“The condensation on the underside of it keeps it clean anyway!”

You should ask a clean person about this. Not only is that not keeping it clean, it’s creating a perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. That is the opposite of clean.

Maybe not on purpose, but that’s exactly it. Public transportation in the US is designed for the poor. Public transportation in the rest of the world is designed for everyone.

Exactly. The problem with poor people’s diets isn’t chiefly that junk food is too cheap, it’s that they don’t have the time and energy outside work to fix healthier, cheaper options. Also, being poor sucks, but the pleasure you get from burgers, fries, and a coke helps it suck less.

Easy fixes like a soda tax…

Hey, if a poor person wants cheaper capital gains taxes, they should just buy some stocks.

But seriously, our tax and entitlement system is at least partly designed to punish the poor for making responsible choices. Married poor couples pay a significant penalty in means-tested programs. Because of they way…

I worked at a Papa John’s in South Carolina, and we would sometimes sell half-cooked (and the conveyor belt oven even has a little door on the side to make it easier to do that or to sell extra crispy pizzas) or uncooked pizzas, but never just dough, though I guess we could have.

HOW THE FUCK DOES COFFEE TASTE TOO FRESH?

Other than dough and vegetables, there is no raw food in a papa john’s. Everything comes cooked.

I'm sorry your dad apparently didn't raise you to care for the constitution.

Texas has only been a part of the US for 150 consecutive years. I do not know where you got this 200+ years comment. 200 years ago, Texas was part of of Mexico.

Because if it’s just a dispute, there aren’t any charges to press. The percentage of women who don't press charges after a dispute is probably comfortably above 99%.

Looks like he's getting promoted to covering politics.

Wouldn't he want to just take the suspension? He knows -fucking everyone knows-that if he takes an at-bat against the Mets he's getting beaned in the jaw. He should sit out from sheer self-preservation.

This is what happens when the gun control debate focuses on hyper-specific, rare cases. Once you ask “how could we prevent the Umpqua shooting?,” the debate’s over and you will only get stupid answers. There are about 30,000 gun deaths a year in America; instead of trying to prevent 9 specific deaths, let’s talk about…

The murder rate is lower than it’s been in 25 years. I don’t know how “tragic murder is becoming a natural and expected thing” while it’s becoming once rare. It doesn't matter if you're a conservative who wants more law and order or a liberal who wants gun control, you don't get to pretend that murder is becoming more…

Marshall is the third for UGA. Marshall and Chubb were both injured at Tennessee, and Lattimore was injured at home vs Tennessee.

Isn’t “simple” an ableist slur? How about a trigger warning next time?

If they did cast actors of color in major roles, they’d be accused of covering up Hollywood’s history of racism.

Isn't Oscar Isaac Latino? I guess Inside Llewyn Davis wasn't about diversity, so the Coens don't get credit for it, but still. It's not really fair to characterize the Coens as casting exclusively white people.

Based on earlier articles today, this probably counts as blackface too.
