Yes, but the question said “with no preparation”. The number of people who have never played baseball or cricket at a reasonably high level (e.g. high school +) who would be able to hit a home run in an MLB park is either 0 or vanishingly close. I’m sure there are lots of people who have never (or almost never)…

I’m going to start using “Gormfull” (Gormy?) as a compliment...

I will never understand the compulsion to run to the comments section about any article about a property you don’t care for and shit on it. What are you hoping to accomplish?

Oh no, he’s ambivalent. Man I hope that means he doesn’t just kind of wander through the movie with a kind of blank, unengaged looks on his face that basically dares the audience to give a shit about him. That would be awful.

At least they aren’t trying to suck their own dicks like those robot freaks over on Westworld.

Here, take this kleenex to dry your tears.

(You do realize the joke is that he’s a defensive end, yes?)

My mom on new years a couple years ago, quite drunk, said some fairly questionable stuff about how the Chinese were basically coming after us and damned right I called her on it. Fair point that I let a lot of shit her dad said about Mexicans taking all of “our” jobs slide (though he is long passed now and wasn’t…

This.

Yeah, my friend made his own pretty sweet MAME cabinet, but he didn’t, you know, try to sell them.

I suspect we are around the same age (I’m 43 and grew up/live in the SF Bay Area) and I have the same experience - I was definitely taught that referring to someone as “black” was not OK (African-American was the preferred nomenclature).

Sure.

OK, I understand how you can be ethically anti-union and pro-worker, but from a practical standpoint, I don’t understand it. Like what policies, on a large scale, do you favor. “People should be nicer to each other”, while laudable, is not really a policy.

And even in case one, you should probably be aware that it’s going to be misinterpreted...

I’m pretty sure that “most people” do not know that.

You don’t seem to understand how job mobility is really hard for people, especially people dependent on employer-based health care. Your “solutions” pretty much put a very heavy thumb on the scale for people with the capital to start their own business at the expense of people who don’t. You blew off the “capitalist…

OK, so you keep saying there are other solutions to the problem unions exist to address, but (again unless I missed it) I haven’t seen you mention one other than “trust business owners to treat employees well”.

Nobody is saying it is not *possible* for an employer to treat employees fairly and respectfully, but it is also certainly possible that they do not. Unless I’m missing something, you don’t seem to be making any allowances for that possibility.

Yes, he said it in season 2.

My wife remembered that: Littlefinger said it to (I think) Varys in season 2.
