You just keep making a bunch of unrelated points and quoting rules at me instead of understanding what the actual argument is here, and it’s a shame. If you honestly feel that the umpire’s ruling and behavior here was correct, that’s just not something worth engaging with you about, so I won’t. It has nothing to do…

First of all, you still don’t have a firm grasp on the argument, because A and B are independent of each other. You can think that Serena is petulant and confrontational (and I will concede that she lets her temper run hotter than many of her female counterparts, but it barely reaches the same ZIP code of antics that…

“However you feel about the reality of A, surely we can all agree about the reality of B” is not a fucking difficult sentence or idea to comprehend. Oh, unless you’ve already made your mind up about several things including the author of the sentence and the way you feel about the subject in question. Then it gets…

I struggle with this too, but as, uh, “Daaaaamn Gina” pointed out, it’s a day in court instead of in prison. Not only that, but if you’ve been sentenced to spend the rest of your life in prison, and you’re still of an age where that could be somewhere around 30 years, I think you throw out all sense of logic and…

“Maybe you can’t hit anyone in the head” is the most accurate description of the NFL’s current ruleset that I’ve ever heard. 

I hope I get to cut your ass off on the Expressway this fall, laughing while I do. You are everything that’s wrong with Boston, and the reason I hate having to admit I was born and raised here.

Imagine a world in which you actually read the fucking article. Just imagine it. Wouldn’t that be something.

It’s only gatekeeping if it’s “you’re not allowed to use these words because you haven’t earned them.” This is “you look like a fake, like a fraud, like a poorly rendered simulacrum inspired not by the original item, but by your own yearning to appear as valuable and meaningful as the original item.” All of the…

Billy is generally the worst, yes. But also the logo, the name, and the concept from which it was birthed like a disfigured demon made in the blurry image of a far scarier beast but lacking bone structure and teeth, suck. 

Although your “human element” point is valid, on the pit lane speeding rules being “interesting” from a storyline perspective, I think most weeks it’s just a way for drivers to hose themselves unnecessarily. I think the ideal NASCAR race would have at least 3/4 of the field on the lead lap, battling for positions,…

I’m a soccer fan and I think the “soccer players are all divers” trope is weak bullshit from people who don’t have the patience for the game, but “cross country acting” is an incredible description.

Yeah man, you’re so right about this. Also, you know what’s bullshit? When the characters on the TV screen are about to get attacked by something, and I warn them, THEY DON’T EVEN FUCKING LISTEN. There’s something fishy going on there...

It’s “than,” not “then,” you fucking mouthbreather. Fuck off and die.

“My ex was pretty bad in bed, and he was a shitty tipper.” - Talking smack, if you’re a normal person.

The “jackpot” thing is not really that strange, and it’s all over “No Country for Old Men.” In fact, google the term and the movie and a lot of people talk specifically about the “jackpot” one of the characters gets himself into. There isn’t a lot of obviously available information about why it also means “trouble,”…

Right, but when an umpire calls a pitch incorrectly, there’s no danger of a bunch of people walking out in front of a car going 200mph.

I think the idea that having umpires make the call and automatically eject managers is somehow the platonic ideal here is, well, you do a good job, Chris, so I’ll just say I disagree. There is no WAY you’re de-escalating a situation if you just ignore managers and calmly toss them. It makes it worse, and it makes for…

I think your reductive, lazy judgment of someone based on 30 seconds of shitty attitude seven years ago in the heat of competition is really, really worthless.

This is a particularly amazing comment because it makes you an asshole whether you were being sarcastic or sincere.
