The benefits of having a weird experimental mode every now and then WAY outweigh the negatives of not doing that ever. And they have to replace an existing mode otherwise nobody would play it. League had a similar issue with game modes when they had 10x the playerbase.

Hold up...I love that the first part of the “argument” (for lack of a better term...although disjointed rambling has a nice ring to it) is, oh it’s just a figure of speech (and why is the word idiom capitalized?); but lots of the (Black) players have been arrested, so painting all them with the same brush is apropos.…

Except he said it in reference to the black players who are protesting, so shut up and go learn the difference between “or” and “are.” It is every bit racial. Players being arrested on drug charges, domestic abuse etc don’t have anything to do with it for one, and clearly the NFL has no problem with THAT stuff because…

That was a very important distinction that you made there.

I'm of Italian descent. I had pit hair, pubes, and a light mustache by the time I was in 5th grade. It did not impress the girls as much as I thought it would. (to be clear I'm talking about the stache, not the pubes)

I don't know, imagining a loose acquaintance showing up to a work presentation and blasting a fight song on the clarinet is unsettling.

Dude, you've been lied to. A lot. It's not about confidence and power, not these school-aged crushes. Those are purely mutual attraction. It doesn't matter who you are at that age, if the crush isn't mutual, a grand gesture isn't just awkward, it's horrifying.

The moral of the story? Over-the-top gestures done to be "romantic" generally just make the girl feel put on the spot and weirded out.

For the record, you should never do stuff like this for someone you aren't currently dating. So: not for crushes, not for exes you're trying to win back, and not for people you've just started dating either.

Otherwise it just sorta screams "I'm creepily obsessed with you and have no sense of personal boundaries."

Being a man of persistence and determination, I refuse to see a romantic gesture as failed until I see a copy of the restraining order.

I cannot read this.
