I got one of the last XC70s they made, a proper AWD Swedish family truckster. It will occasionally yell at me loudly if I creep up on someone in anticipation of them exiting, and it will hit the brakes if I approach a toll gate a little too hot, but those are minor annoyances compared to what you’ve described. I’ve…

I remember maybe 15 years ago playing Tiger Woods against some little shit kid who was using Tiger maxed out on ability, and I was just building a profile from scratch, and he would not stop heckling and insulting me as he thrashed me all over the course. Know what I did? I called the ADL to complain. Oh, wait, no...…

I had something die under my front porch recently. I could tell by the smell and the increased concentration of flies in the area. Underneath my porch is pretty inaccessible, so rather than hire someone to come in and charge me an arm and a leg to remove it, I figured I’d just wait it out. Sure enough, the decomposing…

Heck yeah, I’m with Hope. Give up the “job” and take the deal the men have: no salary, no guarantees, and the same exact percentage of the pots available to them. And if they want access to the bigger pots, well they’re just as good as the men, right? Better, even, from what I hear! We can have a head-to-head playoff…

Ordering the fries “well done” helps.

Just one more overly complex thing the dealers are going to make a killing on in maintenance and repair.

This is going to be so hokey, and I am so in.

Your anecdote about “fuck Trump” is a completely unnecessary nonsequiter, so I’m guessing it never happened. Godwin’s Law V2: Bringing up Trump when it has nothing to do with what you’re talking about.

That anecdote up top didn’t happen.

I wanna hear him say, “It’s in the cup!”

Any criticism whatsoever of the political position held by some “people of color” and you’re automatically an overt racist. Gotcha.

Love a guy named “Bradley” arguing proper Spanish word choice with what appear to be native speakers.

I grew up in Maryland. As a young boy, I had been lead to believe Georgetown University was a top local school that I could set my sights on. And then I heard Patrick Ewing speak. I was so confused.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. Most tired tropes crammed into one sentence.

All those words appear to be from the English language, of which I am a native speaker, and yet...

I guess my response got deleted for having the temerity to point out facts and cite a reference, but basically it’s not against any law. Their work conditions and work requirements are not the same.

Against what law? There’s a passage in the Equal Pay Act describing jobs, “the performance of which requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions....” The women and men play in different leagues against different competition. Having the same technical job…

I guess my question would be, do FFP rules specifically prohibit this, or the Mbappe transaction? Or are these just openly available methods for the more creative teams to circumvent the spirit of the rules without actually violating them?

A lot seems to be missing from this. Job descriptions and requirements, for one. An ounce of basic economics for another. What’s the motivation for these QA people to do these shitty jobs for shitty pay? Are they not qualified for anything else and they just want to be a part of the gaming industry? Is it a foot in…

Banner day when climate scientists admit they didn’t know something.
