Back in my day, players didn’t need coddling. Hell, that little league pitcher Danny Almonte wouldn’t even drive his children on the team for ice cream after losses.

Since Lackey has a second career as the replacement to Frank Oz as voice of Fozzie Bear, I’m surprised he got on via hit, and not a “Walk-a, Walk-a”

Would have been fun to have a contest to pick a name. I can think of a few off the top of my head: “Machete”, “Mockster” “Needler” and of course my favorite “Rantorama.”

To me it just seems like an (extremely transparent) effort to point out what a “good” victim she was. She was white! She was conventionally attractive! She was unarmed! She was a straight woman about to be married! And obviously, she didn’t deserve to be shot by a police officer when she was requesting help, but the…

BLM shut down the Mayor’s press conference today and organized the marches today because since day 1 their words and actions have said that it was about police brutality first, race second because of how it affects that community unequally. This only shows that they have integrity, while ALM folks only exist to oppose…

He does look positively jubilant. Certainly seems to be in a better mood than when he shot out those phone company truck tires.

Not really. They can put a lien against any property you own, which might be particularly hampering if you need a place to live or a way to get to work and they take one or both.

You’re not bravely striking back at some faceless monolith, you’re refusing a collective responsibility. Even without ACA, you won’t be refused health care if you can’t pay. The rest of us will pay for it with higher taxes and insurance costs. We make the bread and you eat it.

And you didn’t qualify for any of these exceptions?https://www.healthcare.gov/2016-exemptions/

That is the whole point of the system though. It is supposed to guarantee a certain number of healthy buyers to offset the flood of “unhealthy” buyers in the system. Without it the mandate, the whole thing falls apart. Yes “healthy” people pay more when it might be unnecessary but it guarantees an affordable cost when…

So you have an economic suffering story? It does sound bad. How do you feel about a person getting another limb lopped off because of diabetes and they couldn’t afford the maintenance medications because it was ‘pre-exisiting’?

The number of people in Canada who filed for bankruptcy last year, due to medical bills: 0.

You’re not getting screwed, you’re paying $116 a month to maintain a system you can easily buy into if you ever get sick enough that buying insurance makes sense and/or could save your damn life. That’s a lot cheaper than maintaining expensive insurance pre-ACA through your healthy years to avoid getting caught in a…

I ger the lighthearted headline, but if I might be That Guy for a moment, this topic is really serious for me. Medical marijuana has been a godsend for my PTSD. Even though I live in california where it has been legal for 20 years, I couldn’t try it because i was in the military. So I suffered needlessly for about two…

I can honestly say I have never in my life ever spent one second of my life concerned about someone seeing my butthole during sex. It has never even entered into my mind.

Fun fact about that song that no one but me finds interesting: it’s a rare usage of 7/4 time.
