I agree with all this, but I fear that your invocation of Nate Silver is not going to go over well here.

It’s not the most useless, just the easiest to replicate cheaply.
Said one person commenting on a Splinter thread to another (i.e., we’re clearly invested in the details of this). Just try explaining a scandal that involves a secret whistleblower, Ukraine, a fired prosecutor, military aid, and Joe Biden’s son to some guy in Pennsylvania who doesn’t pay attention to the news but…
At that time it would have been a club hockey game which maybe would have had a few dozen people in attendance at a shitty rec center near the football practice center. The concert is far enough away from the football building that the part of campus approaching the football building would have reasonably been…
And beyond your joke, it’s also probable that the campus would seem deserted if people were inside those arenas and not walking around when McQueary stepped outside.
There’s a very simple reason why McQueary didn’t go to the cops right away: sometimes when we see things that go against our pre-existing beliefs, our brains work their asses off to come up with reasoning. McQueary respected Sandusky as a football coach and seeing him rape a child was outside of what he expected. So…
On the other hand, Twitter, etc., so I guess I get it, although he’s totally fucking wrong here anyway.
““It’s so easy for us to blame and shame because everyone has a voice now,””
Imagine framing “everyone has a voice now” as a negative.
Willing to bet he doesn’t realize that by comparing this to an ambush what he’s actually saying is that he wasn’t, at that time, prepared to defend his own supposedly firmly held beliefs.
Bullies and cowards are terrified of their peers. I bet this pissbaby wet himself just a little bit while hiding in that elevator.
Poor little fascist snowflake gets “ambushed”. He’s a bully and a fucking coward that hates the people he served with and abuses the power the people have given him to reward the greed and prejudice of assholes like Trump.
It’s insane to me that in the year of our Lord 2019 we’re still having “Cam Newton is selfish” conversations. The guy has had no offensive line, no noteworthy receivers, and a platoon of overrated running backs basically ever since he came in the league, and has muscled them to numerous playoff berths and a Super Bowl.
Cam Newton is playing injured and probably has been playing injured for the last 3 or so years. He continued to play, because the Panther’s only other option at that point was...*check notes*...A literal robot who was programmed to throw turnovers and make racial slurs. He didn’t play because he was selfish, he played…
Yeah, that’s where Yang lost me. I don’t see how you can view this guy’s comments as anything but malignant. Honestly, if you manage to hit the trifecta of blatant racism, anti-Semitism and homophobia in the space of one podcast episode, that is clearly not a slip, not a one-off, and I feel completely okay taking that…
Reeeeally edgy and risky and new, there, bro.... Surely Asians have never heard the -ink word before, right?
I think the difference is that this is a situation Yang had no need to engage in.
I’ll admit that I often find people complaining about humor to be overbearing. I found Dave Chappelle’s new specials funny. That said, nothing about these statements are even good “jokes” and they all just rely on laughing at someone saying something regressive.
Well OK, sure, but I don’t think she cares if you care or not. I am pretty sure if there was a movie based on your life that positions you as doing some pretty awful things (especially if you deny you did these things, whether you actually did them or not) you probably would feel the need to comment on it. Also there…
Yeah, I think people thought that introducing this stuff in early levels would get people used to it and help them deal with the change curve (ala hybrids to full electric) but this shit is just flat out dangerous.
