Jesus. His daughter was with him? That’s really sad...

Yeah just the one apparently, but she was the one that was kind of famous for the bond that she and Bryant shared and their shared love of the game. Kobe was a big supporter of the WNBA due in no small part to his daughter's plans to go pro and become the female version of her dad. Bryant was also on like the opposite side of the spectrum from players like Charles Barkley (who publicly abhorred the thought that basketball players should be role models) and was an active influence on young players to be role models for young fans. Trae Young talked about that after the game last night: how Bryant stressed to him how important it was to engage young fans, be a role model, and make Young's legacy one that would teach future generations to do the same.

Of course, there are fuddy duddy Trump supporter-types commenting on the stuff with shit like "people die every day, he was just a basketball player that cheated on his wife durrrr," but any death of a famous person always brings fuck heads out of the woodwork.

Fucking Hell! RIP.






A part of my childhoid just died.

Yeah, there have been a lot of pretty touching and on-point tributes shown on ESPN.

The two best imo were from a random LA super fan, who kind of touched on what I said yesterday about Kobe being a symbol of dedication, and Jay Williams.

I've seen way more hateful stuff when a Koch brother died. Even stuff towards his brother.

Good, I hope he gets raped on estate taxes

Good
- him

I’m actively celebrating his death right now. It's a little early but I've got a bottle of champagne popped and a cigar lit. It's friday too! - what a day! #blessed

He's dead, get over it.
Stop being a snowflake.

Thank you, Mr. Koch. For giving your life to Medicare For All. Now may you rest in piss.

That's because he was a really awful, awful person who made the world a worse place. And his brother still is an awful, awful person who makes the world a worse place.

Kobe was a hero to many. The Kochs are heroes to no one, except other rich-born scumbags looking to spend their money in ways that allow them to get richer at the expense of society, the poor, the planet, and the pursuit of truth generally. When they die, the world will be a little bit better and only those who knew them personally will weep.

This is federal arrests? Or local nationwide? Looking for some context here. Can you link the tweet?

Federal drug laws are so stupid, leave it to the states

1.44 fatalities per 100,000 hours of flight time. If you spend 1000 hours in a chopper over a lifetime, you're still only 98.6% safe lol. That's a yikes from me dawg.

I believe your math is a little off in case it makes you feel any better. 1.44/100,000=0.00144/100=99.86%.

Yup. Feds should manage drug busts at port of entries and allow fed assistance to communities or states for amounts above X if requested so that they can collaborate for the truly big dogs. Leave the dealers and local distributors to the states to handle how they see fit

I agree but I also think on the federal level they're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Immediately post 9/11 the feds moved EVERYTHING to counter-terror, leaving the drug shit on the street level and just above street level to the locals. Then stuff like this:


And real life news stories shined a light on how ineffective/poorly set up local cops were to deal with the shit.

I saw it in my last job and a little bit in my current job. TONS of perps no matter what they arrested for... GENERALLY (with exceptions, usually around sex crimes) these people have drug charges in their past.

Okay I'm gonna go commit suicide now.

Federal.

Indeed, leave it to the states to make their own draconian laws so their own police officers can plant drugs on people and incarcerate them for profit. That is verily the shmegegge at hand.

uh oh, I'm getting 99.998

No, he was right. Your math is the one a bit incorrect. A simple ratio like yours would mean at 100,000 hours you would have assuredly died 1.44 times.

Treating an hour of flight time as a singular unit of risk, you have .00144% chance of dying. Or 99.99856 chance of living through that hour in a chopper. Take that to the thousandth power and its 98.57% chance you'll live.

This way, if you do spend 100,000 hours in a helicopter, you only have a 23.7% chance of living through all of it, but that's not 0.

You both make good points, but I meant the laws themselves not the law enforcement per se. I’ve deliberately never been involved in specialized drug enforcement because I have moral objection to it so I can’t speak to that.

But the mandatory minimums and classifications of levels of narcotics at the federal level is just objectively stupid.

Agreed on classification of the narcotics. I hate to go all bro-science Rogan here but his favorite drug, DMT is in the same rank as like fucking meth and heroin. LSD is as well when LSD was initially developed to be a migraine medication... that WORKS as that but has side effects that literally everyone experiences.

I have a friend that works for the warrant squad in Seattle and another that after the military became a DEA door kicker and routinely when I ask how their jobs are going:
"Why the fuck am I kicking in the door of a rundown essentially row house when the motherfucker we SHOULD be arresting owns a 4 million dollar penthouse?"

Kobe was a hero to many. ... rich-born - looking to spend their money in ways that allow them to get richer at the expense of ... the poor

So Barrack Obama said along the lines of "At a certain point you have enough" as he has his $14 million dollar home.

Was Kobe not trying to be rich? Was he trying to help the poor as he amassed whatever his net worth was

Bernie has John Cusack speak for him, his alleged net worth is $50 mill, is he trying to help the poor with his millions...

Steve Jobs was beloved, was he trying to help the poor
