Wait. Peeling an avocado? What?

Hey. He’s 87. Maybe he stopped in the middle of the road for no reason. Wouldn’t be the first time. The article doesn’t have enough information to assign blame. Therefore, I will stick to my unwarranted, kneejerk aversion to octogenarian drivers.

*reads take*

is this supposed to be some larger point about how media should be nicer to public figures? because fuck you

The Handmaid’s Tale already showed us what Pence’s presidency will look like thought :-/

If only someone had written a blog post making these points, so you wouldn’t have had to make them in a comment to a blog post.

I don’t see why a man would have an advantage in e-sports, but suggesting that the male-female divide in conventional sports is a “power grab” seems like a stretch. Splitting events into two doesn’t generally serve the men in the sport, who could compete regardless. Instead, it is generally designed to open up the…

This is a hot taek.

why? who cares?

I would argue that him being a bad guy does indeed make this less sad.

That’s exactly what someone impersonating his twin brother on an NBA playoff team would say.

You’re actually an idiot.

You’re not necessarily wrong, but missing a bit of info: Amtrak doesn’t “only worry” about travel between NYC and DC. Rather, the only significant stretch of rail that Amtrak itself owns is between Boston and DC. Hence in the northeast Amtrak does its own dispatching and prioritizes it own trains, as well as…

I think it’s simply a matter of not being able to turn off the switch. The sort of person who becomes an NFL All Pro or a managing director at an investment bank or a leading cardiologist or whatever probably is just simply so used to working hard that they’re not sure what to do other than work hard. (As an aside,…

There’s nothing political about this. It would have bothered or offended people, or lead people to think the developer wanted to shock or offend. When that was not the developers intent. The localizers did a good job notifying them of the issue and informing them, and changing it to not have an unintended meaning.

Avoid rather than face head on? What is your point? The developer wasn’t trying to make any sort of political statement by using the letters KKK. It was a pun that only makes sense in Japanese to Japanese people. Finding out what the most prevalent meaning of KKK is to an American audience, and then deciding to keep…

...so? What’s the problem? This Lipschultz guy is an idiot. He assumed that this was some sort of forced censorship and overreacted without seeking more information. Now, he looks like a fool for throwing a tantrum over nothing and has to double down to save face, but the result is still that he won’t get credited on…

Here’s some of Tramel’s hard-hitting commentary from the link above:

The only reason Bylsma had that job in the first place is because he was the best coach remaining after the Sabres tried and failed to land Babcock. Bylsma is not a good coach at the NHL level. He has zero creativity and clings to over-the-hill veterans at the expense of even trying young, unproven players with much…
