That people generally don’t know the difference may be true. But a newspaper’s job is to explain it. A news division’s job is to explain the news, and an opinion division’s job is to put the news in context.

I put 5 random cars (as they popped into my head - real scientific study here) into the NHTSA’s website to see how many recalls they had:

Agreed. But I’m guessing it took a traumatized teen two years to be ready for that fight.

Thankfully, the little dude’s on solids already. Solid frogs.  Provided those kids didn’t diet-shame him out of his love of swallowing them whole.

The Mandalorian’s tribe is also living in hiding on a planet far from Mandalore, like some sort of extremist cult.  It may be that HE was raised within some cultural practices that would be considered rather strange by most Mandalorians. It’s not clear that he would even know he’d been taught unusual things about the…

Ok, but only if we get a Devito Deadpool. Fair trade.

Yeah, white guy calling a Native American “chief” and not bothering to learn his name is period-appropriate. If it weren’t for the right-out-of-a-John-Wayne-movie smoke signals, it could have been an interesting portrayal of small racism. But then the movie went for caricature and I just sank. Other than that, it was…

I loved it, but for one painfully off note no one seems to acknowledge.

I was trying to imagine what happens when two guys pull that move on each other. I think it ends in a headbutt.

Yeah, but he buys suits as though he’s not as big as he thinks he is. It makes perfect sense. In his imagination, he needs the big and tall store.

Your comment combined with your username made me cry and laugh together, which is pretty much the best reaction I can have to this world, so thanks. And I’m glad you’re finding some happiness along with the grief. Nothing ever really cancels anything out, I know. But I’m glad you have what you have today. And a…

We’ve all see this a billion times. He wears ties from the Big and Tall store, and they don’t have the heart to tell him.

Yes, and I think it’s psychological. Those ties dragging on the floor? That happens if you buy the longer tie made for taller guys and you don’t need it. He’s shopping as if he’s larger than he is, because that’s how he sees himself, and he ends up looking like a kid in his dad’s suit because nothing he owns fits.

Source: A decade ago, I was a reporter covering Native American issues. I moved on to other beats and haven’t engaged seriously on that in a decade, so some of my knowledge is undoubtedly out-of-date. But land use law changes slowly, so I’m pretty confident most of this still applies.

Jon’s already been burned, so we know he doesn’t have Dany’s magic fire immunity. When Lord Commander Mormont was attacked by a reanimated dead body (season 2 or 3 I think?), Jon threw an oil lamp at it and burned his hand in the process. Spent a few episodes walking around with it wrapped.

This, this, a thousand times this. American police are also trained to interview chronologically, and taught that information isn’t reliable if it can’t be recalled that way. There have been a handful of police departments that have experimented with a different method for interviewing sexual assault victims (if I…

Precisely. I don’t know the man and can’t speak to his psychology, but something about this feels...performative.

I believe you’re fairly young, from your mention of university, so let me just say this from an older perspective — by your 30s, that idea that there’s something wrong with “breaking up over sex” seems absurd. It’s fine to break up over sex.

Guy-to-guy, I just want to say this — be extremely careful not to let your empathy for her struggles with expressing her sexuality get you into a situation where your sex life together feels like it’s unsafe for you. I’ve been there. I had to learn that, though I understood *why* my (now ex) wife had the struggles she…
