You literally have no idea what you are talking about.

Timothy Burke, Deadspin Video Director... Perfect. I have a question. Why are your videos so horrible? HD is kind of standard now, isn’t it? I keep seeing reposted video clips from twitter, facebook and other similarly low resolution garbage. It’s like we’ve taken a step backwards. 

Yeah, it must be from playing football. Because all those mental illness traits never happen to people who don’t play football.

“Can we get some love?” Can we get some HD? Why do people use twitter for video? I’m learning not to even bother clicking on twitter video’s ‘cause they suck so bad.

“At my company we had a generous sick/vacation policy. We also would make exceptions if someone got sick and couldn’t afford to miss the time. Trouble is, too many people look at sick time as free vacation and would use it up in the first couple of months then come in sick later on...sigh.”

I never said anything about “evil corporations”. I understand how capitalism (mostly) works to societies benefit. I actually agree with most everything you said. I understand the economic model that drives Walmart and I understand that most of us benefit from the lower prices. That doesn’t mean I have to like shopping…

I would rather pay 950 and have bigger seats, bigger bathrooms, and less people on the plane. And no, I don’t want to pay 3 times that for business, or 10 times that for first class. I just think economy class has become a race to the bottom. The airlines compete with each other to continuously squeeze a tiny bit more…

Yeah, if only they could come up with a universal indication that you should stop. I don’t know, like a stop light. Or two. Someone driving a truck who makes a conscious decision to run a red light is truly putting other people’s lives in jeopardy in a very obvious way. As the story indicates, there are signs and…

I’m done clicking on video clips that come from twitter. HD has been around for awhile now. Use it.

Why, why, why are video highlights and replays from twitter being used all the time now? They are horrible. We have a thing called hd now. It’s become almost standard. Yet I keep seeing more and more shitty twitter video.

I think sleek means something different from what you think it means.

I don’t see anything wrong with it. The old way it was just too easy to roll through the stop signs barely slowing down. The new way isn’t necessarily more dangerous, it’s more psychological. The narrower defined lanes and slightly better defined corner cause people to slow down and also cause them to come closer to…

So he was out there climbing by himself? That doesn’t seem very smart.

Which is exactly why most girls are more likely than dudes to really try to avoid eye contact.

Why am I seeing more and more videos in crappy twitter standard def quality picture?

Lighten up Francis.

This is silly. People have these terrible memories of rear while drive cars in the snow. It has nothing to do with rear drive, it has to do with the tires of the era... horrible, hard compound tires, even if you used “snow” tires of the time. And open differentials. That makes it a 1 wheel drive car with horrible…

It’s produced by/for Facebook, so I’m not sure if this is a good example of why to cut the cable.

Easy to say. You have no idea how much it would cost to bury all the power lines. It’s not a realistic solution. For any new construction, it’s an option, but the cost to go back and bury every utility line is nearly unimaginable.

Inland Pacific Northwest here... Does anyone else call their cars “rigs”? This is Rural/Farm/Ranch country for the most part. Most any personal vehicle, be it a car, SUV, or pickup is called a rig. Is this a regional thing or a rural/redneck thing?
