Dead wrong. As someone who’s done martial arts off and on for nearly 20 years, I can tell you that both from standing inside the ring, and watching from outside, the core of what you admire is the skill, and the will involved in winning. You don’t watch MMA for the pain, you watch it for the triumph. It may take a…

I think it’s more accurate to say that this is the same Gawker that it’s always been: A slipshod artifice of nonsense “ethical guidelines” that are basically made up on-the-spot, with no overarching project or code that unifies them; because writers are told by their founder, who is possibly the finest media salesman…

Are you shocked though? Genuinely? The Jezebel lens has been very firmly in place for a very long time. It’s what allows this site to unironically criticize fashion magazines and celebrity culture, while reporting fashion and celebrity culture news.

Well, with one breathtakingly dumb paragraph you’ve removed this woman’s entire agency, and reduced her to nothing more than a stupid echo of whatever societal forces you believe shape her. So congratulations. You’ve removed any criminal blame this woman might face by basically saying that she isn’t human, and doesn’t…

Living in a city. The ASPCA statistics are for urban animals. not for animals living in an ideal climate, with no natural predators, and extremely ample food. Also, I probably don’t have to spell out the problem with accepting statistics drawn up by an organization with a purpose, and no references.

Like you said, Luke, it’s goddamn impressive how far this craft has come in such a relatively small amount of time.

The problem is species extinction, which is happening RIGHT NOW. There is NO long-term problem which will successfully remedy this. It needs to happen immediately to preserve other species, and the only immediate thing is a culling. Long-term solutions can be worked out after the rate of extinction slows or stops.

A wild cat at two years old will likely live until 10. They will live longer in an area where they succeed. A cat can live until 20 years old. If species are being killed off NOW, do you expect Australia to wait a decade until the cats die of old age? That’s insane.

And in every car, you get an irritating pubescent boy with psycho-sexual problems who you cannot get rid of.

Full-bore academics are just as likely to fall prey to the disease of treating every problem as an oh-so-coincidental symptom of what they happen to study, live and breathe day-in and day-out.

Actually, he did. Specifically:

Seconded. Acid reflux is a bitch, but it really makes you realize how much sugar is in every glass of these syrupy grosso craft brew beer. Of course you need eight pounds of hops to flavour this sugarwater!

What a wonderful response.

The organizations are qualitatively different though, because while football, hockey and basketball have player associations, long histories and veterans who are there to offer guidance and try to increase safety, UFC has nothing. Increasingly, there’s a spiral suck downwards, where as the UFC starts to grind more…

The tank wall is the correct, and only, way to play Dune 2

Counterpoint: Literally nobody gives a shit about Superman.

100% on this one. Perfection

It’s unfortunate that in the last throes they had to make Wade Wilson the “good guy” who “got done wrong by”, and is out for vengeance.

This is the kind of story told by former jock high schoolers who hate fuckin nerds, but also still want to feel superior to genuinely violent, physically fit people. the kind of story in which everyone's a boob except the author.

Jabs and side kicks? Hmm?
