I’m sorry, but that’s not entirely true, at least with respect to bankruptcy. That kind of case would fall under none of the exceptions to discharge provided by 11 USC 523.

Also, I’m pretty sure individuals who couldn’t access XBL or PSN would have no basis to sue the kid. They maybe have grounds to sue MS or Sony for…

Germany had fifteen good minutes, on the outside, in the entire fixture. This was hardly rigged. Frankly, they got out-coached.

But, hey, keep on yelling about “’Murica” and pretending that FIFA isn’t corrupt as fuck if that makes you feel better about it, I guess.

Kelley O’Hara.

I keep seeing that we shouldn’t expect much Zelda talk this year. Where is that coming from? I can’t seem to find the original source.

Hey. Jimmy was the Wizard. He just played the older brother.

A week late: this is absolutely true! And it’s related to, but separate from, the origins of the Fighting Irish nickname. (Which, to be fair, are somewhat disputed, but...!)

As I understand it, as a member of a fiercely Irish-Catholic family who personally has only tenuous connections to the school, the name comes from…

God dammit, Burke. It’s rubber CHECKS, not rubber Czechs.

And as far as we know, Vanek paid all of his gambling debts, so there are probably none of those hanging around the X-Cel center tonight.

Gotta make it look like you’re trying if you wanna get paid?

Well, when Indiana conquers Ireland, kills most of the population, and espouses a policy of exiling the remainder to the shittiest part of Wexford, we’ll have a chat, junior.

Because if they don’t suck at their jobs, that’s the best way to make sure he stays down and doesn’t start running around like the Idiot on the Field he is without anybody getting hurt. Unfortunately, a lot of security guards (and, on a related note, cops) suck at their jobs, so it doesn’t always work out that way.

This was worthwhile because the #bestfansinbaseball were amused and cheered for him! Hopefully they held a fundraiser for his legal fees for him on the way out, because, spoilers: that dude got arrested.

Don’t be an Idiot on the Field. Please find some other way to satisfy your raging, alcohol-fueled narcissism.…

I’m surprised the state was of no help. The NYS DMV has an investigative division staffed by sworn peace officers, and I know a couple of people who work in my local office who do literally nothing but title skipping investigations. They hate their lives, because it’s crazy boring, but they’re really good at it. The…

Yes: is it wrong of me to hope that you hurt yourself making that fantastic leap in logic?

In today's episode of "WTF, Kinja?" this article is displaying on Facebook with the picture from Gawker's post from earlier today where they endeavored to out Kevin Spacey. I spent about ten seconds looking at the update trying to figure out what the hell Keyser Soze had to do with middle school basketball.

Following up on my own comment: I mean, I get you, I do. But it's a difficult line to toe. Bear in mind, please, that the vast majority of calls like this are in response to domestic violence situations, and that, while situations like this one get a lot of attention in the niche media environment for our chosen…

Where does it say that was what happened? It doesn't, anywhere. You're assuming that from the victim's response. He's rightfully very angry, and his response appropriately focused on the worst thing that happened and the thing that was most obviously dangerous to his family. You're filling in blanks without knowing…

I understand and agree, but in a time-sensitive situation, how are they supposed to know? What is a reasonable standard and method and verification?

What's the appropriate response, in your opinion?

Nobody's saying that this isn't awful. It's obviously awful, and it could have been so much worse. But "hostage situation" is not one of those things where I would be comfortable with law enforcement saying, "Eh, probably fake?" and letting it go. That fact goes into the calculus of doing this shit, which is why it's…

Because if they ignored it and it turned out to be a real hostage situation, the results could be horrendous.
