Taht first guy is the worst. If that scene happened in a movie, I would think, “Ok, yeah, I get it, geeze, don’t beat us over the head with it.” But I believe it happened in real life.

Yeah, I kind of thought he had a pretty stringent definition of friend as well. But I can relate. A lot of who I call “friends” might really be “buddies.” By his definition of “friend,” I might have zero friends, and I would be lying if I hadn’t thought of that before today.

“They say things, specific things, to prove they’re totally not racist (and they end up saying really dumb shit in the process).”

The Bears: I know this article isn’t really about the bears at all, but here goes. I think that a polar bear addition is a bigger deal than brown and black bears. The author did say that the zoo already had BB bears, and was now adding a polar bear. Polar bears are more exotic, despite them living in the US state of…

Do you think that Asian Americans (or immigrants) are more likely to be more woke than white Americans? I can see arguments on both sides. I think that Asian Americans are often very unfairly perceived to be honorary whites who receive no discrimination. I also think that many Asian Americans are perpetuating that…

I do not follow soccer, but I was also skeptical of that statement. It seems as if Son is a great player, and if he has 7 goals and an assist in his last 4 games, that seems like it is really good, right? Might that actually represent a new level of play for Son?

If a married couple have an understanding that each person can flirt with random people but it ends there, that can be fine WITH THEM. But I think that the “random people” have a perfect right to have an opinion on the way these married people are treating them.

Where does it say “impromptu”? In the Void article? Sure, I am sure there are a lot of tidbits there that are not in the deadspin article.

I am following the NBA more this season than in the past. I really don’t like the biased officiating, as in the superstars get more favorable calls from the refs.

Are those comments in the Void article? Fine, but I am 100% not sorry for not clicking on the link. And the author doesn’t follow sports? Tough shit! You’re interviewing a pro athlete, be prepared. And it is off the cuff? Also tough shit? If you truly don’t know where he went to college, don’t ask him, and even if you…

Fine, Zac Efron. If you’re interviewing Zac Efron, don’t ask him, “So, you’re an actor eh? Have you ever won an Academy Award?” If that happens, even on live tv, I think that Efron would be totally justified in saying, “Dude, give a crap!” And just walk away.

Yeah, I didn’t read that part. Where is it? Is it in the Void article? Yeah, I didn’t click on that, and I am not going to and I don’t feel dumb at all.

If you’re straight up interviewing a professional football player, you need to know where he went to college. And if you somehow don’t know, don’t ask outright. And if you do, just don’t include it in the final writeup of your interview for Void.

I really wonder what the thinking is behind that title? Why not go with “Vague” or “Bandage”?

Sure, but I can’t fucking believe the interviewer asked, “Where did you go to college?” Bortles took that in stride.

The wine woman is far too beautiful to ever be considered creepy. It is similar to how a linebacker can play 10 years in the NFL and never fumble because he will so rarely ever even touch the ball.

Is flirting a form of cheating? Maybe, it depends, for all of the reasons Monique detailed here.

Here is the link to my 1983 quotation: http://www.blackhistorycanada.ca/events.php?themeid=7&id=9

I just looked this up. I knew that Nova Scotia is the historic heart of black Canada. I didn’t realize that schools were segregated in Canada until as late as 1983 in Nova Scotia.

I love that 1980's Cold War is becoming such a popular time period: The Americans, Atomic Blonde, Wonder Woman 2.
