I took care of myself in my 20s but have spent my 30s raging, very excited to see when my body finally falls off the cliff.

One Finals appearance, zero titles.

Honestly between managing the needs of LeBron and dealing with the constant media spotlight, the Lakers might be the only job worse than the Suns.

Honestly I wasn’t but wasn’t the whole thing with Lost that the viewers were all wrong and the showrunners never had a plot to begin with?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a show before where literally all the viewers were smarter and understood the plot better than the showrunners .

During one game, Kate Lynn stampeded over Justin repeatedly, which, of course, did wonders for his fledgling self-esteem. After the third knockdown, I quietly pulled him aside and advised: “Remember that rule about never hitting a girl. Let’s suspend that for the next 40 minutes.” But he never did because she was…

IMO this is where the geographic variance of the US really comes in handy. If you live in Mississippi or Oklahoma or Arizona you’re already hundreds of miles away from an MLS club and have weak ties to whichever club you adopt. Much easier to pitch the promotion aspect — not only can you support a major-league club…

Yes, imagine if there was a NFL franchise which played in a 150k municipal area instead of a large metropolis. They’d probably have no fans and be unable to field a competitive team, unlike teams in stronger markets like Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Atlanta.

If Coeur d’Alene FC got promoted all the way to MLS and had to play their home games in a high school stadium, who would that be bad for exactly?

Also, let’s say you live outside the 30 major league cities in your sport....say someplace like Fargo. What’s a higher high — picking a team at random you have no ties to and watching them win a championship? Or getting to root for your hometown team and watching them ascend all the way to the major leagues?

First off, pro/rel has nothing to do with top 6 dominance — that’s 100% a result of the disparity between the budgets of those teams and the rest of the league.

I admittedly don’t have a ton of experience with Nazis IRL, but my understanding is that when they do Nazi stuff, they generally do it when think they’re alone, amongst other Nazis, or part of a demonstrative group — not while sitting at a dinner table with their multiracial coworkers.

Ah, but you see, that’s the real key to creating a profitable industry — have the government build out the backbone of the infrastructure and develop the technology needed at its own cost, then once it’s up and running and gets to critical user mass, sell it off cheaply to private parties in shady backroom deals.

LOL no way, mass transit should be cheaper. The problem (as 8ties Music in the Classroom and TheMarketSoftener mentioned) is that we’ve been conditioned to think that any common public good should be privatized and obey the laws of profit. Mass transit saves its riders gas money/vehicle maintenance and frees them to…

It’s because we’re a nation of lawyers, and we’ve turned reasonable human judgment in unclear situations into WHAT CAN YOU PROVE WHEN I SUE YOU

lmao

I’m also in favor of seeing Swaggy P in Space Jam 2. Just imagine one of the Monstars taking his skills and losing the game to LeBron’s team because the Nick Young alien can’t stop chucking threes.

The downside here is the risk that Young’s ceiling might be more Devin Booker than Damian Lillard

According to their respective idioms those are things you shouldn’t be doing so frankly I find them to be well-adjusted voices of reason.

I don’t have small children but I do work with a lot of adults who act like small children. So when they lie about doing something, may I humbly suggest: “Okay great, thanks for having done that, now please do it again.”
