I know it’s nice to use reductivism to come to simple conclusions about things that bother you, but I don’t think it’s helpful. Hell, you and I are on the same side and you won’t even listen to me.

Don’t kill me, but I actually have a few Trump-supporting friends and they’re just...dumb. They’re racist, sure, but they absolutely have no clue how. Their minds literally cannot fathom that because they aren’t directly racist toward someone that they can still be racists, based on policies they support and whatnot.

Vrabel looks like he borrowed a bunch of money from friends and family 7 years ago to open a Crossfit gym in Grand Junction, Colorado and is still waiting for it to turn enough of a profit so he can quit his job working at the T-Mobile kiosk at the only mall in town.

Very good points.

The irony is that the grappling aspect of MMA is the aspect that probably most closely mirrors that of a boxing match. It’s very nuanced and elegant if you have any idea of what’s going on. But we’re not a nation of grapplers, and to most people it just looks like sweaty dry humping.

One time I was in the middle of an all-out brawl at some house party at the edge of town somewhere, and I attempted to soccer kick some guy because I had seen it done in Pride so many times. But at the last second I got legitimately scared of killing the guy and I ended up whiffing completely. He got up and punched me

Because you’re used to watching boxing. Which is a different sport.

In all seriousness, though, the tradeoff from boxing to MMA is you lose the tightness and nuance of a boxing match, for the more free-flowing spontaneity of MMA. If you’re not used to or prepared for the latter, it comes across as sloppy and chaotic.

Sean McVay looks like he isn’t quite sure what Brock Turner did wrong and is waiting for someone else to say the same thing so he can jump in and agree. 

His toenail flipped up like the hood of a car.

In November of last year, I opened the front door to my house without any shoes on—as I had done probably thousands of times in my life— and somehow the door caught my big toe at just the right angle that it completely ripped the nail from the toe.

You and your steakhouse are far bigger douchebags than the customers paying you to do your job, which is, you know, to prepare the food the way they like it.

But the customer is the “customer.” They’re being paid to “cow” to the customer. That dude and his restaurant are far more reprehensible than any person who orders a well-done aged rib-eye. 

One of the cool things about it was that even though it had celebrities and professional athletes, all the competitors had actual jobs outside of training for Ninja Warrior and it had this feeling that these were just normal, extremely fit people who had typical, relatable lives. As is typical, the American version

Sarah Jeong’s tweeets were not racist. If you don’t understand that, then there’s no reason to have a conversation with you. 

White people are so sensitive....

The issue is if one calls one’s self a “Christian” one is supposed to adhere to the new “Covenant” as instituted/implemented by the appearance of Jesus. This new covenant between man and God is summed up with the Sermon on the Mount— “Blessed be the meek, blessed be the peacemakers, etc.”— which, in Christ’s defense

Yeah, definitely. One of the nice things about Pueblo is that you can go enjoy the perks of places like Colorado Springs and Denver without having to actually live (and pay to live) there. You’re also within driving distance to all of Colorado’s other amenities.

It is and I live there now.

I mean, yeah, I liked Fury Road. I like pretty much everything about that movie. But it probably doesn’t even crack my 10 of best action films and I keep wondering why people act like it’s the be all, end all of the entire genre.

Ben McAdoo looks like he’s running for a state house seat in Alabama.
