I still don’t quite get this. If you lay out the facts, any rational person can see he’s a white supremacist... but don’t say it!! What? Lay out the facts but don’t state the rational conclusion? In what world does this make sense???

Jesus Christ man, while plenty of legacy pricks go to Harvard, there are also plenty of regular ass people who just happen to be smart and work really hard in school to get there. Might want to temper your anger a bit

All right, nothing against eSports and yada yada yada, but I mean come on, no they are not athletics. If something like chess was an olympic event too, sure maybe then we could have this conversation. Sure high levels of skill may be involved but it’s just a different class of activity.

all of this is correct. which is why “try to avoid looking directly at the eclipse” is prudent advice, which subsequently got twisted into “avert thine eyes from the orb in the sky lest ye go blind!”

I mean, he’s right. I totally glanced up at the eclipse for like 2 seconds without glasses. Wasn’t any worse than looking at the sun any other day. Looking at the normal sun too long can blind you too! Strange how people apparently think eclipse light is this magical high intensity light that blinds instantly.

YES, thank you for zeroing in on this. Everybody focused on animation glitches but they were hardly the area in which the game disappointed most. The fact that the writing was just so goddamn awful and corny, not at all up to the standards of the first three games, and the overall tone of the story so inconsistent...…

ditto. Turns out the illusion that sports exists in its own bubble and can be separated from reality like a tv sitcom was always just that, an illusion. Sports exists in our society just like anything else and therefore is a reflection on said society, ills and all. To try and willfully ignore that to preserve some…

Yeah, and maybe women just aren’t interested in professions like software engineering.

well yeah league minimum salary isn’t like half a million dollars for nothing

the main problem with the “economics only” approach: it assumes a world where being middle class or above erases all the structural effects of racism in society. Because as we all know, middle class minorities never experience any racism, ever

I see no problem with this. Deliberately subverting the trope that, no matter what if you just choose the “right” choices you can make literally any and everyone’s heart bend to your will. An actual meaningful statement!

You’re very welcome! I sincerely enjoy all of your articles; again it’s great to read stuff from people who know their stuff.

I knew this fight was a farce, but it’s great to have someone who actually knows what they’re talking about explain exactly how and the extent to which it is a farce. Phoenomenal piece

I’d have to assume so, since they take these stats to be pretty official and you can’t be the first person who has thought of this, but I don’t know

how about the fact that we still rely on subjective judgements of them when we have the technology RIGHT NOW to always get it right and keep it consistent?

congratulations, asshole

how’s that spouse search working out for you champ

what the fuck is this? Not if you sit in reasonable foul ball territory, i.e. this guy. A glove could have totally changed the narrative here.

I mean, I believe he justly deserved parole, it I wouldn’t say I’m glad for it, because the fucker did it
