Kinja jokes reach a new low. Congrats.

Why is it 2015 and paid sportswriters are still using FG% like it means something?

Writing budget policy for an institution with basically limitless resources ... that’s hard?

Your moral high ground doesn’t pay for diapers, pal.

Uh, no. He’s not playing like a superstar, unless by superstar you mean “volume shooter.”

I’ll wait ‘til it’s fixed. Will not buy, will not play. Is that really so hard?

FOOTBALL SEPARATES THE BOYS FROM THE MEN, MOSTLY BECAUSE SOME OF THE PLAYERS NEVER MAKE IT TO LEGAL ADULTHOOD

Skyrim is a monument in first-person RPGs, but damn if those instances didn’t get boring after you go through each version (cave, redoubt, etc.) a few times, especially considering how few rewards there were for exploring the overworld. Hoping Fallout 4 has a ton of variety, and palpable rewards for seeking out the…

Small sample size. It’s easy to have historic averages when one of your four games was a historic performance. He’ll continue to be an all-NBA performer, as he has been since he entered the league. I hope he does improve, though, because I was sick of the “Greg Monroe is a star and Drummond is a paint-clogger”…

He’s led the league in offensive rebounds for the past two seasons and was 1st or 2nd in TRB% too over that time. The narrative is fun, but this is simply an example of a guy getting more PT and — surprise — his stats climbing at the same rate.

fuck that noise

OH SHIT THE BIG GAME EXPERIENCE IS HERE, DEFINITELY READY FOR THE BIG TIME

this is best Kinja ever

the point is that you are missing the crucial distinction between prescriptivism and descriptivism

I’m a Knicks fan, which is somehow worse. I just made this burner to defend Jason Kidd’s insane productivity over the course of his career. I might take the occasion now to mention that he is a domestic abuser and drunk.

There’s a difference between being prescriptive and descriptive. The reality is that any kind of product only able to be afforded by 1% of the population is a class luxury, and the reality is that the way you present to other people is a component in how you will be treated.

Oh, absolutely. I definitely don’t have a terminal degree in my field, and I definitely think that what you wear makes no difference, which is why I try to advance my career without thinking of social mores, which enables me to wear cumstains on all of my sweatsuits in public.

We’re not talking about a civil servant, whose job is to treat everyone as though they should have the same access to services. This is an upscale jewelry store, which sells class-distinguishing goods. The amount of anti-classism rhetoric in this thread over a fucking class-distinguishing material good is fucking…

WOW NICE PUN KEEP UP THE BRILLIANT WORK

I’m not judging anyone here, but noting a trend. It’s like when I was in undergrad: it’s one thing to wear sweatpants to a 300-person lecture, but don’t wear them to the 8-person seminar with the professor you’re going to ask for a recommendation from someday. One shouldn’t expect to get top-notch, “How may I help…
