Yeah, this is gross, but how different is it from the “look at what this dysfunctional person did” stuff that sites like Jezebel run regularly? What was it, two days ago that there was an article describing a, presumably not wealthy, woman who’d been in a domestic incident and offered to lick the arresting officer’s…

One is married to a professional guy with a college education, the other is married to a high school drop-out with no teeth.

My understanding is that a big name is worth a certain amount of money. What I want to know is, why?

The prediction rate is much lower than that. So much so that you are better off just choosing the home team rather than the “better” team if you want to make predictions. The skill element of the game that we can measure doesn’t pull ahead of the unexplained variance until around game 70 out of an 82 game season.

There were also black slave owners in the US, so any definition of “YALL” ought to include them as well.

That’s because Germany, like Canada, is one of those reasonable countries where the animals that can severely injure you look like they’re properly dangerous. They tend to to be big, furry and somewhat reasonable.

Not sure I’d be down with that. Snapping turtles are one of those animals right on the line between animals you catch and animals that catch you.

It could certainly be interpreted as a rape joke but, seeing as I didn’t immediately make the connection, I willing to say he should have probably just received a warning and issued an apology.

No offense Erin, but in the linked article you do the victims and the piece a disservice by attacking Young and Hoff Summers for their body of work. Their previous articles, whatever you may think of them, are immaterial to the facts of the case and the point you’re making.

I’d guess, besides the fact that they have more money, it’s because he has them in a bind. If he sues Sulkowicz it becomes a question of whether he raped her or not.

I understand that this is good advice, and I really didn’t like that growling, but I’m being a bit of a hypocrite. I grew up with big-ish dogs (German shepherds, a husky) and I used to play “rough” with them all the time. We’d run around and knock each other over and play catch me if you can. I’d even end up with…

My point is that I don’t feel there’s any conclusion about what Rice feels or thinks to be taken from that video. We know that he punched his wife. That’s the only thing that anybody can certain of.

I have my reservations about your, or anyone else’s, ability to evaluate what Rice was thinking in that exact moment by watching a video tape.

The most damning thing, to my mind, is that she resorted to traditional smear techniques rather than addressing what the Soaves wrote.

NO ONE SHOULD HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY.

Fuck Jeffrey Loria.

Only a Leafs fan could look at the tire fire they call a team and conclude that it's their elite scorer that's problem.

I would wager that might have something to do with the difference in quality of competition available to the men and the women.

That does appear to be what he was doing, despite how much everyone here would like to believe otherwise.

Yes, modeling is a real job—an actual profession that takes hard work and real skill. Yes, it's a problematic industry that often fosters sexism, racism, and body issues. But if we're going to punch it, let's punch at the industry itself, and not the models doing their jobs.
