Agreed, it seems pretty obvious to me. As others have mentioned, we’re raised with the cultural idea that if you’re really into someone you have to show them through persistence, and though Hollywood presents this in a way that would be straight-up creepy in real life, we all participate in some form or another.…

That GIF is perfect. I love how it makes it look like Escobar is having a ‘50 Cent first pitch’ moment and spiking the ball on the ground for Infante to pick up and toss back. Rinse, repeat.

I work in digital marketing and this is just... the logic and math is unbelievably fuzzy here. No one I know would try to put the numbers together like this. I would be fired if I ever submitted a report with logic this terrible.

I hate these non-catch rules. I hate the Cowboys too, but that was a friggin catch. Unless the player uses the ground to retain the ball, it should be a catch.

I remember one of the books had the dinosaurs escaping the island to other nearby places with people. I don’t recall them really addressing what happens to all the flying dinos that escaped.

Yes, it is so much cooler to suck on shitty, stinky cigarettes.

Ok, I’m sorry. I wasn’t going to respond anymore, but I just love that you posted a quote that explains the whole concept perfectly, but somehow, you still don’t get it. A+

Ok, maybe YOU are talking about retroactive perception of time, but this article and the rest of us are firmly talking about perception in the moment. We’re talking about how driving a few hours feels like nothing to a parent and an eternity to a child.

I don’t see the downside to marrying Taylor Swift. Even if you don’t get to consummate... why would annul that? Did you overlook the part about NO PRENUPS?

Yes. Yes. Yes. This is maybe the best reason to get married I’ve ever heard.

*sigh* Portland will never get a hockey team.

They run promotions to sell tickets to OTHER TEAMS FAN BASE. That’s why they sell out at home - half the audience is rooting for the visiting team. How can you not see that as a struggling franchise?

Look. I’m not saying the other elements you outlined aren’t a factor in the perception of time. They certainly are. “Time flies when you’re having fun” is a common saying because we all experience it, much like we do waiting for water to boil or work to be over, when time seems to slow to a crawl. But these are small…

It isn’t a suggestion, it is an inherent truth. The way we perceive things is based on what we have experienced. You can apply it to many things. Say the first pain you ever felt was a scraped knee, you might think that is the most horrible feeling in the world, but once you’ve broken an arm, your frame of reference…

You know, I grew up poor too. My family was always on welfare, always moving from shitty apt to shitty apt looking for work. I was homeless when I graduated high school. Never went to college. Though I’ve never had a credit card, I had to file for bankruptcy when I was 23, mostly due to family/medical issues.

Maybe I’m just biased cause I’ve seen many marmots in the wild before. I’ve even had a grumpy one “chase me” once.

I know this column is mostly tongue-in-cheek, but you can’t honestly think “everything would pretty much be like it is now” if we knew the world was ending. No damn way there is still sporting events and awards show. NO WAY. All of it becomes meaningless, there would be massive chaos, economic collapse, etc. It is…

You are flat out wrong about baths. I don’t enjoy them personally (I take 1-2 a year when I’m feeling really sick), but what you fail to understand is that most of the grime, oil, and bacteria that sticks to your skin over the course of the day is easily lubricated off you (and then diluted) in the bath. It doesn’t…

I’m sure the Coen Bros know what a marmot is. Calling a ferret a marmot was very in character for The Dude.

Ah, the stupidity of assigning gender to asexual robots.
