The problem with pandering to Long Island voters, even imaginary ones, is that Long Island voters are super racist and just bitch constantly about how their property taxes are being wasted on brown people.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this is true, but you could imagine a targeted drug testing regime that relies on things like statistical analysis of players’ stats; e.g. older guys who are suddenly jacking homers all the time getting singled out for testing.

Jonathan Swan reminds me of Patrick Bateman. Like, I am 99% sure the dude has chased a woman around with a chainsaw before.

The person who started this is pretty clearly talking about writing, a mostly freelance field in which you have to pitch ideas constantly and, famously, even extremely talented writers are often rejected and get demoralized. This advice is obviously more applicable to freelancing than it is to a job hunt for a 9-5.…

I definitely have concerns about market concentration, especially given how bad it was for consumers in the very recent past when A-B and MillerCoors just absolutely dominated the American beer market. On the other hand though, I do appreciate that a major beer company like A-B buying a smaller brewery can mean a…

I think I’m generally more in the “sports authorities make too big of a deal out of steroids, but even still you have to draw the line somewhere” camp than Deadspin’s more laissez-faire attitude, but cycling does seem like a sport where you have to go back a really, really long time to find a dominant competitor who…

I mean, I don’t recall Laura writing in all caps or bringing up Metallica and smoked meats anywhere in the article.

Stuff like this will keep happening as long as dipshit alumni keep donating money because they hate their wife and kids and getting drunk at a college football game makes them feel young and cool again.

As a Rangers fan I feel comfortable with the duality of saying both that the Caps wouldn’t have made the Finals had the Rangers not missed the playoffs this year but also that the reason they did make the finals is that the Lightning now have too many Rangers players who light up the regular season and disappear in…

My inner fanboy definitely wants to see a live action Watchmen adaptation done right, but at the same time I also feel like it’s time to get over Watchmen as a cultural touchstone for comics. It was groundbreaking, it holds up, and I still love it, but I’m honestly not sure if it didn’t do more harm than good in the…

RIP your mentions.

It really depends. Putting like, a random person on the street on the spot by asking them for a 100% honest assessment of their boss might be unfair, but if your boss is a total piece of shit who spends his free time harassing women on the internet, then yeah I think it’s fair game for you to be asked about it.

I was on a flight a couple weeks ago where I had the window seat, my wife had the middle, and then some fucking weirdo who was wearing flip flops THAT HE TOOK OFF AS SOON AS HE SAT DOWN had the aisle. Across from us, one person was in the window seat, middle and aisle seats vacant. You would think the weirdo in our…

I enjoyed the first movie and will more likely than not see and enjoy the second one, but I think this is a pretty accurate critique of Deadpool that happens to be applicable to both the movies and the comic book source material.

Jesus christ, you are getting so mad on the internet about someone trash talking a hot sauce. Relax. You must be new here. People make deliberately hyperbolic comments about inconsequential things (e.g. hot sauce). It’s all in good fun.

Correction, I trashed on it for not tasting good, not for being mainstream. I trashed on people who like it for having bad taste. Big difference.

You seem fun. I hereby retract my assertion that it was a joke and formally declare that Tabasco is hot garbage, as are all of the people who name it as their favorite hot sauce.

Relax dude, it was a joke.

I would maybe be interested in trying this if only to see if it’s better than regular Tabasco, which has no complexity to its taste at all and is after Frank’s Red Hot probably the most boring hot sauce on the market. Never trust people who tell you that Tabasco is their favorite hot sauce, because they are the same…

The growth in vaporizers helps too. I don’t live in a state where weed is legal yet but just started using a vape and it’s great - it doesn’t irritate my throat the way smoking does and it doesn’t smell nearly as strong as smoking weed does.
