in certain parts of Houston, you would pay as much as 17%

Yeah, any email with an easy “unsubscribe” link doesn’t really bother me. 1 click, gone.

stepping out from a crowded house party to go hang out on a freezing ass porch or in some windswept yard and drinking in the dark. You could smell the cigarettes and hear the din coming from everyone inside and everything about it felt correct.

I was in junior high in the mid-to-late 90's when the internet was brand new, nobody knew what they were doing, kids were curious, and adult-content-filers were a joke (misspelling Australia.com brought up hardcore porn, which a girl did by mistake).

If there were no female firefighters, maybe you have an argument for political correctness gone mad. But there are, so Fireman is straight up inaccurate. I don’t understand how you could even make an argument.

Will Smith even wrote an Eagles poem.

I’d submit Paper Mario: Color Splash and Yoshi’s Wooly World as worth porting as well. I’d also re-buy Star Fox if they fix the motion controls which made the game almost unplayable to me.

I would buy a Switch port over a regular console version of something, even if it cost more, had worse graphics, and was missing some content.

Michelle apparently missed her calling with a guest spot on The Office.

I love it when athletes respond to major news with gifs, because it forces the flacks on ESPN and the like to verbally explain the response, which never gets old.

They make money by selling games. If they release less games they makes less money. Why on earth would you conclude that this news would make them less interested in releasing games? That makes absolutely no sense.

Not to mention the renter may be cool with spending $70 for a 2 hour repair but will probably refuse to pay $2,500 for a 3-day debacle once the replacement part comes in.

As a counter-example, in Chicago we have WSCR which is best known for mixing sports with liberal politics and viciously insulting meathead callers trying to make hot-takes. Most of the contributors are experts talking X’s and O’s versus hyped up former players. Even Ditka is mocked constantly and Jay Cutler was seen…

A large portion of life is people treating you like shit and, as an adult, you are forced to take it. If you are Tom Brady talking to some shitty radio jock, it is not one of those times, so I’m not sure why you would.

a federal law banning these kinds of state and local subsidies to private businesses.

Instead of yardage, penalties give your team a disadvantage. Roughing the passer? Sit in the penalty box (and only have 10 men). Offsides? The defense isn’t allowed to cross the line of scrimmage on the next play. Holding? You are not allowed to touch that player on the next play.

In all seriousness, if each team got to use a football cannon once (and only once) per game it could be kinda cool.

I still don’t understand your point. This doesn’t reduce the ads and muting these ads would make you less likely to use an ad blocker.

Also keep in mind, all that carbonation that is released is not going into your stomach where it otherwise would. 

Bitcoin is a major topic right now, with at least some asymmetry between the hype/conventional wisdom and the reality. Do you honestly believe dumping the occasional cold water on it is not within the ethos of this site? That there must be a conspiracy involved?
