Yeah, the down-ticket is what influences the top of the ticket (because the down-ticket lets the party know what can win and what can’t). Louisiana has a Democratic governor right now because they picked a centrist. Socialists can’t get elected to dog-catcher anywhere but Seattle and Burlington.

“in a sad corner of the country where the stagnation of the gene pool will lead to sterility-inducing inbreeding within a generation or two.”

For point 2) this is especially true for people like Hannity that don’t even hide their partisanship. He frequently interrupts Trump during interviews to put words into Trump’s mouth, and then cuts him off from adding further.

It could very well be unfixable on Sony’s end. I mean, there’s arguably no good reason that they can’t let you change your gamertag on PSN, and I think it’s clear from their bad answers on this that the error is likely due to your gamertag itself being locked to your account.

Woah woah, puns are the highest form of comedy.

“It is in fact NOT his job to poke holes in other models”

The presence of new information is why we don’t let you make the rules, man. We know a lot more about concussions, and we’re trying to avoid the future where Hall of Famers have to be inducted either post-mortem or in the mornings (to avoid the evening memory loss).

This is a more poorly written version of “Don’t complain, kids in Africa are hungry.”

Do you need a conservative safe space?

Lol, you really bought that dog whistle, huh? When my dad says he’s ready to kick out the wetbacks, he doesn’t really mean “illegal immigrants” bud.

The President of the US has literally zero checks on using nuclear weapons, and also doesn’t have to even answer “yes or no” if they go to war for months. Trump could literally invade China on his first day in office, and he’s not even legally obligated to answer the question, “Did you just start a war?” until like…

Same for me, but with booze. I really couldn’t tell you how many times I (as a child) must’ve been in the car with my dad when he was lit.

You know what NFL stands for? Not For Long if you keep commenting on Deadspin like that.

Sure, that’s true.

I said it doesn’t always hold up, not that failing to hold up is a certainty. It’s definitely true that some genres or gameplay features from the past have been left behind. TLG could very well fall into that category.

You got me there. But that doesn’t exactly bode well.

People better be prepared for this to turn out bad. Thing’s been hyped for longer than I’ve seen a game get talked about, and it’s core design is coming from 2009. That doesn’t always hold up well.

Should still be true. And yeah, if you score 3 times and hit all of the 2PCs, then you insulate yourself from a game-winning kick. If you miss all three, you still have to give up three touchdowns to lose that lead (since 2TDs+1FG is still less than 18).

Scorpio isn’t being billed as the next Xbox at all.

“I don’t know how much you know about Japanese culture (I’m an expert)...” meme, basically.
