Are you replying to the right person? I was agreeing with you.

This is clever, well-framed, and I starred it - but I’m not sure it totally works. For one thing, a man committing sexual assault is making a conscious decision to commit a crime; cyclists open themselves up to dangerous/fatal accidents just by sharing a clogged space with motorists (which is certainly their right to…

There was a boy with severe social issues in school with me. Throughout little league, every time he got up he would strike out swinging on three pitches. One fateful at-bat, he made beautiful, solid contact and lined one right to me at second base. The entire field held its collective breath as I jumped, reached up,…

Today, group labels matter a lot.

I thought it was a neat idea with a lot of potential that was poorly executed. This is probably more controversial, but I actually thought the same about the gritty/emo version of nascent Superman for Man of Steel. Could have worked well in the hands of more competent storytellers.

This is a very thorough and thoughtful response. Not used to this online. Appreciate it and wish you a good day my friend.

I’ve never quite understood this argument. Shouldn’t something like mental edge only matter insofar as it manifests to on-court results? Isn’t this kind of like saying you think one writer is better than another, or one chef to another, because of their mental edge and not just their products?

Anyone not worried about the potential impact the Secretary of Education can have has obviously never seen Battlestar Galactica.

Statements like this make my skin crawl. No one knows what precise factors cause markets to move the way they do. It’s possible “this alone” caused Snap to dip ten percent, but other unrelated market forces concurrently drove it back up six. It’s (very) possible that most of the institutional money being moved on Snap…

I also base my decisions on where to live on a thing that occurs once a year and a different thing that occurs every hundred years.

He looks like a great player, and I appreciate the KHL caveat, but man... that clip in the header features some of the most shameful defending I’ve ever seen at a professional level.

These are the same folks who always say, “If you’re pissing everyone off, it means you’re doing something right!”

Politically, it’s kind of smart. The White House gets to claim it’s taking action without addressing the root issue, which as we all know, would enrage its base. Said base has demonstrated time and again it doesn’t care for things like evidence-based studies or rational thought, so the fact that this is an empty…

I’ve never seen a pundit who can get straight to the surface of an issue quite like Chris Cillizza.

You say “Team Soledad” as though there is another side one could justifiably take.

These comments stress me out on behalf of everyone who doesn’t follow ridiculously stupid internet culture. But then I remember that by not following ridiculously stupid internet culture, they probably live better lives than I do.

Yep, the Compendium - this was my first thought too. It’s a nice system: a good way to support the game if you want (and get some fun rewards) while not feeling like you’re missing too much if you elect not to.

I despise these right-wing dipshits, I really do, but the examples here don’t really feel like freaking out to me. I personally think Kyle Smith is wrong about Get Out, one of my favorite movies in a long time, being an SNL sketch, but he’s not exactly in melt down mode here. And the primary theme wasn’t nuanced at…

I think they’re just looking to sort out the Pat McAfees from the John McAfees.

I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know here, but unfortunately yeah. Tens of millions of them. Who, if they hear a hundred sources say one thing while Trump says the exact opposite, assume Trump is right and everyone else is in cahoots and out to get him. I don’t think Trump is responsible for creating…
