Don’t be an ignorant ass. The racists in Orange County are just-on-top of the radar.

Glorious stuff.

Speaking of which, where is the damn W-S catalog post, Drew? I need gift ideas!

My recollection is that MLS originally used a countdown-style clock like this, but everyone hated it and they switched to the standard soccer time system after a few seasons.

I have spent the past week playing Junkenstein’s Revenge in Overwatch with some friends. Rather than take any of the objectives seriously, we have just tried to get the best photobombs. Laughs all around, while the poor random 4th player in our group gets furious at us for emoting Torbjorn in front of Junkenstein’s…

An underappreciated statistic about Markkanen is that 0% of the hairs on his head have moved from their original position since opening day.

Of course they have a choice. Ownership of various pieces of intellectual property doesn’t equate to ownership of labor, and there is nothing stopping anyone under contract at Barstool from saying, “You know, I think I’m done here.” If PFT signed away a nickname he had long before he ever became affiliated with…

I’m not sure how that relates to my comment—perhaps you meant it for someone else?

I think that trying to compare earlier time periods is just impossible. The Internet’s ability to mobilize large numbers of people to scour FB and Twitter histories and anything a person has ever said has led to pervasive social media firestorms and an environment where the specter of Big Backlash keeps companies like…

I’ve said several times that PFT Commenter deserves better opportunities, and I can hardly criticize him for taking the ones that are offered to him, but the longer a person sticks with Barstool, the harder it is for me to feel sorry for them.

And still better than any other striker on Everton’s squad list.

The thought I always have when seeing this sort of stuff is...how do they have time to figure this stuff out? The sheer number of hours required to know a game this well—let alone to devote to practicing the precise execution of glitches—is just staggering, and I cannot wrap my head around how people who do this still…

Great episode, and I especially liked the bit where you mentioned how the Mercy culture of hiding has been created by other non-Mercy players telling her to hide. This is true, but it also left out that Blizzard is also to blame—one the in-game “Tips” that shows up for Mercy explicitly encourages you to play more…

The gripe about “undoing the hard work” other players just blows my mind every time I hear it, and it sort of makes me scratch my head why conversations (such as this excellent pod episode) never mention what are (to me) the most obvious responses.

YOU KNOCK BOISE AND I KNOCK YOU

About 2/3 the way through the article, it dawned on me that I was reading about curling with the same intensity and interest I read about basketball and football and soccer baseball. I think I’m going to take the rest of the day off and re-think my life.

We are ABSOLUTELY best internet friends. Only a love of Dave Martinez can unite souls across the ether so quickly.

Dave Martinez, a journeyman outfielder in the late 80s-90s (and apparently now a bench coach). Why did I love him? Because I thought he looked really tough in a baseball card I had from his time with the Cubs. Oh, the eye-black and awesome hair!
