But your original comment was suggesting she could sue them on behalf on student athletes. She can't. I tend to agree with you that college sports are exploitative, but you were wrong about the suit. Also, I don't think supporting something that is admittedly problematic bars you from asserting your rights in other

Not to mention ISIS. I mean, we have bigger fish to fry here, lady. You can't solve anything unless you solve my thing first.

Seeing as she's not a student athlete, she would lack standing to sue the NCAA for its treatment of student athletes. So there's that.

Yeah, it's more a comment on the can of worms. I'm sure there are lots of starbucks baristas who could approach this with sensitivity and compassion and intelligence, but as in any place with as many employees as starbucks, there are probably also a lot who can't, or think they can, but don't. Also, since the

It only takes one who isn't and a camera phone.

Yeah, that's true. And the metaphor makes sense internally, as you note, but comes off as a little clunky when it refers back to something else it has nothing to do with.

This guy must have a lot of faith in his employees. O_O

Man, my feelings were the exact opposite. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, so this is tentative, but I found the production to be really textured and interesting and distinctive, but lyrically it has been disappointing so far. Not bad, but much weaker than Good Kid Maad City. I mean, he said that "To Pimp a

And there's also no classy way to avoid the confusion. What's he going to do, put, "not my cousin" under the dedication?

Confession: I did not know who Harris Wittels was and when I saw the new Aziz special on netflix and saw it was dedicated to "Harris Wittels" I thought that it must have been his cousin Harris and almost cried. Then my boyfriend explained who Harris Wittels was and I was relieved. Then I felt bad for being relieved,

I've actually found hawaiian pizza to be a decent option if you're somewhere where the only option is a shitty national chain (papa johns, dominos, etc). Though I would never order it from an actual pizza place.

haha, i had a POF for shits and giggles during a single period of my life a fews years back. Yeah. THE WORST. It's the only dating site I had to block people on.

That is a possibility. Though I would love to see a panel discussion 2 decades from now with him and jaden smith and ... some other kids?

No, just bad. Just really condescending and bad. The thing is, all the claims they make in it *could* be correct, the authors just do an incredibly bad job backing up the claims they make, and don't engage with the data they're citing very deeply, so it's hard not to walk away from it incredibly skeptical.

I had to take a long break from Dan Savage after that book. Lost a ton of credibility in my mind. Like, if multiple partners is what floats your boat and you can make it work, more power to you, but that book is objectively terrible. Horribly written. Weakly argued. Like, my god, offering no context for an isolated

It was also really poorly written.

I think the author's trying to suggest that there's a link between his son's history of drug use and Moore's softer position on drugs (the implication being maybe if he had more personal experience with the struggles of gay couples, he'd be more sympathetic), though from this article it sounds like Moore's been soft

I'm vicariously embarrassed for Ansel Elgort a decade into the future stumbling across these interviews. It must be like finding your middle school live journals but 1000x worse. "WHY DID REPORTERS ASK ME THINGS LIKE ANYTHING I SAID AT 21 MATTERED?!? WHY DID THEY GIVE MY BABY-PERSON SELF A PLATFORM?!?"
