I live off the land in Central Park. Totally off the grid. I forage mostly, sometimes I have to slaughter a duck or a pigeon, but am beholden to no corporate entity. 

Except without the scorn necessary when discussing such a stupid rule.

sometimes is also an increased standard of living for the working class even as the population grows.

But they have disenfranchised the working class. The average worker, with the aid of machines, is exponentially more productive than they were in previous decades, yet their earning power has not improved. The benefits of all that increased productivity has been hoarded by the ownership class.

the gargantuan, monopolistic, oppressive national crisis called Amazon.

It’s Existential Crisis Day in Kinjaland today. All the sites under the G/O Media umbrella are running “Boycott Amazon” posts alternating with “Kinja Deals Prime Day Specials.”

Every day I hate Pelosi more and more.  I hope all the centrists are happy with Madam Republican-Lite dragging the party into irrelevance.  She’s doing everything possible to piss away our taking of the House.

Some of you are here to make a beautiful pâté but we’re making sausage most of the time.

“THIS WAS A UNIFYING SPEECH, EVERYONE LOVED IT, PELOSI IS GREAT AND NO ONE IS SCREAMING INTO THE VOID EVERY MORNING. She TOTALLY didn’t mean anyone specific when she called out four people specifically. THE SYSTEM IS WORKING.”

maybe not wholly, but if you think you might be beat, and don’t have the accuracy or strength to get it home in time you could take a flyer. Its like the pass in Football that you know the receiver won’t catch, but the defender has been a little physical, so you throw it hoping for a pass interference, or the bad shot…

Exactly, the Catcher just has to protect himself in that situation as he is the only one who knows where the runner and the ball are. Marisnik can’t know where the ball is, and when Lucroy moves off the plate he’s go not options.

Where is Lucroy going at that moment?

But this means that the fielding team can throw a ball up the baseline intentionally, causing the catcher to move up to field it, given the runner no time to slide or avoid contact, and given the runner no idea where the ball or catcher will be headed to make the play.

In the case of a head first slide, a runner shall be deemed to have slid appropriately if his body should hit the ground before contact with the catcher.

He threw up his hands to avoid head on head contact and probably save the catcher’s life.

Perhaps he noticed a black cat nearby?

Maybe that’ll be the spin he tries to put on it.

Okay, if that’s what meant, that’s totally fair.

So, once again, the result of the people who voted 3rd party or stayed home in protest in 2016, is a SCOTUS decision that destroys a fundamental tenant of democracy for decades to come.

I mean...that seems like an acceptable mistake for a non-native speaker (if the rest of what he said was correct). It’s not like dude’s real name is Beto.
