Played like a kid, went out like a kid.

As a fellow southender, meh. They’re not hard or scary. They fold easier than origami paper.

I don’t want to totally ruin things for you, but she’s a native speaker of Italian. I’m not, so I couldn’t tell you if she’s hamming it up, but odds are her accent is more correct that any of the Jersey Shore-style bullshit.

As a native Seattleite, Husky fans might be more annoying than the human dingleberries that comprise the 12s. They’re right up there with the morons that end every sentence with Roll Tide.

wherein they’ll claim to have an incredibly complex formula behind the rating. The talking heads will be able to somehow guess it instantly, thus confirming their genius. Except Darren Rovell, who’ll be prepping his tweets for the super bowl.

This is great, really, no joke, and there will never be enough professors like you (in this regard, at least). I hope you publicly shame every single professor who assigns the latest version of the book they authored/co-authored/edited and then never references it even once all quarter/semester. Those are the fucking…

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.
