On a flight from Seattle to Chicago, I told the lady next to me I was from NH, and she immediately started singing this song she'd had stuck in her head for a decade after one night of watching TV in Boston

What? No. You're crazy. You're talking crazy right now.

Obviously, if you leave your cart in a handicap spot, you're a bad person.

It is shocking to see how many people use "returning shopping carts" as a black-and-white test of morality - because of the inconvenience it causes other customers - without ever questioning if the convenience of customers is always the highest moral imperative involved in the situation.

It's the reason that people who believe they're incapable of racism are more likely to end up doing something racist- "I'm not even the slightest bit racist" is just an admission that your conscious mind is doing absolutely nothing to counter the ideas contained in your "gut" that it disagrees with.

I'm just saying- I've never met an Ella Minnow P. out there in the real world and that feels incorrect

Obviously, this is misguided, and obviously, white men take the #1 slot in the "Responsible for Upholding Oppression in the US" standings by an overwhelming margin, but- the group in the #2 slot seemingly absolving themselves is always going to feel weird. We're worse, but you're still bad.

Usually, American/Canadian narrators do nothing for me, but the couple who do most of Sanderson's books are a huge exception- love them.

Steven Pacey, though, is the guy who'll get me to listen to a book I have no interest in just to hear him read it

My mind immediately went to the headlights. And with the size increase, I think you're also getting an increase in the reverse-tinkerbell effect. People feel safer sitting almost 4 feet above the road and pay less attention to it, making themselves (and everyone else) less safe

I agree, BUT- Gugu Mbatha-Raw's performance in season 1 is legitimately amazing. Like if Crudup is enjoyable because he's embracing what the show is, Mbatha-Raw is the opposite side of the coin- ignoring what the show is, and fully delivering on what it could have been.

From an outside perspective, it seems like I only ever see that England-specific flag at hate rallies, soccer games, and hate rally/soccer games. (Meanwhile, the Scottish and Welsh flags seem to pop up in happier circumstances all the time.) (I've never seen anyone holding a Northern Irish flag.)

I feel like Porsche, taken as a whole, is too broad/common an interest to separate "guys like me" from "guys I don't like". Rest easy knowing that that guy probably doesn't fully appreciate the 959

When I started to really grasp the CTE thing, I decided that once Brady & Belichick retired, I'd stop following football completely. I still miss it sometimes, but the post-Belichick Pats have helped me out by ensuring all the info about them that reaches me secondhand produces absolutely zero FOMO.

As a Patriots fan, I'm cursed to never see a post like this without my first thought instantly being a bitter "so NOW people understand how air pressure works?!"

This is the person Roger Goodell made me, and I don't like it.
