Thanks! This thread should probably be on Lifehacker.

This is progress. Usually Cleveland police protest browns by shooting them.

It also requires a subtlely racist open letter to the local newspaper.

I hate that you’re likely right. In our society, nurse Wubbles is most likely to get the result of the department taking appropriate action by suing over Detective Payne’s conduct. I share your doubt that any internal investigation will have teeth to change his behavior in the future, but a sizable settlement payment…

From what I understand they wanted his blood so that they can test it and hopefully it will come back as dirty (drugs or alcohol etc.). Then if he wanted to bring a civil suit against the department for being injured due to thier high speed chase, which I think is against the departments policy, they can bring up his…

To cover their asses over a potential unwarranted high speed chase; blame the victim, not themselves.

If the detective and his supervisor aren’t fired, permanently barred from law enforcement and security work, and the detective charged with Assault against health care provider and emergency medical service worker Utah Code Title 76 Ch. 5 Part 1 Sect. 102.7 and Assault Utah Code Title 76 Ch. 5 Part 1 Sect. 102 and…

Most books won’t put a line on a IA-IAA match, but UNLV gets a line because they’re local.

As-fucking-if.

They should get fired, but they won’t.

I honestly think it’s shifting that way for Harvard especially, but also Yale and so forth. Interestingly, the tech universities are still seen as being meritocratic and excellent- you don’t hear anyone talking shit about kids from MIT or Caltech.

There’s also a lot of scholarships that are given to less connected, poor but exceptional students to go to Ivy league schools. Those scholarships are funded by donations from legacy families.

It would be the equivalent of going to an ER and saying you have chest pain

“Use these magic words: “I have a mole that’s changing/bleeding and I’m afraid that it’s melanoma.”” 

More baffling than these games existing, are the people who actually go to the game. I truly don’t get it.

On the surface this seems like an absolute steal for the Cavs both short and long term. But I am guessing this deal doesn’t get done without Stephens go ahead, and he and Ainge must see something in Irving that us laymen don’t.

He hit the game winning shot in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. He “hit himself some nice shots in the playoffs” the same way that Lebron “showed a little hustle” when he came out of the rafters to block Igudola.

The Celtics don’t have a team built around LeBron James.

I agree with a lot of your points, but it’s a lot to pay for not having the fans question you. Letting Thomas go for nothing would look bad to some, but if a GM builds a winner I don’t think he has much to worry about in terms of optics one way or the other.

I used to regularly catch the radio interviews they did that ran before Thursday night football broadcasts during my drive home from work and they were the absolute worst few minutes of radio imaginable. Milquetoast questions with ridiculously prepared and sterile answers. I would listen to them out of sheer amazement…
