Yeah - the far left is missing the forest for some very specific trees. They seem to think the problem is how “problematic” the less-far left is.

Generally the people defending the Nazi’s and KKK’s right to free speech were the very same people who condemned BLM and those activists as thugs, to be imprisoned, or better, murdered.

I’m going to guess that hsv/hpv are rampant in the “famous people” community. It’s probably considered a right of passage, like a SAG card.

According to some here, that painting has no right to exist - not his story etc.

“not their story to tell” is not a truism, though it’s often stated as such. I’d love to hear an explanation of why normal rockwell’s The Problem We All Live With should not exist.

If it helps imagine the words “I think” in front of all sentences.

Reading comment sections is much easier when you just assume people are sharing their opinions. Assume this disclaimer on pretty much all posts you ever read:

I think the vast majority of folks prefer monogamy (at least over polygamy, and nothing-gamy). Nothing at all like those those days/months/weeks/years/decades/however-long when it all just clicks.

My dumb NBA solutions:

It’s a twenty-teens thing. you can exclude and make nasty generalizations about individuals based upon their membership in one or more of the following groups: white people, men, straight people, non-transgendered people, Christians.

yeah - the cop was an ass and should get suspended / fired / executed or whatever. They gotta learn how to deal with high strung people - without it turning into some goddamn power struggle. The Sandra Bland video should be Exhibit A of how not to rise to civilian anger. Just be quiet and give them the damn ticket.

This reminds me of the crap Boston took for winning the East by barely scraping 53 wins together. It’s not our fault Cleveland phoned it in the second half of the season, and was storing their A Game for the playoffs, in their cheeks like chipmunks.

Usually the ROY is on a fair-to-poor team, because on a good team, they’re starting much lower on the depth chart. Also more games are winnable, so the coach can’t afford to have a talented rookie “learn on the job” (which translates to typical rookie mistakes like: forcing the action, missing defensive assignments,…

Ha I was just thinking of Acie! Trying to recall all the terrible first round picks the Celtics have had (two of our best were shipped out before they got their sea legs - Chauncey Billups and Joe Johnson).

I have to mention Jaylen Brown. No I don’t think he was in the running, but I do think he’s an example of a quality rookie buried on a good team. He looked like a solid pro all year, but had a ridiculously short leash. He’d miss a defensive assignment then play 6 minutes over the next 3 games. He shone during a…

From a business standpoint they’re doing what’s necessary to stay in the game. MS has had an interesting run the past few years. They were falling behind in many segments: their phone division was pathetic, they were losing their IT dollars to the cloud (Amazon mostly), losing Office revenue to free platforms, and…

To be fair, MS has had to play catch up in the exclusive department since day one. They just didn’t have the studios in their pocket that Sony has. They’ll never win the exclusives game, especially if you consider it a 3-way race with Sony and Nintendo.

Doing well in the draft is mostly luck. I’m sure at the time, the selections they made weren’t brilliantly shocking, just the usual calculation between “best player available” and “fills a dire need”. Like everyone else ever. That all three hit-if-not-exceeded their highest projected ceiling is dumb luck. It almost…

I have trust that Holland hasn’t turned mercenary - he’s likely using the “low hanging fruit” of skyrim ports to keep the lights on while working on massive things. We do know that they greatly increased the amount of staff since Fallout 4 released.

My wild guess is that they’ve been rebuilding the core engine (and/or licensing various components like rendering and physics and carefully integrating their Bethesda bits into it). The goal is something definitively “better”, but also stable, and most importantly, easy to develop upon.
