One of the benefits of Suicide Squad’s setup, and revolving door cast of characters, is that it lends itself quite easily to reboots without having to necessarily reset the entire universe. I have a feeling Gunn could probably find a fun way to work with that framework.

I concur with this analysis. It’s not a small feat to accomplish what Tottenham has over the past 4 years. The Premier League has only gotten more competitive over that time, and the spending at the top of the table has gotten more lavish. That Tottenham are consistently among the top teams in performance while not…

He is, in fact, white. The thing was, with enough blankets, I was fine, and our room was heated mostly by our computers, which was sufficient. It never really became a thing because we pretty much turned it into a running joke.

I went to college in Spokane, Washington after growing up in the greater Seattle area, so my general idea of “cold” was anything lower than 40 degrees. One year, I roomed with a guy from Fairbanks, Alaska. The dude always kept the window open, no matter how cold it got. A common refrain was “20 degrees? You call this…

There, now it complies with the Deadspin style guide.

Seems like a classic case of sealioning.

I think it’s fair to recognize MLS for where it lives in the world soccer developmental pyramid: at its best, it’s giving young players a place to build skills, and the brightest of those talents can then potentially ply their trade in bigger leagues overseas. And all of this is okay. Success in MLS in no way…

I remember discovering that my dad kept a shotgun in a locked locker in a locked crawlspace under our coat closet, and the only reason he had it was because his father gave it to him, and he didn’t know a better way to get rid of it. I discovered it, not because I went into said crawlspace, but because Dad brought it…

I’m reminded of a quote from the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications in their word use section:

It also proves to be safer for the cashiers, as they can’t be held up while transferring cash from the till to the lockbox.

Remember when Henry led a revolt against Raymond Domenech at the 2010 World Cup? There’s some irony here.

I know it’s silly to ask this, but all I’d like is a little consistency in the DS Style Guide.

Out of curiosity, why is it that Tottenham’s Lucas Moura is “confirmed fascist Lucas Moura,” while Neymar is still just “Neymar,” even though they both supported Bolsonaro?

I think it’s also worth pointing out that people have different understandings of what constitutes a spoiler. For instance, I used to work with a guy who considered comments like, “I think you’ll really like it” or “I enjoyed [lead actor/actress]’s performance” as spoilers. This is objectively insane, and…

I loved Jake’s response there.

I don’t give a hoot who knows how much I’m loving the hoot-use.

Yeah, there is a special place in hell for people who put fish in a communal microwave...or even a non-communal microwave, for that matter. The stench wafts.

I think part of the problem is that the term “GMO” is so general that it covers just about everything from benign modifications to change color to more far-reaching modifications like pest-resistance. To say that something is genetically modified tells you nothing about its actual environmental impact, one way or the…

Also, if someone says they are treating, I let them order first, and then use their choice as the absolute ceiling for what I will order for myself.

Yeah, that makes sense. My rule is never to propose a restaurant location where you aren’t prepared to pick up the full tab. That said, it’s always okay to say up front if there are certain things you are not able to afford. Like, I do okay for myself, but I’m not able to routinely afford a $90 bottle of wine or…
