I don’t think any reasonable person would say that Phelps is the greatest athlete of all time.

Yes but you still have to win each and every medal and it’s not like you get a chance every year. I’m also curious as to by what metric someone can decide that a basketball player is a better athlete than a swimmer.

You’re right, it’s not. It’s subjective and open to interpretation. Winning a race is winning a race so I have no clue how Lebron being (arguably) the best NBA player makes Phelps a nobody and his achievements irrelevant.

I’m not switching anything. The NBA hands out awards for being the best at an aspect of basketball. How’s that different from certain swimmers being better at certain styles.

Ever hear of the NBA awards? What exactly do you think happens there?

I’d also love for someone to explain why we care about which set of players is able to put a ball into a suspended the hoop the most amount of times before time expires.

Except generally aware is literally not “he fucking planned and requested it.”

I laughed so hard people in the office started staring.

It’s also self-evident that the world of finance is complicated on purpose as to fleece the customer. It’s hard to blame the people for now knowing the financial world when the financial world makes uses smoke and mirrors just to get the most out of your pocket.

The problem with compromising to “get shit done” is that the result ends up being shit that doesn’t actually do anything, or the impactful change has an expiry date.

I read that as insipid amateur at first.

Because this opinion is bullshit and I’ll gladly share my opinion of it with anyone who thinks somehow the man is at fault that the wife murdered their children just to punish the husband in an argument.

So his kids being dead are his fault?

Yeah, fuck the guy whose wife murdered his children just to spite him. He’s probably an asshole and not deserving at all of any sympathy.

Yeah, there’s just no way that jousting is more athletic than football. The pros make it look easy but there’s a lot of athleticism involved in throwing, catching, tacking, running routes, and everything else involved in the sport. As far as danger is involved, the risk of injury is greater in a single joust compared…

In my opinion, mainly because it’s such a niche and practiced by so few people. I mean, if I and group of my friends invented some sort of competitive game it doesn’t make it a sport. But again, it was a sport for centuries so what do I know?

I wouldn’t call this fake. The impact of these lances is legit, especially if it hits a soft spot. Never mind being knocked off your horse.

You cannot be this stupid. What the hell do you think laws are for?

My dad had a 2001 Buick Regal that he frequently drove from Stamford to Toronto. That thing was absolutely excellent and it had quite possibly the best AC I’ve seen in a car. It didn’t need a minute to get cold, it was freezing your nipples off in 2 seconds. Extremely comfortable as I learned passed out in the back…

You’re kidding right? It would be fantastic if the US had a left wing version of the Tea Party (with the same electoral results). You could end up with, you know, a progressive country.
