I don’t consider having to occasionally make moral compromises to be a disqualifier. There are going to be decisions time to time in a life of public service that are hard to sleep with. I don’t expect my politicians to get everything right, especially at the presidential level. For me, coming at it in good faith is a…

I’m coming up blank on the fifth serious candidate (and entirely skipping over whether Stein and Johnson are serious candidates).

The main reason for him not running this year seems to be his son’s death. I don’t know that he’d have been a good president, but he seems to be a genuine guy who only wants the best for the country, which puts him head and shoulders above our current candidates.

He does have being a HoF QB to fall back on.

Nope, there’s definitely no difference at all between the writers we’ve come to know from Deadspin proper and those who floated in on the lifeboat from the ship they sunk.

iirc, around 55mph is the point after which the net benefit of having your windows down vs running the AC is basically zeroed out, provided you’re in a normal, modern car. If you’re doing it for environmental reasons, at highway speeds you can probably safely go with AC.

The idea is that if the government acts as it should, which arguably it hasn’t for 20ish years (if then) then those huge disasters are avoided in the first place. If our infrastructure wasn’t so fucked, would Katrina have done the damage it did? If regulators had teeth, would Deepwater Horizon have happened? All…

It was valid then too. It’s going to keep being valid until the GOP gets its collective shit together and tells the nutjobs to find a new party.

If you are genuinely considering a vote for anyone other than Hillary, i.e. Donald Trump genuine, Donald Trump via the left, or Donald Trump via the right, you deserve to be made fun of. This motherfucker is bragging about sexual assault and not losing a damn vote, on top of all the other insane shit he’s said and…

Sane in this case being a relative term, when the juggernauts of rationality he beat out include the Zodiac Killer, Marco Rubio, probably Santorum, and what other shitkicker they put forward.

But the argument here isn’t that war games should enforce better tactics, which for a World War game would be even further removed from reality. In R6 Siege, there’s no respawn, which does force players to play tactically, but no one is getting domed and spending the rest of the round reflecting on the what the rest…

I genuinely don’t understand what it is you’re looking for from the multiplayer. Aside from a permadeath mechanic that would render each match over in about four minutes, how can a FPS demonstrate the horror of war? Should each respawn feature a cutscene of distraught parents getting a telegram that their son has…

Cool, so you’re actively damaging the industry in every way possible to PC gamers. It’s a shame you can’t trade the games in to GameStop to complete the trifecta.

Racial profiling absolutely is inherently bad. One of the central tenants of American law enforcement is that a person is innocent until proven guilty. Racial profiling throws that out the window. It turns the citizenry into the enemy and the police into a suspect force. It leads to one 12 year old with a BB gun…

Well shit.

When political is “BLACK PEOPLE SHOT BY POLICE” and the alternative is pretending that’s not happening, yeah, everything does have to be political.

“If a cop just happens to be racial profiling, be polite, respectful, and let them do their job.”

Have you been on the internet in the last 15 years or so? She was definitely getting harassed. The extent and severity is unknown, but anytime someone is famous enough for a criminal investigation to make news, there are people who view the prosecution as the enemy.

But “Cop commits suicide” isn’t going to get those clicks. Leaving it intentionally vague lets them get the ‘you can take the kid out of the hood’ clicks AND the ‘this is racist because...?’ clicks.

Excessively nerdy people like this contestant are to me what minorities are to red hats. I understand what they exist, but would be much more comfortable if I didn’t have to encounter them.
