OMG! People are disagreeing! Don’t these supposedly tolerant liberals know that tolerance means never disagreeing with anyone ever or else you’re stifling their voice?!

I’ve always found Phil’s zen-master schtick to be extremely tiresome. But he wasn’t coaching me, so my opinion of them doesn’t really matter. To be honest, I find coaches in general to be pretty tiresome, be they the overly optimistic brand or the angry, hateful brand. It seems like his hippy motivational speaker

I tend to agree that Phil Jackson is overrated, but coaching and personnel management are very different skill-sets. It’s not really fair to imply that Phil being bad at being a team president retroactively makes him a bad coach.

I’m with you. As long as you (and I) remain cognizant that it may just be due to blissful ignorance. If we saw all the worst moments of just about anyone’s life, we would call them a monster.

I don’t mind people making that decision for themselves on who they find gross and want to support. But it makes me uncomfortable when people decide to pile on. I mean, I’m not crying tears for Casey Affleck or anything. It sounds like he is, in fact, a pretty shitty guy. But it bothers me that no one (meaning liberal

How is that different than any other skill?

Creep or not, Affleck’s performance was better.

You sure can. But dude...if your team is just an entertaining, scrappy, low playoff seed in the near future, you’ll be okay. Especially if they become a serious contender in five years or so. Don’t get so caught up in The Process being validated that you let yourself be disappointed by moderate success if it comes.

Sex offenders should not be discriminated against. Isolating them from the rest of the population leads to more recidivism. Seriously. I can find studies that show it to be the case if you don’t believe me. Allowing them into a community with people who support them and will check in with them is much safer for

That’s not what she said! Did you actually read the letter? She said that she was worried for a moment that she would be tempted to cheat if she lost weight again, but then she examined herself and realized that she had grown as a person and didn’t need that kind of craven self-esteem boost anymore. Is she lying to

I’m not saying it’s impossible that the couple in question’s child has picked up on things that the wife hasn’t. I just don’t think it should be assumed.

I think that’s a bit of a straw man.

Yeah. Someone else corrected me on that already. There could still end up being a huge difference between one and four in terms of outcomes. Not that I’m down on any of the specific players who are likely to be available there, but you nothing is a sure thing, especially the lower you go in the draft.

Still. Anthony Davis is healthy and the Pelicans still suck. One player doesn’t make a team and we have no idea what Simmons is going to be yet. Optimism is fine, but your timeline is way off. Even if Simmons and Embiid turn out to be Kobe and Shaq, they didn’t start “seriously winning” until their fourth season

That’s certainly possible, but if they’re getting along normally and seem happy all but one month out of the year when the husband is a little bit more prickly than normal, that doesn’t sound like any danger to their child. Children may be more emotional intelligent than adults in some cases, but they’re not

That’s not at all what she said her thought process was. Either you guys have terrible reading comprehension of they’re just itching to misconstrue stuff and make a person look terrible.

It’s certainly possible that it’s more than a one month a year thing, but I think we have to take the letter at face value. Too many of commenters read their own past relationships into things and assume stuff that’s not in the text.

Sure. That’s why going to see a marriage counselor is good advice. People can change. Even after 13 years of marriage.

She didn’t say that was the first thing she thought about. She said that it crossed her mind because she associates being thin and more attractive to guys with a time in her life when she made a terrible mistake out of neediness. Acting like her thought process was “Oh boy...if I lose a few pounds, I can fuck a
