There will be a lot of takes like these that not-so-subtly demean the very idea that we ought to give a damn about “Undies Man and Mech Genius.” And that’s fine. I’m not gonna sit here and claim that Endgame is fucking Tolstoy.

I have however generally enjoyed the past decade or so of entertainment these films have…

“presumable” because I haven’t watched a minute of MLS this season so I’ve not had the chance to subject his performances to my own visual examination

I didn’t get into it here, but it does not feel entirely irrelevant that the Giants were the last NFL team to start a black QB. And that was only in 2017.

Long time Giants fan. Is it just me, or do Gettleman’s (and the Giants generally) justifications for doing things recently (like trading OBJ, picking Jones over Haskins) come off as racially coded? “Negative culture.” “Mature.” “Fiber.” Hmmmmmmmmmm. Like they get rid of Beckham for complaining that they lose too much…

I’d much rather have Poch - who best case scenario succeeds at United and the Real rumors persist until he leaves next time they have a vacancy, or worst case scenario fails in his first shot at a substantially bigger and more pressure packed club - than Solskjaer, who has already proven he can handle coaching at…

This take of yours seems to be more anti-MAN U than anything.

Deadspin: “Hey everyone, look at this other media outlet posting an intellectually-barren, novelty puff piece! What a shameful fall from grace.”

Also Deadspin: “HEY LOOK AT THIS FUNNY BEAR!”

Also broken: the record for most ass sucked through 3 quarters.

This was truly a game that was ahead of its time. Although it felt at times more like an elaborate tech demo than a game, I still have very fond memories of playing that game. Sure, it was kind of a trainwreck if we solely consider the “game” aspect of it, but so many things in there were so ahead of its time.... I…

Played it again a few months ago with a bunch of mods on it. Never get tired of it. Even with its flaws and all. I still get scared when I hear the T-Rex coming. Or when trapped and there a raptor hissing near me that I can’t see. 

It wasn’t really that they weren’t open about it (if you look back, knowing what to look for, they actually were open about it from the beginning, barring the exact implementation that they were still likely working on), but rather a mix of somewhat-bad explanation (perhaps I’m understating it?) and a whole lot of…

The thing with the Xbox One DRM backlash is that Microsoft was factually correct about that. They were going to have a system analogous to what is now Steam Family Library Sharing, but on consoles. People rioted without understanding what the system did, and we ended up with BOTH the PS4 and Xbox One having 95% of the…

I sadly disagree.

“Pats are always thielen calls at home.”

It’s never the woman you know either. It’s never the opinionated, happy-seeming, confident woman being abused. It’s never the happy mother, the dedicated wife, the accomplished physician. That woman would never be abused. She would stop it. She would not put up with that kind of thing. Her upbringing didn’t…

Thanks.

Thanks for the consideration, and I offered the comment as a history no one had seemed to recognize here. As a US citizen that’s been alive for more than 4 decades, I’m used to jingoistic, wag-the-dog campaigns that whitewash deeply ingrained symbolism with misleading marketing and talking points.

I think you’ll find that’s the SPFL Scottish Premiership!

However, the poppy itself is a HUGE symbol of how the British funded and maintained their supremacy after securing a monopoly (via the East India Company and their private armies,) of the Indian opium trade. It funded their conquests, gave relief to their soldiers, denied affordable relief to others, and was used to…

I think we agree in more than we think.
