Wow it just keeps getting more culturally relevant. I can really see why so many people are defending this kind of event as important. I sure have learned my lesson today.

Fuck him and his bullfighting self.

He was good, friendly, affable, generous man. With a family. A small daughter. Who tortured and killed animals to entertain a mob.

What? Nobody on the internet made him climb into a circle and try to kill a fucking pissed off bull. If you want to grieve for his family, maybe he should have had them in mind when he decided try to slowly kill dangerous animals for a living. He died doing something dangerous and barbaric in a silly costume- that is…

Oof

Ah the replies to you are cracking me up. Basically the same arguments used by useless trash people throughout history. “It’s a different culture, you don’t understand what it means to us.”

So does that mean the bull won? Like, does he get to go home to his wife and kids after? Seems like he should.

Also, Ben Roethlisberger is 35 and has openly flirted with retirement,

Here’s one very small part of the thing: Middle America isn’t a small town in downstate Illinois, it’s suburban Chicago. The New York Times in particular has anxiety about being in the bubble of moneyed Manhattan and sends unqualified journalists to do pop-anthropology in North Dakota but doesn’t send anybody to tell…

You sure it wasn’t on purpose? You seem delightful.

USNews rankings are so flawed I am loathe to use them, but they currently rank Berkley at 20 and U of M at 27.

Wisconsin isn’t too bad on both fronts either.

That caught my eye too. If it’s not about competition, why enter state competitions? And if you read the article, it was pretty clearly about winning and losing to the girl who came in second.

Wouldn’t the wrestling analogy go the other way?

I guess. It’s great that he’s supportive, of course, but he comes off pretty selfish to me, like “as long as me and mine get whatever we want, everyone else can get fucked.”

That’s a shit take

It’s because she is a woman by gender identity only, which in 99% of the cases, is all that matters, but in sports, she is biologically a man with all the advantages that conveys.

As Sarah notes, this is a tricky issue. As far as where transgender people want to take a piss, that’s really their business - use whatever restroom you’re comfortable in. However, this kind of thing affects other people. The biological girls that got their asses kicked in these races have a legitimate gripe, in my,…

Pull into the intersection. If the intersection is big enough, pull up enough so another car behind you can get in too. That way when the light changes, you don’t screw over the person behind you, and you both make the light.
When people sit behind the line at an intersection, I want drag them out of their cars.

My experience in 25 years of driving is that 90% of people give zero fucks about the cars behind them. They want to get through the intersection, but don’t care if anyone behind them makes it or not.
