Sorry the point got lost.

I get it. But I don’t think the argument is successful. I don’t think that he exactly merits a spot out right, but rather that his football/qb skill (alone in a vacuum) merits one more than some guys that have gotten free agent deals, but I think this article glosses over how rightfully unattractive it is that Kaep…

That sensitivity you speak of cuts in multiple ways. I feel that I can see a few sides of this. If Joe Mixon can play for an NFL team, there’s no reason that Kaep can’t get 1 spot somewhere (granted Mixon’s potential skill and upside is much better than Kaep, but so is the negativity of his sideshow). I might stop…

That’s some good Beantown you got there buddy.

Yep. Most sources define strife as some variation on ‘bitter conflict’.

1. I think you mean billions upon billions with a “b”.

I would put it second only to Breaking Away (1979). Or possibly Rudy (1993).

I hate this situation, but I agree with your assessment of the police and their procedures. While I think the position of police officer by definition often attracts low quality human beings, they can’t always be held accountable for the right or wrong of a situation — in a warrant service they are just a mechanism…

What I legitimately believe is that he maintains this rule is to avoid implications and innuendo for the sake of his public position and says it’s to honor his wife. It’s a means of depriving his enemies of things to take out of context. And the opportunity cost (ever having a dinner meeting with a woman) is cheap…

I wiill never support pence but — I think the critical, and obvious think people are willingly leap-frogging here is that he’s a very public figure. Not having one on one meetings with a woman avoids any possible accusation of impropriety. It’s impossible to take something out of context if it just doesn’t exist. 

Mr. Magary, no one is more familiar with Pence’s douchery than hoosiers so, please, if you could keep our “Indiana basketballs” out it — we’d all thank you kindly.

I have an 18mo old and another very close to arriving so I am extremely new to parenting myself, and while it was never my singular ambition to have children like some crazy ass people I’ve met, I do think it’s been the most amazing/positive thing that’s ever happened to my life. With that said, I have never really…

I live in a city that has repeatedly considered/voted/tabled adding one express rail line (we have no rail network at all currently) connecting the city center with the largest suburb about 15-20 miles away. It is a fabulous idea that will never happen for several reasons:

Thanks for taking the time to answer/ellaborate.

Ya. Unfortunately, I think the legacy of the sad puppy shit is, that if they weren’t already, the Hugo Awards are now firmly a platform for advocacy rather than simply literary awards.

I just don’t know if I could take a Naruto anime with filler episodes.

Seriously not a dick question: When you say this—> “act as a megaphone, giving a douchebag minority a disproportionately greater voice” what are you referring to as the megaphone giving a minority a disproportionately loud voice?

This just in....despite rumblings to the contrary....fish have officially voted. It appears that water is not too wet.

Right.

I’m struggling for a way to put this without getting murdered: I don’t see how Hugo nominations are some kind of rebuttal of Marvel’s statement. Before and especially after the puppy fiascos of late the Hugo’s are exactly the “forum” that speaks/advocates for the parties that would be upset by marvels announcement. …
