A written statement to the police by a witness is inadmissible hearsay?

More the latter. :-/

That handwritten letter from his son detailing the abuse in sickening detail...that’s totally admissible here, right? Along with most everything else covered here on Deadspin leading up to the fight? Seems like this suit might actually have a shot, no?

What do you do if the other team is walking a lot and the score remains competitive?

Ultron has spent the whole movie being pretty really transparent about destroying all humans, and hasn’t really talked to the twins besides ordering them to steal valuable minerals from Africa (get in line, dickhead) and beat up the Avengers, but still becomes verrrrryyyyyyyy emotional when they turn on him after they…

Gotta love the (almost certainly apocryphal) Gandhi quote: “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

These novels all sound familiar...

It’s not behaviorally abnormal for a slave to want freedom, a woman to want agency and fulfillment in her life, or a a gay man to want to engage in sex with other men.

Absolutely. But to me, it’s society’s problem if it’s continuing to misuse scientific data, though the burden is certainly on science to shout down those who twist its findings. The APA’s diagnostic criteria are not supposed to be used to make broad pronouncements about the “correct” way for society to develop. That’s…

Not the ruling system, exactly. Life. That’s the way effective therapy should be.

yeah, i hate capital letters, too. they’re full of toxins and noxious chemicals. you know who capitalizes their names? fucking Monsanto, that’s who. big food fucking love capital letters.

I went to Subway the other day. Only had 10 minutes to eat before we had to go check out an apartment. The apartment sucked, but the Italian Herb and Cheese left in my teeth after I finished a hastily thrown together Bacon/Turkey/Ranch thing with shredded lettuce and/or newspaper tasted pretty great. I especially…

I work for a foreclosure firm. Sorry, but this is very bad advice.

I’ve had similar issues with a couple of Amazon Basics HDMI cables. The connection just started to crap out periodically, and swapping the cables was an immediate fix. Haven’t had any reason to try other Amazon Basics cables, but I know we’ve purchased other Basics items and been perfectly happy with them.

Have they done a smart house murder episode, yet? I’m picturing a smart house where a “Birdhouse” thermostat helpfully installed by a kindly older couple’s grandkids - paired, of course, with a Wifi-equipped set of door and window locks - is used to boil them alive by Grandpa’s ex-business partner’s 3rd wife’s jealous…

That's my general take as well. Only so much you can do, I guess.

What's the "Adequate Man"-approved way to confront someone who you think may be violating one of these rules? Because in confined spaces, sometimes it seems like confrontation would be a good idea. Often it's just some idiot who clearly put their bag on the seat next to them when the bus/T was empty and has zoned out,…

Oh God, your comment has me flashing back to when I was a kid. I have no memory of the car itself aside from the keys - round for doors, square for ignition - despite the fact that it was the only car I was permitted to drive at 16-17.
