Eh...not 100% sure of that. So let me spin it a different way; if the joke was that a man was telling a Jenner/Kardashian sibling that their fantasy was to make a video with Kim, isn’t it still funny without meaning that the sibling is ugly?

YES! this. Thanks for putting it so clearly.

But the thing is, everyone knows he’s friends with Brad and Leo. That’s why it’s funny. It’s not completely made-up; it’s deliberately a zinger. It’s like telling Dave Franco you prefer James or what not. 

Yeah...a bit too rough on the guy, I think. I watched part of the video, and he narrates well. Kotaku perhaps wanted to push the “outsider” narrative a bit too hard here and is bordering on “noble savage” territory.

Speaking as a thread participant, it’s obvious you and Beefcake are smart guys. Ceasefire? Pretty sure you two aren’t as far apart in thinking as you think you are, just a matter of tone. Also I’m a native Ohioan myself and want to beg you to stop before you remind me of how awful the Browns will be this year, heh.

Judging by the last few entries, I was expecting it to be Washington College of the Mississippi, located in Bucyrus, Ohio.

I’ve lived in the Rust Belt and in upstate NY; that’s a bet worth taking, heh. Plenty of areas where real estate is still rather stagnant.

Eh, some of us lemmings have written so many critiques of HamNomics that we’ve given up, haha. There’s always one new reader per Ham article screaming in the greys, trying to correct his many finance/econ errors, to no avail. I now read the articles just to spot the poor educated souls in the greys.

TBh it’s possible that more people use long-term FWB than ever before; that’s my theory. That lowers number of partners (which is what study was about) but not actual number of sexytimes.

^Good, was hoping someone would have this response. It’s a good debate to have, so bumped you out of the greys to see what others think.

Yeah, I would have bet quite a bit that they would trot Goff onto the field to sell tickets in new LA market. Much as I hate to say so, this seems like a responsible move/choice.

We can only hope. I’m not a big fight fan, and yet I’ll read anything Ham writes about it.

Oof. Perfectly painful, and so politely done, very KC of you.

I’m rooting for mediocrity myself. Let Tebow make it to the majors and, say, hit .240 with 20-25 homers a year, or whatever is just enough performance not to be replaced. The Tebow-lovers and Tebow-haters will then fade away in frustration, neither satisfied.

There’s a weird mannequin vibe to it, no? Agreed.

Fair point. Different cultural norms, perhaps.

May be quibbling here, but I think he’s trying to distance himself from charges of political bias. I get why he might want to stretch a comparison just a bit to make it work, shrug.

Haha! It’s the worst. I’m a big fan of just how deep into horrid memeland the creator went to create that, and the comments are even better if you like extremelyyy dry meme econ humor.

Allow me to make it worse:
