I can see that argument. It’s less about the legal similarities between the cases and more about taking a case with REALLY bad facts (exposing a sex tape in Gawker, a guy shooting up a fucking restaurant because of you) in front of a jury and hoping they leave emotion out of it. Even if Comet’s case wasn’t legally…

Your first point is contradicted by your second. “Westbrook should play more, but while he’s playing more, he should only pass it to other guys so they don’t forget how to basketball.”

Well, time to look on the bright side for both my Thunder and Celtics.

I think it was Rebecca Solnit who suggested that an appropriate answer to this question would be “Because I’m really good at using contraceptives.”

There’s no shame in it, but people don’t understand that many women are childless not by choice, but by shitty circumstances and bad luck. It’s an incredibly rude question to begin with, but also extremely emotional and upsetting for a lot of women.

Aunties are so very important!

I only ever played the first DKC and wasn’t a big fan...

I hear you. I dunno. For me, I’ve turned into a hater...just a hater of all things NFL. I’ve been a big pro football fan most of my life, but over the last several years I’ve really become sick of it. The big business, the owners, the sociopathic players, the CTE, the mainstreaming of dummy 20-something-year-old-…

Moderate would be a better term. Certainly not a republican since he actually supported improving the lives of those not wealthy.

True. And the double standard of “defending sexual assault” by those who brought charges against him versus... any other women’s rights issue... leaves us begging for a stronger word than hypocrisy.

I think docrobert1511 does have a point, there are obvious power dynamics at play here that I glossed over.

give me the good old days where Wes Welker took MDMA at the Kentucky derby. Now that’s hijinks!

The point is they were both up-and-coming TEs on the same team and rising stars in 2012.

I find is act tiring, but that’s because I’m an adult.
