Ironically, Atkins probably has a fuckload of carbs in his diet.

It’s great news that the cops kept their composure and didn’t commit any “shooting fouls”

Not recorded in the body cam footage were the words to his partner as he jumped back in the cruiser.

I feel you. I’m an artist and I do custom pieces, I shouldn’t be forced to create art I don’t want too. I don’t think it matters why I don’t want too. It’s a completely different thing than say refusing to sell a print of an existing piece.

First, they are also speedruners. Runners gotta run and if they can beat his time they have every reason to do so.

The mustache really hung in there tho.

The only reason I get panicky when I get *slightly* separated from the group is because of this bad guy right here! It feels like he’s always lurking the moment you’re just a smidge too far from the group and he just shows up to drag you away.

I don’t know about you, but I hold the President of the United States to an entirely different standard than that of a 17 yr old Olympic athlete. And I think that’s ok. It’s 100% ok, in fact, to expect the President to behave differently than others are expected/allowed to behave. That’s part of what makes it a…

“As Gen. Kelly pointed out, if you’re able to make a sacred act like honoring American heroes about yourself, you’re an empty barrel,”

The “funny” thing is climate change doesn’t give one single shit if you believe in it or not. It’s happening. Try not believing in gravity and jump off a building. Gravity and climate change gives zero fucks.

Fans of Robert Jordan experienced this reality. Sometimes a book series becomes so cumbersome the author can’t bring it all back together for a proper and good quality ending. Or they die. Or both. I bet Martin is bored with the series and doesn’t feel like doing it any more.

I think it’s worth keeping in mind that slippery slopes work in both directions, so usually they aren’t really an argument for or against anything. E.g., “Saying anyone should be able to buy guns is a slippery slope to letting criminals in prison have guns.” Slippery slope arguments are an indirect reminder of the…

I don’t understand why a statue has to be about glorifying. There are these two statues in China:

What does that make the High Sparrow, then?

Well your post is a semantics argument so... seems fair to me.
