In his defense he did turn down the role of Othello for this part.

Indeed. Sloths have barely any muscle mass and so exertion isn’t really their thing. (S)he was trying to climb up a short metal pole to shelter so I guess they weren’t around when the brains were being given out either.

Easy to say. This link outlines some of the milder tactics employers use when workers try to form a union- http://www.ufcw653.org/organizing/obs…

Here, show Mr. Pie this.

Uber is actually currently in court against some of their drivers who are trying to get a living wage and maybe union rights.

Tipped workers should form unions and demand fair wages.

Uber markets itself as simpler and cheaper than cabs because you don't need to tip. If they've changed their pricing scheme to the point where tipping is now necessary to make any money, they need to make that clear!

my sister ubers on the side. the only money you get are from tips. they don’t pay you an hourly wage and you don’t get reimbursed for gas. she says that so many people don’t tip.

What about the rif on #OscarsSoWhite? They did a pretty good job on that one too.

I blame the Internet—all those open tabs are making my attention span shorter.

Another prominent Steeler. For all its faults, one of the things I did take away from “Concussion” was how many notable Steelers were publicly visible with their head trauma battles and eventual losses.

“I am horrible with names. Go to look up something on the internet, get sidetracked and forget what I wanted to do.”

Describes me perfectly. I’m a couple of years older than you and did not have concussions.

Welcome to middle age?

Awf-el

I played AAU with him briefly, so this just makes me sad. He was a three sport guy. He was a really good basketball player, but great at football and baseball. Also, extremely intelligent. That’s the part that makes me sick. A man’s mind shouldn’t fail him in his thirties. Fuck football. It isn’t worth it.

“Going up is easier actually than coming down.”

Stories like this are really important for people who wave away concerns about concussions with “they knew what they were getting into when they chose football.” They really, really didn’t. When most of today’s pro players started out in the game, they knew about the possibility of physical damage but the neurological…

His brother, Kal, was always the sturdy one.

Goddamn this is sad. I am in my mid-20s, and I remember seeing him play in college during a loss at Penn State. He was effectively the entire offense, functioning as QB/WR/RB and kick returner. That Indiana team was terrible but they still managed to keep it close, because he made a couple truly magical plays.

If going down the stairs is so hard, why doesn’t he just install an El Evator?

To be fair, brain damage likely accounts for over 50% of his support.
