Inside the ropes, he’s also quite possibly the greatest boxer who has ever lived. The point of the sport is to hit—which he can seemingly do at will—and not get hit. Power is a nice, flashy way to achieve those ends, but agility and tactical superiority also work.

This, exactly; I mean, I hate this character design for Joker, but Leto might be able to pull it off. But if this is what Joker looks like, I can’t imagine what they’re going to do to Harley Quinn, who’s been ridiculously over-sexualized in the last several years already.

More worrying to me, is what they’re going to do to Harley Quinn. If this is their Joker... well, Quinn’s a character who’s been increasingly, grossly over-sexualized over the years already. So, I’m afraid they’ll turn Harley Quinn into a Suicide Girl-meets-Sucker Punch character, which misses the point so much that…

I haven't watched the episodes in question (but have read the books) and I think what's different with Ramsey in this season is that, with Roose back in the castle, he will be under Roose's more-or-less direct supervision. My guess is that Roose is going to be keeping a tight eye on Ramsey w/r/t Sansa, and Ramsey will…

Yeah, I mean, I take the author’s point - PacMan’s kind of a douchebag and a hypocrite - but, objectively, Floyd Mayweather is a much more terrible person than Manny Pacquiao.

Ah, so I see you spent lots of time reading and absorbing the points the author made in the article. Excellent reading comprehension, nature boy.

Mid-sized telecom. It's even worse, because it's like everything he outlines above, without any pampering of employees.

As someone else who has spent years of my life withering away in a corporate tech environment, I assure you, this is very, very accurate.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I hate Mayweather with the fire of a thousands suns, and would like nothing better for him never to get a dime from me, but I've been wanting to watch this fight for years, and I'll be damned if common sense, ethics, logic or reason are going to get in the way of my watching it.

What's a Drexl?

It's been a long time (15+ years) since I worked in a straight-up restaurant, but I worked in bars for a couple years after that, and the fetishization of beer - especially, people's responses when you have to change up taps, which usually occurs because it gets too expensive, or because the distributor no longer…

My wife's in the same boat, with pretty much the same results. Every time she veers from the path, she seriously regrets it for a day or two.

See also: bell pepper allergy. True (long) story; my wife and I went to a local Irish pub a few years back and ordered the crab cakes, because it was the first time we had seen them without bell pepper in the ingredients (yes, they can be and are made without bell pepper). She asked, when we ordered them, "Hey, do…

Personally, I've been dabbling in the programming side of things in order to more effectively coordinate and work with my developer partner. I'm on the design side, and while I can definitely put together a HTML/CSS/JS front-end, I get a little lost when I'm trying to piece that together with a functional web app. I'm…

I know this was months ago, but... I seem to remember reading (might've been in Joyce Carol Oates' On Boxing) that D'Amato made Tyson go something like an entire year without throwing a single punch in sparring - defense only.

It's a contradiction, and it's illogical, but there are a lot of people out there who are a lot more heavily tattooed that Pacquiao who are deathly afraid of needles (and, for the record, Pac's nowhere near heavily tattooed. Alvarado is heavily tattooed). An old roommate and bandmate of mine had a paralyzing fear of…

For the last time; the bulk of the criticism you are receiving is because you are advocating for the murder of US citizens, in a US city, for petty thievery. You are advocating that what they deserve, for a crime, that, in a lot of cases might get five years in prison, is death. It's not like I made that up; that's…

Soldiers [like me] don't bring justice, they bring war crimes.

What the fuck are you on about? You were advocating for shooting looters with televisions during Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

Okay, with that video, I know you're just trolling me, but I'm going to point out a huge, glaring, hypocrisy you've just helpfully acknowledged, and, true to your statement, it won't be short. This:
