Yes, they are. For starters, many addicts in the favelas do spend what little money they have or obtain on drugs, but also, to the extent they’re exchanging labor for drugs, they’re just cutting out the middle man “cash” in what is otherwise the same relationship.

And yet here we are in a situation where people are drawing comparisons to him anyways.

Well, for starters, I tend to laugh at any usage of “#team[whatever]” that is serious, considering the origin of the tag.

Dude’s got his lies, his damn lies and his statistics.

Dominic West was great and I wouldn’t trade his run as Jimmy McNulty for anything, but if I had to put money on who the average metropolitan mid-grade detective looked more like ... It’d probably be the guy who was overweight, middle-aged and Irish/Scottish-American.

Or this guy.

And to the extent you don’t want to lionize him for doing this, that’s fair.

This is, sadly, a deeply incorrect statement. Plenty of poor people in the favelas are users and addicts.

This whole “expose” is classic “Limit 10 per customer” sort of marketing on their part.

I’ve also wondered, in cases where kids are deeply unbalanced for other reasons, if violent video games (or really, violent media in general) don’t serve so much as an outlet as they do a fertilizer for the imagination going to dark places.

If they didn’t arrest him?

Gotta choose man. It’s either bad enough that you should burn it down or salvageable.

It’s a bit more cynical than all that.

Maybe his motives are great, but isn’t it really simpler to think that this is really:

Obnoxious old guy Randy Galloway dominated Dallas sports media for a long time, but between Dale Hansen and the little Ticket, I think those of us in the DFW area really do have some of the best sports media in the country.

Wait, so I really only had to cut my daily snack of a cattle salt block in half to avoid stroking out?

Just to give you a good hint for this fun little game, I would suggest taking a look at how close the North Dakota election was, in conjunction with a look at events that took place in the Senate on July 28th, 2017.

So if you want to vote for her you’ve got to reconcile that [with your desire to vote in pro-gun-control candidates],” says Watts.

It seems like you would need to study things longitudinally to really know what it means though.

I’d honestly be surprised if she even participated in the hiring process beyond a brief interview.
