Yes, he is reading something and also reporting. 

That’s a lot of words to type to simply say that you hate fun, man. 

Couldn’t cosign this more. My old roommate had a drinking problem, and he got loaded one night and made a bunch of spaghetti. Cut to 20 minutes later, he was passed out on his back, puking the spaghetti and unable to clear his throat. I ran in to help him and had to fight with his dead weight to roll him over and…

That’s fair! I’m just thinking of all the times I’ve told people why an ex didn’t like me anymore, and I’ve got to be honest, I was probably a teensy bit generous to myself. 

Wait, this is the editor of the Freep’s assessment of why Verlander doesn’t like his reporter? He/the Freep seem to benefit greatly from saying that it’s the most innocuous of transgressions, when there seems to be other cases of the reporter being kind of a wang to JV.

This phrase “The exception that proves the rule” has always been dumb to me, until this moment. Those asterisks are the least strong exceptions I can imagine.

I ended up accidentally recruiting Lysithea while playing as the Black Eagles during the fight where you’re supposed to kill her.  Now she’s out here killing for me.  I’m not sure how I pulled it off, honestly. 

He’s dying? I know he had health issues a few years ago when he first started in Cleveland, but I haven’t seen anything really since then. And he’s trying to coach again while dying? I’m not a doctor, but to a layperson, that seems inadvisable. 

I agree that it would have been better to sass the reporter face-to-face from a personal standpoint, but if the reporter is present while you’re answering other questions, the reporter can still pull any of those quotes for their post game article. If you are able to deny them access, they have to wait until other…

I don’t think that anything media related is grounds for suspension under the current CBA, but someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

I say this as a Tigers fan: The Tigers didn’t beat JV, the Astros offense beat Verlander. Dude pitched a good game and should have won.

After reading that dude’s twitter, I’d rather pay the fine and tell him to fuck off. Beat writers get their pull quotes in the postgame press times, so that’s really the best way to do get one over on him, and a meaningless fine is not a big deal for him. 

Do you mean to say that greyhound racing has no human cost, or just that it has no cost generally? I disagree with both statements, but your statement as written is much more disagreeable.

I always look for you on articles relating to Detroit sports figures.  Just wanted you to know I’m here, and that I support you. 

My undergrad was in sociology and philosophy, so I spent a lot of time in classes with people like the OP describes. It is infuriating to those trying to learn, and they deserve to be shamed. I’m not sure why you’re defending people that think they’ve ascended to the final panel of the brain meme as a college…

I had to check the profile to see if there were other posts, because holy smokes, that is too on the nose.

To play Devil’s Advocate, I haven’t been following AD/the Lakers closely and didn’t know that he preferred to play the 4. It wasn’t until the last paragraph that this was mentioned, and seeing between the headline and the first few paragraphs, I was reading this through the lens of “The Lakers already have a forward…

I’ve got a couple of issues with this math, but I don’t want to seem like I’m arguing against your core premise, because we’re on the same side here. I just don’t know where the Guardian is getting that number, which seems to be very high and in some places in the article, only for one leg (they specify return flight…

I’ve got to take issue with the factors you’re using in this comment. It’s certainly not insignificant, but that’s overstating the emissions associated with air travel. Some quick sample calcs:

Can you cite the “200x” claim? I work in the sustainability industry and do carbon accounting for large companies, and I’m not sure which aircrafts you’re using to get that factor of difference. Private jets are always more carbon intensive per passenger mile, but it’s typically closer to ~4x worse depending on the…
