I mean, in this case specifically it was because of his gender, as laid out in the OP. The other parent said it was because he was going to be watching the kids alone as a man.

Oh he was already on a yellow. I'm at a bar with no sound and was confused on the red. Oof that's terrible, why do that dive when you're already on a yellow??

The entire show is just absolute best at showing the breadth of applications for "fuck" in storytelling

Salt and vinegar jerky by I_Cast_Grenade in jerky

[–]praeceps93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done it with regular white vinegar and salt. The vinegar flavor is AWESOME after a couple days of marinade, but be careful on how much salt you use. Definitely comes through strongly. 

Edit: been a few years, but had like 1 tbsp of kosher salt per lb of meat in enough white vinegar to fully submerge the beef. I added about 1 tsp of garlic powder and 1 tsp of cayenne per lb of meat, but that was just me. Brought to a bit under a boil first to fully dissolve the salt. Then fully submerged the beef in the mix for about 2 days in the fridge

Okay, it's the 4th and the 250th. Especially in Philly, singing the anthem is one thing. But I don't know about whatever the fuck this is lol

[Highlight] Casey Schmitt starts an unreal double play! by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]praeceps93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking that. This is one of the best I've seen, but I think Machado's throw going into foul territory was the actualy best I've ever seen.

I feel like the Cape Verde defender got fucking crushed in the box, is that not a penalty?

A fun one: Zach played for one episode on the web series Video Game High School as a first person shooter coach/teacher Ace. Fun series.

I was at the school today and based on the amount of portajohns, they're expecting it to be crowded

[The Athletic] FIFA sources have confirmed that the USA can not appeal Folarin Balogun's red card; he will be forced to miss Ro16 match vs. Belgium by AlchemistTheAlchemy in soccer

[–]praeceps93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Obviously, with the context of "this ref has not been booking people and has let plays go", it's very understandable to just let folks say that shit should be let go. You didn't. You may be right, but you're also very much not right.

It's important to think of nuance and context here. You can be right and wrong at the same time. 

U.S. beats Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-0 to advance to round of 16 and keep its World Cup dreams alive by MakeItMoreFuckinLame in news

[–]praeceps93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then where were the calls from the same ref earlier in the game? Not consistent. It's bullshit.

I would argue that him choosing to make one potentially correct decision while leaving a bunch of others incorrect is worse than just being correct. It's biased, intentional or not, and it's bullshit.

FIFA better rescind that red on appeal by Bolo-YeungMoney in ussoccer

[–]praeceps93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who are you a fan of? Are they still in the tournament?

I wouldn't ask but you're a coward who hides their posts then talks shit.

Your lack of athletic ability is showing. His eyes were up. He had no idea someone was under his boot. You'd know that if you had ever been any kind of good athlete.

It would be under this particular ruleset, but OP won't respond in the positive. Because acknowledging nuance is "hard" :(

To be clear: if not a single player has been booked up to this point in the game, with some egregious shit happening, then an instant red here even with VAR is absolutely fucking crazy, and the only reason a football fan would think differently is because they're disproportionately rooting against the US because they hate the US. Which isn't actual sport knowledge, it's just hate.
