The Falcons and Saints were the first southern teams. Problem is, all the (white) southern football fans were already fans of the Redskins, partly because they were the southernmost team at the time, partly because they had a racist owner who actively marketed to them (their fight song used to include the line “fight…

A Keurig coffee maker with variable brew amounts brews the same amount of coffee no matter what size you press. So if he’s drinking six 20-oz coffees per day, he likes to drink a shitload of terrible, watery coffee.

That was cool because it was football players playing rugby for a play, not because it was great rugby.

Repealing the 2nd Amendment would allow for local communities to implement common-sense gun regulation according to their needs. Cities like Chicago and DC have had regulations overturned by the courts on the basis of the 2nd Amendment.

Would you?  Just call and say there’s a car illegally parked.

You appear to have no idea of what actually causes most car-bike collisions. Let me know when you’re ready to discuss the facts, rather than your perception that bicyclists are assholes.

Who would have thought that a sport where people get hit in the head until they can’t stand up could be so bad for you?

In Michigan, it’s illegal to kill a dog using a decompression chamber. So if you ever find yourself here, you’ll have to resort to good old-fashioned stabbing.

Looks like those clowns in Washington did it again. What a bunch of clowns.

Reach out and touch someone...

Well, the hits start coming and they don’t stop coming
Escaped the rules ‘cause I’m good at running
Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
I play with heart even though I’m dumb

If you buy a new front door because you’re concerned that your current one with a mail slot is easier to kick down in a violent home invasion, you’re either living on the set of The Wire, or you’re a little too concerned about something that, statistically, will never happen to you.

I acknowledged that cyclists can be responsible for their own fatalities - “rare” doesn’t mean “never.” But statistics show that many more cyclist fatalities are the fault of drivers.

I’m not sure which part of your analogy is the car using their cell phone or turning without looking or signaling - can you clarify?

Please, excuse me. I was trying to pedal away from a Tyrannosaurus when I ran that red light, so it wasn’t my fault.

How often do those cyclists actually injure anyone besides themselves when they’re acting like idiots? I’m not trying to support their actions in any way, but people acting like assholes but rarely causing serious injury to anyone is a completely different conversation than cars literally killing people in every major…

Agreed - and to be honest, that’s the incident that came to my mind as a counterexample as well. That’s why I said it’s “rare” for a bicyclist to endanger others, not that they never do. But the fact that we both evidently thought of the same incident is pretty telling as to the relative scarcity of such incidents.

Watch out, those straw men are flammable.

It’s even more rare that a cyclist would put anyone besides themselves in danger by doing so.

Those bikers are idiots, and no, I’m not going to defend them. But they’re almost always only risking injury to themselves (yes, they do occasionally injure pedestrians, but it’s relatively rare). So that’s a different conversation than drivers breaking the law and literally killing people every day.
