Wow, Dave Gettelman is really creating a winning culture for the Gmen. Thank goodness they were able to get rid of Odell Beckham 

The insanity is that the Yankees offered a better package just by offering Frazier. But the Pirates apparently wanted quantity over quality, and would have preferred the Yankees’ 8-12 prospects over any of their players with star potential

Your writing ability is excellent, but your knowledge of business and law are lacking.

“ even when millions of its citizens blatantly disrespected them for no other reason than that the hue of their skin made them antithetical to the virtues of their America. So much so that Obama’s successor is the most unqualified president in U.S. history; a man who is small by every measure who won, largely, because…

See, here’s the thing.... you acknowledge that most people aren’t joining the military to go to war with people they don’t know, but then say that they should just go volunteer and do community work instead. Like you said, the majority of the people joining are doing so because they lack the skills/discipline to hold…

This is a sincere question: is your personality as a writer a character, do you happily ignore reality, or are you really as huge of a hypocrite as you seem to be, or is it some combination of those?

God dammit, I was a victim of clickbait.

Oh please. Everyone should be high wage? Baristas should be making 100k?

Isn’t Starbucks one of the best case scenarios for lower wage workers? It was my understanding that they have been offering benefits and stuff for years before anyone gave that to service industry workers.

Fuck yourself.

You’re from Boston. No one has any use for you either.

No, I mean literally. Props to Bauer are what got him in this mess.

You know what? Give me a fucking break. What I said had nothing to do with race except in your mind. She herself said she had a tense exchange with the flight attendant and that she wouldn’t put her bag under the seat. Passengers must follow instructions from the flight crew.

And since when it that automatically a penalty? Getting in someone’s face after a physical hit (where you were clearly giving up by running out of bounds) is not the same thing at taunting. If it was there would be 20 taunting calls a game. He was clearly upset at what he thought was a late hit. He didn’t throw…

Totally impartial observer of this game... Beckham needs to obviously find a way to cool it for the good of his team (and for that matter, it would likely also result in his personal performances improving, not being distracted and all). But I thought he had a legitimate gripe and thought the taunting penalty was…

No, they didn’t rule the play safe. They ruled the play legal.

If you need my email. (I’m aware I’m a random stranger) just ask. My mom died two years ago in March so if you need advice of any sort it’s here if you want it. Big hugs.

But it literally happened. She could have shaken his hand, she could have just touched a shoulder, but she embraced him. Trying to read into the quality of the embrace or what expressions on her face indicate whatever feelings she had is, to me, pointless.

I think Nate’s raging against other stats-based pundits who keep twisting themselves (and the data) in knots to say Hillary is far ahead. For example, the Princeton Election Consortium has Clinton’s win probability between 79%-87% (http://election.princeton.edu/), while 270towin has Clinton’s win probability as high…

Nate’s whole thing is that emotionally over-invested partisans (non-sociopaths) continually read too much into every little event, aided by narrative-driven media members.
