Yep, just look at all those women and minorities who are high ranking politicians...

Kelly, I don't mean to single you out, because tons Gawker writers (hell, all kinds of writers, not to mention people in general) misrepresent stats, but this article was particularly bad. I mean, if you want to knock sample weighting at least learn (1) how the concept works, and (2) how it was done in this poll. And…

Yeah, but how far can he punt a football?

Fine, be rational about it. I dispute your position but applaud your approach.

Unibroue is overrated and all their beers kind of taste the same. Come at me!

Wait, to keep our feminist cred we need to want Paramore to win best rock song? Out of the nominees, Arctic Monkeys should walk away with it. Sadly, the group with the best album of the year (The Orwells) didn't get any nominations. And Paramore (like most of the nominees) doesn't deserve to be anywhere near an award.…

Mac won the Vanier in 2011, the same guy whose field goal got blocked today missed in the last play of regulation, only to have another chance in double OT and win it.

On the one hand you're right, American cultural influence has overshadowed a lot of home-grown arts (I'm Canadian, I feel it at least as much as you do). On the other hand HOLY SHIT there's a bit of a lack of self awareness in that complaint. I mean, a dominant overseas country sending in music and movies is not quite…

I love the slow build songs when I'm doing long distances. Wintersleep's Nerves Normal Breathe Normal, Cloud Nothings' No Future/No Past, We Were Promised Jetpacks' It's Thunder and It's Lightning.

Depending on the jurisdiction (and obviously your level within the company) they may be enforceable. That being said, a good lawyer will generally be able to negotiate down anything that's unusual or out of line with general industry practice, since apparently most courts have taken an unfavourable view of trying to…

If you took just a few moments to research this, or even think about it logically, you'd see that there's no hard line we know of for cases like this. What is "too much" testosterone to compete as a woman? Is there an equivalent level for men when we should be banning people for having an unfair advantage? What if…

Wow, I actually had no idea, I assumed that on a per-km basis flying emitted far more GHGs. There goes one of my justifications for the 4-5 hour drives I often do. Still hell of a lot cheaper though.

I've heard a lot of "white out" as a synonym for "in the weeds" in the kitchen, as in there are tickets all the way across your board.

For the soccer one, way over 1 in 100. Stopping a penalty shot is hard, there are some spots in the net that even a pro goalie just can't get to. If you just aimed for the corner every time and kicked it as hard as you could I figure you get to 5 easy, and 10 isn't out if the question if you practiced a little.

Wouldn't it be (marginally) better if they did admit it? Then at least no one would be under the illusion that the rankings are pure and untouched or whatever.

I would add:

I largely agree with your summation, but I do have one thing to quibble with. The idea that ISIS will somehow "spill over" to North America is, in my mind ridiculous. People keep saying this, but I just really really don't see it. How exactly is this going to happen? Once they take over Iraq will the militants just…
