While it’s possible that this armed criminal could have run through a populated area firing recklessly or even taken hostages, isn’t it also possible that this could have been the wake up call he needed? That he could have gone back to school, graduated from medical school, dedicated himself to caring for underserved…

First of all, there’s no need for your racist language; secondly and more importantly, is it that hard to believe? Between mass incarceration, economic disparities, and a failing public education system—all of which stem from and perpetuate systemic racism—what other possible outcome was there?

Maybe it started with an unjust society.

There seems to be a bit of variation from batch to batch, which isn’t what you’d expect from a major brewer. Sometimes it’s very smooth and caramel forward, and sometimes it tastes like the bottom of a coffee pot.

By the strictest definition of the rule, it certainly appears that the lead runner could have been called out because he pushed through with his left arm. Maybe he should have run three feet into foul territory and reached back for the back corner of the plate, as the catcher clearly gave him that path. But that would…

It’s a good thing this was Shawn Hochuli and not his dad or else we’re still be listening to his explanation.

That’s my point exactly. They’re not accomplishing the same thing. They play in entirely different competitions, so to compare the payout for winning one against the other is ridiculous. The Women’s World Cup is not the World Cup. It’s a bigger difference than between Division I and D-III. It’s more like graduating…

They should pay both teams equally if they accomplish the same thing. The only difficulty there is that the World Cup and the Women’s World Cup aren’t the same thing, and either team is extremely unlikely to win the other. Does the U-20 national team want in on this? Why shouldn’t they be paid the same as the USMNT…

So he got free tacos for life, but what did the other contestants win?

I’d wager that 90% of non-Catholics couldn’t name or recognize the current pope, but would recognize the outfit and put it together. “A boxer (any boxer)“ is just as recognizable.

I was born in 1979 and remember the ring pull tabs several years into my childhood. The current iteration of Sta-Tab may have been invented in the 70's, but it didn’t completely supplant the ring pull until probably 1988 or so.

It’s the job of any elected official to govern and represent al of their constituents, not just those who voted for them. The job is certainly not to be a slightly more appealing (or slightly less loathesome) option than your opponent so that you can get elected and then impose your own will. The idea of listening to…

Somalia has a ntional police force, and smaller jurisdictions have their own as well. For what it’s worth, a large part of their duty is immigration enforcement, as Somalia also has a tightly regulation visa and residency permit system, collects biometric data, and screens anyone who wants to enter the country.

People like to complain about sports officials as much as they do cops, but the answer has never been “Well, let’s just get rid of the officials.” No one wants to see that, because it would be complete chaos. It’s always “Let’s do what we can to make them better.” Instant replay, transparency in reviews, better…

2017 was so long ago and there has been so much turnover in the team that it’s patently unfair to make the current team play under the previous agreement.

I’m firmly of the mind that if there were a reason to make my own raisins—which have no added ingredients or technique besides “let them dry out”—someone else would have already done it better and cheaper. This isn’t making your own barbecue sauce or muffins where you can add a personal touch. This is filling ice cube…

Maybe the best solution is for USSF just to release the USWNT from any obligations, cede control, and let everyone walk away.  

I’ve never understood why someone would proclaim their innocence but then hire a lawyer as well, particularly a good lawyer. If you’re really innocent just go to court and let the truth come out. Isn’t that what you’d want?

They’re only $70 each! Marked down from $90! If you know of a better way to “save” $110 I’d like to hear it.

And a pizza is just an open faced sandwich.  I get it.
