The second best thing (behind the food) about those establishments usually isn’t even the soccer and beer, it’s the SERIOUSLY excited older soccer fans hanging out and basically turning it into a sports bar, small taco joint be damned. I love that.

This is a hell of a lot weirder in most bars than just watching the tv. Most bars are trying to make people comfortable, not forcing them to fend for themselves.

There’s a bar by my office that shows Wheel and Jeopardy religiously at dinner time, and the bartenders are RIDICULOUSLY fucking good at wheel.

Admittedly I’ve only gone with my gay friends (might be weirder alone), but I’ve never once been frowned upon or treated unkindly for going to a gay bar.... so long as you’re civil and treat the bar, its staff, and its patrons with respect. Kinda like any bar, actually.

And a sort of unreasonable article given that the author acknowledges the reasonable position... and then creates a false predicate to “rebut” it only after adding “any bar that purposefully and regularly shows sports and has the energy of a place that shows sports and the decor of a place that shows sports and is…

Yeah if the bar you’re going to happens to be a place with good food and drinks that you might go alone, say because you’re a regular and you just like the food and drinks and you say hello to the bartenders and make idle conversation briefly, but they have a job to do and can’t hang out with you most of the time ....…

My family is sensitive to both. Very few people have it. I’m not allergic in the anaphylaxis sense, it’s an intolerance in that it fucks up my digestive track in flu-like ways. Some enzyme we can’t digest I guess. NOBODY believes me so I don’t even tell restaurants, I just ask what I need to know and let them think…

Yeah secret ingredients are a TOTALLY different animal. Some restaurants don’t like listing ingredients for various reasons, but then are surprised when someone is sensitive to something they didn’t expect. I have a friend who gets sneak attacked by cilantro all the time (tastes like bitter soap to her) and they…

Same, except I bought a new G600 just after Christmas. It’s technically still returnable, but I’d probably have to pay return shipping and frankly it was worth the $40 I paid... ehh. That’s an elite mouse for $25 though, cannot recommend enough.

It seems less than obvious that such a law would withstand constitutional scrutiny. I’d hoped that the link you put under “federal law” would be to some source examining the question of federal law... but it’s just to your article on the same topic from 6 years ago.

Do not put the coaches in uniforms. Doughy MLB coaches in uniforms look HORRIBLE. Honestly, most idiot fans in jerseys look horrible. Clothing designed to be worn by athletes rarely looks good on non-atheletes.

Brady could have knocked this guy’s teeth out and no jury in Massachusetts would convict him. Too bad Tom’s punching hand is worth more than this guy’s teeth.

Yeah but you’re his dad. It’s your job to address when he’s being an annoying little pissant—and also your job to step in if someone comes at him.

Don’t take it to goodwill. Write this up in a formal letter, and send it back to MSU.

This deserves more love.

Was it this beaut of a Sony Dream Machine?

Uhh, yeah there is, and isn’t the latter distinctly worse?

Fair.

That was so.... so boss. It’s like “hi guys, glad you put some window dressing on this... too bad you didn’t bother to tell the world that we still have athletes training there, GUESS I’LL PUT IT IN THE FEDERAL RECORD SINCE YOU FORGOT TO.”

The only part I didn’t like about this was the “I’m an adult” part. I think it should be patently fucking obvious that, while she may have been forced to grow up too fast and deserved to do things on her own terms at her own pace, Aly Raisman is also one hell of an adult.
