counterpoint - online personals sites in general were affected by the bill that was passed. is the free accessible and relatively vettable services offered by personals sites like craiglist worth more than the lives of thousands of young people that are trafficked? of course not. nonetheless, it was a liberty for many…

all the more reason we need to stop pretending middle school aged and high school aged youths are “children” incapable of independent or intelligent though.

this young woman who recorded this video implies that “oh noes! we’re impressionable children who will automatically agree with everything our teacher says!”

of…

So... negotiating for a salary that’s competitive within the existing market is vain? Seriously?

Setting aside the fact that this video series exists exclusively to make 90s kids sports fans mad, I agree.

If he were any good at bunting no team would ever play this shift against him. I’m not gonna call you a moron but I want to.

i never really fucked with horses growing up, so i had no serious preconceived notions about eating horsemeat.

I don’t know if I’m more shocked that MSU administrators felt that reading some tweets was a daunting task or that the shysters at Weber Shadwock had the gall to bill upwards of 200/hr for what could have been a cupcake homework assignment for a middle school social studies class.

In that case, you’re not interested in having a relevant discussion that has anything to do with the subject at hand.

and for that reason, d2 isn’t terrible, because benny the jet rodriguez on skates who can’t figure out how to stop because he’s too fast?! hello?!

Rookie of the Year

...d2 might have been an overpriced marketing scheme for the hockey team, but not the first film.

the only reason the nhl team exists is because of how popular the first film was. not the other way around. i know some poor slobs who liked the nhl team too, especially in the mid 2000s when they *won the friggin’…
