Yeah, I’m stunned Salty didn’t emphasize this more. You’d be stunned at how many people fail to remember that servers are paid to be nice to you. Telling you her name, paying attention to your every word, answering your questions, laughing at your jokes, making little chit-chat...all of these are basically part of the…

Supposedly it also preferred by advertisers. I can’t speak for this personally, but it’s universally cited by companies as a reason when people ‘pivot to video’, so presumably it’s at least somewhat true.

Depends on what you mean by remaster. If it’s purely updating graphics, then yeah, it’d be kind of iffy. But if it’s more of a real update - making the factions different, removing the early 90's wonkiness, etc, then it would be great.

I’m actually just guessing he’s going to keep endlessly ‘working to reveal the truth’. Just keep pushing that narrative of tantalizing evidence and a really good story if you only knew the truth.

If only they’d gone the North Carolina route and made that benefit available to all students, not just athletes, they could have gotten off clean.

That’s why you write it on the back of a business card or something else similarly innocuous.

22. “It’s for the Federation to decide.”

Just to further the point, here’s a list of the Top 5 teams in cap room this year: Cleveland ($110m), Jets ($79m), Colts ($79m), San Fran ($78m), Tampa Bay ($64m), Houston ($58m). You might notice these teams were all in last place in their division this year and the top 4 (Browns/Jets/Colts/SF) have been awful for a…

The problem is that in most cases, good teams are already fairly close to the cap - so in order to front-load a $30 million cap hit now, you’d need to basically skip the entire free agent signing period and possibly even cut a few guys to make the numbers work. So while it could be beneficial to your ability to add…

I don’t think the optics matter to the GOP. I mean, the two biggest things the GOP did last year were (a) almost passing a major gutting of Obamacare, despite every proposed bill having horrifically bad poll ratings and (b) passing a tax bill which gives the vast majority of its’ benefits to corporations and the…

That’s an over-exaggeration though.

Last time I said we need to find a way to stop a nut with a gun—and that’s all I said—I get an email saying, “I’m saving my last bullet to put it right between your eyes.” Just another responsible gun owner in America.

The different (less effective) methods that do exist can’t be implemented right away because they face the same political barriers that repeal does.

I went to high school in the mid-1990s, and still remember the long, sensitive conversations teachers tried having with us after the Columbine massacre because it seemed so unprecedented.

You forgot one other piece of irony: All of those armed guards need to be willing to work for free because (a) most schools are already operating near their total budget and (b) people would probably vote against raising taxes for it.

Clearly, Trump has never actually called the cops before. Because unless there’s some kind of clear evidence beyond “well, he’s been acting kind of erratic”, the absolute most that might happen is an officer stopping by the kid’s house, have a five-minute conversation, write a short memo, and completely forget about…

One more key issue:

It’s pretty hard to stay invested in a bad team under those circumstances, and the promise of neutral fandom doesn’t do much for me, personally.

No one owes you an explanation for why they don’t want to go out with you again, or why they don’t want you to come back to their place.

Totally agreed. I tried the GameDeals freebies thing for a while and found the same thing - just spam and useless temporarily free.
