There’s plenty of flopping in the college game. I’d even say it’s worse than the pros because the size mismatches make it tougher to officiate. It drove me crazy this year how refs would keep calling charges on a big man backing down his man after the defender would just flop on first contact.

Interruptions? Like a media timeout every 4 minutes interruption?

He’s right. Damnit. I hate Mark Cuban, but he’s right.

Why does HS BBall go from 4 quarters to College BBall 2 halves back to 4 quarters in the NBA? It make’s no sense.

Nice tips, I guess, but I’m still wondering why I would ever attend a party where I don’t know anyone. Did I black out and find myself there when I came to? Was I forced there at gunpoint? Did the party form around me for some reason?

To be fair, making it about ourselves is what people do. If someone is raising money for cancer research instead of AIDS, there's a 95% chance it's because cancer has affected them somehow, and AIDS hasn't.

And since some willfully ignorant dipshit is bound to yell that they don't believe you (because they don't want to) here's a source they can deliberately not read:

Is this a joke post or serious? You do know about all of the mass murders of Christians going on in Kenya, right???

My town of Wilkes-Barre has had 7 shootings in the last week. All were minorities shooting other minorities except for one. 90% of the shootings over the last three years in our area are minority on minority. Its tragic when cops cross the line, but not all of them are killers or terrorists. People like the author and…

Because I know that someone in the comments will talk about how dangerous it is to be a police officer, just wanting to come home alive, etc.

It is more dangerous to be employed as a landscaper in America than it is to be employed as police officer. This is a fact that is true and is verifiable.

I get that, and I actually know someone who’s going through a similar thing with the same kick-ass attitude. Great! But like you say, it’s one person’s way of coping. I hope it doesn’t become par for the course. Like: hey, X is so positive and badass about handling her cancer, you should be too!

Opening day Rangers crowds are notorious for this. We bought four tickets for Opening Day in 2012, and sold the two next to us. The couple paid $300/ticket, showed up in the third inning and left after the bottom of the fourth.

How does this happen? The worst f’ups in the world know to get a few banks of porta-johns when facing an incomplete project and crowds. But the concessions too? Sheesh, someone needs a pink slip.

I was visiting from Houston, and had a prior engagement I had to attend. So I left around the third inning.

i’d honestly consider drinking from those cups before having a budweiser.

Living better? That's debatable. Better healthcare? 'we' need it because of all the illness from the chemically enhanced processed foods and the rest. Live longer? You do realize the present values are driven by who's old or recently dead now. When was the prime of their lives? Can the present debt laden american…

I always find this hard to fathom. Middle class but can't afford the roof over their head. What is middle class then? "Middle class" neighborhoods are now just high crime rate areas now. "Middle Class" lifestyle is folks eating ramen every night to afford to survive lol. It's like the words never change, just the…

That is not a good definition of a middle class. By using the measure off the median that doesn't mean it's middle class. If the median is dirt poor and below subsistence then 200% of the median will still be poor.

It takes a lot of debt to have an american 1950s middle class lifestyle even at the upper bound for my…

The problem is that "middle class" doesn't actually mean what you think it means.

Most of the time, household income means two or more incomes. So if you are pulling in $40-$50 K by yourself, you are doing better than most.
