Well there’s more to it than that. When you want a company to succeed, you pretty much go beyond what your job is. Startups are all around and we all want to be showered with stock options when it goes up. Of course after awhile you’ll realize not all startups make it big. Also I was using a student visa that time…

Public defenders usually have 90-120 clients at any given time. They give a shit, or they wouldn’t be working there. But it’s literally impossible for them to devote this kind of attention to each client. If that pisses you off, you should contact your representatives to allocate more funds and hire more public…

No, the Mets haven’t “historically sucked.” They got to the World Series in nearly every decade of their existence (the ‘90s are the lone exception, save the current one we’re only midway through), and have two World Series titles. Ask some other franchises if they’d trade places.

Two things:

Why would you blame gun laws? The guy was mentally ill. He, his mother and his counselor/Dr./Priest/Pastor should have the support and freedom to intervene and provide help. This is a heart issue, not an issue about guns.

i’m not offended, i just think it’s fucking basic.

No one is better than Berman. I mean that literally. If no one was there it would have been infinitely better than Berman doing the play-by-play.

Actually the wave is awesome.

The problem with the wave is th—WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—at it interrupts everything you are trying to focus on and makes it impossible to actuall-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-y follow the game. I mean, I have no pr-WOOOOOOOOOOoo-oblem with it during a commercial or something, and I will admit that my—WOOOOOOOoooo—kids love it, but do…

This seems like Deadspin being angry for the sake of being angry.

you should post those ones then

why do you guys continue to think deadspin staff slack convos are somehow more interesting/funny than anyone elses?

Good meme recycling.

The umpire calls a pitch that far outside, and Joey Votto is the story? There’s a reason he’s one of the best players in the game — he doesn’t swing at that bullshit.

I know he comes off as a doof most of the time, but he also seems like a genuine good guy. I’m rooting for him.

I get your point, definitely. Having money and a house makes everything a lot easier! I just think the point that the movie was trying to make was that you can have all of that and still be unhappy. He wasn't sitting around lamenting about material things, he was exclaiming loneliness even though he's surrounded by…

Look yo, like this movie or hate this movie, whatever. But can we please stop acting like having money makes you immune to boredom or loneliness or any other type of problems? It's not true, and it's harmful.
