Animal cruelty is not something I want to minimize, but we eat so much meat raised and slaughtered under terrible conditions here in the US. Why are horses the exalted exceptional class? Because they are handsome? Because they are “athletes”?

Here’s the pun for those that need it: get off your high horses.

Most of the…

I am proud that the UVA basketball team declined the invitation to visit the WH, especially given POTUS’ ridiculous comments about Charlottesville during the white supremacist rally and ensuing violence and literal murder.  What an absolute chud.

By the time you’ve position the shirt on the board, you could’ve manually folded 2 shirts.

A friend of ours tuned in to his first ever episode of GoT for the talky one two weeks ago, and was just like “What is this bullshit?”.  If you have no history with those characters, that episode would make no sense whatsoever and be boring af.  

I’m so glad the commentariot isn’t familiar with how this scam works. While it definitely denotes a naivety I could only wish to possess, it suggests the world is a bit purer than I expect.

This is such a great analogy to Endgame. Just because it’s a movie doesn’t mean that it should make sense to everyone who hasn’t seen the preceding movies (or at least a few of them). I would never watch the series finale of a long running TV show and expect to fully understand even 25 percent of what is going on. I…

Lol. Have you ever wanted to eat a frozen pizza before it was frozen? Come to St. Louis!

Yeah, unless you are a soulless slumlord I never saw the upside on single-family home rental ownership. If you had enough scratch to buy or build multi-unit apartments I could maybe see it being more lucrative/worth you time. 

Never heard a media person say that someone like Roy Oswalt (from Mississippi) is too dumb to know the difference between numbers. Heard multiple media members say similar things about players from the Caribbean.

American exceptionalism at it’s finest. Curacao isn’t like the US in many regards and that’s good. 

There’s also this tendency for Americans to assume that if players or athletes aren’t getting max value of their contracts, or if they lose alot of money, that they screwed up somehow. It’s pretty infantalizing and smacks of, “I know how to run your life better than you.”

Okay. Little experiment for you then. Start telling people you’re taking a vacation to, maybe, Bogota, Colombia and count all the times people tell you to “be careful.” Bet it’ll be more than if you tell people you’re taking a trip to an SEC football game.

i think it’s pretty cool that someone’s going to reinvent cable and call it an innovation

Um, they had plenty to do. They had to set up tents and generators, guard their food from coyotes, guard their equipment from militias and thieves. You have to think really hard to come up with excuses so your commander lets you bring some of your guys into town so you can surreptitiously load up on booze. Some of…

Soldiers dying for nothing is far more offensive than them doing nothing. 

Anyone offended by the idea of US service-members sitting around doing nothing all day has never actually been in the military.

At this point I would be happy for people not being promoted to the highest levels of our society for doing it.

Truly. Who sits there and thinks, “This person is calling me a liar. What shall I do? Oh, I know, I’ll lie EVEN MORE. I’ll deliberately misinterpret what she say and bray about it incessantly. I will shut her down with an unceasing firehose of lies!”
