Given that physicians have the same power as referees to determine whether or not players can play, it boggles my mind that the various unions haven't insisted on a truly independent medical corps paid collectively by the league rather than by individual teams.

Oof. Mitch McConnell supports your post, but won’t fund any aftereffects.

there’s just something about the combination of New York and Jets that winds up in disaster for someone

I didn't see the scene in question but not using a prosthetic here would've been weird, no? From the description he's supposed to be erect for the scene and I don't know how that wouldn't be awkward for the other members of the cast and crew. And what if he has trouble maintaining an erection? If he were just nude…

But was it what you wanted? I’m not asking if you’re okay with it or if you understand why the writers did it. Was it what you wanted?

music that is typically only played for guys like Richard Branson and Bob Pittman [at] private parties

Stainless steel removes the smell of garlic instantly. You can rub your fingers on a sink, knife, or get one of these fancy stainless steel soap bars for $6. No more garlic on your hands. 

Especially when you learn that Nermal had her passport taken away immediately and had to build a golf course there.

Kind of the inverse situation in the NHL, but it reminds me of last year when the Caps had decided before the playoffs to not re-sign coach Barry Trotz... and then they won the Cup and they still didn’t re-sign him.

There are 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those that don’t.

Arya-as-Jamie omg.  See, that’s one of the frustrating things here.  I feel like any one of us could think of a WAY cooler ending in about 10 minutes.  Saying, “Well, you can’t please everyone!” is such a cop-out.  David and Dan shut out other writers because they wanted to hog credit for themselves.  Well boys,…

“We didn’t mean to exclude you, we just happened to get together, oh and while we hung out we made a bunch of decisions, here they are.” Like we don’t get exactly what happened and that it was very intentional, especially in smaller groups.

True. I’m one of the only women in my field, and all the pre-meeting and lunch chatter is about either sports or hunting (SO BORING) so I usually show up just as meetings are starting and if it’s an all day meeting, I’ll go run errands and eat on my own during the break. But one all-day, highly contentious meeting was…

They forgot to photoshop in Black people.  

You see, ladies, there’s the fake meeting/conference and the real meeting/conference.

He’s doing the ol’ “no one cares about male rape so I get to not be sensitive to female rape” switcheroo, more commonly known as the “if you mention one thing in an article, you have to mention ALL things or else you don’t care about them.”

I had heard great things about Outlander so the one time I choose to tune in, it was this episode. It was seriously one of the most egregious, drawn out rape scenes I’ve ever seen. Then at the end of the episode I remember the woman is like, yelling at this man who was just victimized for hours on end. Never gave…

It seems to me that brutal rape is inherently insensitive. That’s kind of the point. 

This. I had a similar argument with a troll during the Great Gawker Troll Attack (not sure how long ago, but a group of trolls decided to post the most violent images and extreme sex-related imagery on the comment boards here. Stuff like severed heads, bombing victims and scat porn. Not sure why they started doing it…

Thank God for movies because otherwise we'd have no idea that rape was ever a problem.
