They are not patriots per se, they are post-moderns who are skeptical of reason, science, and so on, and instead see everything in terms of ideology and power dynamics.

It just shows that they’re nationalists, not patriots. Patriots can love their country but recognize its flaws. Patriots want to make their country a better place, which involves admitting it’s not already a perfect place.

Amazing how the party of “free speech” wants to make sure no one can actually speak about things.

It’s amazing how brittle some are, such that “America’s history is a bit shit” causes such paroxysms of denial and rage. Doesn’t say much for patriotism that it can’t acknowledge what it loves isn’t perfect.

If you have to ask why, you must be a straight white man who doesn’t know any Black people.

Leaving aside the snow/climate issue, you don’t get much shittier than what happened in women’s figure skating. Seeing a 15 year old girl subjected to that kind of emotional stress and verbal abuse was disgusting.

OTOH, as least I have curling. The Japan’s women team “Loco Solare” (“Local Sunshine”) is a treat. :D

The Olympics in general have become a corrupt, ruinously expensive boondoggle that increasingly only serves as a showcase for authoritarian countries to brag about their growing wealth and sugar coat their human rights’ abuses.

They’re already parody of themselves as their ostensible showcasing of the dedication to…

It isn’t just TV money. The IOC is corrupt as hell. You can’t get them out of those jobs without a subpoena. Local politicians clean up giving out contracts and collecting bribes and kick backs on them. Sochi spent $50B and Rio $20B.  Those are just the official figures.  There is s till a lot of money involved and…

is there a person under 55 that even watched these things? Viewership is down 50% from an already low olympics before. The olympics is a 20th century dinosaur. 

It’s interesting how he’s concentrating on keeping inflammation out of his diet given his success in deflating footballs.

Well my problem with it is the name to be honest. Its literally (insert protein) stock. They just gave stock a new name and acted like it had just been invented/discovered. I just looked up a recipe to check one thing as typical stock, say chicken stock, also contains various veggies, usually things like carrots…

“Bone broth.” Aka beef stock before its rebranding for dolts.

The problem with HFCS has nothing to do with its chemical composition and everything to do with it being used as a cheap filler.  I’ve seen loaves of bread that have HFCS as their second or third ingredient, that’s unhealthy as hell.

Yeah I feel like this guy is a hack who has no clue what he’s talking about.

I have no doubt that Chase had a miserable childhood. That’s been fairly well established. But dude seriously trots this out every time someone wants to talk about his also well-established pattern of being an unmitigated asshole. Dude, you’re 78 years old and rich and famous. Get yourself some therapy. At this point,…

Dave and Maddie from Moonlighting deserve a mention here.   

Of the speculative fiction movies this year, a thought The Green Knight did a much better job of feeling like a fresh take on an old story with some fine visual weirdness. Dune basically seemed to hit on a lot of the “space, but with magic powers and a chosen one” stuff that Star Wars already does. I realize that…

I get the feeling Steve Harvey isn’t joking when he suggested Thompson owes him...but yeah, giving this thin-skinned, misogynistic, all-around piece of shit a platform on this website is all the reasoning I need to bid adieu to this once entertaining, now shit-shell site.

Kenan doesn’t owe this guy shit. He has paid all the dues.

Steve Harvey is a racist misogynist and religious nutbag who really shouldn’t be on TV.
