Tom Clancy stories are the equivalent of the 50 Shades books for guys with wraparound sunglasses and “thin blue line” flag bumper stickers.

why are you guys like this

You’re right. They shouldn’t take any kind of stand until there’s a gun at their head.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame Splinter for, like, two jackasses in the comments.

It was fun laughing about this until it struck me that there are literally tens of millions of people for whom this is some real, no-bullshit, truth bomb cinema, then I just got sad. 

Um because of the hypocrisy.

I realize in this political climate, there’s no possible way this film won’t be divisive, but all that aside, it looks so charming and absurd, like Moonrise Kingdom by way of In the Loop. I look forward to ignoring the conversation around it and just enjoying a new Waititi film. 

cunts are have depth and use, and are warm. She possesses none of those qualities.

your definition of “right” seems to be “the most literal minded interpretation of the rules possible” and that sucks, the tottenham/city arm ball thing was ludicrous (i’m a spurs fan and they should have lost, went on to lose to newcastle anyway), as is offsides calls where someone’s shoulder is sticking out in front…

I think you’re drastically overestimating how much wind is generated from a highway.  Sure, if you’re standing on a shoulder you’ll feel a breeze from a semi going by, but it’s momentary and not that strong, plus it’s almost completely non-directional/turbulent.  There’s really no good way to harness it, and most…

This is the kind of failure I’m 100% OK with as long as they get some serious learning out of it.  We’ll never accomplish anything if we don’t try!

Ian Holloway issues a public complaint that people didn’t listen to what he actually said about VAR by demanding that they carefully review the video of what he said about VAR.

“He died as he lived: in a small nylon bag.”

I did this once, and 18 months later, boom! Dead battery. Never again.

Possession is nine tenths the law

I know a lot of people are going to be making jokes about this Werder’s physical appearance, and I just want to point out that it’s not okay to body-shame. This is true even of demographics not usually subject to body-shaming, because, if we’re being honest with ourselves, nobody likes a hypocrite. And maybe the world…
