It’s funny, I don’t remember saying I thought tax increases were good...or bad...or any kind of judgment. Let me re-read what I wrote, hang on a sec.

I’m not prepared to 100% vouch for the accuracy of this source:

Chuck Klosterman is a turd who confuses contrarianism with insight at every opportunity. R2-D2 is wonderful and Jar-Jar is objectively awful.

Yes, that is exactly what happened, at the midnight showing, to 19 year old me and my college buddies. We walked out and looked at each other like, “That...wasn’t really good, was it?”

You believe every scenario you cited fits the definition of a demonstration as I originally used it? In other words (yours I presume) every time a person enters a grocery store and buys meat, it is a “demonstration” in the same way this staged video op is a “demonstration.” That is a statement you are comfortable…

Not, “may be the case.” It is the case. My other source is the video above, which as an actual document is considered a primary source, so...

You’re using an overly broad definiton of “Demonstration”. In the widest sense, yes going to the market to buy meat “demonstrates” that you’re in line with the vast vast vast majority of Americans. But it is so utterly unremarkable that to call it a “demonstration” and say that it is of a kind with Vegan/Vegetarians…

I don’t understand your reply. My comment was, “Nobody goes to the store to demonstrate...” Your reply is, “Plenty of people avoid buying meat at the store to show...”

Nobody goes to a store to buy meat as a demonstration that they’re “in line” with the values of a certain demographic. This was a display. It would be like trying to appeal to a Piano Players Union by sitting down at a Casio Keyboard, hitting the DEMO button then hamming it up for the camera. He should be ashamed that…

Does it seem to anyone else like halfway through every single sentence, Joe Buck forgets what the hell he was saying and just kinda...wings it? “And now for a guy who has had some trouble with the glove.....gets a taste of his own medicine, does Alides Escobar...who gets thrown out to end the inning.”

The best.

1000% chance that the knuckleheads defending PhillyPunchGuy would instead defend NYKnockedOutGuy....if his response to getting punched was to pull out his gun and shoot PhillyPunchGuy dead.

If they “dip down below 60%” they will have an expected value of each try of 2 x 0.6 = 1.2 I challenge you to come up with a reason why a team who converts at 60% would change their mind and start going for 2 less often? The only time that would make sense is late in the game, when the score is tied following a…

What a humorless bunch of assholes. The teams as a professional endeavor that pays their bills exist ONLY because people find entertainment value in them and will pay to watch. They don’t exist because baseball is an inherently valuable activity. Without fans, you would be playing for free in an empty park. Like, for…

How uninterested did Kurt Zouma look on all those goals?

What is a Mercedes C class? It is an S Class that has been shrunk slightly and had a bunch of S Class’ cool features removed. That is why it’s not as good as a 3 Series.

Eight Speed Manual? Is that a typo or is that a real thing?

2015 version of the belt clip for your giant cell phone, like the one Robin Williams had at the beginning of Hook.

You have to assume she’s there to earn a living. Her smile and kindness and attentiveness are tools of the trade. She’s there explicitly to serve you and cater to your needs. That’s an inherently unfair environment. She feels an obligation to be nice because it is her job. The playing field is so unlevel that it’s…

Absolutely never. Same answer for “How do I hit on the hot girl/guy at his or her place of business?”
