Counterpoint: Don’t fuck Chelsea Manning.

She’s the Caitlyn Jenner of traitors.

Bernie Bros proved there’s support for a far-left candidate that loses the nomination and runs in the general anyway. Especially if one has ties to a deeply anti-US information smuggling operation that’s possibly a front for the FSB - serious Manchurian candidate vibes.

Yeah, for all that people want to lionize her for trans rights, she committed borderline treasonous action in retaliation for being demoted. I’m happy she’s out of prison, but I’d be even happier to never hear from her again.

And, importantly, practical security measures are basically never taught to these people on a formal basis, so they don’t really know what’s dangerous and what’s not.

I’m fine with this. The current regime doesn’t think it’s their job to govern, so the rest of us have to make up ad hoc rules as we go along where we need to.

I get that there’s a strategic element to it in football, but when the game clock isn’t running, they still end up waiting a lot of the time. I think that’s going to happen with pitchers, as managers and coaches start to reason: “If time is rationed, it must be valuable, so taking more time must be better than less…

The problem with the pitch clock is that it’s going to end up being like the play clock in football - because there’s 20 seconds allotted, 20 seconds is how much time pitchers are going to starting taking on every pitch, the whole thing will backfire and games will take even longer.

Even by Dragonball standards, he’s a one-dimensional character so there’s not much to do with him.

Advertisements are a common malware vector, because media sites let them load whatever scripts they want. Media sites that can agree with advertisers on a simple and secure API that limits functionally what ads can do get whitelisted. Everyone else goes into the “unclassified threat” column, because that’s exactly…

You can fool anyone with this shit. Stick a camera and a microphone in their face, ask them a leading question that sounds like you expect them to have an answer ready, and you could manipulate Curt Schilling into complaining about conservatives.

The best-selling album in the US in the 20th century was The Eagles’ Their Greatest Hits.

PL mid-table teams can steal a match now and then from the big guys, but there’s basically no difference between them and the top half of the championship. Their better relative performance versus the top tier says more about the style and conditions of play in England than it does about the quality (money is probably…

I’m shocked that there are people who a) didn’t know this and b) care about it at all but c) haven’t bothered to try googling it.

A .22 short (common for recreational shooting) is pretty damn small. It’s not super likely that one would be overlooked after several incidents, but it’s not impossible, either. A pellet gun seems more likely to me, though - with that it’d be harder to get an attempted murder rap if you ever got caught.

Fuck that, Sound Tigers are awesome and I don’t care. Wizards aren’t real but we name a team after them.

The worst kind of fan is the kind that drones on for 48 and a half minutes (interspersed with the occasional commercial) about what the worst kind of fan is, trying to spin their lukewarm prejudices and poorly conceived thoughts into some kind of controversial take.

Tonya Harding isn’t the worst, by a long shot, but she is a disgrace and while I don’t wish her any particular harm, I do wish she never succeeds at anything in life sufficiently to have her name in the news ever again.

I think it’s totally appropriate for the right couple. I know people for whom having someone do a live Hamilton rap at their wedding would be absolutely be a high point in their lives that they’d talk about glowingly forever. I also know people that would absolutely hate it. The point is, you have to know the people…

Yeah, I’m pretty similar. I’ve always preferred going to the dentist to Arby’s.
