How the fuck do you still have a job?

This is just the most pertinent anecdote I have to the comment I replied to. I have a ridiculous number of friends who have been raped or violently sexually assaulted (which, honestly, any number bigger than zero is enraging) who’s attackers have gotten away with it based on “inconclusive evidence” or flat out victim…

Did you even read what I wrote? Every single part of it after the rape is predicated on her reporting it.

I think for teachers to be offended they’d have to be supported by the government in the first place.

They absofuckinglutely should. This shit happens everywhere, all the time, and the assholes who make the choice to forever alter another human’s life against their will for fun holy shit how the fuck do you do that and live with yourself rarely get what they deserve. College athletes are even worse; they have people…

A friend of mine was raped via drugging. The rapists - yes, plural - took photos. They admitted it in recorded phone conversations monitored by police. They were not charged due to inconclusive evidence and the possibility it was consensual. There is no slam dunk in these sorts of cases.

The idea that companies without government oversight will eventually offer what consumers need is incredibly naive, bordering on idiotic.

Lets try the solution is actually to first find out why the others haven’t been approved. Or, you know, we could definitely have it your way and go back to the days of bottles of rubbing alcohol being sold as cures for cancer. You know what, that last one sounds better, lets go with your idea of removing regulative…

I took a line drive to the middle of my upper arm while pitching. Doctor told me it was probably about an inch from hitting the point where apparently a sufficient enough impact, which he said it certainly had been, will just straight up sever the tendon. My entire arm bruised from shoulder to elbow and I was ruined…

I think we should take bets on who in the upper echelons of the Chargers owns this account.

It kind of plays out like that in soccer; once the ball is sufficiently advanced you’re taking a pretty big risk trying to play for the offsides. The offsides rule ends up constraining play in some aspects, but also results in breakaways that would almost certainly never happen otherwise.

Yep. The offsides rule actually ends up making the game more wide open. Think of it as similar to the over and back rule in basketball, which serves to constrain play such that it’s forced to stay active. No offside rule and there’s too much space on the field. Also some asshole would just stand in front of the goal…

I think the defining characteristic is at least one foot has to be in contact at all times, but all I know about race walking I learned from Malcolm in the Middle, so who knows if it’s accurate.

I mean, I’m definitely glad the wins are coming at a non-fatal rate, but this team has been doing this sort of thing for too many decades for me to not expect it.

Been an Ms fan since I was old enough to know what baseball is (late 1980s); I’ve been assuming that since the middle of my first season of fandom. Very little has changed.

Mariners fan here. Came home sometime around the middle of the 6th, saw a 6-3 scoreline, didn’t bother tuning in because I somehow knew they’d blow it in the bottom of the 9th and didn’t feel like watching it happen yet again. This was fully expected by every Ms fan.

We can only hope

As a Seattleite and long-suffering Sonics fan, watching the franchise struggle and slowly fall apart would bring me more joy than winning the Powerball. I’m not religious, but I pray every day for that sort of thing to happen and that Clay Bennett will lose a Powerball’s worth of money. In conclusion, fuck you, you…

Mariners fan here. That’s such a painful memory.
