I’m not sure most of my teachers should have been allowed a substance as risky as chalk.

and the lawyers would stroke out.

I am a mentally ill American. I am terrified every time something like this comes up that the demonization of the illness, not the shooter and not the tool, is going to have real effects in keeping people from getting help.

I can’t speak to if people think it’s cool to bandwagon as much as, the people I see, just have so many choices that they aren’t following unless it holds their interest. They are into the Reds if they are winning because there’s a buzz and it’s an event. They’re into FC because they are new and buzzing.

I’m always surprised by how much things have changed with representation and respect since I was a kid...and it helps me understand, when I get frustrated with my elderly relatives, how what I’m finding dated and cringey was already light years ahead of where they started with understanding and respecting other…

In my limited experience with the streaming generation, the idea of sitting around all day with one or two games to watch at a time (or total, thanks to blackout rules) shuts them down completely.

You make the original sound so good. Which it was, but I just haven’t seen it in a long time. Now I have even less motivation to work.

I’m barely able to understand the comments in English discussing English, but I appreciate the attempt to educate.

This was a good long analysis.

Like I think I said on your earlier post, deep in the greys, this sounds somewhat familiar. My family is huge into football so I can’t walk away entirely, but I’m more likely than ever to be reading or even watching soccer or hockey on my tablet while they have the games on tv.

Your experience is close to mine, as I’m sure many others have already said before. It hasn’t been an awakening—it’s just been a growing ambivalence. I live near family who are hardcore fans—despite claiming not to watch because of anthem protests (and citing that as the lone reason for declining viewership)—so I…

I look forward to your indictment on homicide charges.

Home invasions and burglaries are also not random crimes. If you’re not dealing drugs and you have decent lights/windows, you’re pretty much outside the statistical risk.

Easy to say on the internet, harder to do when an actual person is dying.

I’d be interested in hearing this too.

I am the worst gamer in history and I would buy two copies of this and the official tee shirt.

The Olympic human interest stories are where 45% of my rage comes from, even in off years. Hate them. I’m hoping the internet streams break the trend. I know in some board room NBC execs have gloated “of course it works, look at our ratings!” as if most people have any real choice.

As a former smart mark that drifted away, I do enjoy these articles.

I need a bleach bath after reading that.

The reality of the fantasy, if you will, is also pretty horrifying as you watch the guy bleed out on your floor, crying for help, or have to scrub the innards off your walls even if it’s a kill shot. Killing is rarely movie-clean, even before the psychological effects.
