I though the article built to it. Everything that came before was context for this reveal - including the headline. This was more of an analyst piece that a strict news article, so it didn’t use the inverted pyramid structure. Maybe you think the article should have been structured differently, that’s legitimate, but…

I disagree - the article was reporting on the condemnation of the booing, which was useful to me because I hadn’t heard of the incident. Maybe to a sports fan it was a pointless rehashing.

Haisley did mention this in the article:

I never knew different facial hair responded differently to shaving - I always assumed the stubble was too short to make a difference. Thanks for filling me in.

Who the hell gets razor burn with cartridges?

That Pod video is hilarious, I couldn’t stop laughing.

My sister has that language. One time she wanted a set of pencils, and my mum individually wrapped each pencil - my sister was legitimately excited with each unwrapping. “Yellow! Excellent!”

When I read this book a couple of decades ago it really opened my eyes to how I relate to people. At first I couldn’t figure out what my love language was, because I recognised and appreciated all the ways when people showed them to me. So then I considered what happens when someone does the opposite; if we never…

I don’t get the Daily Show in my country, but that seemed to work. I would put it as an average level Jon Stewart show, but a big part of how good the shows are is what there to be talked about, and, of course, experience and finding-one’s-feet.

You need the right partner, though. Sometimes the other player is so useless it’s like you’re playing the single player version anyway but somehow have to play it for two people.

Everyone considers my wife to be lucky - which I guess reflects well on me.

I really liked the end of this article. I tend to differentiate happiness (a superficial and temporary feeling of elation) from joy (a profound long-term pleasure in one’s life and how it is going). Everyone has different definitions, of course.

Pedant trolls are, anyway.

Good lord - I once heard the energy explanation for introverts and extroverts, and was so impressed that someone had finally found the right words to describe it. Now I learn that that person was Carl Jung, and it’s actually the official definition of introverts and extroverts.

They had Street Fighter Zero + Alpha at a place I used to work, and I used to hate fighting Adon because he had a move - the jump and zoom-kick, whatever it’s called - that I couldn’t block or evade or defend against in any way, and people would just spam that at me. Tedious.

Man, I didn’t realise sabotaging yourself in-game just to troll other players was a thing. That explains a few things. One time in LOTRO I was in a group taking on above-level trolls with groups of orcs - we could handle a group and were leveling nicely. Even if we accidentally aggro’d two groups we could handle them.…

On "opposites attract", I think something needs to be similar, but what that is depends on the couple. Using my wife and I as an example, we disagree/d on a lot of things, but we both agreed on what constitutes a valid argument so we could discuss anything and everything until we could work together.

Is that canon? Because that's a very interesting take.

I never got that. "Bringing balance to the force"...but there's hundreds of Jedi and just two Sith, so wouldn't balance mean either more Sith or less Jedi? And as it turns out, it was two Jedi - Obi-wan and Yoda. So, balance achieved.

Only in the metaphorical sense.
