Wait, what three movies? Signs? You’ve got to be kidding me.

Imagine if, by mutual agreement, every little league, office softball team, rec league, and JV/varsity college baseball team were organized into a coherent system with Major League Baseball and the minor leagues, with all the men’s teams in a one hierarchy (or “pyramid”). That’s basically how soccer works in most…

Being humorless and arbitrary in your use of power is to people who like strongman dictators what “being presidential” is to the rest of us. That’s why when Trump does what everyone here considers gaffes his supporters eat it up. 

Who is this for? If you loved the reboot, this isn’t going to bring any of those people back. If you hated the reboot, it’s being made by different people, but still with no understanding of what made original tick (i.e. the Aykroyd/Ramis script).

If the Warriors trade Steph Curry, does he ever become Steph Curry? The whole thing with their breakout season is that they managed to catch lightning in a bottle and keep it there.

It’s as clear as black and white.

FYI: A “kapo” was a concentration camp prisoner given special privileges in exchange for helping the administrators run the camp and brutalize the inmates.

People can complain about genetic engineering but plant genetics were already more fucked up than any amount of human interference could cause long before we got here.

The whole functioning of governance and power in DC is predicated on the Federal government being able to tell the city what to do. It could change but we’d also need massive constitutional reform - which DC statehood would require anyway. I figure the best compromise would be Congressional representation without…

Fun fact: the Army has plans on file for symmetrical designs for just about every possible number of states, up to about 60 or something. (51 isn’t even prime, so it’s easy: you just have three double rows 7/6 stars each. You wouldn’t even notice.)

Fuck this guy, Jesus. How hard is it really to just not say shit that demeans the real life struggles and travails of sexual assault victims?

That, my friend, is why God invented the hip flask.

Seriously. Netflix by Mail has shit that even illegal streams and torrents don’t.

The overlap between “people who play basketball in these shoes” and “people who pay for these shoes” is basically 0. You wear ‘em because Nike is paying you to wear ‘em, or you buy ‘em because you’re a sneakerhead and they’re the latest gotta-have thing, in which case you also fucking take care of them because sports…

Seeing movies alone is like eating alone, IMO. Once you get over the fear that comes with doing things differently from society’s expectation, actually pretty great. That said: the downside of seeing a movie alone is not having someone to discuss it with afterwards. Would totally date someone who was like, “Let’s sit…

A good hotdog is grilled over fire on a summer day. Everything else is crap.

Because it was the first time all the best American players were on a team at once, and it kind of mattered. Plus they wanted to get revenge for an embarrassing result in ‘88.

Someone decided -ough didn’t have enough different pronunciations in English.

I doubt that the ROI on building a quality roster is anywhere near profitable.

The problem is this: With a strong revenue sharing model, teams are more balanced relative to each other but have little incentive to spend money to earn marginal wins. Without a strong revenue sharing model, teams have more incentive to spend more to do well, BUT teams in smaller markets* have less money and are less…
