Yeah, but that didn't happen. They just gave up on it (I presume because they didn't want it, but maybe they're just completely stupid, too). They didn't get stymied by legal process and say "oh, we're not going to break the law to get this tape." As you admitted, there were legal ways to obtain the tape. So your…

Last night my wife was watching a show called Flea Market Flip where people buy 25 dollar crap, fix it up for a day at a total cost of about 100 more dollars, and then sell it for hundreds. Some people bought a dumbass light fixture made out of metal bands and one of those ugly leaded glass star things for OVER FIVE…

Truly, Jeter's greatness is ethereal.

You might be projecting.

I disagree that male insecurity wasn't on the rise in the 90s and 00s (a period during which I was a teenager and then an adult). You had the whole "sensitive 90s man" thing going on that I don't believe was connected in any way to homophobia but rather as a pendulum swing back from the tough guy 80s. I agree boomer…

I wear baggy clothes not to prevent gay men from looking at me, but because I feel insecure about my body and I don't want anyone seeing it. I don't think most men are that focused on "oh no a gay man might see me" and instead on "god damn this beer gut is gross better wear a looser shirt so I don't look like such a…

The closest I've seen is "porn search history." It's not a parallel situation by a good stretch, but it might generate the spark of empathy you're talking about in some who aren't too far gone.

Your man sounds like a chatbot. Which is funny to me because if I go back and read chats with my wife, I sound like a chatbot too. Ladies be talking a lot am I right fellas? <gets booed off stage>

The way he keeps saying "for the show...your stripes movement" makes it clear he has no idea what he's reading. If you had to read something for radio and you screwed it up on the first pass, would you stop and read through to yourself to get a sense and plan out? It's not like the radio is forcing him to cold read…

Why does Drew, the largest Deadspinner, not simply eat the others?

Do you really think they could go 4-12? God, that would be so great if they could squeeze four wins out of this season.

Oh god, I read the article and my brain autocorrected to 1:45 AM because I couldn't imagine someone getting passed out drunk in the early afternoon.

Don't work any retail, really, which is a pretty sad state of affairs for this country.

FUCK.

Why are you carrying shit in your right hand? Your left hand is the hauling side - keep the right free for dexterous work like your keys. Unless you're one of those shitbag lefties. You are, aren't you?

It seems like you wanna be asked, so I'm asking: why the hate?

Isn't the issue that the transaction fee hurts the store, not that people have to wait 28 fucking seconds?

I understand where you are coming from, but I kind of view it like ignoring phone solicitations. If you take the 3 minutes to tell them not to call you any more, you stop getting calls.

One of the programmers I supervise is like this. He's not awesome at social interaction (might be on the spectrum, who knows) but he knows it and what really helps him is direct feedback. He can't read subtle cues, so I give him direct feedback. If you tell creepy robot dude (without rancor) that the fact that he…

Ha! No, that's cool. I guess from the point of view of the Gawker empire, Deadspin will handle the vanilla sports coverage and Jezebel will handle this aspect of the story. In general, that is.
