This is also something people do to cope with panic/anxiety attacks (usually by themselves, but it’s good to be able to walk a child through it).

Black Hole 2020

People like you overusing centrist are just as annoying as Republicans who overuse socialist. You clearly have no idea what the word means; it’s just a knee-jerk reaction to throw it out there against someone with whom you disagree.

No! Once you get above 740-750, everything else is GRAVY. Enjoy your hard-earned A+. 

Ya know what takes even more effort than telling your kid no? Actually discussing internet safety protocols with them as soon as possible. These safety issues don’t magically go away when they become an adult. Everything you teach them will still be relevant when they become old enough (in your eyes) to get a smart…

He signed off on that ridiculous settlement. He can be ready ‘til the cows come home after that; he signed his own career death warrant after that fiasco as far as I’m concerned.

Republicans are arguing that preventing the president from appearing on the ballot is an attempt to limit republican desires to go vote, thus spurring even more democratic control of California on the ballots (as they face off the top two vote getters in November, not just the leading dem and republican).

However, there’s not one thing in the constitution that talks about primary elections.  

Somebody, somewhere in the IRS or elsewhere has seen and knows what this crook is up to and has access to his tax returns.  A huge reward and a promise of anonymity should be put out there.  Same thing with compromising tapes from The Apprentice.

Not gonna lie, I lost it at “becoming a rapper”. Live the dream Granny Q.

Good thing she was not a black cosplayer, or this would have been a completely different post... on The Root.

France really got fucked over by the draw. They got the hardest draw of all the top teams.

This is the one storyline I just don’t understand and personally I believe it’s just a ploy by kyrie or maybe the lakers. The two of them (James and Irving) have nothing else to win or prove together, I really believe their egos cannot coexist, and it makes no sense to me. I don’t think I’d even sign Kemba if I was…

People said they were in cap trouble unless they got the Pelicans to agree to delay the deal or got it amended. What they’re doing is now trading 6 players and 5 drafts worth of picks to get one guy on the roster. They’ll now have 3 guys under contract, one max slot, the room exception and a bunch of minimums. The…

Oh, an infant can’t react to a line drive hit at it? Thanks for clearing that up. Sorry I didn’t make it obvious for you, but I was trying to get at the fact that an infant is the smallest target in a large group of people where at least one of them should have every instinct to protect them.

How does an infant (I’m guessing sitting on someone’s lap) get hit by a baseball in a sea of people? It’s not like this was a Rays game...

I know it’s shitty but reality is Deadspin isn’t NY Times. Also, this is a heavy topic does the author have enough credibility to handle it?

“status as a blogger for Deadspin probably doesn’t warrant a response”

As geeky as that is, I smile inside everytime I say it. Like TJ commented, “Computer, lights on/off” is probably the most-used phrase for me right now.

If they made them "all you can eat" salad bars, people would end up taking *less* food, because they would get full before they could end up taking a "tower" worth of food.
