You beat me to this.

It’s the natural follow-on from Facebook’s “data wants to be shared” ethos.

“People want to play together!”

Well, yes, in limited circumstances. I enjoy playing Final Fantasy XIV with my wife, and my brother-and-sister-in-law, because we all know each other, get along well, and have solid communication between ourselves.

…

The gaming communities toxicity is slowly surpassing that of sports fans. It’s ridiculous how bad gamers as a whole have become. It’s also why I hate this push for everyone playing in public spaces and games not having private matches, LAN, Dedicated servers, etc.

I actually think the Rockets are going to try to do this—they should take the 2016 Cavs playbook and run Curry ragged through screens until he’s matched up on Harden. If there’s a Warriors defensive possession where Curry isn’t getting run through a screen, the Rockets aren’t doing their job.

The best way to do this is something that 6'6" and under league used to do: any foul after six is two shots and the ball. If you’re a cool player you stay in the game with six fouls, if you’re trash you go sit down.

That’s impressive, but Michael Jordan averaged 0.1 more retained facts per game during the ‘90-’91 season, and that was with fact-checking and hand-checking

disrupting the traditional huddle industry

Do the unwritten rules apply to people who can’t read or write?

Look there’s nothing that matters more to working class whites in Real America than women’s distance running, advanced hydration techniques, and expensive running shoes

Conor and a few others understood that part of the game already. But what we have here is “when keeping it fake goes wrong.”

Are we doing this? Because if we’re doing this then we’re going to have to address the elephant in the room:

It’s almost as good as her impression of a real human woman with feelings on the inside. I try and picture what she would does for fun on her own time and then realize that she probably hasn’t had any fun since the age of 7, when she started working on that perma-scowl she sports absolutely every minute of every day.

Lost in all this is that it’s pretty fucking clear Trump has no idea what a trade deficit is.

I assume that knowing the true inner workings of Trump’s mind would carry the same horror factor as knowing firsthand. what the inside of an elephant’s asshole looks like.

Everything about this shot is perfect. Chip Somodevilla deserves a fucking Pulitzer for this: photographic timing, capturing the pocket square in the background, everything. I love this so much.

Good.

Glad we are finally getting serious about people being polite and respectful as they play a video game together.
(fixed that for ya)

“I’m just asking questions” is such bullshit. You don’t actually care about justice or the victim. You just enjoy being sanctimonious online. We’re in a phase where online mob mentality undermines foundational principles of justice. The idea that you need to pile it on is pure mob mentality.

Is the victim asking for help? Are you her hero that she didn’t know she needed? They settled. What do you want? It’s nice knowing that the truly righteous and without sin can be found in the Deadspin commentariat.

He ain’t losing shit. The target audience of the companies that sponsor him probably think those txt are ‘funny AF’
