It’s probably figure skating, as that sport has constant fights between whether it’s a sport (measuring athletic prowess) or dance competition (measuring artistry). The current fight seems to be about how scoring rewards jumps using long windups, leading all the competitors to circle the rink interminably.

So he was hired for a non-tenure-track role and is surprised that he hasn’t gotten tenure?

I was expecting physical, occupational, and psycho-.

If I’m passing, I’m doing it in the passing lane and will choose the speed at which I feel safe to do it. Occasionally, that can be technically slower than the car I’m passing because the road is turning left just that tightly.

That’s my wife. I had to drag her down to the car and threaten to take her keys away when I got in my car and found the high beams set to on after she’d been driving at night one too many times. She claimed to have no idea what I was talking about. She also doesn’t signal or check her mirror when pulling out and then…

While my background (public health bio-statistician) and current job (insurance analyst) are kind of built around thinking of physicians as morons (they’re the surgeons of diagnosis, or to me as nurses are to them), I think the main issue is that they’re still technically in a customer service position and Karen wants…

Telling someone they really need to look into the trust issues they have that are causing all this suspicion and jealousy before you think you can trust them again is gaslighting

And then there’s the question of what the difference between what’s presented as gaslighting here and just telling someone he’s wrong. “I never said that” is completely legitimate if you never actually said “that.” The lack of a distinction here has lead to a common problem I’ve noticed where “gaslighting” is any case…

Market Basket?

Cars are also lasting longer, so they’re more likely to outlast the loan.

I think a large part of it is that everything described is very typical of hypocondria, psychosomatic disorders, and pseudoscientific diagnoses, in particular being the same list as chronic lyme disease. They’re also common experiences of anyone coming off of a severe illness, both because of how much disease and…

Stop dating your ex, for one.

I wonder if disclosing a disability that can lead to an ignorance of niceties would help get feedback (basically showing that I’m aware of my weakness and so able to take criticism) or hurt it (suddenly the ADA is a factor).

According to Cody Decker, Florida fans were so pissed at the idea of a Jew playing baseball that his team had to get him a separate bus, sweep it for bombs multiple times, and then drive it off without him and take him in an unmarked sedan to ensure his safety.

I think there may be some idea that a strict no-chase policy turns high-speed getaways into a get-out-of-jail-free card. That’s been a bit of a problem in the Boston area, where dickheads are treating roads, sidewalks, parks, and even the fucking zoo as their personal ATV rally courses and the cops just ignore it (I…

There are also most, if not all, traditional male hobbies, with the most famous in this respect being fishing. Honestly, the big difference between “toxic masculine emotional repression” and “mindfulness” is that the former is taught by fathers to sons for free and the latter is taught by “gurus” and “influencers” in…

Also, the laww apperantly has a very low ammo cap they weren’t following.

More than Rep. Cynthia McKinney claiming the Jews caused 9/11?

And, you know, the ethnicity that was actually persecuted under the swastika.

Talk shows have qualifications?
