Got it. Don’t work to change things through the channels of power available to you unless a majority of people already agree with you. Sounds like a great recipe for reform.

The problem with that attitude is that millions of Americans can’t “escape” from our broken criminal justice systems that inflicts on them highly disproportionate levels of police violence, harassment, and incarceration. They are attempting to use the platform they have to ease the suffering of others. Maybe if we all…

Yup. Can’t upset the part of the fanbase that is just fine with, indeed supports, police brutality and disproportionate arrests, convictions, and sentences for POC. 

Damnit. Now I really want an Tank 7 and it’s not even noon yet.

Eh, plain Fritos are actually one of the very few big name snacks I can eat with zero trepidation. Not a health food by any means, but only three ingredients (corn, corn oil, and salt), all of which I am very familiar with, and zero trans fats and no preservatives. Much better than most tortilla chips on the market.

I won’t obstruct you if you do.

There is debate, for sure, but I think lede is still the dominant spelling among journalists. http://grammarist.com/usage/lead-lede/. Just having fun, regardless.

No doubt. The article had been edited by the time I got here, so I have no idea what the original typo was. I was just engaging in a little good-natured ribbing. I hope I didn’t come across too harshly.

I’ll be raven mad if the Commission doesn’t quickly hire some legal eagles to hatch a plan to end this little flap before it becomes a full-fledged scandal. Swift action is a cardinal rule of crisis management.

I’m a bit dismayed about the lack of love for Scattegories in both the list and the comments.

I like to play “speed scrabble,” which is basically bananagrams with a scrabble set and you add up points (detracting for the non-winners’ unused tiles) after each round. Added bonus that you don’t have to buy a separate game.

Here’s how to be good at Scrabble: Learn all the two-letter words and happily crowd the board so the game is less fun for everyone else.

Fuck Monopoly, fuck Operation, and fuck you for not including Scategories.

At least Pandemic made the cut. I love that game.

People who have memorized every two-letter word and play “defense” by actively trying to crowd the board can just go jump off a bridge for all I care. #SorryNotSorry,Dad

just get a deck and play on the table with a bottle of whiskey tequila like the game is intended

Can’t tell if you’re advocating greater investment into our education system or . . . genocide?

Yule get over it.
