I disagree that Bran's story gets more interesting.

I'm happy with the Eagles' picks, but I'm more or less always happy with their picks and sometimes that works out and sometimes it doesn't. I feel like we added a lot of talent at important positions. Saints? I think it's more or less fair. Maybe a little harsh, but not something I'm going to get up...

Law sounds unconstitutional in almost all circumstances. Obscenity, as a technical legal term, is a very narrow category. Most profanity doesn't qualify. First Amendment protects your right to be a profane asshole unless you cross into "obscenity" or unless you are legitimately creating so...

Ash is right; the video doesn't prove that anybody "assaulted" anybody. Come the fuck on. If I'm remembering right, he wasn't even CHARGED with assault, he was charged with harassment. Jice, Funk, Aab-- do any of you even know what the elements of harassment are? I mean, I don't, I haven't...

It... hasn't... been... used... as... a... defense. He... was... not... convicted... because... there... was... not... enough... evidence... to... prove... the... charges. Seriously, the fact that somebody wasn't convicted of a minor harassment charge because of insufficient evidence is the FARTHEST...

Cane, the magistrate is bound by the relevant law, constitutional and otherwise. Magistrate judges in Pennsylvania have a limited set of powers to deal with certain minor offenses and pre-trial matters and are subordinate to the full judges who sit on the Court of Common Pleas, Pennsylvania's trial ...

Sueven

Ah it's a magistrate. You are correct; no law degree required. They're usually lawyers or ex-cops.

So, as sensationalist as this sounds, there's really not enough information to say if this is a horrible miscarriage of justice or not. It might be -- don't get me wrong -- but there's no guarantee. The key is that the article doesn't say WHY the judge threw the video out. Maybe he did it because he...

Look into the details of your student loans. It is likely that putting money into them is the smartest financial choice you can make. Many student loans have fairly high interest rates-- 6-8% or so. Paying them off, then, is basically like earning a guaranteed 6-8% return on an investment. That's a ...

I won't claim to be an expert in this area of the law, but it's an interesting issue conceptually. On the face of things, I'd think that the government has the right of it. You can't say "I kept that stolen money in a locked box, so you can't prove shit, pigs!" Doesn't work that way. This ...

I mean Brady's achievements are enough to get him in the best-ever conversation, no doubt. He's got 5 Super Bowl appearances (ties the record) and might have 4 wins two weeks from now (would also tie the record). Of course, Terry Bradshaw also has 4 Super Bowl wins, and nobody thinks he's the best e...

Yah, we get mini-etiquette lessons anytime someone has to travel to an Asian office. Business card etiquette is a big part.

Sueven

Not lying. And you shouldn't leave, you should just chill the fuck out. The world is more complicated than you're willing to admit.

Anyway, I'm really hoping we don't wind up with Giants/Pats in the Super Bowl, or I'm going to be forced to root for the fucking Giants AGAIN.

Sueven

I really don't understand all the strong Tebow emotions. I think he's fun. Is it so difficult to just sit back and watch and enjoy watching the story play out however it plays out? Unless you're a Denver fan and are forced to have a position. I just think it's ridiculous to view Tebow as a battlefie...

Sueven

I assume they will make you an initial offer. After they do, you should say something that indicates that you love the company and want to be there, but you feel like you deserve a few thousand more for a few good, well-supported reasons. Don't ask for so much more that they'll think you're ridiculo...

iDouche is most likely to have a personal name card. The type of hipster with such a card is the type to say "oh, my primary interest is design."

Sueven

I know a few people who do this. They're usually (a) self-important hipster assholes or (b) retired folks. EDIT: I should clarify that I refer to the upscale urban types of hipsters (ie, the "I'm an economist with an eclectic fashion style and I run a music review blog on the side" type) r...

I feel like, usually, the biggest leverage questions in a salary negotiation are: How much does your employer need you, and how many other options do you have? Without knowing all that much about your situation, and without having the first fucking clue about what you do (what the hell is a circuit ...

Retrospect: The SEC added Texas A&M (OK) and Missouri (huh?) The Big 12 replaced them with TCU and West Virginia The ACC added Syracuse and Pittsburgh The Big East clusterfucked around. The Big 12 actually made out pretty well, if TCU can keep up its performance. Tough thing to do as a small sch...

