Wait, why is the accent important in this role? This is a fictional planet. I genuinely don’t understand how the accent is somehow central to his character beyond matching supposed family members, and plenty of families have differing accents from one another.

I think y’all are making the same point. M42 is saying that if the situation were Tom Cruise as the minority in a setting like that, he’d be asked about his whiteness. Your story seems to corroborate that.

Huh? The Mets went to the World Series within the last 5 years and are a playoff bubble team this year and couple others since that as well. I can’t find stats on Mets games either, but I’m curious to see where they fall in the MLB in televised games. Let me know if you have stats on that

Did you mean to reply to me or someone else?  

Why do people think that the NYC sports market is held to a different standard? Pre-salary cap in the major 4 sports, I understand that you could make more in NYC as a player and could therefore take the chance for higher money and higher scrutiny. In the current era though, why the fuck would anyone want to play in a…

You’re absolutely right. Exit row > Window seat (so you can fully lean against it without being disturbed) > Aisle (just the limit the potential human contact to one neighbor) > Middle.

When is the last time that you got into a real fist fight? I’m putting my money on both “in the last ten minutes” and “never in my life”, and fading any option in the middle.

WHY DID I HAVE TO SCROLL SO FAR TO SEE OUR LADY PEACE. MY GOD. 

It’s not clear enough in the headline: This is not affiliated with Golden Girls in any way. They’re basically developing a show about older women that are friends, and likely pitched it using the phrase “...like Golden Girls for the current generation”. So, if you have childhood ties to Golden Girls, they should be…

Oh yeah, I like some hacky shit, which equates more to bad taste than stupidity. I cop to what I like. HOWEVER, coming to an opinion blog and congratulating yourself for predicting that both sides of an opinion would be represented is a little closer to the latter than the former.

I’m a Studio 60 defender, which potentially makes me the worst person in this thread. Loved it, have rewatched many times.  I request that you forward all hate mail to my work address, please. 

You had the foresight to think that an article stating an opinion would inspire comments from people with a different opinion? Truly an oracle!

WHY IS HE SHOOTING LONG TWOS?

Uh, it has wireless charging. So, if you need the port for wired headphones, you can still charge via wireless. Am I missing something?

We knew you’d be here, bud. 

Also, the best talent is more likely to go to a state where they can also get paid while waiting for NFL eligibility. So, if the talent pool in CA is much stronger than it otherwise would be, people are more likely to watch the higher talent level, which would have a cascading effect. 

Very nice handle and final sentence synergy.

Seriously. As a Tiger’s fan, the Dombrowski years were the most successful since the 80's. I’d be happy to have him back.

That’s a strawman argument, so feel free to continue that on your own. There are a great number of differences between eating at a restaurant and buying a video game. 

Indeed, it’s an argument on definition. You’re choosing to die on the hill of a fundamental misunderstanding of the word “generous”.
