While I agree with most of this, you are doing readers a disservice by saying that physical fitness comes through pain. If you are in pain you should slow down or stop; you’re doing something wrong. Soreness is different from pain. People that hurt themselves are more likely to give up altogether.

If Florida had a Twitter account it would write: “phew, at least it wasn’t us this time.”

They’re not going to break it up into 2 movies? Have they learned nothing?

I do children’s services in a library and have always wanted to offer D&D programming but am concerned about inconsistent attendance. Everyone won’t be able to show up each week and I feel someone is missing they would get left behind. Is there such a thing as a single one hour game.

What blue wave? Yes, the Dems took control of the House. So what! A significant number of people still voted Republican. Given everything that has happened in the past two years, it should have been a resounding, crushing victory. Florida, Georgia, Cruz, the Senate. For god’s sake, immigrant children were separated…

In fairness to Indiana, it does have the Indianapolis Children’s Museum which is amazing. Might be the only thing in the state, but it’s something.

Can’t begin to imagine why the driver thought it was appropriate to post a secretly recorded private conversation. If I was the players I’d sue this guy and the company.

Anyone else tire of euphemisms. The term “plus sized” is used as if it’s an immutable characteristic like race. Why not just say overweight or fat? Perhaps acknowledging one’s poor physical condition would serve to motivate them to eat better and exercise.

Going on Fox wouldn’t accomplish anything. None of their viewers would believe what his rep said anyway. I think the lawsuit approach would be better. Must be a reason he hasn’t done it.

I’ve met a number of teachers over the years, and I am often amazed at the type of people who manage to become teachers. You would expect some high threshold, but no. There are best teacher of the year awards. There needs to be worst teacher awards to provide a real incentive to think twice about their actions.

Inexpensive for the individual now, perhaps, but the long-term consequences for the planet still must be taken into consideration. I wonder at what point our increasingly dire climate situation will force people to factor emissions into their behavior. We can’t afford to keep acting like we’re not on the precipice of…

But if he wore a crucifix that would be ok, because the country was founded on the Christian faith. When these Native people showed up is anyone’s guess.

The post states she will become “one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress,” yet a link below to an earlier article indicates she will be the first. Who is the other mystery candidate?

There should be an investigation of some kind and charges. This is subverting the very principles the country is founded on. Democracy is being eroded at a surprising rate unless this kind of thing is challenged.

“The file-storing service Mega usually cuts free users off once they’ve downloaded around 5GB or so”

This is easy to say when it’s invisible emissions we’re talking about. If it was litter and everyone kept waiting for the other person to stop, we would be swimming in refuse. The consequences of such indifference would quickly be obvious. The effects of climate change will take longer, but are dramatically more…

He should be suspended. Even though the appeals process would mean nothing would happen for the post-season, it wouldn’t send a message that such juvenile antics won’t be tolerated.

We don’t care.

Whenever this jackass closes successfully he points to the sky as if is his invisible sky wizard wanted him to win the game. And we have to endure the network showing this in all its nauseating detail. So I really want to ask him, when he loses, was his god too distracted from other more pressing issues that night…

I wonder how many of the world’s problems could have been solved if so many of us didn’t spend our time trying to get high. It’s pathetic that someone would be raised to aspire to so little. Millions around the world struggle to survive on a daily basis, and those of us in the West have so much time and opportunity…
