Actually, I think it is a LOT of that. And in denying they could somehow have a _small_ part in things going on, they create a culture where those who are raised in it, really do believe the veneer as reality.

The American culture, more than ever, is one of “I got mine” and also, “I’m never wrong, but if I am, you…

I usually just loved to read the manual and let my brother do the playing. I am weird.

Fair enough, but the article says:

There are plenty of great educators who really do care about the youth, but there are also way too many who help lend credence to the “those who can’t do, teach” mantra.

My guidance counselor was like that, too. A general lazy waste of space, that clearly hated his job.

A bit of snark there, but you bring up another point in why I have been hestitant to join the BT club.

I can get really good wired headsets or buds for far cheaper than a good pair of BT buds.

$200 and they can’t provide a canvas bag, at least?

Collector’s editions are almost always rip-offs, because the company uses the scarcity instead of quality of product to hike up prices. Nothing in that package said it was close to worth $200...and with the crappy nylon bag that you can mass produce for 20¢ each,…

Wait wait wait...you’re saying that because other people (possibly here, even) spouted over simplistic tripe the same as Trump is doing, that Trump is beyond criticism for it?

Those people are wrong, and so is he.

Mayfield was just making an excuse. From what I can read, he didn’t like Jackson as a coach, and it seems that Jackson was not a good coach at all — regardless of the talent, or lack thereof, he coached.

Instead of coming out and saying “I think he was a crappy coach, why would I hug him?”, he just made an excuse.

The…

I’m not siding with SB Nation, but I am not sure where this notion of getting paid writing work sight unseen would come from. People have to write somewhere, and much like design (my field), you have to do projects “for free” to show you have skill and build up your portfolio. It’s not an applied science, it’s a…

Finally? It’s been an insufferable past 30 years or so.

As a Bears fan, I agree.

Actually, that monster there seems to have better dentures than this 100-year old witch currently has. Her mouth is seriously caved in.

Clearly this commenter is an old school Catholic. Truly the most self-hating, loathsome people around.

I know, I was raised in it.

This society is built on choices, you have two:

I want to accelerate the decline in newspaper readership just to get rid of all these privileged fuck twats.

“I worked hard so I could believe that people actually gave a shit about what I write about. Sports! The most important thing in people’s lives!”

Well, get ready, because within a couple years, it will be. You can’t touch the receivers, look at them funny, tackle, etc etc.

And the better the Bears do, the worse the pick for the Raiders.

What? Super’s soundtrack is pretty great overall. How can you not like this:

The worst part continues to be that this will change nobody’s mind.

I feel like that was probably a dream scenario...but if true Trumpers were really the tiny minority, it should have been a huge swing last night, even with gerrymandering.

It wasn’t. This country has a lot of problems that will need to dealt with in the coming decades. This can’t be hand-waved away by saying just a few…
