This is a perfect example of an #iamverysmart comment. You make a statement with the attitude “I will show this dumbass” and yet don’t understand at all what it means to have a PhD. Getting a PhD in a science like psychology DEFINITELY has a lot to do with math and statistics. Psychology research, like any other…

Uh... it reads to me exactly as the author intended: that poker has no physical component, and so is easier to “go pro” in than a physical sport. Don’t assume that your odd reading of something is how other people also read it.

So it’s not just a clever name, then?

One sentence three separate clauses. Just as Her PhD has nothing to do with the legendary player as coach, the claim that poker is a mental game has nothing to do with the PhD. He even used an oxford comma to make it clear. As for the phrase purely mental: it’s true poker does take place in the physical realm with…

What? All I meant was that there was no physical component to it.

There is only one day off between each game, so he wouldn’t get more than three days off unless they decided to rest him from now until Game 5. In any event, this was one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard. Who in the fuck would sit the world’s greatest player for a playoff game to try to get him some extra rest?…

Nothing says “alpha male” like layered t shirts.

On Friday, administrators at Camden Catholic, a high school in Cherry Hill, told history teacher Nick Strom he wouldn’t be retained for next year.

I can’t even remember the last time I watched a CD.

Pretty sure this guy is president of Petty Inc, now that Tom’s dead:

Which is ironic because she’s only sitting where she is today because of her father. No one would ever hire her if she was Jane Doe.

her father is basically dying, yet she’s spending her time shit-stirring and spreading GOP disinformation on daytime tv.

There really is something police can do about it, or at least try to do about it - it would probably take going above the heads of patrol officers to police administration, though, and showing just how many times police have been called. Of course, that depends on how sympathetic the adminstration of that particular…

Exactly. Historically more qualified women or people of color were passed over for less qualified white men, AND it was more difficult for women and people of color to *become* qualified in the first place because they were always passed over. What he fails to see (or he sees it but won’t acknowledge it) is that…

Lol by his own admission, his career “has surely benefited”from sexism and racism but if making things more equal takes away those benefits, that’s super unfair.

I can’t tell if Cohen is doing this on purpose or if he really is that stupid.

White girls can cry wolf and ruin any man’s life, not just black guys’.

Well, as I said in the original comment, 99.999999% of the calls were nothing. Which implies that .000001% were something.

That’s some mealy-mouthed bullshit right there. “What’s the plan going forward?” Might as well ask him “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”

Translation: Seahawks brass didn’t like that the truth leaked, and called another stooge to kick some dirt around the facts.
