Those who feel bullied feel controlled, and so they mistake bullying for control. It’s why some people seek out aggressive political leaders - they want someone who will talk tough on their behalf. But it’s almost always empty bluster, a useless show that frequently does more harm than good. But it does feel good, for…

And his “analytical” family probably means critical; that’s why “it’s surprising he exists.” His dickish communication style is probably learned.

I’m assuming “tough” means “able to tolerate my unearned arrogance and condescension without acting hurt.”

I get why Wehner openly hates on hot dogs like that, but he should lay off the dead grandpa. What about his Uncle Tom?

It is frustrating and unfair. But we learn so much about how we are supposed to act by the behaviour we see modeled for us, either in the home or in society around us. Who are the active fathering role models that are teaching men how to parent?

Can’t Hardly Wait 2: Wait Harder

Just be the best in the world at what you do. Have you tried being good at something?

Note: When a lane is ending, the most efficient use of time and space is for people to drive in both lanes until the end, and zipper merge at that point. It is actually the rule of the road in several places.

The perfection of “Don’t be a Richard” made me suspect it was a plant, but the generic blandness of the “Speak American” guy makes it easy enough to believe regardless.

A duck!

Something something Log Driver’s Waltz.

That’s a high level of sarcasm for somebody who’s so sincerely wrong. There is no degree of truth to “Nobody innocent hangs themself.” Zero. It is not “overly broad” or “somewhat inaccurate,” it is untrue. A generous reader can infer what she means, but that statement is simply wrong and that needs to be pointed out.

#1 - You left out your gf’s best quality - her patience. Because I can’t imagine how patient she must be to deal with your arrogant condescension all the time. Nit-picking fictional plotlines and talking at length about subjects you don’t understand? That girl has two options: mm-hmming until you’re done, or pointing…

“I know I’m insanely lucky to have survived all this. I looked it up: Your odds of surviving a subdural hematoma are roughly 50/50: Anton Chigurh flipping your quarter and demanding you call it. I may have won that toss, but I also know that my luck is an insult to the less fortunate, and I know that this run of…

Sounds like you need to log off, go outside and get some fresh air. You’ve been online too long.

Would it have been even more lucky if the ball had went where he was aiming? That’s a strong “no,” friend.

What a strange article. It was a good shooter making a decent shot plus a lot of luck.

Wind resistance, primarily. A well-hit ball has spin, but even a hypothetical spin-free ball would be slowing down from the moment it leaves the bat.

This isn’t a “spirit of the rule” issue because there are no advantage scenarios for the offside rule. Soccer has advantage scenarios for their offside calls, hockey doesn’t. Some rules get advantage considerations, others don’t.
