Most people I know are looking for any excuse to believe that every problem could be solved if some arrogant prick was just held accountable for their incompetence, so claims like this resonate pretty well.

I think the opposite is worse. I’m not comfortable lying as the article recommends (not saying it is unethical, just that from an anxiety level it causes me too much stress to justify pretending to be sick) so I end up not using all my days.

I’m always partial to “guy who was on coaching staff for aging player when he was good.”  He knows how to get the most out of him!

When they draft an all-pro pass rusher with the 24th overall pick you will all be eating crow.

Field Goal percentage at Soldier Field since cutting Gould:

I’m sure the rise of the wizard plumbing industry was a real boon to Hufflepuff graduates.

“99.9% reliable” is not a phrase I would use to describe any broadband provider I’ve used.

Watching that gif and never having the 3 points added to the score chyron hurts me.

Somewhere in Tacoma, WA there is a year-end corporate income statement which reads:

It is true, but only for the most frequent of flyers. Generally speaking, most airlines will upgrade people for free into any unused first class seats, but it goes to the people with the highest frequent flyer status level. Unless you are among the 2-3 most frequent flyers on the plane, it will never be you. (Usually…

I found it somewhat incongruous this Christmas when all these articles were going around about how you shouldn’t buy from Amazon because it is so physically demanding to work in their warehouses, yet so many articles before were about how Amazon is wrong for automating.

Every single time you see a videos like the one above, it comes with a note saying “don’t worry, they were totally fine.” Are people actually holding back hilarious videos where the person involved was seriously hurt, or are they just lying to us?

Looks like a banner day for for “Mega Doo Doo” section of this website.

Three things I believe to be true:

I am so tired of people who don’t enjoy Chipotle deciding they are morally superior to those who do and turning it into some kind of humble-brag (“I’m just the sort of person who has a higher standard and it isn’t worth it for me to risk my health for a burrito.”). Nobody is impressed.

I’m skeptical that companies like Netflix voluntarily pulling out of Saudi Arabia would topple the current regime and lead to a new egalitarian state, so I have a hard time say Netflix has a moral obligation to stop doing business there.

The other day I heard Mike & Mike (or whatever it is called now) say something like, “[TEAM A] keeps getting those grand slam plays, but [TEAM B], they can get home run plays, but they can’t get the grand slam.”

I’d put that in a different category since people are choosing to abbreviate as opposed to being unable to spell correctly.

I’m curious what your baseline is because I think most people have always been bad at spelling, are we talking about a change verus 10 years ago?  20 years ago?

Sports pundits are the ultimate proof that the Sherlock Holmes “once you eliminate the impossible...” logic is complete bullshit, because there is always some other scenario that they fail to consider that ends up being what happens.
