Maybe he could be on a season of The Amazing Race and parlay that into an appointment as Secretary of Transportation.

that is not enough to pass judgment on a person there has to be more. We have a system (again, the failings of the legal system are another topic altogether) to ascertain guilt or innocence. We the public are not provided with all the information.

Don’t be fatuous, SoSM.

Good lord that is terrifying.

That sounds terrible, but I think I’d be crying and kicking chairs too if someone tried to make me watch The Cell.

I literally do not understand what you are arguing for or against. But congrats on being super hostile about whatever cryptic and muddled point you are trying to make-- that’s top-notch Kinja!

I’ve been a Miami Dolphins fan since ‘83 and an Everton fan for the last 8 years. I’m so full of despair that I’m not even sure that I exist anymore.

Airport security is the one place where a sweatpant-wearing slob like me really comes into his own.

Yeah, but Rothfuss has his own issues. Where are HIS pages? Why won’t he stop playing D&D on Youtube and get writing?

This made me cringe so hard I think I’m going to need medical attention.

Melt it down, separate the component metals, make ingots, bury them in your backyard, and wait for the inevitable apocalyptic collapse of society.

I send people predictive text poetry -- just type a couple of letters to start and let predictive text choose words from there. I usually end up sounding like a deranged mid-level corporate manager.

Ditto. It keeps a lot of sociopaths busy and away from other, more enjoyable multiplayer games.

I played for a short time but ended up losing interest when I realized that a lot of the character progression mechanics were lifted directly from Progress Quest.

Somehow in 2017 the prospect of playing a game where a bunch of young libertarian-leaning dudes can exploit the system to destroy things I worked hard to create doesn’t hold all that much appeal.

Same. I have huge hands and trying to type with my thumbs gives me about the same result as rolling my face across my computer keyboard.

White suburban fear may see a group of nonwhite tweens as a “mob,” but I’m pretty sure that the laws in California aren’t going to agree that discharging a firearm is the correct response to getting shoved by an eighth-grader.

He’s an off-duty officer out of his jurisdiction. He is detaining a minor for unclear reasons. He is choosing to escalate the situation rather than refer it to proper authorities. He is 100% responsible for everything that follows his decision to illegally detain a 13 year old child.

Are you looking for someone to say that forcefully detaining a 13 year old and discharging a firearm near a crowd of bystanders is the appropriate response to “being messed with”?
