I 100% support the players for sitting. I wish more would do it. But saying that this hasn’t been a divisive issue is, to paraphrase the author, nonsensical at best and idiotic at worst. I’ve seen plenty of veterans say they’re personally offended by it- your claim that they’re offended because of football is utterly…

edit...

This text message exchange reads to me like simple bluster. Like when you’re texting with a buddy about your boss being an a-hole and they say stuff like “man, we should show up and curse him out/kick his ass/take a dump on his desk!” Taken out of context it sounds like a threat, but in reality it’s just two people…

I believe you meant TittiEconomics.

I’m amazed that this collection of self-evident and childish analysis is being praised by so many people on here. What the heck did y’all think a corporation was if you find this insightful?

Huh? Who says we should “trust” corporations in the way you’re implying? We can trust corporations to do what is in its own interest. Libertarians believe this benefits the public because the corporation can maximize profits by providing the public what it wants, and competition between companies drives down cost. But…

My happiness is immaterial; I don’t know Elon or the employee in question.

I’d be pretty shocked to find out that top 10 draft picks don’t remember who the other guys were the were drafted in the top 10 the same years as them. And I’d be absolutely flabbergasted to learn that the first QB pick in a draft year could not recall the next QB picked in that same draft. So yeah, I think it would…

I don’t think he was planning on submitting his experiment to peer review.

How is nobody pointing out that this is essentially the plot of the “Homer the Smithers” Simpsons episode? All this women needed to do was severely cripple Musk so that he would need a 24 hour assistant again.

“Maybe he didn’t follow through, or the new position was for less pay, or dramatically different duties. Who knows?”

So you’d be happier if he’d realized that he didn’t need her ten years earlier and fired her then??

Great article! As someone without kids, I think if both sides show a little consideration it goes a long way. If you have a birthday party coming up you can invite in such a way that it doesn’t seem mandatory: “Joey is turning 4 and we’re having a big get together on Saturday. If you’d like to, we’d love for you to…

Boy, that sure escalated quickly.

One thing I did was remove my credit card information from all my online sites. Having to punch in the info every single time often makes me think harder about the purchase than I would if I could just click “buy”. It’s a small change, but it can make a big difference if you’re impulse buying stuff off of amazon every…

I agree with the underlying points being made about not caring about PEDs as much as society does, but the actor analogy is pretty specious reasoning. Most frequently, actors get the role THEN bulk up for the part. Non-roided out actors aren’t at a disadvantage because they were able to audition for the part on the…

Thanks! I didn’t want anyone to think I was being a dick on this particular post.

People still find the use of dong here funny? It was great and all a year ago, but geez...

Whoa whoa whoa...I think the lesson from Louis CK and South Park is that for many people the unconscious use of this derogatory term is not in any way meant to refer to gay people, but that doesn’t mean that we should therefore by just fine to use it. Personally, I think the claim the author makes that the use of this…

I’m not sure why deadspin is so deadset at portraying this as a massive boondoggle. The LA proposal doesn’t just address some of the reasons other olympic games have been disasters- it addresses virtually all of them. LA already hosts two baseball teams, two basketball teams, now two football teams, an MLS team, and a…
