men do this (i am one) do this to create emotional distance. after an intimate moment it is easier to ‘casualize’ the encounter. the use of a word like ‘hey’ works pretty well to accomplish this goal.

is there going to be a point when people begin to get suspicious of Ledecky’s dominance? She is winning in a way reserved for people on a combination of HGH, vicodin, meth, and horse tranquilizers. is anyone raising suspicion? like other countries?

Philly fan:

i’m a Yankee fan as well. who the fuck still thinks the * is necessary?

many, many Yankee fans won’t be pretending to celebrate that milestone though. the guy is a sure-fire HOF’er who deserves to wring every last at bat out of his career, and with the Yankees as bad as they are these HRs are one of the few things they can celebrate this year.

yes

this is one of the dumber takes i’ve seen here. hot, of course, and real dumb.

so if I go into a dealership and say ‘i’m thinking of buying one of your trucks for my building company, can you tell me how many miles per gallon does this truck get’ the dealer DOESN’T HAVE TO TELL ME? this seems completely insane. I get that they may not be required to use it in their advertising materials, but are…

Tennis is pretty much the only sport I follow religiously. I am SO disappointed by this, but happy to hear that he plans to continue playing for awhile...

no one expects Hillary to ‘weed out money and corruption in politics.’ rather, her supporters expect her to ‘actually run the country competently’ and ‘not embarrass the United States on the world stage’ while also ‘hopefully addressing many of the issues Bernie raised insofar as she can, while trying not to…

On a somewhat unrelated note I have been wondering this for a long time: why has ESPN discontinued its coverage of F1? They used to show races, had dedicated coverage of the drivers, etc. Now they NEVER mention it on the air, despite the fact it is the 2nd most-watched sport in the world. What happened between ESPN…

brilliant

I’m not sure I buy the argument that in order for someone to say ‘imagine it was your daughter’ (or another female relative) that they are required to feel ‘ownership’ over whomever it is they’re talking about. Isn’t that a bit of a big assumption to make? I’m not saying people shouldn’t think before making any kind…

and you can take that straight to the Jos A Bank

I love the way it ends, with the spray chart/glove line. I was also surprised how good it was
