Well, you’re not wrong. I often get fucked when doing my taxes.

This is why neighbors should be higher on the list. Most of the entries are accidental “oops you heard us fucking” incidents. Hearing the neighbors fucking once means you are probably going to hear them fucking always. It’s pervasive. And that ... is ... unpleasant.

An unladen swallow?

The OP was probably the writers of HBO’s Game of Thrones, who also believed the best use of a castle wall was to put your defenders on the outside of it.

Here’s a thought: you catch your parent having an affair WITH your spouse.

Trump = king

If he can’t handle mild teasing from a rude 13 year old without flying into a rage, he shouldn’t be raising one.

Who has the bigger disparity between their star power and the quality of their films: Dwayne Johnson or Jennifer Aniston?

No doubt they do believe it’s important, but you have to wonder how much of that is ego. Part of the reason why the NFL wants to grow internationally is because they’ve maxed out the domestic dollars. But that’s because the NFL has a national model that’s based heavily on shared national TV dollars. Adding a team in…

It just isn’t a national sport, and I don’t really have an answers as to how they’d promote their stars as such.

I’d also point out that baseball - much more so than the NFL or NBA - is regionally driven. Last year, while all of TV suffered from cord cutters and declining ratings, MLB saw an increase in its regional broadcasts and the local team was #1 in the ratings in almost every market in primetime. Meanwhile, MLB’s national…

Hopper has been rushing in to dangerous situations alone without telling anyone since Season 1. There was almost an entire episode of plot in Season 2 where Hopper dug into the pumpkin patch and Bob had to interpret Will’s map to find him. Again, this show is an homage to Spielberg-esque 80s movies, where under-prepare…

In all seriousness, it seems like defining “sexual coercion” in pornographic films is difficult. If you agree to participate in a film, and the director says “now do reverse cowgirl or you don’t get paid”, is that sexual coercion or is that “being a director”? GDP is about as vanilla as porn gets, so it’s not like…

Really? What if you get up to go to the bathroom and the ball hits you in the back of the head? There are literally thousands of arguments against it.

Having said all that, pole-to-pole nets are probably the right answer, it’s reasonably low cost and hardly disruptive.

Your big takeaway from this is that ~only~ a couple thousand people get their skulls dented each year?

We keep assuming this is about Trump’s ego, but I worry that his request suggests we are closer to war with Iran and/or North Korea than we suspect. Trump is extraordinarily keen on optics, and I can imagine him thinking that the photos and video of tanks rolling past the White House will send a message to a specific…

I’m all for trashing Ivanka, but is no one going to point out that an article about Ivanka’s lack of qualifications quotes a woman whose qualifications are making the boarderline-child-porn “Teen Steam”?

I’m more interested in understanding why one of the most important people in the franchise couldn’t go 4-5 hours without eating a full meal.

I feel bad that they’re uncomfortable, but also my comfort is the most important thing in the world.
