Correct, to a degree. I’ve done teamwork before, dating all the way back to school. Hated every single instance of it because there was always a slacker holding the group back who reaped the rewards of the group’s work. Fuck that.

like, oh, no, people i’m not friends with and don’t want/need to be friends with think I’m an asshole

My individual wellbeing is not impacted by my coworkers in any way, shape or form.

How do you feel about the following mindset: “we’re co-workers, not friends. I don’t give a shit what’s good for you and I don’t expect or even want you to give a shit about what’s good for me?”

Similarly, I’ll just hit that breakroom at 12 noon and not worry about this 1/3 full shipping container that they’re coming to get at 1 PM. The boxes will just, I dunno, move themselves or something.

I don’t see what any workplace can do about co-workers not liking each other.

“Why are we so happy to deprive ourselves of this simple, everyday pleasure?”

Yup.

Never understood the “one loss and you’re shit” mindset of many MMA fans. Same thing happened with Ronda. Now, she’s somehow NOT a super-dominant athlete with a crazy streak of impressive wins. She’s a scrub who will be lucky to get a fight. I don’t get it.

BOOM.

That is clearly a Mickie James DDT, sir.

I’ve had the nachos. They’re not bad, though they only fit the bill for two niche-eaters:

Chipotle doesn’t try to be anything but Chipotle. And it succeeds.

“Ted Williams would win a batting title in 2016.”

Nobody’s saying Ruth wasn’t talented, but rather that the game he was playing was so radically different from the one Bonds, McGuire or any other modern baseball touchstone played that it’s really impossible to draw any meaningful parallels.

So long as hyper-competitive men are placed in direct opposition to each other in an athletic competition with there only being enough spoils for the victors, you can make the penalties for violating the “standards” whatever you want and make them as clear as possible to the athletes.

Human growth hormone and steroid use among high school athletes has grown over the past decade, right alongside the number of scandals* about steroid use.

Didn’t the PS or PS2 boxes have holes in them that allowed you to see the serial label on the console itself without opening it?

lol yes this is relevant

No half-measures.
