I was reading this thinking where the hell is he going with this??? Then I saw the Gladwell burn. Well played sir

No, just like phone screen sizes are measured, MikeofLA is 6'3" when measured corner-to-corner.

Fuck venture capitalists.

That’s it, thanks everyone.

Hoo Boy. The Boomer Signal is flashing above gotham. Get ready to be (at best) sea lioned to death by a legion of Doo-wop loving, hippie to yuppie without hitching a step latent racist #NotAllBoomers.

The difference is Boomers were given a lot of advantages that millenials and Xers never had - because they made a concerted effort to take those enefits away after they’d taken advantage of them. I’d recommend giving “A Generation of Sociopaths” a read - it’s quite enlightening.

He still took it a step too far, blocking the QR code should have been enough. Especially if his defense is “I wasn’t trying to hurt anybody, I blocked the QR code so they couldn’t use them!” If someone got whatever he put over the code off and activated the scooter they’d be operating a potentially deadly device. I…

Yup. Alot of Boomers I have worked for are just like this too.

Speaking as one of the oldest Boomers (born 1949, if you can believe that) not all Boomers are evil. The earliest Boomer president was, let’s see... George W. Bush, followed by Bill Clinton and then... Donald Trump. Ok, I got nothin’.

As to what he was doing to the QR code. I suspect he was super gluing something over it, so that it could not be activated?

A psychopath tries to kill people, and your first response is Whataboutism?

He’s an asshole, but I understand the hatred of these.

Some of the comments here are goddamned appalling. It’s OK to hate on scooters - a visit to DC convinced me of how terrible an idea they are. But cutting brake lines its grotesque and its a bit of a miracle no-one was killed. If you sympathize with that then frankly, there’s something wrong with you.

You understand that because they are annoying that it might drive a person to cut the brake lines, thus causing possible serious injury to the rider as well as causing them to, you know, hit other people and uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh children?

I DON’T understand. “Here’s a solution to them injuring others, let’s make damn…

So could the Rays.

As an Astros fan, I hope Ray is right. But I feel like the baseball playoffs are a different animal. The sample size is large enough that a significantly better team should win, but short enough for funky things to happen. And I guess I just don’t think any team is significantly better than any other. (Most of the…

Remind me again what the acceptable number of children getting easily preventable serious brain injuries at baseball games?

+1,000

I’ve sat behind the screen behind home plate years ago and I think it starts out as a very minor nuisance and you stop noticing it is there after about 5 minutes.

Well this is just a preposterous take that I will absolutely oblige.

Teens may be young and impressionable, but they had all but quit smoking. I’ve seen so many arguments that are something like “At least now they’re vaping instead of smoking!” But I’m 25 and when I was in high school I didn’t know a soul who smoked, and if anyone did the herd mentality was that it was gross. In less…
