we should obviously ban gambling again but it's a lot of fun and in addition to this I’m making a very very small amount of money on a monthly basis (enough to cover a week's worth [almost half a tank] of gas) so in this context it's difficult to say if we should obviously ban gambling again or not

I'm picturing this as if you are somehow online sports gambling version of the John Turturo character from Rounders, grinding out a meager living gambling while avoiding the allure of the big payout.

e: I had a similar take when Diablo 3 introduced a real-money auction house and I wrote a script to trawl for undervalued items that real people would apparently pay upwards of $200 for. It was clearly stupid and bad but I made like $6k in a month so who can say if it was good or bad.

ee: In retrospect, this was one of the most existing periods of my life and it wasn't about the money per se. I think it was just the first time I got to experience unalienated labor in a weird fashion.

i wrote a an autohotkey script to farm items from some specific spot in order to sell them on the real money auction house. i think i ended up earning like $5 lol

I got to the point where I wrote an excel VBA script that would take in info from the excel table of item stats and buy prices and generate the AHK script. So I just had to keep up on what the rates were every few days, update the table, and click a button.

good god i forgot about that

i wonder if there will be any similar feelings about the 2021 draft. cade still seems quite good

The only misses in 2021 seem to be Alpie Sengun, Herb Jones, and I guess maybe Quentin Grimes going late. Nothing close to the Luka miss.

I think Jalen Green has untapped potential but so far he's been a pretty awful 2nd pick. If Houston had Scottie Barnes with Sengun they would be a playoff team right now

They might have been referring to the Kings drafting Davion Mitchell 9th who's easily been the worst player from the top ten that year. Jalen Johnson was a pretty huge miss at #20 and Trey Murphy at #17 as well

You're not wrong but Jalen Green vs Scottie Barnes is a pretty basic hindsight draft What-If. At least relative to Luka stuff and everyone that missed on Hali.

I hung out with my wife's old college roommate last weekend and he is currently seeing a dancer from Philly who apparently has interacted with Harden many times in the club. She said he is very quiet and distant and refuses to look the girls in the eye. Pays well though.

This is apropos of nothing, just reminded me that I forgot to post about that thus far.

Can someone explain to me the point of a ten-day contract

I'm happy for IT but if it's just a week and a half it kind of feels more like an activity than a comeback

Celtics should hire IT as a Front Office / Bench Coach no-show job for $15m a year to make good and end the curse.

James Harden is so unlikable. How he has fans ia beyond me.

Now Kawhi, that man is likable. He seems like a chill guy you could have a chill time with.

Paul George has serious two first name energy. That can be a good thing as long as youre prepared for it. Also he fishes, which Ive always wanted to know more about.

Kawhi has two first names unless his actual first name doesn't count.
