There are any number of better ways to subdue someone than a rear naked choke, especially when the person being subdued weighs like a hundred pounds. Hooking under their armpit, for instance. Just as much control with no risk of strangulation and if you have to make them unconscious enough pressure in that position…

I don't believe there is a Hall of Fame for hip-hop, pop, R&B or a number of genres. At least not as recognized as the rock n roll version or the country one. The rock HoF was started by a private foundation set up for that purpose and the country hall was started by a trade association in the industry. Maybe the…

Yeah but unlike a lot of the boxes we put ourselves in political affiliation can change. Insults aren’t going to make that happen. I guess I just expect better from the side that I’ve mostly agreed with my whole life, the side that promotes tolerance. But too many people on both sides are just looking to train their…

If he'd just put his left arm under the guys armpit instead of around his throat he'd have had just as much control without the risk of strangling him. I doubt the victim knew how to effectively defend himself from someone trained so it wouldn't have been difficult.

Everybody's waiting on a leak.

I look at that picture of Jared Leto in his fursuit and I wonder why the shooters go for schools.

Maybe a clip from the original would have made it a bit clearer.

Old school pinball games without flippers were for gambling purposes, kind of like a horizontal pachinko machine if you’re familiar with those. That’s probably where the connection to Vegas comes from. Also why old movies and shows occasionally have the bad guys playing pinball or have a machine in a bar to show that…

“Copyright sucks,”

They’re not supposed to bitch about it where the poors can hear. That’s what used to be called noblesse oblige.

I think you’re ignoring the strong factor of regression to the mean. In this case the mean is a white male so that remains a strong possibility. Honestly Klepper fit the rhythms of the show best in his guest spot, probably from being by far the most senior cast member. He might get it just to make a smooth transition.…

I find it difficult to tell if you’re opposed to the consideration of race and gender in the selection of a new host or not. Are you criticizing the use of those characteristics as criteria or just describing how you think the company’s logic will play out? If the latter you should probably realize that discussing it…

People like to imagine that others who think as they do aren’t idiots. If an idiot could hold the same beliefs as them then it undermines any self-worth those beliefs contribute to. Unfortunately morons occur in every group, often in about the same proportions. Or at least people with such glaring blind spots as to be…

How about just write stories set in Ancient Egypt featuring Black characters? Aside from the occasional wild Phoenician sailor Egypt was the Mediterranean world’s main connection to sub-Saharan Africa so there were definitely Black people there. It just seems like the massive preponderance of evidence is on Cleopatra…

This makes it seem like Musk and Twitter are either third or fourth in order of blame. First is the criminal (of course), then the cops who made a typo on a warrant and took three weeks to figure it out. Next depends on how much you want to blame the parents. I think changing the WiFi password, making sure none of the…

Changing our top political priority from national defense to building and freely distributing custom fully functional waifu sexbots to the thirsty masses?

I was hoping for Danny DeVito.

You probably did read that, I believe the family claimed a Sicilian heritage and that’s about as Italian-Greek as you can get. And it's true on the paternal side. It's the maternal side that had an African ancestor.

Pretty sure you were going to say that dril and Elon should do a 24 hour tweet-a-thon, most likes gets the whole shebang! The hell with that ratio nonsense, I'm not doing math.

Roseanne Cash was given a DNA test on historian Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s show where doing so to celebrities is the theme and it turns out that she does have a significant amount of African ancestry and that it’s likely a maternal great-grandparent was Black.
