Setting aside real time to just READ. An investment of time, rather than money.
I used to spend entire days reading as a kid, getting lost in the story. Life seems to get in the way now. Setting aside a whole morning/afternoon/evening (or two of those!) on a weekend to blow through a book, or a good chunk of an epic…

You also need to find a trusted person to clear your browser history and destroy your hard drive.

Just switched over from Firefox ESR (after making sure all my add-ons were compatible). I can definitely see the difference in speed - this new version is fast.

First you dim the lights to set the mood. Next you look them right in the eyes. Then WHAMMMMOOOO right up side your head.

It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off.

It’s also a neat monetary fact that, if you start with a penny and double it every day for an entire month, at the end of the month Sarah Huckabee Sanders will still be a total asshole.

This is the rare Deadspin comment that needs several more paragraphs of explanation.

Yep. Men are getting called out for being creepy more and more lately. Rightfully so. But this puts many men in the position of always feeling paranoid of coming across as creepy. It has become increasingly passe for a man to just approach a woman out of the blue and asking for a date.

Fuck Jerry Jones. Fuck Donald Trump. And fuck the Cowboys. You ain’t America’s team anymore. That honor belongs to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

That comment was a real journey.

Seems like CSPD ought to be less worried about the calls coming from journalists, and more worried about the calls

I’m repeating this over and over with the zillion people responding to my comment, so I apologize if I’m terse, but here we go again:

It’s not the legal backing to secession that I’m referencing, because secession is categorically illegal and unconstitutional in the US, but the philosophical backing to…

Whether it is illegal or not makes no difference as to whether or not it is immoral.

in the time it took you to write that stupid fucking comment, you could have gotten $10 for nothing.
