They should just change it from “winning” to “completing” the Spelling Bee. I mean, that won’t both diminish the value of spelling everything correctly while also making any child who fails to complete it feel much, much worse about themselves than before, right? Right?

Agreed. One of the things that really concerns me is that both I and one of the other people that I know that take it as-needed for anxiety have had experiences where it won’t really seem to work much at all, but then also have experiences where we’ll pop a gummy and almost be asleep 30 minutes to an hour later. I…

Admittedly, in my also extensive scientific studies, I do get a general calming effect with CBD (which I use almost exclusively for anxiety, and also almost exclusively when I can’t be high for whatever reason), and also weed is fucking awesome.

My reaction to that play:

This is the best news!

Yeah, I didn’t think about that because I was raised as a Yankees fan (I know, I know, haha), so I mostly default to thinking about the DH. But my point still stands in terms of the AL, I guess. Just another reason to drop the DH, I guess. Not that I’m up on the current list of pros/cons that get thrown out in that…

My issue with all of this throwing at the batter stuff in baseball is that the batter doesn’t have any real recourse. The problem, as I see it, becomes that the pitcher isn’t ever directly at risk for doing something like this unless they do something both dangerous and obviously intentional to be immediately ejected,…

Hmm, thanks for the tip. I’ll have to check that out for my thermoses, drains, pipes, contact cases, and jewelry.

That brief staredown on Durant after he lands... beautiful. I’ll bet that felt great, haha.

Not that he completely dominated or even put him on the ice on his back (though he seemed to get a little close), but Panarin definitely didn’t lose that fight with Upshall. Here’s the YouTube link from the article above. I particularly like those two shots to his ear right there before Upshall stumbles and the refs…

Should’ve vouged instead. “Check out this face, bitches.”

I’m sure you already knew this since you recognized the picture/person, but even the short-form story behind the shot is nuts. From Wikipedia, for those, like myself, who weren’t aware:

My poor, poor, five-foot two-inch mother (she’d kill me if I didn’t mention that it’s technically two-and-a-quarter-inches...).

Sorry but... Ana, not Anna. Not that it matters that much, everyone knows who you mean, just thought I’d be the dick that points it out, haha.

My wife learned to make paprikash from her Romanian-immigrant grandmother and this... is not that.

This is bullshit Big Cold making you think you need to bundle up, but these Real Men™ are showing America what’s what and who’s who.

“Hi, I’m King Eyebrow Man, aka Anthony Davis, here to talk to you kids about tampering. Tampering is bad, even if all you did was ask for a trade in technically not the correct way, and really other people have been mouthing off at you all along that you should come to their teams, and they didn’t even get fined. And…
