Yeah, a lot of times runners will even specifically choose safer routes or “more fun to watch” run categories for a given game in order to compensate for the fact that they’re performing marathon runs that have to be “perfect” all the way through, whereas they’d be able to do their runs in segments when going for…

Every Democrat over the age of 35 is going to throw their hat in the ring this time, aren’t they? We’ll have 15 million candidates by this time next year. The debates will be televised 24/7 for the next 300 years. I’m exhausted already.

Centrists don’t believe that Democrats should have to make that appeal. They think it should always be good enough to be marginally better than the opponent.

The primary is where we choose the progressive to push out the centrist asshats. So if that’s what we want, the primary is where we make that happen. Just so long as we line up behind the Democrat that makes it...

As would I, but mostly so they could use the Clash’s “Spanish Bombs” as their campaign music.

I think the reason why people bitch about the Type R is because they want a small, fast car, but don’t want to have to look like they’re grasping futilely for “youthful vitality” as a trade-off. That doesn’t seem like such a tall order to me. Give me speed that doesn’t make me look like a fucking tool.

They like Chick-Fil-A because it makes them feel like they’re dipping into an authentic southern culinary institution, even though everyone in the south knows it’s just trashy, low-grade fast food.

I don’t understand why you guys report on Chick-Fil-A like it’s some sort of culinary revelation. Everyone in the South knows it’s just trashy, ordinary fast food. Up North, it really does seem to have this exotic, hipster allure, like you’re dipping into some sort of “authentic” redneck culture by pretending to enjoy…

Good.

I mean, if you’re giving people enough PTO, I don’t see why that would be the case. For example, at my company, I can earn ~23 days of PTO in my first year (the amount goes up with years of experience). That’s like 5.5 weeks of paid leave in a year. I can’t imagine having lofty enough vacation goals to feel like I…

“Sick days” are exploitative nonsense.

I do not abuse sick time ever and so when I do call in sick my boss knows I am really sick. That is how the system is supposed to work but when people call in sick like it’s a vacation day then it becomes an issue.

I get enough to take vacations and have normal leave, just shy of 5 weeks every year. Every conversation I have had with someone with split leave involves how they’ve had to use creative explanations to use their entire sick balance before it expires.

This is a video game.

But it’s somehow far more frustrating when you hear that shit from people who are ostensibly “on our side.” You know, any time you mention an overwhelmingly popular idea like Medicare For All, and all the centrist assholes can say is that we’re not ready for it yet.

She would have run by now if she had any presidential ambitions.

The GOP is terrified of this woman. She threatens everything they’ve built in the past 50 years.

This is dumb. It has nothing to do with age. It has to do with policy preferences. This pervasive idea that we can condition our politicians to prioritize certain sets of values just by picking them based on gender, ethnicity, age, and other identity attributes, is totally disgusting.

Noam Chomsky once clarified that he never counseled “speak truth to power.” Those in power know the truth. Quite simply, they are deliberately manipulating facts in order to sow confusion and disarray among the rest of the population.

I love that she has the guts to clap back at these blowhards but is doing it in a way that is not calling them liars, sexists or alarmists, but by basically calling them idiots and making them prove their knowledge.
