To a certain cohort (I think everyone knows who I’m talking about), these two things are not distinguishable.

My personal policy on abortion: Any time, anywhere, for anyone, for any reason, at no cost.

The phrase “die in a fire” was invented for exactly this situation.

I love that Charlie Brown just says, “RATS” over and over again because he just doesn’t have the language to express the depth of his despair. I remember that frustration. That’s the real genius of that strip.

Both of the incline photos are tilted. Classic whorin’

Dude, shut up. I’m in my happy place.

OK, men. Fellow man here. You know, we’re already just barely necessary to the survival of the human race. Any day now, it’ll become possible to make babies without man jizz, and then we’ll have no excuse at all. We all know, even the whiny, self-absorbed manbabies, that the world would be an objectively better place…

A: Yes.

You’re getting trolled, dude.

I don’t watch these kinds of movies any more but one of the best comparisons I can think of is between the Medusa battles from Clash of the Titans. 1981. 2010.

Honestly, if I won the tour, I’d probably quit too. Too much pain.

Right. Although as small as he is, he still puts out an astonishing amount of power. I think someone worked out that he averaged 450 up (part of?) the Alpe d’Huez and the consensus (among people like Greg Lemond) was that it was pretty unlikely he could do it clean.

The obvious answer is that the bike they used doesn’t have a gear selector an that he got tired. Some rack cyclists can put out 2000 watts but not for more than a a few seconds. Road sprinters can do maybe 700 for 45 seconds. To be able to do it long enough to toast a piece of bread is an astonishing feat.

In a lot of situations, the right way to handle an open-ended question is to ask the interviewer to clarify: “can you be more specific?” Sometimes these questions are designed to trip you up and make you say something you’ll regret. By asking for clarification, you take back some measure of control over the situation.…

The poor Wal-Mart back then didnt get free rides off food stamps.

You are arguing from ignorance. This is not something to be proud of. Maybe lay off the Fox News and crack a book.

They just look at the number and go "duh, this number is bigger than this one!". I guarantee, most of those landscaper deaths could have been avoided by following the proper safety procedures and that can be supported by both logic, common sense and statistics!

Maybe instead of guessing and speculating, you should peruse the evidence. There's no shortage of it. According to the BLS, you're more likely to die in farming, steelworking, construction, fishing, logging, roofing, steelworking, mining, driving, water transportation... etc. Some of these (fishing and logging in…

But being a cop is objectively safer. You've just been given the evidence. To the extent that policing is dangerous, it's because cops can't drive for shit.

Viciously despising savage cultures is right.
