I’m sure I’m far from the only one who feels like a chump for preordering a $60 game that only now, months later, is at the point where it should have even started a cheap Early Access period, let alone been anywhere close to even talking about a full-price release. Won’t be making that mistake again. Rust may be a…

The after-game birthday party with your elementary school basketball team would have been a far better meal, as one of the parents would have picked the food up within like 30 minutes of the time to eat it. This crap almost certainly spent several hours going through the various layers of White House security and it…

Oh, there’ve been other such sentences, but they also contained words like “housing” and “lawsuit”.

Remember that time Jay Paterno’s dad spent years covering up a systemic child molestation operation taking place under his nose?

Turns out that whole union thing actually offers some sort of job protection to go with the decent salaries and benefits. Who would have thought.

why wouldn’t a team try him out as an OC first?

Not really, no. Erdogan is obsessed with Gulen and his followers, of which Kanter is one, constantly calling them Islamic terrorists and the like when they’re actually much more moderate than his faction. So he makes diplomatic trouble for people like Kanter because they’re public figures of Turkish descent who don’t…

Despite a mixed resume and some poor performances, the American continued to gain popularity amongst Russian fans. He was recognized on a regular basis and was stopped for autographs on the streets. Much of that fandom was due to Monson’s public support for the Russian Federation, his outspoken criticism of the…

Alternately, nobody remembers it because there’s a mass shooting every fucking week.

The ‘Tics of the Premier League, one might say.

Yeah, people don’t care about player salaries nearly as much if the Dodgers and Yankees can just run $300M payrolls every year and keep outrageously bad contracts on the roster instead of having to choose between getting out of them or getting financially punished for not doing so.

Of course, people had plenty of…

“AAU has a system that doesn’t automatically teach good fundamentals for their players, leading to young talent never fully developing” is a reasonable argument that he could have made. Instead he went with complaining about teenagers taunting and making mixtapes. If that wasn’t an intentional dogwhistle hinting at…

No, there really actually are. Literally trillions of dollars in revenue the government would have otherwise received was lost because of the 2017 tax cuts to rich people, and that’s just in the first 10 years. The long-term number is more like tens of trillions of dollars lost. And that’s just from the tax cuts. An…

Yeah, let’s take a few:

“I’ll be 39 next year, smoke, and after leaving an awful ad agency job, been stuck paying $901/month”

Smoking is the one thing the ACA allows insurance companies to charge significantly higher rates for, since it leads to significantly higher medical bills. Try stopping and your bill will go down…

The ACA subsidies should be higher, but seemingly nearly all these people who wrote in apparently make too much to qualify for them. It sucks that you have to pay $500-800 a month if you want health insurance with a freelancing job that makes 75k a year, but the primary beneficiaries of the ACA were supposed to be and…

The term doesn’t really mean anything, but if the question is whether you asked Lebron about a random game 12 years ago whether he’d be able to tell you how many points he scored and specific plays from that game, yeah, I’d believe that. A lot of the very best athletes seem to have incredibly good memories for that…

The thing is, there are plenty of modern societies where games like Call of Duty are popular and you see buses with giant ads for them, and yet those societies don’t have regular mass shootings. The correlation isn’t whether a society fetishizes extreme violence or not, it’s whether a society allows itself to be…

They will, of course, be paying off their winning bid in 25 yearly installments.

At least he leans into it though, every home game features a segment on the jumbotron with his “Jokes” where he sits there giving the most deadpan unfunny recitation of corny lines imaginable. It’s spectacular.

“My bosses/coworkers don’t like me using naughty words at work and I like paying my bills on time so I’m going to stop doing that”

Yeah, that’s the actual definition of maturity - figuring out that doing and saying whatever you want whenever you want has consequences in the adult world, and if you want to be successful…
