Piana is a legitimately fascinating character - he was one of our era’s circus freaks making his entire life public on social media. The steroid cycles he published were insane and signified something much deeper than a desire to be a great bodybuilder.

How does “not expressing disapproval” equal idolizing?

Rich Piana was a grown-ass man and his steroid use hurt no one else so I, for one, see no reason for disapproval. He was also a Rob Liefeld-drawn douchebag come to life, so I see no reason for idolization.

Definitely super easy for someone who recently went completely broke to just move for a better commute. Not like someone in that position might be living with family or in a cheap rented room, nope.

White Michigan musician counterpoints: Iggy, the MC5, early Bob Seger are all brilliant. Jack White looks like a Tim Burton character but opening up a new vinyl pressing plant in Detroit is pretty cool.

The Nuge’s racism and pedophilia and Kid Rock’s Kid Rockiness shouldn’t outweigh those.

American politics breaks down along much the same lines as Europe - 20% neo-fascist/far-right, 30% center-right, 30% center-left, 20% social democratic/socialist. (The percentages shift but moreso what each position means shifts and the percentages stay the same.)

It always has, but the 20% has been obscured because…

They’re ‘cheap’ ‘performance’ cars - it’s Doug DeMuro’s third owner theory, but in this case they’re often affordable enough for the stupid and hormonal to be second owners.

Meanwhile, your average Saints fan is a trash-ass 300-lb. mouthbreather carrying a baby upside down, and vowing to personally rebuild every Confederate monument, and never, at any time, speaking below a shout.

I don’t believe in god or the supernatural, yet I maintain an absolute belief that if I abused a family member the ghosts of my (wonderful, loving) grandfathers would appear and beat the everloving shit out of me.

Spring of senior year of high school, I paid the last five months of my mom’s ‘97 626 lease - it was a stupid investment but my “car” was a 200k mile ‘87 F-150 with no heat, no air and no radio because someone broke in through the wing window in the HS parking lot to steal the CD player I had installed.

Compared to my…

I never want to be an atheist asshole but then an evangelical’s defense of this sentient cumstain is his testimony and being a MANACHRIST O LORD and I turn into Varg Vikernes (minus the white supremacy).

I get nitro canned Cuvee and Stumptown - both are pretty good. Straight black, no extra garbage to hide beans roasted until they have the flavor of my grandma’s ashtray.

He’s going to be a huge asshole for a bit adapting to a new healthy diet.

I get it, I occasionally feel bad for my mom’s indoor cats... but at the same time, the oldest is 19 and the next two are 13. All completely healthy (if senile with the 19-year old) and still happy and mobile. They’ve cost nothing in vet bills since they were adopted beyond one’s allergies that required liquid…

I liked the one recruit from Louisville who said the escorts were a turn-off that lead to him signing elsewhere. All I could think was “that’s a seriously terrible blowjob.”

No voter gives a shit what the DNC platform says, particularly when parts of it run counter to the candidate’s history and stated positions.

Tyson’s “I’ll fuck you til you love me... faggot” is reprehensible (kinda like Tyson who everyone has forgotten is a rapist) but also amazing because it’s palpably scary 20 years later on video. It’s up there with “Hit ‘Em Up” in uncomfortable this-just-got-too-real territory.

Possibly an urban legend but I heard about a woman at a weightlifting meet in the US who popped for steroids and tried to claim that it was because her boyfriend took steroids and oral sex lead to her positive test.

That’s either an inventive lie or a very dedicated girlfriend, if true.

Um... SA is less than 10% white.

So, yes, we shouldn’t all become The Punisher and engage in killing sprees - but what evidence is there that this “is a mental health issue”?

The mother gave birth to a child with needs and couldn’t handle it - so maybe you can call a spiral into not doing anything some kind of depression, but within five years you…

You can thank the NHL owners for that, as I recall.
