All this is true, but it’s a nationally televised address to a large audience from the party not in charge. It’s tough to pass up.

oh fuck off.

HRC (or any Democrat that has so far achieved national recognition) would probably like to go easy on Wall Street banks, but they also would have to placate Warren. It would have been a compromise. That is loads better than this shitshow. 

I think this problem will eventually take care of itself.

Heroes of the dorm was terrible last year. I remember there being something like 5k viewers through most of it.... pretty terrible considering normal competitive HoTS averages 15k. Not sure what Heroes of the Dorm had in previous years but I want to guess it was above 50k viewers.

I figure after last year, New England fans are probably about as insufferable as they’re going to get, whereas Philadelphia still has a ceiling they haven’t yet hit. Which is why it hurts me to say, but I gotta pull for the Pats.

No, we can’t. We tried doing that for decades and sexist assholes took that opportunity to take control of the country.

The thing about competitive trash-talk is that it comes in “levels.” Those levels are divided into what’s appropriate amongst friends who know each other well enough to be able to accept a barb without taking offense, mixed groups of friends and acquaintances where more care is warranted, groups of strangers where…

About the dropping viewer numbers: I tune in every night, but usually drop off after the second set of matches. Watching 5 straight hours is rough, no matter the quality of the matches...

headline is wrong... clearly thats a snoyota

Good. Here’s hoping the dude who passed Barriss the address receives similar charges.

There’s, “Oh, I’m trolling for the LOLz,” and then there’s SWATting. You call in an armed response team, you have to know there’s the potential for something to go wrong—and if you contact someone else to have them do it for you, then…

I prefer that to a flood of emotes, memes, and no moderation at all due to how fast everything moves. I see actual conversations going on. It’s amazing.

If it were all I did, I’d probably be miserable, but as an accessory to real work that helps inform and entertain people, it’s NBD.

This is a very good and relevant reference.

my bones were already hurting because of the cold weather and the kids playing pokemon go on my lawn.

Well, sustainable forestry includes things like just thinning instead of clear cutting, which is closer to what you’d have to do for a landing pad.

Give the kid a break, he learned how to play defense from James Harden.
