I’m pulling for a Grand Slam from Djokovic, but even with a French win, it’s hardly a lock.

Welcome! You must be new here. This is called irony. Also dark humor. In this case, quite dark. But still humorous, and also copacetic because the joke is at the expense of the sicko dillweed murderer.

it’s right there in the headline, they lost, actually.

Yeah, I hate that expression, too. Really, I hate any time people communicate in memes or cliches. It’s the equivalent of saying, “I’m not clever, but I want to seem clever, so here’s something other people have said that once was considered clever.”

I maintain that twitter really isn’t important unless you’re very famous (celebrity) or very powerful (politician, company, etc.). The rest of us are just wading around down in the muck.

I make heavy use of the “hide all from ___” and “unfollow” options (the former from various obnoxious FB sources when I still want to see “normal” posts from said person, the latter when I don’t want to unfriend said person - say, a cousin - but I’m tired of listening to their political rants).

Our brains are not physically wired to handle something like Twitter. It’s like we read something and it goes to that lizard level where it’s indistinguishable from a guy standing right next to you saying the same thing. So people go down that rabbit hole and, of course, there’s no resolution because they’re not next…

Was not expecting your last sentence, there. Whole last paragraph, really.

It’s not all that different from what some people in the south sound like. I was managing a video game store when an old timer came in and spouted a string of absolute gibberish and before I could ask him to repeat himself one of my employees went off to grab the game he wanted replying “this one” to which the…

This is all too much. Just another reason for me to never captain an NFL team.

Yeah, I had no basis other than my gut to suggest an NFL coin bounces. Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn’t.

In the post-game press conference, Rodgers revealed something really interesting about the coin toss: He seems to intentionally select the face opposite to the one the ref is showing right before the toss. Rodgers then invited potential controversy by stating that he called Tails because the ref was showing Heads,…

Michigan lost. The rest is just details.

I'm pretty certain that 48 year old Deion today would scold 25 year old Deion from back in the day and offer up the same critique. It's called maturity, and the fact that he's developed some shouldn't be held against him. If we were to do that, everything a mature adult says would be classified as hypocrisy, because…

My dad was in the military, so I grew up around military people. One thing I learned is that the more someone in the service brags, the less impressive their actual career is.

But those assistants organize and schedule the carpet races!

A lot of those people apologizing for Peterson in the SI comment section are familiar names to me as a Vikings fan. They tend to hang out on a Vikings fanboi site known as The DailyNorseman. The place is a real freak show of fundamentalist Christian bottom dwellers. When they aren’t praising Peterson for…

Your second reply gets a bit closer to where I'm coming from than your first part. However I do not believe I am doing it in an attempt to reclaim power - my goal, what I view as important, is also not to perpetuate a sort of victim culture, which we cannot escape due to certain, perhaps flawed perceptions.

Mmk, I understand how you feel, but I also can't help but wonder ... if you read the post before commenting? Because my entire point is that we shouldn't listen to their stories to feel sorry for them; we should listen so we can understand rape culture.

Welp. That's one way of looking at it.
