Yeah but with visual art, I can still look at pictures of it and get nearly the same experience. Looking at pictures of someone else’s food is not remotely the same.

Sure. We can go with that. Either way, Kelly Oubre being dumb and getting himself suspended is nothing for the Boston fans to be mad about. It’s not like he injured Olynyk or anything.

It’s cool. Both entities can be dumb.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? You didn’t actually respond to my comment, “genius.”

And the Rockets still lost to San Antonio without Kawhi out there. That doesn’t prove that him being on the bench with an ankle injury wasn’t a plus for them. The Wizards were unable to use a valuable player. That gave the Celtics an advantage. The fact that they were unable to capitalize on that advantage isn’t…

Fuck you for pointlessly shoving our center and getting yourself suspended, an action that hurt your team and helped ours?

He said that people “like” the sentiment. Like isn’t really the correct word to use in that sentence unless one is speaking of internet “likes.” If he meant that people “agree” with that sentiment, then he should have used that word. Basically, I’m giving him shit because his comments on the thread above this one…

Clinton lost, in part, because of the criminal allegations against her. As bulletproof as Trump has seemed so far, that was Trump the candidate. If people aren’t happy with their healthcare of the economy or another war we’ve gotten ourselves into in four years, reported malfeasance from Trump and his team could…

Stop editorializing and do the math. When you skew crime rate stats for poverty, the difference between whites and blacks goes away. Other races who may or may not be discriminated against are beside the point. Your argument is that crime stats prove that blacks are more violent and prone to crime than whites. I’m…

What the other commenter said. I was born in 1980, so I just barely made the cut into Generation X. I get the impression that Albert is a year or two younger than me, which would make him a millennial, though just barely.

Yes. What he did was not procedurally correct.

So you’re a mind-reader? What number am I thinking of right now?

He announced it to Congress, knowing full well that Congress would blab. Same difference.

Suppressed votes or not, you acknowledge that he won by very thin margins in many states. Even if the Republicans suppress the same number of votes in 2020, all the Democratic nominee would need to do is swing a handful of previous Trump voters in key states over to the other side. The popular vote totals are…

Gen-X? Pretty sure Albert is a millennial.

Countless? It has 13 stars so far. You can count to 13, right?

Even if no criminal charges are ever filed, a major bombshell from the FBI or another organizations investigating Trump could be enough to swing the relatively small number of voters who won him the last election against him in 2020. That’s pretty important.

From the outside, all we can know at first is how things look. But where there’s smoke, there’s often fire. So when someone complains about “optics,” they’re essentially saying, “Holy crap. This looks bad. I don’t have proof yet, but this is probably really bad.”

I had no problem with Comey investigating Clinton. I had a problem with him announcing that he had pointlessly reopened the investigation into Clinton right before the election. Comey himself seems to be troubled by that decision as well.

Now control those results for poverty. The difference goes away like magic. Get rid of the institutional racism in this country and you’ll see the black crime rate drop to the same level as every other race’s.
