Hey Barry...if this happened to you and/or another Deadspin staffer, would you, or could you, out them publicly as the source?

Dismissed an argument over whether it is ever justifiable for a cop to use deadly force.

I posted this last time but it still seems relevant. Just because body cameras haven’t been used to crack down on bad behavior in the past doesn’t mean they won’t play that role with more widespread adoption.

If he’s not self-medicating with drugs and alcohol to deal with recurring physical pain or the intense emotional pressures of The Game, is he intense enough for the NFL? Sounds to me like he might not be playing hard enough.

I wonder if it’s social pressure playing a more significant role as the child ages. It’d be a little embarrassing to be observed working your ass off for a lousy veggie sticker that you didn’t even want to begin with.

This statement makes me want to punch an Olympic mascot in the nuts.

No, I’m describing reality to you. Has nothing to do with opinion and vague feelings, but you gotta love science fetishists who have no qualms making up things just to have an argument.

Except that justifications for labeling need not be scientifically grounded and to suggest so is an abuse of science and political illiteracy.

Banning the labels gives them some ammo....I basically just think NOT banning the labels would give them comparatively more ammo by drawing people in who would’ve basically ignored the made-up controversy completely.

I’ve never noticed “contains gluten” on a package before. Is that already a thing? I see it at restaurants a lot and wouldn’t be shocked to see it at Whole Foods or whatever.

The thing of it is, I think increased labeling would have the unintended effect of bringing people into the conversation who weren’t paying attention. And when a label suddenly appears stating something akin to, “Product contains GMOS,” their first response will be, “Oh shit. The fuck is a GMO!?”

This puts a blanket of secrecy over things and denies consumers the right to know much of anything. It’s already bad, and the unintended consequences will likely be worse.

A dinobased skin disease, the beginning stages of which resemble GoT’s Greyscale, escapes the park via a single traumatized little boy and rapidly transforms the infected into chimeric dino-Zombie hybrids.

Brooklyn Brewery taught me that beer tokens are a great way to score free drinks and (mostly) lose the ability to cut myself off when I’ve definitely had enough.

Was thinking about this the other day...odds are, Trump doesn’t win the Republican nomination and the lot of them coalesce around one of the less-clearly-insane candidates.

Agreed. I don’t necessarily blame the parents (or anyone) for this because God knows kids can do stupid stuff if you turn your back for even just a minute. Freak accidents happen.

If I remember correctly...didn’t these dressers all ship with instructions to use a wall mount in the first place? I might be confusing my Malm dresser with some other, similarly tippy piece of cheap furniture.

I used to be right there with you...but today’s phones are big. I can’t often whip out my current device and flip it to landscape one-handed anymore; it generally requires, at some point in the process, a second hand.

Hypothetical: If a health insurer found a way to reliably track customer diets and/or exercise in a relatively unobtrusive manner, then compensate those who work towards or maintain a healthy lifestyle...would you sign up?
