I didn’t know it was connected to the term “gypsy” until reading this article. I wouldn’t even have known (without a google search) that it was spelled “gyp”, as I believe I’ve only ever heard it uttered verbally.  Also, in the US, I’m not sure most people realized there was a specific racial group the term “gypsy”…

Just a matter of time...

Sounds like a weak case, and they’re hoping these wealthy celebrities will pay something to settle. This is like suing some celebrity for being in a commercial for a particular brand of coffee because they don’t actually drink coffee. I can’t wait to hear how he’s supposed to prove how, but for these particular celebri…

Would it have been obvious to Lavigne that it was a protester and not a streaker?  If she was trying to focus on the crowd and not on the protester, would she have known anything other than that a topless woman was traipsing around the stage?  She certainly didn’t seem to say one word that would reveal it was a…

How to say you’re a comic book nerd without saying you’re a comic book nerd: seeing Ziwe’s dress and thinking “Oh! Cool! She’s a Green Lantern!”

It may also be that she was completely unaware of the Styles/Pines spit thing... I mean it’s pretty obscure. And if she didn’t recognize the story, I could understand feeling awkward trying to think of a funny response and falling back on I only talk about peace. Everyone (for the most part) has a sense of humor, but…

Ah it’s a union issue, where the NFLPA has exclusive right to negotiate on behalf of players and licenses agents and gets paid for the licensing.  Fair enough.

Ohhh ok.  Thanks.

In that case, presumably, the lawyers could field inquiries from other teams just as an agent might.

If it works anything like legal representatives in court, that rule could not apply to contract offers/negotiations with an unrepresented player just as an attorney with an opposing unrepresented party in court can’t be prohibited from contacting the unrepresented party. It’s an ethical violation if the attorney does s…

That’s a really weird system... It might be that other teams would be willing to match Deshawn’s contract for Lamar, but they would not be willing to exceed it, which is what paying him Deshawn’s contract plus giving the Ravens 2 of their own first round picks would be. Instead, if they wait a year to make the offer,…

He financed about $21B of the purchase price by using a huge chunk of his Tesla stock as collateral. He’s been using his Tesla stock as collateral for numerous businesses. Those businesses don’t have to be profitable if Tesla’s stock price grows or at least stays constant. $170B of his net worth is in the form of…

To me he is best known as the kid from The Princess Bride. No one will be watching anything else he’s been in ten years from now, but they’ll always be watching The Princess Bride and his iconic exchanges with his character’s grandpa, Peter Falk.

But... the vagina is not at the front of a woman’s pelvis... 

“It was just a gross misunderstanding of the law from the practitioners handling the case, unfortunately.” Except that’s not a decision that health care providers are making on their own for the most part - especially not at institutional medical service providers. They have legal counsel (if not full legal teams)…

Naomi Osaka is also depicted as a blond haired white girl. This is Naomi Osaka:

Also, deporting black people was not inconsistent with abolition. As I said originally, he was not a proponent of equal rights for black people, and he was not a civil rights icon. With time, he probably could have become a proponent of equal rights as well (he was clearly against equal rights during the Lincoln…

You’re taking that quote out of context. The full quote is more clear. Moreover, the historical context is also omitted. These words are excerpted from a single sentence in a letter that was published by Lincoln in response to a letter published by Horace Greeley, editor of the very popular (at the time) New York…

Abe Lincoln never owned slaves. He was born to a poor family in Kentucky and lived between Kentucky and Indiana at that time, when his family was too poor to own slaves and he worked as a farmer and gave all his earnings to his father for the family. He moved to Illinois (a free State) at age 21 with his family, where…