FITZGERALD: Pretty sure Jice is just criticizing him to bait Winnow (and me). You're not impressed by his numbers because he plays in an offense where he's the only target? You're aware he put up identical numbers when playing with Kurt Warner, Anquan Boldin, and Edge James? And you're impressed by ...

It sure as hell helps! Come on now. Anybody can drop out and be a wandering vagabond, but in general it takes some serious material resources to travel extensively. Even most outdoorsy activities. It's possible to backpack (the camping/hiking kind of backpacking) cheaply, but it takes some serious p...

Lions still have seeding to play for. If they win, they get to play the shitty NFC East winner. If they lose, they probably have to play the Saints. I imagine they'll put in some effort.

Sueven

Sure GB spreads the ball around more. That makes it harder to put up stats in some ways (more competition for touches) and easier in some ways (less attention from the defense). Of course, Fitz put up monster stats when he was teamed with Warner/Boldin/James, and he puts up monster stats when he's p...

Fitzgerald is 6th in the NFL in receiving yards this year. The quarterbacks throwing to the five guys ahead of him: Tom Brady (106) (#2 offense) Cam Newton (81.1) (#5 offense) Eli Manning (95.5) (#7 offense) Matt Stafford (92.6) (#10 offense) Drew Brees (105.9) (#1 offense) The quarterbacks throwing...

The argument against the legality of this action (or, at least, the argument that this is different than a similar attack against a non-US citizen) is built on technicalities. Technically, he's a U.S. citizen, despite the fact that he doesn't live in the US, will never come back to the US, and has f...

Sucks to be excited about death, but I'd be pretty happy if they really got him this time.

Nice try, Pyrella.

My favorite Spangism on this thread is when he's listing famous vegans, and he includes: the director of public affairs for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine Wait, so a third-level manager at a mid-tier nonprofit that advocates veganism is a vegan!? Check out the PCRM's "four fo...

Come on, the Patriots are pretty hateable. Got caught cheating, jackass coach, arrogant players, obnoxious fans. Isn't that enough?

Schools as public forums are open to religious and nonreligious groups on equal terms. Perhaps that's what you are referencing. This doesn't look like a public forum issue, it looks like a school-sponsored event. It's blatantly unconstitutional based on the whole of American jurisprudence. This is n...

Wait, does this mean that Broncos fans are already sick of Tim Tebow?

All the changes make me sad. I liked the conferences back before Miami and VTech and BC decamped for the ACC; I wish we could stay like that. Too late, though. My next wish would be for everybody to figure it out now and be done with it, so we could have solid conference affiliations going forward, ...

Let's stop talking about Hitler. I'm still trying to figure out why a consumptive tax isn't the best way to go - it seems like it put everyone on equal footing. If you're thrifty with your money, you pay less taxes, if you buy more crap, you pay more. Because it's massively regressive. Poor people u...

I was at the game yesterday. I know a bit about soccer but not a ton, so my observations are pretty amateur. Things I noticed were: Holy christ the US was terrible for the first 20 minutes. We were still getting outclassed for the rest of the first half and at points during the second, but the first...

I think Avestan is right about most of this. College CAN be far from a waste of time. It can be incredibly valuable. If you want it to be valuable, I think there are three things you have to do. One, you need to go to a good school. I'm not talking Harvard only-- most big state schools should be fin...

I'm 27 years old. Aside: That means I started playing EQ with some of you when I was, like, 15. Maybe a little more than 5 years ago, when I was in college, I started thinking about exercise.

Asomugha to the Eagles! I'm excited but have no idea what the hell we plan to do with three high-level cornerbacks. I guess DRC just became the NFL's best nickel corner? With the two new corners plus the addition of Jason Babin, the Eagles have a chance to be much-improved this year. Cole + Babin is...

Being an Eagles fan, I've actually WATCHED most of Kolb's games. He's not bad. To say that he's worth "at most" a 6th or 7th round pick is ridiculous. Nobody knows entirely what he is at this point, but he is definitely capable of being a starting QB without being a disaster. That in itsel...

Interesting points regarding physical media.

Nevertheless, Netflix is still cheap as fuck, even after the price hike.

Probably due to the fact that they lack the modern technology and infrastructure that enables our absurdly long lifespans, among other cultural/lifestyle reasons.

I'm still not thrilled with the wild horsefolk storyline. The blonde lady's character development has been too rapid, obvious, and cliche. It's not really the actress's fault-- she's stuck with lines like "I am a kalisi of the dothraki" while staring straight ahead (all spellings my fault)...
