The dude thought he just got assaulted by a hard foul. Gonna go out on a limb and guess he wasn’t thinking all that straight to begin with.
You keep your phone in your pocket when you’re playing basketball?
I think it’s standard operating procedure at a place like that you don’t let a rando use the desk phone to call 911.
Would have to be wouldn’t it? Who else is there?
It absolutely is science, man. Anyone who says otherwise is in denial. Everyting from MMOs to mobile games are specifically designed to funnel purchasing things in apps or downloadable content and part of that is to keep them playing the game for as long as possible in a sitting. We know this, it is not a secret.

Hs talking about people who have died during sustained gaming binges, which is a different thing than the example you’re describing with the tv. You speak of data: do you have examples of someone sitting for so long in front of the TV for a sustained binge that they die of exhaustion or dehydration? Because we have…
Haha not really. I got two MAs and afterwards decided I was going to be kind to myself now that I had time to read what I wanted to so I mostly read genre fiction and I don't feel even a little bit bad about it.

The way it stimulates you through rewards, etc. The feeling of finishing a book is not the same as finishing a boss fight, and that’s just a fact. That being said, the negative aspects of gaming are more related to design than they are…
There are Jews in Ohio and Jews who wrestle, believe it or not.
“Loose association with the deep state” = Odds are one of them is at least half jewish.
Hey Charlie Brown I have a football here. Why don’t you try to kick it?
Speaking as someone with a toddler, it would be extremely easy to just assume she was speaking gibberish. Just the other day my kid was in the bath and accidentally sat on a dinosaur toy. She got up thinking she had to poop and a dinosaur fell out of her butt on the potty. She started saying “A dinosaur got stuck in…
I would love to know how you think the decision to dub or not dub an episode of Pokemon effects the discourse surrounding freedom of speech in the United States. Fucking please tell me I have to know.
Oh bullshit. He came up with a prototype that he could tweet about but that about a thousand different people with experience said would never, ever work for a cave rescue.
Not really. Did he actually do anything more useful than thoughts and prayers?
