does this post actually make no sense to anyone else?

That is exactly my point in what’s really wrong with this mentality. When someone wishes me “May the blessings of the Earth Mother be upon you,” they’re not imposing a custom on me: they’re extending their benevolence in what is customary to themselves. I, personally, am thankful eventhough I do not believe in such an

Wow. Talk about a 1st world concern.

Well, this is the dumbest article I’ll bother reading today.

I’m usually very middle-ground in my opinions regarding society, but this is one of those cases where I ask, “Why should the sneezing person care whether or not someone says ‘bless you?’” Most folks know if someone is having a sneezing fit, wait for a few moments for it to subside and extend the blessing. Likewise

Really, it’s come to this?

Colin Kaepernick doesn’t have a job because he won’t stand.

By the time they get there—Haden likely wouldn’t have been part of the plan anyway.

This is all so weird to me. I’ve been a Pens fan since 1987 (specifically, 1987) and I honestly only recently realized how much the world deeply hates the Penguins. There’s a *huge* part of me that wants to scream, “Confirmation bias! The NHL is a crappy league and things get called badly all the time! The Pens

As a parent of three boys, I just feel so sorry for those kids because of what their asshole, attention-whore father is doing to them.

Rarely do you see such an overwhelming physical presence paired with such a juvenile, petty, and ineffectual emotional one. He would make a great inspiration for one of those ‘kid gets morphed into an adult due to magic/quirk/time travel/horrific accident’ movies if he was just a bit/infinitely more pleasant.

Rivers Romo needs to grow up and start a band called “Geezer”

“Wheel of Morality, turn turn turn. Tell us the lesson this player should learn.”

All I got out of this was, “I’m a psycho, so I haven’t worn sweatpants in a long time.”

I come to deadspin to read about sports, dick jokes, and occasionally both. Not politics unless it involves sports or dick jokes.

LH must pay really well if they have become your “go-to destination for men’s basics.”

Except that’s the entire point of taxes. The company pays back into society for all those privileges through state and federal income tax. It’s not like they’re just getting a free ride. They’re paying workers and training fees and insurance and utilities etc. etc. etc. I understand the basic concept, but again,

The primary fallacy in this argument is this though: This assumes that the person in question didn’t also pay in to the roads, to the schools, to the police and the fire department. They paid in as well. So, negating that, it boils back down to the same thing. I should have their money because I want it.

Well, if we’re going to be honest here, when she “hoards” her billions of dollars that money she doesn’t prevent that money from existing. It’s not in a massive coffee can buried in the yard. That money is banked and invested, and others are able to take advantage of that capital to do things like buy homes and build

You think the Walton’s keep their money in secret vaults somewhere waiting for inflation? No. That money is, in large measure, invested in new companies, ideas and ventures. How else do you think she gets richer. Its not simply by sitting back, she puts the money to work making more money. Sure, some of it is in
