The day I axed Magic organized play from my shop was a beautiful one. Cardfight Vanguard and Yugioh players are worse in some ways but Magic is by far the most toxic group I’ve encountered. Foulmouthed, horrible attitude, won’t buy anything unless you’re willing to beat the lowest online price, won’t even buy snacks…

Of course the excesses of the 60s and 70s rock icons have to be reconciled against some really awesome music. I think most LA Hair metal from the 80s can safely be discarded with no damage to culture.

(At least) one signer is a trust fund kid, shocking that they identify with the capital class over workers. 

mandated split of revenues between players/owners that they want.

Netflix series are the definition of “it was fine.” Rarely offensively bad, almost never worth caring about - barely worth paying attention to. The Order made fine background noise recently while I worked.

Something like the Magicians has so much more spirit, even when it’s not very good, than anything I’ve seen from…

Everyone’s forgotten that one of the main team was credibly accused of sexual assault, I guess?

re: the Chili Peppers, it would be more understandable if this came out a few months before Californication instead of after. A few years after the Dave Navarro album with nothing new out, I can see thinking they were going to decline in popularity over time - but Californication was a big hit from the start and…

I agree that social democrat is a more accurate description of AOC (and Bernie), but the language is all over the place and always has been. A number of “social democratic” parties in Europe (such as the German SPD) were founded as Marxist parties (under the social democratic banner) and there are contemporary big-s…

Exposure to their fanboys on Twitter is enough for me to have a seething hatred.

Good call ditching that baseball career.

Isn’t there some kind of bonus danger to a nuclear exchange because of the altitude? Something about fucking up the ozone layer.

Hughes detailed what an enormous piece of shit he is in his biography.

Lightly following baseball and ignoring all other American leagues until playoff time is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I don’t give a fuck about week 6 of the NFL or January basketball.

I’m going to put them out of business with tugmaps.com for half the price. Suck it, rubmaps!

Not even going back to the 19th century, if you look at the civil rights era, the issue was regional - southern Republicans were firmly anti-civil rights, there just weren’t many of them yet. Outside of the south, Republicans were more likely to vote against civil rights than Democrats were.

You didn’t factor in that people who call bullshit on college athletes’ unpaid labor also generally call bullshit on the 1-and-done rule. If Zion chose to play for free/$50k/whatever at Duke rather than enter the draft then the situation would be different. He wasn’t allowed to make that decision, though.

That’s adorable. If teams could pay players zero dollars they’d still charge you $10 for a Bud Light.

It’s billionaires vs millionaires.

I probably couldn’t run a club worse than Mike Piazza and his wife.

30 Rock and It’s Always Sunny had a baby and that baby was a sociopath. 

What will guys who can’t take viagra because of a heart condition do without golf?
