Also, this article pays short shrift to the views of the girls who would get their own school, as noted in the WaPo article. The girls didn’t want the school, they wanted - and will get - something else. Being knee-jerk cuts both ways, and this click-baity article irritates me.

I think that people tell themselves that “but that means you live in a nice place!” This is probably not true. There will likely be more restaurants and parks and museums and stores, but not three times better those in more realistically priced areas, and also, those “nice place” things aren’t free. There will likely…

NC state government has always been a backbiting bunch of factionist idiots trying to score points against each other, but probably not that much different than most other states. The big difference being that the state usually didn’t do much that anyone noticed unless you were reading NC newspapers and hadn’t done…

I think this hits a pain point for you, given the tone of your comments in short succession. I don’t think that dirty partners get a pass. What I was commenting on, with an open heart and empathy for MsMenstruation, was to see if she could challenge herself to an easier daily standard of cleanliness, since her …

Is it a race thing to say that I think that if Draymond Green and Steph Curry were doing the exact same thing (they aren’t), that Green would get more fouls called? If so, then sure. My point is not meant to be BUT RACISM! but rather a more nuanced view on how attractive, light-skinned, younger-appearing, less angular…

I think Crosby is extraordinarily talented, and that if he looked like Chara, he would get called for more stuff. It’s not a race thing, per se, it’s that I believe that refs give a pass to the attractive, baby-faced, lighter skinned players. Of course, those people have to be talented, too, but I think that the refs…

If Sidney Crosby didn’t have a white babyface, this would absolutely not be the case. I understand it’s hockey, but still. The blind eye he gets is ridiculous.

Can’t believe it, but Georgetown locally has gone from “likely to choke” to “grossly irrelevant.” Losing massive numbers of players to transfer couldn’t have helped III’s case. Georgetown alum like to think they’re relevant, and they simply haven’t been in several years.

Humor - quick and to the point. You need not reach out to him, and if he reaches out to you, give a quick “ha ha! No. You really showed your ass the last time I saw you, and my schedule is way too full to deal with whether you were just inappropriately drunk or a total jerk. Enjoy the city.” If he quibbles, keep it…

Texas A&M Gig ‘Em sign is a tight thumbs up. A&M classes each have their own other signs and salutes, too.

You’re all over this post with “but mah, mah, mah PROPERTY RIGHTS!” For dozens of reasons, the family may not be able to buy the tree where their loved one died (the land isn’t subdividable, they can’t afford it, the owner isn’t selling, etc.). It may not be how you or I would grieve, but understand that the blanket…

Unless the states erects them, their existence does not violate the Establishment Clause. Selective removal by the state based on the religion being represented (as opposed to the hazard being presented, location or some other non-religion based discrimination) could arguably violate the Establishment Clause.

I didn’t know fainting goats could even skate. I feel like Coach K is coaching the Pens.

Understood. I was responding to the fact she mentioned “deep cleaning,” which I do believe is a level of clean that is on the margins - no one should be in deep marital discord over “super clean” vs. “darn clean enough.” Caring about cleaning isn’t necessarily about just staying above the squalor line. She mentions…

I challenge you, for your own sanity, to care less about deep cleaning. If it’s not going to make you sick, dirty everything you have, or embarrass you in a meaningful way, try to leave it be for a little while. I live with two large dogs. It’s the season where they are constantly tracking mud into the house. It…

This is literally every coach from every R-rated high school comedy made from 1975-1990. I’m absolutely not cool with the juicing (didn’t even know that was a thing outside frat hazing), but I was fairly certain that every girl who wasn’t in glasses, braces and a back brace got called a slut by ‘80s Coach, and that…

[Insert Ron Mexico joke here]

Didn’t hear the beginning of his post-game press conference, but Coach K did conclude it by voluntarily (not in response to a question) extending thanks and kind words for Greenville for being a gracious and kind host town. This, coupled with his words on NC’s stupid, stupid, stupid ban a couple days ago were 30…

And yet, a bunch of SC doofuses protested across the street with the Stars n Bars. SC racists literally can’t get out of their own way to show that they are awful, awful people. It’s unfathomable to me that someone would take time out of his life to “protest” to say “remember when you boycotted us because our state…

Yeah - I’m going to disagree with Jerry - Neanderthal on this one, but admitting that being a young teenager didn’t make me the most cognizant. I think whoever was in that term was going to face the fallout of Reagan economics and the results of the market crash of 1987. I’m not saying he was our best president, nor…
