I took that as either a Jedi Mind Trick or doing to Dana what Dana has done to so many fighters. Dana routinely announces fights that fighters haven’t agreed to and even claims fighters refused fights they weren’t even offered. Even though it was unlikely to get McGregor back on the card, it was good to see Dana White…

“But if I were him, I dunno that I’d be that upset, sitting there, free from risk of injury (or inevitability of injury), while watching my career earnings inch past $100 million.” I AGREE. With that out of the way can we talk about the QB this story is REALLY about? I’m speaking of Kapernick, of course. He wants out…

Yes, shaming them is one approach. I think as fathers, uncles, brothers, friends and others who hold some semblance of influence over other males, we also have to start early and be very thoughtful about how we wield our influence. I’m father to girls and a son. I’m often shocked by some of the sexist things he says…

I have been. Loud heated conversations with normally rational guys where I’m one of a few arguing that “yes, there’s a *IS* a barely calculable chance that 50 some women are lying about having been raped by Cosby, but COME ON!!!!" Discussing Payton Mannings misogynistic, sexual assaulting, jerkish behavior had a…

...”It means the pool of legitimately qualified candidates is disproportionately white and male...” There is so much more to it than that, but let’s focus on the question of legitimate qualifications. Because I mentioned Supreme Court Justice nominees earlier as an example let’s stick to that example. For some who…

**Slow Clap** G’DAMN! Beautifully said...

I won’t presume to know your innermost thoughts or motivations, cause obviously I don’t. I’ll just make a point that I’ve made many times irl when talking about things like supreme court nominations and such: the difference between the top ranked person in a field and the hundredth is negligible. I’d go so far as to…

WHAT.THE.FUCKING.FUCK? I understand hyperbole, and even trolling, but how can someone not understand how far over the line all these tweets are? Have we really fallen so far as a society? Is the allure of causing obvious pain without any fear of repercussions really so strong?

Can we hope this means the earlier stories of a pending autopsy are false? I hope there was no foul play involved (is there any reason to suspect that?) My voyeuristic desire to know why he died is overridden by my desire to keep my memory of the Purple One as pristine as possible.

We all know Jon Snow (who knows nothing) will be back. Most of us assume reincarnation or warging into his direworf, but this scene reveals another possibility. In the books Mance the leader of the wildlings isn’t actually burned at the stake as he was on the show last season. Ol Millie uses a previously unseen power…

What would you suggest to remedy McGregors assertion that one small contractual obligation prevents him from fulfilling his greater contractual obligation, which is reporting to the octagon on fight night the absolute best fighter than he can be? He claims he offered to defer PR obligations and the UFC refused. Should…

Nah. Sexism aside, I think his post was on point. I can’t stand him because of the racism, xenophobia, and more that he spits ad nauseam, BUT he is right here. His job is to come to the octagon the absolute best fighter that he can be on fight night. These numerous PR obligations obviously interfere with that. Isn’t…

Wait.... this was A WINE TRAIN?!?!?!?!?!? This was a train specifically for people touring wineries and drinking wine? Why in the fuck WOULDN’T you expect groups of people to be louder than normal, giddy, even possibly obnoxious? People who were there state that another group behaving in exactly the same way, wasn’t…

I agree with your larger point of poverty and presumably lack of access being a crucial factor here, but I disagree with the idea that racism isn’t a part of it. Institutional racism is totally a contributor to poverty in minority communities. Minorities were largely excluded from the middle class as recently as the…

You haven’t mentioned any non traditional recruiting you may have done, so I’ll suggest that you try this. My experience has been that traditional recruitment involves job fairs at or sponsored by the biggest, most prestigious schools, tech haven cities and neighborhoods; and lots and lots of recommendations from…

Sorry, BMI is completely useless. When everyone except those of a certain body type are considered overweight or obese, then these aren’t outliers. The metric is fatally flawed...
