While I agree with you on the ideal of single-payer healthcare coverage for all and an end to mass incarceration, realistically public healthcare funds are limited and overstretched. It is a zero sum game because there simply aren’t enough funds allocated to treat everyone that needs treatment. Essentially this means…

Personally I feel that healthcare for people with debilitating and life-threatening injuries should be a priority before the government covers the costs of sex reassignment surgery. While I do believe sex reassignment surgery is necessary I just believe cancer treatment, artery bypass and spinal surgeries are more…

The GOP ideal is to have LARGE SONS. It’s the only reason Mike Huckabee was invited to the 9pm debate last night. We think that child is around 9-10 years old because we’re accustomed to normal sized children but to the GOP base that child is only FOUR YEARS OLD.

Being written up for unprofessional conduct could encompass anything from chewing bubble gum while in uniform to being drunk and making lewd comments to a Girl Scout.

The larger issue is, I think, that police wield a huge amount of power and must show at all times that they can be entrusted with that power. He’s only given that power by the government established BY and FOR the people, in other words, every single US citizen. This officer usurped that power to serve his own ends…

Rationally, I know the Mets should do what’s best for the team and that players should take care of themselves first (because the team won’t). But irrationally it’s nice to see the ridiculously rich ballplayers I enjoy watching share the same affection for the team that I have. And let’s face it, I’m still a Mets fan…

I think the bigger issue is that if they were going to charge the charity that much money the charity would be better off finding cheaper office space. I mean it’s Missouri for fuck’s sake, you can probably get 10,000 sq. ft. for like $500/mo.

I get the frustration with Eli Manning. If he always sucked people wouldn’t complain nearly as much. But Giants fans know he can play well enough to win Super Bowls—he just can’t consistently play at that level. It’s the fact that there’s always hope but it’s constantly being crushed.

But he’s wrong. Physicists who understand quantum field theory (QFT) have torn apart his hypothesis. Homeopathy has never been shown to be more effective than placebos in double-blind studies—it’s not noble if sick people are paying for homeopathic cures which won’t help them, it’s fraud.

However, on the other hand you literally have nobel prize winning scientists speaking out against vaccines.

Edit: n/m TrotsHat beat me to it about the Bucs.

Post-WWII Chicago embraced the New Yorker’s insult “Second City” and wore it with pride. Only now it’s at best “Third City” and embracing the insulting term “Second City” seems aspirational.

Jacksonville is pretty much all of Duval county, aside from a couple beach towns. If you go strictly by city limits it may be the largest in Florida but the Miami metro area has like 5 million people to Jacksonville’s 1 million.

Even if EA approached every player individually they still couldn’t accept compensation for the use of their likeness without violating NCAA student-athlete rules.

Don’t forget testicles. They self regulate their temperature by hanging lower or higher so when you’re hot it’s like carrying around two plums in a flesh tube sock between your legs. They stick to your leg and god help you if you accidentally sit on them. Also sometimes pubic hair gets caught in your foreskin (or even…

Someone really has to re-explain Title IX to these guys.

Especially in a sport that’s about driving your car sideways.

I was terrified underneath the hood was just going to be a bunch of teeth.

It’s not like it’s ever backfired before. (Skip to 5:20 mark)

I love American Pharoah, but we will all be in the cold hard ground before we see the likes of Secretariat again.
