I want to see Danny Kincannon take on Sarah Sanders so bad I can almost taste it.

Most of the stories I’ve read have mentioned Kenworthy as also being openly gay, but it seems fair to me to call Rippon the first openly gay athlete to qualify for the US team. After all, Kenworthy wasn’t openly gay when he originally qualified for the US team.

Of course, they’ll always have Kansas. This place might has well be the rectangular Alabama.

Well, if your town is trotting out an ambulance every time someone hangs up on 911, then no, your town isn’t even remotely typical.

Stop with the tort reform nonsense. Costs related to malpractice accounts for just under 2.5% of medical costs in the U.S. - and that’s including the extra costs as a result of CYA defensive medical practices.

“Think of it as the whacka-doo down the street with the big gun collection... He probably doesn’t need all the guns, but everyone knows he’s got them, and ain’t nobody robbing his house.”

Of course, no one told us that we had to spend money like a drunken sailor on shore leave while also slashing tax rates for some of the richest people in the damn world while we were doing it.

Which isn’t even remotely the same as saying that she’s smarter than everyone else.

It doesn’t seem silly, and you don’t have to justify it to random assholes on the internet. Just because you weren’t having a heart attack doesn’t mean that you didn’t belong in the emergency room.

Which will have absolutely no effect in preventing most such infections, but hey, feel free to be a jackass.

Go to the ER. Trust me. It’s not just the pain management - you really do want to make sure that the pain is from the cyst and not something else.

Because people who are in such intense pain that they can’t catch their breath and can barely walk should absolutely sit around and try to self-diagnose or maybe just hang out for a while and hope it goes away rather than muss up a nice tidy emergency room. Much better to risk serious complications from an untreated…

Setting aside the fact that urgent care centers aren’t open 24/7...No. No. And no. If you’re having such acute pain that it crosses your mind to wonder if you’re having a heart attack, then no, sitting in an urgent care center waiting room is NOT the right move even if you didn’t wake up in this pain in the middle of…

The only difference between a defensive missile and an offensive missile is where they’re pointed when they’re fired.

The fact that there are people that have to work until they drop is offensive, but the commercial itself wasn’t so bad.

On the other hand, if they’re going to blow millions of dollars on an ad (and of course they are), I think I’d rather them humble brag about how awesome they are to can water than to have them actually trying to get people to drink that fizzy yellow stuff they normally can.

Bingo. If your Super Bowl ad requires people that are already familiar with your company and the ad campaign to explain it to the casual viewer, then it’s a very, very expensive failure.

You seem to be missing a fairly important point, though.

The Tide commercial was actually genius. Simple almost to the point of stupidity but stopping before the point where the viewer feels insulted, played to the oft-repeated maxim that on average you have to get your product/message in front of the target’s eyes 7 times before they jump, and possibly most importantly, not…

I can just imagine the meeting in Atlanta. “Hey, I know how to sell more Diet Coke! We’ll change the formula of the better, more popular product that we for some insane reason thought we’d introduce to compete with ourselves and massively increase the suckage!”
