It’s really nice to hear privileged people acknowledge and own their privilege, and make an effort to see things from other, less privileged viewpoints.

But... the reason he was elected was largely due to sites trying to make fun of him and thus giving him huge amounts of press representation. All the other candidates who were given very little press simply disappeared - not because they were inferior candidates, but because they weren’t given the same coverage.

But most of all, fuck people who think like that.

So you only work in absolutes. Relativism has no place in the work force? Got it.

Isn’t Starbucks one of the best case scenarios for lower wage workers? It was my understanding that they have been offering benefits and stuff for years before anyone gave that to service industry workers.

So I’m told. I prefer hosting. Honestly, I really enjoy being responsible for folks having a good time.

I’m really struggling to understand why folks are deciding, without any supporting facts, that this rule is about money.

This is essentially like pulling out when she is 37 weeks pregnant. It’s a tad too late.

They just don’t want this guy to be the only one associating football with plaque.

OOh you don’t like anyone. How edge.

Because I was evaluating the play of their quarterback and their offense, which both have a chance to be historically good. Apples, meet oranges.

Didn’t say they weren’t good, just that Ryan’s MVP cred and the historic pace of their offense still has some big challenges ahead. They still have to play Eagles-Cardinals-Chiefs, after which their schedule gets appreciably easier. I probably could have been more clear about that. Thanks.

“Granted he probably tried to frame a reporter for possession of coke once”

On the one hand it’s a frivolous story; on the other hand, reporters making assertions on which they base confident explanations of how things work without having looked into them or knowing what they’re talking about is both inherently bad and probably part of why we have a racist pro-wrestling heel with a non-zero…

Yeah. Fuck that guy for trying to teach me something.

Yeah, this seems hypocritical. Tyson sources facts from Wikipedia for the sake of creating interesting tweets highlighting how far we’ve come as a society in the 108 years since the Cubs last won the world series. Interesting, and engaging.

So you’ve chosen the “fuck Neil DeGrasse Tyson” hill to die on, huh.

The money for them is just the same as playing golf for 5 bucks with your buddies on the weekend. It’s just a way to formalize bragging rights.

Since 2009, Alex Smith has never had a YAC higher than 8th in the league (2015, his only top 10 finish). He’s mostly been bottom 15. The top 5 each year are the usual suspects: Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Manning, Rivers, Stafford, Big Ben, Luck, etc. Not really sure what your point is here if all the top quarterbacks in…

Yeah but for us Lions fans, we have that regardless.
