It would be doing a lot better if they could find a fucking switch to sell me.

To be fair, “Our website is dedicated to commodifying outrage in order to farm clicks so that vaguely-dissatisfied office drones will use Kinja Deals” doesn’t stir the blood in quite the same way.

My first reaction is that they must be bleeding regular players pretty hard if they’re giving away this much free stuff. For my part, I know I stopped playing a while back, never bothered installing it on my new phone, and this isn’t likely to get me back.

With the Bears in particular, though, I’ve got the impression there’s an implicit push from above to have the whitest possible QB because of a (probably well-founded) fear that the fans won’t rally behind an african-american. That’s my guess as to why they got Trubisky instead of the other two QBs in the draft. …

Worth noting that Paris United is reporting that the deal’s done.

I mean, we say this every time but... jesus can we get Billy off the soccer beat? He’s awful at it. Have Lauren write more. She’s great: knowledgeable, good writer, etc. I mean, we don’t need Michael Cox up in here but Billy is just awful.

1) No they don’t. The murder rate isn’t high enough for white people to “walk every day” or even every week for murdering black people.

The quiz is defective, as it didn’t tell me “the sixth circle of hell, within the city of Dis, where you will be condemned to work in a Gamestop for all eternity as punishment for your idolatry.”

What the hell is this sentence: “You believing that a spouse’s less than stellar record is enough in this day and age for Democratic party that you stated yourself doesn’t have a clue, is as naive as we all were in believing that WOMEN WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR A PUSSY GRABBER.” supposed to mean?

I mean, it is dumb. On the other hand, preparing to have a child is such a terrible melange of hormones and expectations and stress you might as well do something dumb and fun if you want to.

“I dreamed. I dreamed of a land where everyone else is bad and nothing is my fault. And the name of this land? Jezebel”

I dunno, lawful good is a pretty interesting alignment, particularly when some moral ambiguity is injected into the proceedings.

I still feel like the perfect SimCity game still has yet to be created. SimCity 4 is the best, but it also has some serious limitations (the size of the city plot is always a killer for me... I want to build on something the 30 miles by 30 miles, not 2x2).

Well, I think it’s more galling in this case b/c she’s using it to convey the depth of her attachment to the dog.

It’s a tough race between them and people who say that they are their pets’ “mom.”

No

I mean, I could very well be wrong, but I’ve got my doubts about the provenance of these slides. I mean, they’re just a little TOO on the nose in terms of hitting liberal confirmation bias.

This is off-topic, but I’ve never seen any advertising that made me have such a visceral negative reaction as those AV Club ads.

How embarrassing.

I’m working off more of all of Durant’s comments about how much he wanted to be on a team, how great it was to go to GS and be a part of a good culture, etc. The subtext is that there was no team in OKC.
