I mean you can play with the iPhone, you can put googley eyes on it and make a tiny little Hawaiian shirt for it to wear. Put it in your toy car and push it around your kitchen table. It would be hard to do that with PayPal.

Oh, come on. I’m not a moron. I know Elon Musk didn’t invent rockets or electric cars. If I was that fucking stupid I don’t think I’d even be capable of using the internet.

A 3 week experiment to see the value of someone’s work output is shitty science. In the short term, other people may be able to take up the slack. But you may not see longer term costs in terms of misscheduled appointments, small annoyances that build up over time, miscommunications that didn’t have to happen, etc.

If there was a coach who was brilliant enough to get players like Kyrgios and Monfils to play to their full potential, their time would be better spent doing something slightly easier, like bringing peace to the Middle East.

It is only going to get worse.

There are people who have issues with Harris’ ties to Steve Mnuchin and wonder what it is that she’s doing for her to be the only Democrat that he’s donated money to.

I have seen Citizen Cane (meh)

The Third Man is one of my favourite movies ever. Greatest whodunit ever made. One of the best plot twists ever put in a movie. Joseph Cotton & Orson Welles work so well together. And Anton Karas’ zither score is incredible. I discovered the radio show before the movie, which I think made the movie even better.

My wife and I do that in the dark and then flail around and try to guess who is touching whom before we look at the video replay.

It’s funny how many of these seem to be designed to compensate for a lack of basic skills with a kitchen knife. I make no claim to zoro esque control, but I have zero doubt I could prep a pineapple as quickly as that weird handled corer.

I live in Australia. I’ll kill whatever the fuck I want before it kills me.

The Lakeside moments are some of my favorite in the book. I guess I’m biased because I’m from Wisconsin and I love the lakes and the weirdness of the House on the Rock but still.

Oh, so we’re going by street-fighting, no holds barred standards? In that case, I have no idea how good any of these guys are with firearms...

Depending on how “real” this street fight is, the greatest MMA/Boxing/whatever practitioner in the world is losing to the dude with a pistol and 5 hours range training.

I totally agree that the stakes are part of what make boxing writing compelling, and I think there are a couple of other factors that contribute:

Not a dad, but otherwise accurate!

Johnson is no saint; he’s a defense lawyer.

Were you here yesterday, posting this shit when the criminal justice system let Ray Tensing walk?

You aren’t going to fix the problem of police brutality if large swaths of people don’t see it as a problem.

If she was a POC, the conversation would be about whether or not she was really trying to reach for the officer’s gun, what kind of drugs she may or may not have been on, and how obviously you don’t rush at a cop therefore she probably deserved it.
