Largely, I agree with this. Plus, Martin writes an (arguably) worse scene involving Jayne Pool and Theon in the books. Martin felt it was important enough to include something so awful to drive home the point that Ramsay is a monster—I am sympathetic to the “hey, but you can get that across WITHOUT rape” argument, but…

Honestly. Like, the best argument in favor of Bowser was that she has not done anything that isn’t politics her entire life. And that is a terrifyingly bad reason to elect someone!

So unsurprising. DC resident here, and you’d be hard pressed to find a more unprincipled empty suit in politics. Watching her grovel for bringing the Olympics to DC was a low point, plus her gratingly false “a stadium for all” hashtag following the construction approval at Buzzard Point this past year. It’s like she’s…

Hey, thanks a lot for the charitable response! There’s a lot I agree with, and it helps me to see these ideas more clearly. I can’t understate how much I agree with the point that white people in particular are very bad at seeing how minority groups suffer in the United States because of institutional structures. For…

This is interesting to me. So, the intention is not the issue here—the fact that it could make people feel bad, even if there is no malice about it, is the problem? If this is the case, isn’t everything that could potentially raise bad feelings within someone grounds for being problematic in the same way? And if this…

Never change, USPS. Never change.

Do Mets fans actually call him Pizza? Because I want that to be true more than I've ever wanted anything to be true in my life.

Valid concern, but I can think of a few reasons why that might not be the case. NBA teams aren't going to play a player who isn't good, so I don't think we'd see play quality suffer—NBA teams are (unless you're the Sixers) in the business of winning, and have an incentive to play their best players. Also, I think that…

I don't get the hate for one-and-done. Everyone knows the NCAA is a racket—the only reason one-and-done is implemented is so college teams can reap the profits from enjoying the top future NBA talent for a year (see Anthony Davis.) If anything, I think Cal's strategy is a more honorable one—he's the only coach who…

This is a bad argument and you should feel bad. All it takes is one vindictive bureaucrat, or hell, a whole slew of unscrupulous representatives, to turn something none of us see a bad into something that can wreck your life. Yes, in fact, I do have things to hide—innocuous thing, to me, but hell, maybe someone else…

Hank is a Very Good Dog. Good dog, Hank.

Why pass up the chance to lambast what is largely a harmless incident by a woman who is by all accounts a kind and decent human being? This goddamn place, man.

You do realize that you complain about how she and her friend are making assumptions and profiling in the first 'graf, and then you make assumptions and profile Ms. Tuohy as she is like "every good sweet southern Christian lady... I know the type very well.", in the second 'graf, right?

Anyone gloating that they are right in this case is a miserable human being being, even if they were correct. The blame has to lay squarely at the feet of Rolling Stone—I can't even begin to fathom the damage they've done with this kind of irresponsible journalism. My sorrows lie with all victims who are going to find…

Please pardon me as I furiously pleasure myself to this image.

Yeah, I feel that. I mean, I'd identify as libertarian openly without very much prodding if you caught me in casual conversation, but also accept notions like society providing certain structural benefits to white dudes and that the state has essentially weaponized its law and justice arm to terrorize brown and black…

Libertarian-ish dude here. I think that this is a shit article and that Ayn Rand wrote novels full of festering dog shit. As is their nature, libertarians are a pretty heterogenous group—we aren't all fuckers.

Well, I can't tell you that! There are some people who think that cake is better than pie. This is wrong to me—insanely, incredibly, pants-on-head stupid wrong—but there are people who believe this, and are very happy believing it!

This probably isn't a popular view round these parts, but if someone doesn't feel like…
