Is Scott Elder trying to capitalize on the Pickle Rick thing from a couple years ago?  

I always knew I was getting cheated at this.  My biggest pet peeve though with AIs, especially back then, was that in games like Starcraft, they had the ability to execute multiple unrelated actions at once.  They could send a force of zergling to invade you and manage their resource gatherers at the same time. …

they’ve kinda touched on OW porn in the past as it’s own thing.  And while yeah, it’s super pervasive, it’s not as weird as some of these other ones, or as supposedly aweseomely bad as the Potter one.

I think Theo’s biggest indictment is that he traded away Gleyber Torres for 1/2 a season of Aroldis Chapman with NY, then let him go back to NY. NY basically let CHC borrow Chapman for three months in exchange for a guy who will be among the best players in the league for years to come.

It would be one thing if there were any other sports to truly care about in Chicago, but I’m pretty all the other major pro teams are, or are going to be, butt. Red Sox fans are fans now, but when the swoon comes in September, they just pull the old “Homer into the bushes” thing, disappearing as a Sox fan and…

Abolish field goals.  Take the foot out of football, and change the name to spheroidball or tackleball.

Or maybe it’s hard to keep the WS year after year.  And unlike his time in Boston, where it was pretty much only NY and Boston you had to contend with (sometimes one of the other three would be decent enough to fake contention), Chicago has a St. Louis and Milwaukee both as good teams in their own division.

At first I was like... there is no way that $22T is only 110% of GDP, but then I looked it up and holy shit, the US GDP is nearly $20T!  I guess it’s been a lot longer since I studied econ in college than I thought.

I can only foresee in a couple years, Trump gets re-elected, and starts selling off National Parks and protected areas, privatizing the management of SS/Medicare and other programs, to reduce the national debt.

Even I’m not old enough to remember McD’s fries prior to the switch from beef tallow, so I never understood why people always thought their fries were so much better. Fries were fries were fries in the 90's. I’m betting that half the good memories people have are just nostalgia from the excitement of going to McD’s as…

Apple Cider Vinegar.

I recently read how he was brought in not just because he was a great player, but he was a great person.  He was treated like crap as a young player himself, even when he was really good.  He vowed to never be like that to future young players.  

Look at the map. The distances from Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, or Iran to the attack sites is too far for pretty much any drone. The KSA air defenses may have been “pointed south” (which seems like a dumb argument but whatever) but they sit northeast of the sites.  They probably came from within the KSA, with help from…

It really sucks for Betances though. Dude has been like, the best reliever in baseball since 2014, even with only playing in one game this year.

Yankee Stadium is for some reason actually playing slightly as a pitcher’s park this year, depending on RHB or LHB. A righty in NY has it about as rough as the west coast parks, which notoriously suppress runs.

I mean, we have to be getting to a point where some head coaches grew up playing Madden, right? I grew up playing Madden, and I never punted or kicked field goals, and most people I played with didn’t.  That’s how you freaking won the game.  Going for it on fourth down regardless of the yardage situation.

I recently listened to a podcast with a Nigerian(Igbo)-American journalist as the guest... The Igbo people and the history of Nigeria are just so fascinating, and the the real awful shit the Empire did there is overshadowed by the awful shit they did in other places simply because Ireland is white people with a large…

I’m super judgemental towards addicts. I know it’s a disease, I know it changed brain chemistry, I know it’s not a moral failing. But part of me is always like “stop making the bad choice" even if they literally can't not make that bad choice.  My wife is a good moderator of this in me.  She's a Very Good Person.

I relate to that guy’s fiancee. I have a similar relationship with my dad, and because of my now wife standing up to him when we were still only dating, I ended up not talking to him for like nearly a year. She keeps her mouth shut now just to keep the peace, and my dad has mellowed with age and distance.  

Maine might be the worst for insularity. My wife grew up in central Maine, close-ish to Augusta. Went to school in NH where we met and we lived in a town actually bordering Maine. She might as well have been living in the fucking moon according to some of her family. She was officially “from away” ever since, tainted…
