I will never understand the balk rule, as long as I may live.
I just wish that the conversations around these issues, here, didn’t always dissolved into “either you pepper your dialogue with #woke cliches to show that you are One of the Good Ones or else you’re #GamerGate.” We’re seeing, more and more, a political realization that many people employ the discourse of social…
If you’re the kind of jerkass who is constantly looking for reasons to slag women’s college basketball, you could point to UConn’s wire-to-wire dominance as a sign that the sport is stale and boring.
“Even if he was 100% legitimate,when he nationalized the oil fields and started setting up communist style communes there was very little choice.”
Every claim of fact in your comment is wrong.
To many in the West, Iran is an indistinct enemy power that seems perpetually embroiled in internal conflict, a country currently led by a volatile leadership with dangerous nuclear ambitions.
So let me say this as a guy with a torn labrum in both shoulders from years of repetitive stress from benching all the time with inadequate rest. (Forgive me; I was 18 when I started.) It’s really essential that you get your elbow position right so that you’re not putting too much stress on either the shoulders or the…
The only hitch
But this is also why simply paying players, as morally necessary as it is, is not nearly sufficient. The entire farce needs to end. NCAA football and basketball shouldn’t exist; instead, the huge and rich professional leagues should build or expand honest to god minor leagues for developmental purposes where athletes…
Cause Cold Stone says so!
The bigger question is whether this is a healthy state of affairs.

No, the real TL;DR is “Being part of a movement to make the world a better place should be a higher priority than engaging in obligatory political signaling that has no real-world value.”
This comment betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of social construction: the fact that something is socially constructed, and thus malleable, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or isn’t real or doesn’t produce real change in the world. The concept of justice is entirely socially constructed, and yet it has powerful…
Yes, indeed: it is my “hot take” that empty progressive signaling on a video game blog is less important than the task of convincing others of our need to reform masculinity norms.
And masculinity is an antiquated concept.
