As a Nashville resident, how about I just go to, say 4 Titans games, before they make their described SB run. I feel like that should qualify as time served and get me out of any actual prison stint.

+1 for actually making me visualize a barren field while laughing simultaneously.

This - This - This. My father was an alcoholic during my grade school years, completely emotionally unavailable, which is when the *gags writing the term* emotional incest started with my mom. It probably didn't help that I was a fairly bright kid, and I could keep up a pretty adult conversation, even while I was…

I'm really sad that these two people couldn't make it work.

I think he or she is not asserting that the woman is a spy, but that she is a lunatic with ready access to military-grade small arms, which I find much more alarming. You don't need any assassin skills to have a psychotic break and attack someone with an AR-15.

+1 for invoking the Sherriff's name.

It's a good thing you didn't get out of the car - the cop could have followed the sound of clanking brass right to you.

No, that would be assault, or murder. If you think having a dozen cops point a gun at you isn't dangerous, if not life-threatening, you don't keep up with the news. That danger is solely being created by the swatter - it would not exist except for their actions.

After reading a lot of the stuff below, and thinking on the idea above in general, I submit that the problem with a lot of "good white people" is that they want their empathy to have bought them an equal seat at the proverbial table. They don't want to accept that the only role they can respectfully play in combatting…

If more "good white people" could internalize that idea - perhaps they would not seek validation so publicly for being different from abject bigots, if only for trying to be part of the solution.

I think when you consider the median writing ability on most of the Gawker sites, you could probably give this person the benefit of the doubt - I won't speak for him/her, but my first thought was not a comparison to other African-Americans, but to other authors on these sites.

You see, this is the thing - it is always about us too, whether we want it or not. Whether being "good" or "terrible" white people, you cannot extract us from the narrative (no matter how much many wish it) of racism in the US. You cant' have a minority without a majority. It's all about all of us - discrimination is…

I think that was sort of the entire theory of cold war submarine tactics, or at least Tom Clancy's version of them.

His performance certainly made a splash.

Thank you for defending Tuskan Raiders from discrimination.

"I thought we agreed on total body prosthesis . . ."

Yes, clearly I am the one who is butt hurt. But what the hell here goes:

When you said confirmation bias, you hit the nail right on the head. Completely agree. This seems to test whether or not people are influenced by Michelin star ratings, and not much else.

You understand this is a site about gaming right? If you need validation, someone over at Jalopnik might actually give a crap that you race cars. For my part, I'm not willing to risk death/permanent injury to "have fun", but admittedly, I'm pretty satisfied with the size of my penis. Enjoy your adrenaline, though.

If you have no Ramen cravings, don't post. Remind me to find every Alfredo sauce post anywhere ever, and post, "but I'm lactose intolerant. . . " that would be about as useful. I mean, I try not to go all "get off my lawn" on here, but seriously? Your poor decisions do not negate discussions about Ramen, or cravings…
