The crunch article is really terrible. “Sure crunch is terrible and unnecessary, but I’m damaged enough to enjoy it, therefore it’s okay for everyone to have to endure it, because we’re all soooooo creative, so ultimately they’ll remember how they love working 20 hour days to make my vision come to life.”

I can’t conceive of how anyone who has heard of Cleveland and watches basketball would look at the Cavs and their ownership/front office and think “Yes, LeBron is the problem here.”

It’s almost like James is the best player in basketball, and teams that include him are good, and when he isn’t on them anymore they aren’t as good.

From that angle it looks like someone sawed the back third off an Odyssey and slapped a bed on there.

Yeah, let me know when the moral high ground and the maintenance of order start winning major civil rights victories.

James Butler pioneered the argument that slaves were “contraband” of war and therefore would not be returned. When a Southern officer requested their return under the Fugitive Slave laws, Butler told him that if the CSA wished to be regarded as an independent nation, then they could hardly appeal to the laws of the…

We actually do know that Lee would condone the actions of the KKK, because as president of what would become Washington and Lee, he did. Students routinely attacked freed black communities in the area and Lee did nothing. When Lee’s soldiers massacred free black soldiers, or took enslaved freed black men who they…

Wait, shit, was that this past weekend? Fuck, my commissar is gonna be so pissed, I was supposed to bring the manifestos and orange slices

“Bottom rail on top this time...”

If the decision in Dredd Scott was inevitable, why were their two dissenting justices? I agree that the court’s racism made the decision a practical inevitability, but that doesn’t make it a legal or ethical one. The central argument of the decision boils down to “Black people can’t be citizens, if they were, how did…

He’ll come out of the coma, blade, then Arn Anderson will hit death with a bedpan in full view of the ref, DQ loss. Fucked finish, but Flair retains.

I don’t know that I care too much about what Valve does with regard to development, because it seems apparent that the follow ups I’d like to see (mostly just more Portal at this point) aren’t in the cards (pun unintended). But if what Valve wants is to run Steam and make sell micro transactions (yay for another CCG,…

Those who see the appeal of a flat tax are basically children. Children do not understand that there is a difference between being “fair” and being “just”. In a just world, such people would be prevented from making decisions about public policy, but the universe is tragically fair.

How concerned should he be about his “legacy”? I mean, would his “legacy” be impoverished by leaving Cleveland and winning a couple of rings elsewhere? Anyone who cares enough about to try to analyze the differences between Lebron’s rings and Jordan’s would know that those Bulls teams were hardly scrappy underdogs.

Hey now, what did open floor plans ever do to you? I like feeling like my home isn’t just a discrete set of tiny boxes linked together by bulkheads, is that so wrong?

My actual issue with Legendaries in competitive Pokemon is that they are really hard to catch yourself if you want optimal IVs. Anything making that process easier would be nice.

I would argue that, in an ideal world, universities wouldn’t be in the business of generating revenue through sports (or really generating revenue at all). Sending pro athlete hopefuls to college, and making glorified intramural players try to keep up with pro hopefuls, is a shitty system for both sides.

Holy fucking Christ that’s terrifying.

I’d like to note the irony of a Tom Clancy game whose plot hook is directly lifted from Clear and Present Danger that somehow fails to appreciate that the reprisal operation in that book/movie is a terrible thing that the protagonist is trying to prevent, rather than an awesome opportunity to slaughter one’s way…

Seriously, it really is. I never though I would feel this kind of rage about our government.
