my real point is that order of operations matters. In 6/2a=x you multiply before you divide even though the multiplication happens to the right of the division. Yes, the whole question is whether (1+2) is under the bar, so the answer cannot be 9. It can however be “answer unclear.”

If Cazorla didn’t have all those injury issues his last few seasons at Arsenal, Wenger would still be manager and Arsenal would be celebrating an active decades-long run of Champions League appearances. He made those teams work.

6/2(1+2)=x can be written as a two part equation:

I’m all for Daenerys being the big bad of the series. But the Mad Queen that was set up since the beginning wasn’t a literally insane evil woman. The idea behind the Mad Queen was how it is nearly impossible to be a conqueror without being a tyrant, that it is hard to do good things through violence and that you…

I thought I had never seen anything as stupid as a fleet appearing out of nowhere, to hit the dragon in the heart and the head with two shots of bolt throwers, completely unseen by the dragons 300 feet in the air. Then those bolt throwers destroyed the ships more quickly and completely than cannons ever could. I doubt…

Maybe it was a non-settlement settlement. If Stranger Things/Netflix agreed to pay an undisclosed amount and Kessler said no plagiarism occurred, everyone would think the Duffers are plagiarizing assholes. But if Kessler pulls his suit like this, then this fall gets a big, career-defining job working with someone who…

I know this is an old post, but it’s pretty funny to have it coming up again in the recommendations after James Harden squinted through game 2 looking like Paul Pierce in his wheelchair or LeBron holding his hand in a brace in the press conference after game 4 of the 2018 NBA finals. Where are James Harden’s glasses?

Really weird they changed a CGI character’s proportions to look like it is a kid wearing a fuzzy suit. If the character really were played by a kid in a suit, that would be understandable. But It Is CGI! Maybe the next version will have the proportions of an actual hedgehog.

As always the show is a metaphor for Global Warming. The Night King is atmospheric carbon dioxide. Jon Snow is Al Gore. The Night’s Watch is weather scientists who say they are important but really only hype up the threat to get more funding so they can buy nice Ikea furniture for their castles. Melisandre represents…

Winter in this world, especially in the phrase “winter is coming” is both a literal season that can last between months and a generation, and a metaphor for an oncoming terrible state of affairs. The White Walkers were going to bring about the worst unending winter in both senses. That petered out unimpressively in a…

The crucial difference between the books and show is that the show characters are 5 times as stupid as the book characters, except for Cersei, whose show version is no stupider than the book version, which makes her the evil Genius of the show.

McCoy, in revealing the thing he revealed about the film, spelled a character’s name incorrectly, which would get around any muted words people set for themselves

The paragraph in question begins “In George R.R. Martin’s A Song Of Ice And Fire series,” so it is talking about the books where Aegon the Unlikely is Aerys’s grandfather. Jaehaerys dies early, giving the throne to Aerys after forcing him to marry his sister to help bring about the prophecy that later enraptured Rhaega…

The showrunners also really believe in tell don’t show, after all its quicker and easier. They do it in the show and they even tell important things in those stupid interviews after the show. They’ll seriously say things about characters’ thoughts, feelings and motivations in those interviews that haven’t been firmly …

Olympic Stadium did not always have a roof. It was meant to have a retractable roof for the 1976 Olympics in the form of a tarp suspended by cables from the inclined tower. But that REALLY did not work out. They didn’t install a roof until 1987. Presumably Bryn Smith hit his golf ball before that. When they finally…

I always wondered why teams don’t manipulate the lack of an infield fly rule here to pick the base runners. If a slow, bad baserunner pops up and runs to first, and a great, fast baserunner on first has to hold up, shouldn’t the infielder drop the ball on purpose and throw to second so the good baserunner goes to the…

At about 0:10 of the first video you can hear a loud disgusting noise emitted from a clenched asshole. If you slow it down and carefully isolate the audio, it sounds something like “...the difference is, is that draymond is usually arguing and fighting with the refs.” Max Kellerman makes some noises, but you can edit…

Why wasn’t Beverly ejected on that first set of Double Techs (Durant’s first). The announcers said Beverly got a Tech after the first half horn for staring down an official and clapping sarcastically (meaning they did a good job of helping the Warriors). ABC showed it and it was pretty blatant— Mocking clapping at the…

As a child, Albies made a deal with a woodland imp who would give Albies All-Star caliber talent, but in return Albies had to pay him $4Million before his 23rd birthday or Albies would owe the horrible creature his first born son and daughter. Knowing MLB’s labor agreements well (as terrible imps are wont to do), the…

The cognitive Dissonance is astounding. Whatever Republicans accuse her of suggesting, they come out and explicitly say for themselves! If her words can be interpreted to suggest Jews are more loyal to Jews than to country, they say that as a Muslim she can’t be a loyal American official (most of the people Omar was…
