nah i’m right there with you, tried the following:

It’s always interesting to me how absolutely any coverage of GameStop coming from Kotaku is negative in nature, and is always against the retail investors who were trying to make the billionaire hedge funds pay for their greediness. It makes you wonder whose in whose pockets...

Then, also consider that they have 3192 stores in the US at the moment, each with, lets say 5 employees a piece ( I’m quite sure that’s an under estimate, but for the sake of maths lets go with it). That’s almost 16,000 employees nation wide, each getting an extra $1000/year, which is roughly $16 million dollars in…

A few years back some friends had organized a beer-lympics where everyone competed in several events throughout the day. One of the lesser drinking-involved games was kickball. I’ve got a nice buzz on, and I’m playing center field when someone launches a long fly ball right in my direction. I’ve got a beat on it, but…

The Post reported it. Yeah, it’s a rag, but that’s the underlying rumor for motive as of right now.

Man, when will people stop underestimating the Islanders?

This was not a trial, there is no ‘innocent until proven guilty’ standard required to be met here. Let’s not forget, this isn’t a normal legal proceeding in any sense; it’s a glorified job interview.

I’m sorry, but sometimes, ‘might have happened’ is enough. If I’m looking to hire someone for a position, the fact that…

One time a few years ago, I was playing kickball with some friends. I was in centerfield, and someone kicked a long fly ball into dead center field. I can see that it’s going over my head, but I’ve got an outside chance of running it down if I hustle. I’m keeping my eye on the ball, running full sprint towards making…

I met Okposo a few years back at an Islanders Meet & Greet event. Despite meeting hundreds (if not thousands) of fans that day, he was really friendly and nice and even took a picture with me. I hope he gets well soon!!

That’s about the only possible scenario in which I could possibly consider gaining even a minuscule amount of respect for Tom Brady. Short of that, he is a cheating, overrated system-quarterback that supports the pussy-grabber, and no amount of him winning Super Bowls will ever change my mind.

You mean to tell me, if I call in and ask if they have Battletoads, it will no longer qualify as a prank call!?

I firmly believe that the ‘Bloody Sock’ in the 04' ALCS between the Yankees and Red Sox was a hoax. There’s no way they let him pitch in Game 6 if he actually has that injury. They threw some ketchup on there because they knew if he won, they had Pedro going in Game 7 and would come back and win the series, and it’d…

I was just going to post that link myself. If you’re not on George Carlin’s side, well, then you’re probably on the wrong side.

To be fair, I don’t think they explicitly forbid it either. They do forbid violence though, in all its forms (or at the very least, highly discourage it.. I’d imagine self defense is an exception), and acknowledging as much makes it difficult to ignore the double standard Ali forced Americans to deal with.

Heres the thing though. The Muslim faith doesn’t prohibit killing as the only form of violence. It prohibits violence as a whole. By your logic, rape is acceptable in the Muslim faith.

Boxing is a blood sport where the participants bludgeon one another until there is a victor. There may be rules that mostly prevent outright murder (I say mostly because people HAVE died in the ring, or directly from injuries incurred in the ring), but thats only because its a sport and there has to be some facade of…

This has little to do with race. White people were drafted too. Again, I don’t actually oppose of the stance that the draft was bullshit, because lets face it, it was. I take issue with the fact that people DIED while he didn’t even face jail time for being put in the exact same situation that he was. In an ideal…

It’s one thing to stand up against a law you don’t believe in. That much is fine. But if the law isn’t overturned when you fight it, or isn’t found to be unjust or unconstitutional when you fight it, then you get punished for breaking that law. If you fight a law by disobeying it, you understand that if you don’t win…

No, I don’t mean that, since that was a case based on whether or not his belief in the Muslim religion was a valid reason to be excused from the prison time he was otherwise sentenced to for being a draft dodger.

What you’re failing to understand is, other people without his platform who did the same thing, based on their principles, were sent to jail for up to 5 years. Potentially hurting his career (they didn’t, by the way, he came right back and reclaimed his World Championship Title after his hiatus) is the removal of a…
