Yeah I agree in principle. But what did he expect? He was at all the press conferences. He knows Connor can’t box, he knows they are trying to hype this fight as competitive instead of the crazy mismatch that it is. At a certain point you kind of have to use your head and expect some of the circus shenanigans.

Go watch the old 24/7's. They made Hatton look like he was ready to dust Manny. This type of thing happens to sell fights.

And yet, he still gives good sparring work. Go watch the video of him sparring Golovkin. He’s no champ anymore, but he can definitely help in sparring.

This story makes me sick. Seriously, what a truly fucked up thing. Imagine, as a man—which constitutes the bulk of readers here—the mind-blowingly scary scenario of being help at gunpoint and told that not only are they gonna steal all your money, they’re gonna rape you as well, all the while insinuating you won’t die…

Didn’t say it was special treatment, just different response. All whites are devilized in the media these days, in an effort to encourage, doubt, and self loathing / hate. I have never heard a black person say “I hate black people / black people are terrible” but I hear that kind of self hate from white people more…

They’ve always been shooting whites including unarmed white people obviously. The stats aren’t hard to find. But the media never reports on it because they like to race bait, just like you.

That’s not the narrative we’ve been fed over the past couple of years. It is ‘racist police targets only black people, check your white privilege’. The real numbers, as far as police brutality/fatalities are concerned, speaks a different language:

Whenever I find out somebody is really religious I always lose a little respect for them. I kind of feel the same way when I find out someone likes reality TV.

I think I explained what they were doing without advocating for it.

Agreed. But I suspect the argument will arise the statistical probability of harm caused by an autonomous vehicle is much lower than probability of being harmed by driver error.

Ever heard of an elevator operator?

I notice that the current gen of autopilot in use does not land planes- though no doubt the technology is there.

That seems premature.

Corporations Actually Fucking Hate You

Because I don’t make false arguments.

You left out ad hominem, asshole!

I’m not an absolutist, when a company engages in a “public good” (whether it’s gestural or systemic) I will patronize them and when they engage in behavior that is detrimental to society I will not patronize them. A $1 million donation to the ACLU is still a $1 million donation to the ACLU whether the intent was…

There is neither Lyft nor Uber where I live, so I get to feel pure regardless. Bring on the purity test!

The difference is that in this case you have a legitimate option to choose neither. You’re not stuck with one or the other. You don’t have the choose the lesser of two evils. You can just choose no evil.

Internet petitions are worth the paper they are printed on.
