they don’t it also needs to be called out so it can hopefully be improved.

The text of the deal prevents Hezbollah from carrying out “any operations” against Israel, but it states that Israel will refrain from “any offensive military operations” against Lebanese targets. “It’s kind of a bit insidious where they say ‘offensive,’ meaning somehow there’s this little kind of wiggle room for what they will interpret as defensive, which in Israeli logic and discourse and action means anything,” Makdisi said. “Anything can happen. They can say, ‘Well, this is defense.’ Even the genocide in Gaza, as far as they’re saying, is defensive.” Both Netanyahu and Biden emphasized that the ceasefire was conditioned on the principle that Israel would not be bound by the same rules as Lebanon. “Let me be clear: If Hezbollah or anyone else breaks the deal and poses a direct threat to Israel, then Israel retains the right to self-defense consistent with international law, just like any country when facing a terrorist group pledged to that country’s destruction,” Biden said. He offered no comment on the rights of the Lebanese to protect themselves from Israeli violations or direct threats to their security.

Yeah very little chance this lasts long since Israel has stated everything they do is “defensive”. Murdering unarmed children, bombing hospitals, a literal genocide is all “defensive” to them.

As @geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml said she turned on the left awhile ago.

Think it’s like the free space in bingo, don’t even need to mention it because it’s assumed that we’re to blame lol

Fun to watch and glad to see Levy win! I enjoy his YouTube walkthroughs of openings more than any others I’ve found.

The specific comment I responded to was talking about whether liberals are leftists.

If you’re asking whether I believe liberals support a little wealth distribution (specific amount depends on the individual) in the form of taxes for social programs I’d say yes the meme isn’t absolutely correct.

I’d also probably recommend to you just to save you time is to not take leftist memes (or any really) as a literal/specific endorsement of a policy or idea, it’s likely an exaggeration.

Didn’t say you couldn’t attempt some wealth redistribution under capitalism but it’s not really related to what the discussion was. The left/right dichotomy for political economics isn’t based on whether there’s an attempt at wealth redistribution it’s whether the economic system is capitalism.

Also at the end of the day you can try to gain concessions from the capitalist class through social programs but there’s a hard limit on what will be allowed and as soon as the capitalist class is able to they will push for austerity for the working class. It’s been seen numerous times in history.

And they all still enshrine the sanctity of private property which was my point when referencing the definition. All the variations of liberalism still boil down to a capitalist ideology.

There is a set definition for what liberalism is.

Because it considers private property a core foundation it literally can’t be left wing. Leftists (whether socialists or anarchists) believe private (not personal) property should be abolished.

Looks like it’s a CreepyPasta, here’s a Wikipedia article on it.
