In fairness to cauliflower-haters, I think much of the hate derives from the vegetable being ill-prepared in the hands of the ignorant (see also Brussels sprouts, spinach, and broccoli). If one has only had mushy, boiled vegetables, one could be forgiven for mistaking bad preparation for bad food.

Do you think it was some deep-seated anti-immigrant, pro-America thing (like people who lose their shit over tay-HAS or los AHN-hay-lays) or just extreme individuality?

The real problem with microwave popcorn is not the effect on the consumer but on workers and the hilariously-named-if-it-wasn't-so-awful condition known as Popcorn Lung. Buying microwave popcorn supports a simply unethical business practice.

Domestic violence doesn't come from a rational place. Domestic violence occurs against people viewed as vulnerable, not people who are viewed as strong.

If PETA wants to raise vegan awareness in a constructive way while aiding people in Detroit, why not open a vegan soup kitchen (maybe with public showers and sinks so people losing water access can get clean) in the middle of Detroit? People who need assistance can eat healthy, vegan meals and redirect their money…

I neither know nor care what is in his heart. I know and care about what came out of his MOUTH on national TV, which was that we need to explore why men do this and what women do to "provoke" such abuse. Smith can deal with whatever is in his heart.

You couldn't, say, give someone an end cubicle, extend the cubicle walls up 2 feet, and stretch an opaque cloth/erect a portable screen over the opening to the cubicle when in use?

It doesn't have to be a locking room (though you could of course take a door and put a lock in it for like $10), but it has to be free from intrusion and shielded from view.

For a business with more than 50 employees? Figure it out. Finding a room you can go in with some privacy and an outlet shouldn't be that hard for a business of that size. What kind of a business doesn't have a small conference room or something similar?

"At a press conference Friday filled with self-pity, in which he did not apologize to his wife, Janay Palmer, Rice said he had 'failed miserably.'"

So, are you saying this is the first time Ray Rice has hit his wife?

I read what you wrote. The article headline is correct. Josh Gordon was suspended for pot smoking. It's a headline and not intended to convey every nuance of the story. My thinking your point was dumb and criticizing it isn't the same as the inability to read. My reply clearly showed that I understood your point (that…

Believing in anecdotes over data ought to be a disqualifier for a science-based profession.

So, if the headline said beating a woman unconscious once is 1/8 as bad as smoking pot twice, this would fix all your problems? Cool. I hope that helps you sleep tonight. That was definitely the most important thing about this article.

I thought the Ravens' response was, if anything, worse than the NFL's. They ran a press conference with Ray and his wife, wherein his wife apologized for provoking him.

The PA turnpike has 17 rest stops. I don't think there's anywhere you'd have to drive 30 minutes to get to the next one.

That's the practiced non-answer that most players are good at giving. So, maybe answering questions isn't a distraction at all? And personal questions even less so than play-related ones?

he never said he wouldn't be posted by dumb shits on Twitter.
