I’m setting it at 2.5. There’ll be one troublemaker/conscious kid, and some friend who’ll do it with him. The question is if the other players care, like them, and/or hate the principal more than they fear potential repercussions.

Senior receiver Stephen James, cleared to play his first game of the season after suffering a separated shoulder during summer workouts, added, “I’m really looking forward to the opportunity coach is giving me with everybody out. You can’t ask for more than being the number one option against a five-star ‘Bama recruit…

It’s from Game of Thrones. The word that accompanies the image is “shame,” repeated about 30,000 times.

Great exchange rates for ATMs while traveling internationally. Not that anyone would be leaving the country, of course...

That’s a deep cut. I don’t know how many at the games studied 18th century British verse, though, so it’d be a bit like using an invisible jet for the flyover.

Legally, no. But I bet a lot of people would crowdsource your bail.

Collins: “What do we have to lose?”

Really feels like he misinterpreted that PornHub commission for “POV Cheerleader Smash”.

Machiavelli didn’t fare that much better than Stark: he got kicked out of Florence (by religious extremists) when the politics shifted away from what he advocated for. It’s also debated how much is honest and how much is satire.

I think it was Selena, based on the Bad Blood video. Course, that was for a music video...not real life.

Game of the Year, every year! 15 years and counting!

You can say what you will about Honda’s designs and styling, but their safety and post-collision parts valuation is top notch. Walked away from being t-boned last year in a 2004 CRV with a strained knee, some mild whiplash, and a decent insurance payout that let me quit my second job as a delivery driver.…

VanHungry took the trolley back up every night. San Francisco, divorced parents, breakfast with mom but dinner with dad, you know the drill.

I would point out that Ed Sheehan is, like the artists I listed above, a man (and I don’t particularly like his music either; again, a subjective, personal taste that is both shared and disputed by many people), but I will give you Swift’s charity work.

I’m a man, so you can take this with a grain of salt if you want, but I’m also not about to make a straw man argument, so here’s three reasons in least- to most-personal order:

Let me start this time by saying that I don’t disagree with much of what you’ve said. I’m not saying that the nuggets or soap things were necessarily bad; that’s Haisley’s thesis. I’m just saying that this seems to be a progression of existing setups and trends.

Not the same as what? Any of the examples I presented, or (a) specific one(s)?

If we’re being honest about what these really are, we’re seeing Twitter-negotiated sponsorships for the public. Little different from the (occasionally insightful but often grating) sponsored posts on Gizmodo Group or by “influencers”, the corporation promises or offers a quantity of goods for services rendered or…

Not according to census data, college applications, etc. By the US gov’t’s standards, Türkoglu and any other Levantine/Turkic/Middle Eastern individuals count as “white/Caucasian”. But strictly geographically? Yes, Asia Minor is still Asia.

Counterpoint: The red, dismissive face directly above said tie. That’s a racist face if I’ve ever seen one.
