I want to see this kid do a one-on-one interview with Bill Belichick. I’d give 10 to 1 it would be a legitimately good interview.

“imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group”

It never would have occurred to me were it not couched in those terms, but isn’t he kind of right? Do native inhabitants not have a right to demographic majority? Basically every instance in history of one race pushing another race out of territory where it is demographically the majority is labelled “genocide.” What…

The people on that list are quarterbacks who started in and won at least two Super Bowls. The list illustrates that of quarterbacks who have started and won multiple Super Bowls, Brady has had the weakest defenses during those playoff runs as measured by points allowed, suggesting that Brady has not been buoyed by…

Average points allowed per playoff game in Superbowl winning runs, for every QB who won multiple Superbowls:
18.5 ppg - Brady (2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016)
17.6 ppg - Roethlisberger (2005, 2008)
15.6 ppg - Peyton Manning (2006, 2015)
15.1 ppg - Eli Manning (2007, 2011)
15.0 ppg - Starr (1966, 1967)
…

Better statistics, because nobody talks about the regular season when they talk about greatness.

Do people really find Jimmy more attractive than Brady?

Oh, most definitely. My intent was to convey something in the middle. Dumb people miss nuance and go too far. This (it seems to me) is a clear instance beyond that, where this goes beyond missing nuance and taking a fetish too far. This isn’t using a sledgehammer to pop in a nail. I’ve seen someone do that. It was…

Never dabbled in that myself but I would imagine that the nuances might be lost on people of lower intellect than those you likely associate with. I don’t think it occurs to the average person of above average intelligence just how dumb a person of lower intelligence really is. As George Carlin said, “think of how…

Traitor is the only non-Zhan book from the EU that I have read more than once, and remains the only Star Wars book I have recommended to non-Star Wars fans to read. Of the few that did subsequently read it, even lacking much background in Star Wars, they pieced enough together from context that they were able to enjoy…

When someone has experienced pain, I don’t think it’s an entirely uncommon reaction to want others to experience that pain. That’s not to justify said reaction of course, but there’s a reason that many perpetrators of child molestation, for example, are former victims of molestation.

If he goes to the Patriots, we’ll be reading in a year or two about how he’s dropped half his salary on launching a shelter for battered women. Bill Belichick is like a fucking hypnotist or a wizard or a telepath or something because bad dudes do not stay bad dudes on that team (Hernandez being the exception that…

SUPER underrated comment right here.

The watchdog guy posts regularly on the letsrun.com messageboards. He posted there that someone had tipped him in on what happened here, and he investigated from there. I don’t think he was actively looking for cheaters in random races.

As a graduate student, I hear all the time that grad students are treated like garbage. Maybe I’m just lucky, maybe it’s a STEM vs. humanities thing where we have somewhat better external funding, I’m not sure. But I’ve always felt well treated and respected by my academic mentors, and my peers seem to have a…

In all fairness, you’re also paying all that money to meet said “someone you know” by working in their labs or impressing them in their classes. And the more you learn, the bigger/better such people you can get close to, and they will likely know someone outside of the college or university who might be helpful to…

Has the dog been tested for PEDs?

I think you’re confusing free markets for anarchy.

Wow, I replied right away without reading this whole post thinking I had encountered the dumbest point you were likely to make in the first line. Boy was I wrong.

“Any time you make money you are taking it from someone else.”
