I kind of hate the way she’s doing this. I went through the Ticketmaster Verified Fan garbage to get Harry Styles tickets. At least with that, you didn’t have to jump through a million hoops for a shot. You get verified just by having a Ticketmaster account, then you get a code for pre-sale and go at it against…

Remember the old days when you had to spend the night in a physical line in front of the local record store that served as your area Ticketmaster outlet to get tickets for a concert?

So she eliminated scalpers by becoming the scalper, eh? Very interesting technique.

Athletics, which used to be something lower income people could excel at, has become yet another upper class stronghold. Like, instead of excelling at sports in high school and getting a college scholarship, you have to have been playing since you were a toddler. And the younger (rich) people start their kids, the…

The misconception that young athletes can just walk it off is brutally persistent in this country’s sports programs; the idea the kids “bounce,” that they heal in no time, etc. Yes, a child probably can recover more quickly than a forty year old from strained muscles and bruises, but damage done young doesn’t…

Yeah, holding kids back for that reason is a privilege of upper middle class people. Poor and lower income people have to get their kids in school ASAP so the mom/caregiver parent can get back to work (if they haven’t already) and so they don’t have to pay exorbitant daycare fees for yet another year. So their kids…

Where I live a lot of people will delay enrolling their male children in school by a year so they’ll have an advantage in sports.

May I present, this map:

I knew someone who has their kid held back a year in high school so that he could get a better college lacrosse scholarship. Shit’s crazy.

This is sports culture in America. Sports teams get amazing funding as teachers are struggling to keep pencils in their classrooms, many of our colleges rank sports as more important than classes, sports are being pushed onto kids younger and younger, and they’re only getting more extreme. And I don’t mean like fun,…

It’s such an obvious plot and has very questionable animal relationships. My biggest take away the material they needed was called “unobtainium”. Did you guys just think eh we’ll change that to something better later than just forgot? Everytime it was uttered I wanted to slap my head.

You didn’t miss much. There wasn’t enough room on the floating door for all the blue people after the white people drove their iceberg into their planet. Add in some Native American genocide lip service mixed with the magical negro trope, and top of the line CGI, and that’s the movie.

“I’m not like most black people. I voted for Bernie Sanders. Who was the last politician that offered us universal healthcare?”

Anyone have similar word game recommendations for PC (preferably on Steam)? I have the Popcap Bookworm series, and a version of Boggle and Scrabble from ~forever ago. Steam amazingly only has 6 games total with the “word game” tag, so hoping a bunch are just missing the tag.

(I’d never heard of Words for Evil, which is…

you will be doing all the work and he will sit there like a fucking rock. Or quicksand.

Oh, I left out the part of my comment where I called him an asshat. I actually thought it was nicer to just say that he’s cheating.

Asshole guys always think they’re so creative with their bullshit ways to get what they want. “Hey dude, you seriously think you’re the first one to try that? Gimme a break.”

That was such a douchey line. He’s basically blaming her for their crappy sex life even though he’s had issues for 2 YEARS and never told her. This is clearly all on him but somehow he’s managed to con MVP into thinking that she has to fix this. You can’t fix a person who’s that broken MVP, cut and run babe.

My wife and I went to a party one time that turned out to be a swingers event (we were very naive in how to decipher the invite which was “coded”). Nothing happened, we left early but it gave us the chance to talk about it. We decided it wasn’t for us. The chance at a few hours of fun is heavily outweighed by…
