Yeah but people use that same type of reasoning in converse to suggest that unsuccessful people don’t work hard. I.e., you don’t deserve government benefits because you’re poor, which means you’re lazy. Tons of people work super super super hard and are never going to rise above working class.

OK, I’ll bite. And since your screen name is a fictional basketball coach, let’s do it in basketball terms. Tim Duncan works insanely hard at basketball and has for the majority of his life. Workouts, film, diet, sleep and other lifestyle, he did everything he could to maximize his talents. He worked hard, and you…

The distinction - and it is an important one - is that successful people work hard to put themselves in positions to be lucky. The people I know who complain about being unlucky usually do nothing to improve their circumstance, they keep doing the same thing and wonder why everyone around them keep getting lucky.

I don’t know what the hell you’re getting at but I’m positive you could have used more words than you did.

It’s really hard to get the message the writer is sending when you don’t read more than the headline of the article.

He violated one of the unwritten rules by hitting a home run while a member of the San Diego Padres.

Well, the two are not mutually exclusive. You can be delusional and still understand your actions and what they will cause.

A trained psychiatrist evaluated him and they are usually really good at reading bullshit. I would assume this one would be especially good at it because they work with the courts.

Maybe, maybe not. On one hand, look at him and listen to his statements, pretty unhinged. On the other hand, if he ever “un-crazys” himself, he’ll still be on the hook. Incompetency to stand trial doesn’t waive charges and stays any applicable statutes of limitations, so he’s still going to get the book eventually.

It depends. What were you wearing?

People are having them below, don’t fret. Any time a nice wedding is covered, there is a face-off beginning with someone who had their wedding at the greyhound bus vending machine with a dress they found while foraging for melted down candle sticks.

The villain of the Justice League movie is Zack Snyder

There’s always someone on posts like this talking about thrifty (i.e. superior) they were at their wedding but I’ve got you all beat: not getting married saves SO much money!

I love you. I just came to make the same zone of danger comment.

Jenny Slate dating Chris Evans makes me so happy for both of them. Like, get it girl.

Gendry and the High Sparrow have never been n screen together. Coincidence?

Because there is nothing left to tell with Gendry. People need to stop acting like that is some dangling plot thread. If it helps you, pretend Gendry is with the russian from the Pine Barrens.
