For me, Joakim Noah will always be the guy who took that missed 3 at the buzzer trying to win everybody a Big Mac. I'm glad he got that payday w the Knicks but it was a bummer to see him go.

Besides, what’s inherently better, more authoritative, or less cringey about asking a fucking impersonal algorithm instead of people? Nothing.

There is a deeply stupid assumption built into our society now that slapping a couple terms into a search engine you barely understand is “research,” and that you should “do…

There isn’t anything superior about looking something up on google than asking live people, anyway. The latter is generally better.

“I thought “quixotic” was pronounced kee-OH-tik (because it’s based off of Don Quixote) not kwiks-AH-dik (rhymes with exotic).”

Wait what

You have to take the guy with a gun because he’s an auto-lose on the outside. It doesn’t matter if your rat army or whatever kills him, he’ll still shoot you. The choice is then how to maximize gun guy’s effectiveness.

If you can pick your terrain, get a truly massive tree with very thick foliage and take gun guy and…

What exactly does a “rapid response justice team” empowered to prevent, say, a lynching look like?

You’re never going to see this until the US disarms its civilian population. As long as there’s roughly 1 gun for every man, woman and baby in this country, cops are going to be geared for that reality.

And it’s peddling zombie lies about GMOs that are profoundly condescending to the actual farmers who use the technology!

Sorry, but people were killing themselves too much with coal-gas ovens so the tyrannical government made us switch. It’ll just make you nauseous now.

Sure, it’s not a trend though.

Eh, if she says no definitively McConnell probably wont even bring it to the senate floor. The guy is pretty good at not getting caught with his ass in the wind on a vote.

It’s not truly meant to be fun. Once you read about its precursor, the Landlord’s Game, Monopoly’s gameplay makes a lot more sense and is actually sort of brilliant.

It isn’t capitalist propaganda. Exactly the opposite. People get angry and bored and frustrated because they’re quite literally supposed to.

You’re right about everything you said, except that Monopoly is badly designed. It’s not any fun, but it’s brilliantly designed for its original purpose: making you upset and frustrated. It wasn’t supposed to be fun. It was supposed to make you hate rentier capitalism.

It’s not about greed exactly. It’s about rentier capitalism. You’re supposed to come away from it angry and upset, and in favor of Henry George’s universal land tax.

This is by design. Monopoly is a brilliantly-designed piece of physical rhetoric. It is expressly designed to seem fun at first before making you angry and frustrated and more hostile to rentier capitalism. How it became marketed as a good time is beyond me.

No idiot, I did not google the catagorical imperative because I

Delaying deportations for 6 months was already part of ending DACA, and the debt ceiling has nothing to do with this story.

Wow, you took the time to write [sic] next to a typo in a BB blocked quotation, and then you did it again next to a word that’s spelled correctly. [Sic] burn.

Complaining about powerful women’s nasty voices is a popular way to be misogynistic without being *too* misogynistic.
