I would love to hear what your point is. It is not as clear as you think it is. As far as I understand your “point” is that in an international context we should shut up and pretend everything is fine. If that is your point, it is a terrible point.

Are you white? Just curious.

Also he's 37 years old. If you're not used to getting your ass kicked for nigh on 10 years what are you even doing fucking with UFC talent? Taking a bump is a lot different than getting grounded and pounded.

Evan, you are fucking killing it, as usual, and I sincerely appreciate your perspective. Keep on keepin’ on.

Patiently waiting for the right-wing nutbags to somehow paint this is a positive light....

Just an FYI, as a fellow league player, you’re the person that everyone hates. You reactively proved the OP’s point by being a reactionary asshole. Good job.

The game is actually terrific at this point. If you haven’t played it in a while (or ever) I encourage you to find some folks to play with while you learn. The early grind on a new account is dreadful. The actual game is terrific and extremely polished with a ton of strategic depth.

Well he was rushed. He was charged with filling the site with posts by himself. That's a tall order. A lot of the posts were provocative in a fun way, which is appreciated on my end.

I, for one, really enjoyed the volume of opinionated posts. Gives you something to think about when the rest of the site is dead. I genuinely had a moment of “oh shit Doc has written 3 articles today and all of them are opinionated as fuck without being a boring internet take!” So I say good job, sir.

Does he, by any chance, not understand that “Born in the USA” is a protest song? Or is his mind clouded by the fact that Reagan’s demented husk used it on his campaign tour without sanction from The Boss?

He’s going there on Tuesday. The state asked that he stay away because they can’t handle a media circus in the aftermath of the disaster. Happy now?

He never once wrote the word “Hillary”. You are delusional. Just because Trump is a piece of human garbage, and has been for decades, does not mean that the only other opinion is “OMG I LOVE HILLARY!”. Get a fucking grip.

Iran man vs. Captain America. Now there’s a juicy 80's style plot. Simple and stupid. Like the old days of action movies.

Except that this action makes it seem “pretty fucking terrible on top of all the other objectively terrible shit”.

Hmmmm... That’s not what we’re talking about though. We’re talking about a woman competing against other women. Does anyone stop and test men to see what their T levels are? I didn’t think so. There’s a decent chance that some men winning medals have much higher natural T levels than the men that with whom they…

Right. A big part of Usain Bolt’s success is that he can still run like an elite sprinter while being unusually tall for his sport (seriously look at the guy compared to his peers at the Olympics). Is that unfair? Are his legs “too long”? It seems completely arbitrary to make these kinds of distinctions for an elite…

So true.

Also this. Thank you so much for summing this up so eloquently.

I never said I want her to take off the hijab. I’m merely saying that she, along with all women on this earth, should be able to choose without fear of being on the wrong side of a culture that will berate and ostracize them (best case scenario) and kill them outright (worst case scenario). When the “choice” is a…

Yes. She is. Because she doesn’t actually live in an oppressive, ultra-conservative Muslim country. Many (most even) Muslim women do, however, so your defense of her “right to do what she wants” only serves to highlight the lack of choice and basic human rights afforded to most Muslim women.
