Your first post was complaining that the OP didn’t provide analysis. When somebody else does, you get mad. Sounds like you have a personal problem. Can’t make up your mind on what you want!

So, you are commenting just to be a turd - got it. Responding without engaging is high up on your list of things to do - sounds about right for a turd.

Then why did you bother commenting above? Or on my post? Just to be a turd? Either shut your dicktrap or engage, you can’t have it both ways.

Compelling analysis: The job of the news is to inform the populace. The first amendment ensures the freedom of the press. We have that amendment because a free press is a fundamental to a functioning democracy. The press was never perfect or fully impartial, but the current press has become the 24hr mouthpieces of the…

You haven’t read the comments. A large number quote some bullshit from the article, and then directly refute it with counterexamples or explain some aspect of what Stewart was trying to do that was good that the author misconstrues as evil/misguided/whatever.

Gawker runs 100% on page views. We all will click on whatever diarrhea he puts on the page in order to comment on how he’s a moron, and make Denton a happy guy.

Stewart owes his success to the enormous gap between the sacred-truth-telling pretensions of broadcast news organizations and the actual purpose of all those shows: to entertain people who are doing nothing more interesting than passively watching television. “We need help, from the media, and they are hurting us,” he…

While I approve (and do the same when I’m not even drunk) - I also don’t deign to call anything without curds “poutine.” I refer to what you described as “loaded tots.” Pretty much anything can be added - green onion, tomato, avocado...

Each article has said separate things about the ways that Goodell sucks.

I think it’s mostly that people either A. Understand that this has nothing to do with actual cheating, and 100% to do with Brady not submitting fully to investigation, or B. Hate Brady and are “sure” that he’s a cheater who deserves whatever comes to him regardless of how the league decides his punishment or how it…

Things to make when you are high as fuck:

If you are gonna snark, snark right! :p

The phraseology of many pro-choice advocates is just as bad as the wording chosen by pro-life. Hence, the occasional perception that pro-choice advocates love abortions.

Learn to use the internet-speak “/s” for sarcasm then...

Fuck you, it’s a major issue that is affecting millions of women. Most sources will say that it’s a huge problem in Russia, but that authorities consider it a private matter not worth acknowledging. Jezebel covered this via NPR:

Scuba is too different. It’s just a spacesuit that you put on to explore. There is no freedom.

They either flood their Eustachian tubes (I think this is what basically all competitive divers use now) or use an equalization technique called the Frenzel maneuver. You should look it up, it’s actually pretty interesting - it teaches you to control your soft palate and epiglottis independently.

There needs to be a day in swim lessons where they tell you to never hyperventilate to hold your breath.

That’s not true. Cold water shock is what happens when you are thrown into cold water, not descending into it. Instead, the mammalian diving reflex is the relevant thing, and only happens in cold water: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammalian…

Freediving is pretty cool, you get to focus 100% on something with no chance of anything seeping in from the outside. You get to live in that exact moment, and time starts to stretch. It’s almost a meditative state. If you are doing it right, it’s not as dangerous as it looks because you are hyper aware of when you…
