Loud pipes save lives is bullshit. The reality is loud pipes make you an asshole. You’re an asshole to quiet neighborhoods, to quiet country living, to others in traffic, loud pipes simply make you an asshole, it won’t save your life, or others.

There aren’t going to be any wheels of justice turning, because she’s chosen to file a civil suit instead of involving the police. Unless one’s definition of justice is a months-long protacted negotiation between two sets of very well-paid lawyers discussing what amount between $1M and $2M of Antonio Brown’s money…

I struggle to balance “he’s a shit person”, with “he’s an employee who has not been convicted of anything.” The second is objectively true, and the first is subjectively true. Why shouldn’t he be allowed to work while the wheels of allegation and investigation and hopefully justice continue to turn? 

Yeah, this is one of those situations where a lot of us who say we want reform in the bail system have to give ourselves a gut check. This is what happens if you have a system that basically relies on those two questions—whether someone is a danger and whether they’re a flight risk—when determining bail. I can’t say…

I am a big fan of Title IX, but it does seemingly little to address the inequality of JV teams. The hand me down warm ups, the old ass pads and helmets, no physio trainers, the coach is also the Driver ED instructor...

And the people dying in the simile’s hospice are responsible for those outstanding parking tickets, and should, in theory, be held responsible for not yet paying them. But theory and reality don’t always line up, and sometimes unpaid parking tickets get de-prioritized in the face of stuff like impending death.

Inglewood’s problem is not that it’s administration isn’t “budgeting appropriately”. It’s that it doesn’t have a strong enough tax base to robustly fund even basic schooling, let alone an athletic program.

Yeah I don’t know what part of the article Kelsey was reading there. Slapping Title IX violations on Inglewood seems like trying to go into a hospice center to collect on the patients’ outstanding parking tickets.

A girl who sees—for example—that her softball field is never mowed and the dirt is full of rocks while the boys baseball field is kept in immaculate condition is seeing a lack of compliance with Title IX

This is why I ref 10 and under at my local Y. Ejections. Nothing, absolutely nothing, feels like ejecting the little punk when he looks at you wrong. Raise an eyebrow, you’re gone son. Dad screaming bloody murder from the sideline, take a walk kid. Someone has got to teach these kids a lesson. Sometimes life is cruel,…

Having never been touched like that by a woman before, it was all he could do to prematurely eject her.

Being a mom is a job, yes. But it doesn’t make you qualified for a paid position as a press secretary, nor does it set you apart from anyone.

It’s not just her, though.
The Right and the GOP are totally fine with shouting “But I’m a mom!!” while reducing funding for programs that help parents and children.

Women attack her relentlessly because she’s a bigoted, racist, anti-feminist, anti-American, anti-journalism partisan hack who shouldn’t have ever held the position of WH press secretary. As you said, she can go fuck herself.

I’m sick of her throwing “being a mom” out there like it’s a job qualification.

This probably makes me sound like a horrible feminist, but I really don’t give a flying fart that you had kids and also worked, considering you have enough money to pay for good childcare and health insurance without having to worry about paying your rent.  I’m sick of her throwing “being a mom” out there like it’s a…

It appears the prosecution got wrapped up in the sensationalism, and didn’t do their due diligence. Or the source reporting didn’t.

As for why they would assume that she killed the child, this wouldn’t be the first pregnancy concealed by a teen who then “disposed” of a live baby. A sad and terrible effect of the…

“In an email exchange with a forensic pathologist, Dr. Elizabeth Murray wrote that ‘whether the bones were burned or not, that baby was still dead, had unexplained skull fractures, and was buried the backyard. I don’t understand why the burning takes it up such a notch.’”

I’m wondering why there’s a lack of focus on…

Agreed that the limit is more artificial than practical.  That recognition doesn’t change the limitation.  The Chargers have limited resources to spend and Gordon offers a relatively common skillset.  He has little leverage and his best hope is for a trade.

Sure, it may be “right” to pay Gordon, but I don’t know that it’s actually smart. Running backs break down, and there are very few who can’t be replaced with 90% of the production at 20% or less of the cost.
