He isn’t nearly good enough for me to be okay with this.

You live by a bunch of billionaire shitheads born into wealth, you die by a bunch of billionaire shitheads born into wealth.

It isn’t just about the association with black people, though. It’s about his implication that you get put in a ghetto because you aren’t good enough, rather than because the larger society is racist or anti-Semitic. Use of “ghetto” as slang for “cheap” or “dirty” is offensive for the same reason: it suggests that the…

We’re at this odd place in society where we’ve realized it’s shitty to some people, the way things had been, but haven’t fully thought through and explored the implications of changing all that and how the new society will look.* While society transitions, there will be situations that people find confusing or…

Would you agree he was using it in a perjorative sense?

When I moved to Europe, I left pretty much all my electronics behind except this beard trimmer. The only reason I own a voltage transformer is to charge it, which I only need to do about once a month. Accept no substitutes.

I think sportsmanship is important but I don’t agree - every call the potential to change the outcome, and you don’t want a system where players or coaches are second-guessing every call officials make, especially if doing so undermines their competitiveness. Look at how much more unwatchable football has become with…

RGIII: “Your knee’s okay.” My knee! I coulda taken the NFC East apart! So what happens? Kirk Cousins gets a shot at the playoffs and I get a one-way ticket to Texas. You was my coach, Jay, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda took care of me so I didn’t have to take them concussions for short-end…

This obviously qualifies as satire, so PSG and Emirates can fuck right off.

When people started saying, “That’s so ghetto.”

Why is their agreement a relevant factor? Schools walk out of conferences all the time. If 24 top tier schools all walk out together and set up their own thing, the NCAA is going to bend over backwards to make sure they get a piece of that pie. That’s exactly how the Premier League was founded: the entire top flight…

Come on, Mid Tennessee is this close to having a breakout season.

I get that the State of Israel is problematic and all, but can we get a BDS movement going on Texas?

You prefer a system where incoming freshmen are saddled with the “sin” of being in a stronger conference?

You jest, but you’re not wrong. The FBS and now the playoffs share the same problem that the old system had, which is that they’re all, at heart, completely arbitrary. College football’s biggest issue is that too many good teams play too many games against shitty opponents because they happen to be in the same…

Only one Bradford. And when your high card is Sam Bradford, you’re in serious trouble.

I think the idea was that GQ and Esquire attract a higher-income audience, which are thuswise more attractive to advertisers.

I think it’s also that we don’t talk as much about things men can do right, either in their approach or in the circumstances they choose. Over the years I’ve read plenty of threads on Jez and elsewhere, and had plenty of conversations with female friends and acquaintances, detailing times men approached them that were…

I can’t speak for all men, but I’ve sort of given up on the real-life approach. Too often I hear (online and IRL) women complaining about guys randomly hitting on them in public places. Maybe I’m just too egocentric and it isn’t meant to be about me, but I don’t want to make someone uncomfortable or creeped out so I…

It’s very meta, and in addition to meta being over, it still misses the point.
