Tell me more!

The Founding Fathers were all rich as shit and they hated their country so much they started a new one.

A classic. Great essay.

Can we replace the ordinary GameCube controller with the WaveBird?

Here’s a winner I got recently.

Whitey Failed

The problem with the only carry-on rule is that, now that everyone’s doing it, it makes getting onto the plane into this super-stressful task because everybody wants to get on in time to get carry-on space (which is not nearly plentiful enough on most planes for everyone to have one of those giant roller bags) so now…

I don’t know, I find this worrisome. Won’t this just end up with TVs all looking like the display TVs at Best Buy with the brightness cranked ridiculously high and the images oversaturated? I want TVs that look more like real life, not ones that boost colors to make everything look more colorful than real life.

Are you generally a supporter of the sex offender registry?

Your ability to parse hyperbole is questionable. And there’s not just slim and fat versions. Look at XBox One - the original, a slim version of the original, and a more powerful version. Or the 3DS and New 3DS. And more fragmentation is coming.

It’s funny that after years of console fans saying that fragmentation in the PC world was a reason to get a console, there’s now like a half dozen versions of every console.

Almost as if geek culture just is the dominant popular culture in the world, has been for years, and the geek pretense that they’re a marginalized group is just an excuse to behave badly!

I mean he’s so good, he’d be world class without PEDs even if he is on them. He’s once in a lifetime.

Since the question was specifically about the country, and bearing in mind that this kind of suspicion should never discredit any particular athlete, it’s worth mentioning that Jamaica has notoriously lax drug testing.

What can Parker do to remove himself from the cloud of judgment later in his life? Is rehabilitation possible? Should he live under the weight of judgment for a crime he was acquitted of for the rest of his life? How is that consonant with basic principles of social justice?

What do you mean, the facts don’t bear it out? Does the fact that he was acquitted mean literally nothing? I understand people want to confront the devastation of sexual assault. But carceral feminism is not the answer. And building an assumption that literally nothing can exonerate someone once accused is carceral…
