I should clarify that I didn't think that Audrey Hepburn was a possible reference point, I'm not a 'fashion' person, so that was the first 'icon' who came to mind.

My thoughts exactly.

"the over-accessorized (and often under-confident) ilk"

Goddam, can a black woman just 'channel' the fucking something of fucking Audrey Hepburn for once?

Just because it's necessary for the functioning of a football team (or a fucking water polo team) doesn't make it right. And that's really back to the key thing: why the fuck is a school so focused on the football team that they give the players special privileges not available to the average student? Why is practice…

Not a MOBA player, but your statement is just generally wrong. Your fun isn't my fun isn't everyone else's fun; plenty of people like playing for stakes.

They're not 'letting themselves be used', they (or, at least, a select set) are raking in a shit ton of money being the minor league.

I'm glad someone said that, I'd forgotten how goddamn aggravating it was to see my school's swimmers, golfers, track athletes and whatever else get priority registration for classes, laundry service, separate gym facilities, and a free ride (at cost to the rest of the student body) without providing anything in…

But that's just the point. Now, a school that wants to be competitive is going to offer prospective stars a salary, which will create a market for college athletic talent, which will allow athletes to take a cut of the profits their work generates.

To be fair, that is a pretty great photo.

Oh bullshit. It's undeniably more dangerous than driving 60. I'm not saying it's evil, but it's fucking blatantly more dangerous.

Yeah, enforcement in CA is pretty lax. I'm not sure about the actual letter of the law, what punishments are prescribed, but they're almost only handed down when you're:

Well, not you, but someone with some sack, maybe.

"We let in that cement, and look what they did with it."

That's his point.

finally. I'm sad for the guy, it sucks that it happened, but c'mon, we don't come here for the empathizers.

That's exactly what it is. You can parry by hitting forward (for high) and down (for low) at the moment of impact. I'm not sure how many frames you have, but it's pretty small. And yeah, the key is that it doesn't shave off health when you parry an attack like it would if you blocked.

Ooh, that name is hawt. I don't know if I'll ever hear that song the same way again.

To your point about apparel manufacturers:
