Good call. Both of you made some fine points, and I bet you two agree more than you think. But there’s a point in the argument where the participants are talking around each other, and we’re definitely at that point. Good on ya to seek civility in an internet message board!

I know I’m late to the party, but, this passage from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is clever:

Well, when police decide to stop doing their jobs entirely instead of just the 50% job (note, figure not intended to be precise) they’re doing now, it makes it more likely that they’ll be fired, which ironically might be the thing that improves things the most. People who blindly support the police regardless of their…

Here’s the thing, though. People /don’t/ want to vilify chips, and they /don’t/ want to wear the socks. What people want is an effective police force that treats people with dignity and respect, but still manages to maintain safety. I don’t think that’s too tall of an order, and when you treat people who ask for this…

Sigh

Is it too rude to post Mr. Bungle - Squeeze Me Macaroni?

Pretty sure you mean: “he hanjo”

“Would that this hoodie were a time-hoodie!”

Yo, if the players play poker with people who aren't players, and the players are better, then it becomes a net positive aggregate for the players. Pretty sure that's what that guy meant.

Sometimes, all I can think is, “Jesus H. Christ! What a fucking asshole!”

Most of the reason that a person wouldn’t get convicted of that is because, in general, people and DA’s don’t care about what happens to women very much. The point of talking about this, and if fairness and justice were a thing we cared more about, prosecuting the guy, is that people would start to understand just how…

“My girlfriend elaborately made me homeless”

TROY: Are you sure?
ABED: Yeah, I’m fine.
TROY: F-I-N-E or F-Y-N-E? [To Britta and Annie] We made one of them a code for “Not Fine.”
ABED: F-Y-N-E.
TROY: Okay, he’s fine. Let’s go.

Yes, keeper gloves are awful smelling. I play once a week for a couple of hours, and my gloves that were brand new in the spring are wilting the plants in my apartment. The one pitiful strawberry scented Yankee candle is no match for them at all.

All the catchers and first basemen. All basketball centers. The fourth runner in the relay teams.

This guy got on TV in 1985 game 7. “Sing now, fatty!”

The A’s don’t get a lot of press when they’re not performing well, so I kind of expect him to show up any time there’s a “Let’s Remember Some Guys” post, even though he’s still playing.

Exactly right. I thought of Trump right away when I saw the facial expressions. This is really taxing my cognitive dissonance tolerance abilities.
