Being deeply out of touch with reality does tend to have the effect of leaving you lonely.

How many incidents across how many schools and how many deaths have ocurred at events full of drunk college students that didn’t necessarily involve frats directly? I gotta be honest, only 4 college students dying amidst the insanity of college partying seems like it’s probably about par for the course.

Okay, but wow, this guy completely fails to point out that using stocks as a haven against inflation also puts you at risk if equity markets crash. We are in one of the longest bull markets in history right now. Using stocks to diversify away from inflation risk if you are an older investor is just ... yikes kind of…

They’ve never boned a friend’s mom.

But what I’m saying is that publishing these many thousands of words is falling for his trap.

I mean, look, we all do this, every time with JR Smith, and then when he eventually not only tanks a game for himself, but for his team because he refuses to stop taking dicey shot after dicey shot when he’s not making them, you’ll remember why JR Smith gets consigned to background status eventually.

I always felt that after being frustrated by Jordan so many times Jerry Sloan became a shell of the coach he was in the 90s, though maybe I’m misremembering that. Or maybe Stockton to Malone was so good they made a rather mundane coach look awesome.

Yeah, this was supposed to end this way. When did Iverson ever have any semblance of control over his personal life?

When someone dies suddenly, not only is the grieving more full of shock, but the need to immediately re-arrange your life to cope with this person being gone provides everyone with constant reminders throughout the day that this person is gone. Also, I agree with what you say about it being hard for other people to…

While I’m not a stay-at-home-dad, and I do have a stay-at-home wife (not because of values or beliefs, that’s just how the cookie crumbled) I’ve actually finally met a stay-at-home dad in real life who is a parent of one of the kids in the informal social group of stay-at-home spouses that my kid and wife are becoming…

Yes, but to engage the legal system, you have to SUE your employer. Your employer is not required to have language in their agreement with you addressing this possibility. So in other words, Tom Brady has the exact same remedies available to him that we do, in addition to the appeals process he already has in place.…

My examples are far more relevant than using the court system in this case.

An “appeal” can absolutely be the same person who passed down the initial judgment. Ask any child who has begged a parent to reconsider a punishment, or an employee who begged a boss to reconsider weekend work hours.

Well, it is an appeal if that’s the process that all parties agreed to when they negotiated how appeals would work.

You know what honey, if I ever wear sweatpants to date night, I’ll leave a note telling the judge that I said it was okay for you to kill me for wearing sweatpants to date night.

Maybe the better answer is ... don’t? If a frat is racist, and whatever body the school has put in charge of the fraternities’ association with the campus finds that the frat is “structurally” racist (as compared to just having a few members saying racist shit), then tell students they must immediately leave that…

This should be an interesting negotiation to watch. Dwayne Wade has been sort of a Tim Duncan-esque figure for Miami in terms of his greater willingness to work with team management to make them better than most players might have been willing to go along with.

But I think the point is that other people’s casual observations don’t matter to many of us. I don’t care if you think my toenails are ugly or my toes are misshapen. Go right ahead and think that.

Is Shiner Bock overrated? I was under the opinion that most folks see Shiner Bock as a pretty basic, run of the mill beer at this point, don’t they?

Well I’m right there with you. I have almost the exact same set up, from backyard flip flops to gym slip on sandals and Toms and Birk clogs.
