You can have great parents and still turn out to be a horrible person. My parents were awesome. I, on the other hand, am an asshole.

He was also completely unaware that there were roughly 10 seconds remaining in the period.  All he had to do was backcheck for a few seconds and wait for the buzzer.  I don’t understand trying to get a change in that situation.  Especially when he dropped back to cover for the D then all of a sudden stopped at the…

I know a lot of people are going to take satisfaction and glee from this because of Marchand’s previous actions. But keep in mind.... just kidding, fuck that guy.

Man, what a great post. I was lucky enough to play before the “elite-level year-round club” became so pervasive, and I agree that that cost barrier has largely hampered home-grown soccer development.

One of the few social development things that America actually outpaces the rest of the world is women’s athletics. Chalk the 13-0 victory has a product of Title IX’s success rather than the soccer’s evolution in this country.

Jumpers for goalposts.

Having seen the film, I would say that it’s only “sensitive” in the sense that it’s clearly grounded in the pain of the main character; it’s not just using her pain as a cheap way of showing that the bad guys are bad. Indeed, part of the brutality comes from the men’s bumbling capriciousness; they’re banal evildoers…

The Guardian framed this story differently:

That probably depends on the story. It sounds like a lot but who am I to tell someone how to structure their story or what to put in it?

I get the impression you’ve been waiting a long time to tell this story.

That would certainly reduce my height from 6'2 to 5'8. Thanks for the useful suggestion.

Prices have risen for me for the routes I’ve taken since childhood. Not sure what you mean. Unless you mean after inflation?

The newer AA cabins are terrible. Took an AA flight from Kentucky to Dallas (Airbus) and the pitch was close the seat tray came down and folded out into a half tray configuration and then could be folded out again if it would fit. The guy next to me had his knees so far into the chair in front of him he looked to be…

Just to point out that this whole tipping bollocks is unique to the US. Other countries pay bar staff a living rate, and tipping is voluntary, not a way to have customers subsidise the bar owner’s cheap-ass payments. Speaking from Europe, here’s now to be a good regular: First, be regular. Then, be nice. All of these…

And six stars! At this point it’s easy to see why urban traffic is so fucked up. At one time I had a regular commute across a congested bottleneck of California freeway. I never used the far left lane as it was always jammed full of aggressive self righteous enforcers and usually stationary. In lanes 2&3 I would…

Indeed! Your self righteous insistence on not yielding to merging traffic is the fundamental building block of most urban traffic jams.

Yeah I’m confused here. I commute between Manhattan and North Jersey every day, and this would be considered a very friendly merge, particularly in this kind of traffic. Maybe not well executed here, but totally understandable. Who knows though, it’s a little tough to tell everything happening here from a dashcam…

Honestly I don’t see what the white Sequoia did wrong; it appears to be stop and go traffic, it also appears there is a left exit or split coming up (watch till the end), the Sequoia signals to move into the lane, there was a white accord directly behind the Sequoia therefore if the Sequoia slows they’re slowing…

LH must pay really well if they have become your “go-to destination for men’s basics.”
