What does history have to do with it?

The fact that we had monarchs with actual power 200 years ago means nothing right now.  Right now, today, being someone’s daughter is not a qualification.

So basically this is a way less subtle Craig Biggio strategy.

Holy shit.

Take your star.

Meh.  They still won’t beat Houston, who is still tearing through the AL even without Altuve, Correa and Springer currently, and frankly the pitching doesn’t even compare.

“Now... it’s time for me to get off social media and get some work done. “

LOL.  This is so transparent you’re refracting light. 

“The fact that these teams have not faced off in a seven-game series makes these points open-ended enough that it’s not unreasonable to believe in the lie that the Warriors could actually lose this year.”

Yes it is. 100 percent.

There is no scenario that is reasonable to believe other than “The Warriors win. Again.”

The…

The Bradley Cooper bit is a red herring. Agents and SAG rules generally determine how someone is billed on posters and in credit sequences. Cooper is up there because SAG wouldn’t allow him not to be (voice acting is still acting).

This is not an either/or situation.  This is an omission, which is pretty interesting…

Probably the Immigration Act of 1882.  2 years off.

Freaking out over the starters all the time never makes sense to me when they reveal these things, because literally my starter is going to spend 2 hours, max, in its original form before evolving.

Show me the final form. That’s the key.

EA isn’t gonna send you a Christmas card for all that white knighting you’re doing.  Calm down.

“All the while they toil away with their high school educations”

So like, Bill Gates? 

“Look, I get that you’re mad about something, but voluntarily refusing to acknowledge that this is how a social system based on capitalistic values works is like being mad that your friend is winning at Monopoly because you couldn’t be bothered to buy anything on your first go-round the board.

Sounds like a white man with no skin in the game to me!

I think you’re missing the reasoning behind the praise.

It isn’t that Romo is a genius, it’s that *literally every other Football color commentator is straight up garbage* and Romo is the first one in forever that actually knows what he’s talking about.

Awesome. Can we extract Blizzard while we’re at it? No?

Damn.  Was worth a shot.

It’s almost awe-inspiring to realize that the Baby Boomers are basically going to destroy the planet and take the human race with them down the line, and they don’t care.

“I mean, every other gripe is of course just lazy Millennials wanting everything handed to them on a silver platter”

I’m going to assume this was facetious, because actually the Boomers are actively driving the income gap so far apart that within about 20 years there’s not going to be a middle class of any kind. 

Actually this is mostly because Millennials are largely the *children* of Boomers. Gen-Xers come from Silent Generation parents, on the whole.

So it’s more of a Child vs. Parent thing.

I mean, sorry, but on the whole the Boomers have been a net negative for humanity.

The income gap is wider than its ever been, we’re hurtling towards climate disaster while sticking our fingers in our ears and we still can’t manage to not be racist assholes.

Boomers have been in charge for 30 years and all of this is…

“It really didn’t work for TES though”

Except it did.

They were *always* going to have whiners but nothing even *approached* what this Blizzard backlash has been.

All it took was a title card to tamp the worst of it down.
