So...your defense is “he didn’t sexually harass every woman he ever worked with?” Nice straw man.

I feel like the Simpsons kind of lost its way (for me anyway) when they made Flanders pathetic (primarily by killing Maude). The fact that Flanders had a perfect life as a foil to Homer was kind of the point, and they even already had Milhouse’s dad if they wanted to run with the “pathetic single dad” thing for some…

I think the Tanzania one is the episode that finally made me swear off Simpsons forever, so the fact that it’s in the middle of the list does not speak well to late period Simpsons to me.

Wow, that was a long walk.

Ever since it came out that Weinstein used “is a nightmare to work with” as code for “wouldn’t sleep with me” when discussing Ashley Judd with Peter Jackson, I can’t ever really take “enormous pain in the ass” at face value any more. I mean, she *might* be but...

Story I heard is (with all appropriate skepticism of “a guy who heard from another guy told me”), is that Ortiz was sleeping with the wife of an organized crime figure/drug lord and that said criminal paid off a local cop to kill him. I don’t stand by the veracity of that in any way, but hey, why not spread random…

Sounds like something a bot would say. Get him!

I think what you mean to say is “they 10x it”

What the actual fuck are you on about, unless “fuck white men” is some kind of code for “fuck racists, sexists, and bigots”, which I am fully on board for as messaging for the democratic party (as a white man, fwiw).

These games were all simulated in a TV studio 3 years ago. You can tell by the shadows. Anyone who says they were there is either a payed crisis actor or were the subject of a massive government LSD/Virtual reality trial balloon.

Given that I’ve literally never seen a coach do this at any level your assertion is incorrect on it’s face. But really I think it’s just a general descriptor of Duke rather than an indictment of this tactic in particular (which, like calling timeout to freeze the kicker, does tend to make one look like an…

Came here to make some version of that comment, but yours was better.

I can tell the difference, but it is *much* closer than any other artificial burger, and if I wasn’t *trying* to taste it and I had a bunch of stuff on the burger (ketchup mustard pickles onions etc), I could definitely imagine not noticing.

Well sure, if you wanted to talk with him and his parents and just make sure that this kid doesn’t also have a bunch of other red flags that might make you think you should be worried, great, fine, but if (as everyone associated seems to believe) this was just a joke and there was no other reason to be worried about…

Wat? No. It’s putting down people who are clearly being assholes. I guess if mocking assholes is “putting down people who are different than me” (on the possibly charitable assumption that I am *not* an asshole) I guess I can live with that.

Was there some kind of bet for best ratio of time invested in article to number of comments/clicks?

Well you’ve made a compelling argument against a point that I in no way made. The point at which you resort to ad-hominem attacks is the point at which this conversation ends. Your anger is justified, so if that’s your only point: kudos.

Who cares, would you want them as your medical team?

Somewhere a Cardinals fan is shouting, and that makes me happy.

Yes, I’m sure that’s what the guys in the bee unit are doing.
