In discussion over minor NCAA rules violations, user helpfully compares Ohio State's infractions to murder, accuses OSU football fans of acting like "Jesus in Rome." Delicious Haterade abounds.

Damn.

I never knew UCF was such a big school.

To be fair, making pornos out of a children's nutrition delivery system is all kinds of fucked up. There's no way around that.

In other words, quit looking at titties.

I'm sorry, could you cram another meme into that response? Perhaps something about walking the dinosaur, or the ironically cool now because it was so hated in the past Chuck Testa.

In any case, I never said that mods are horrible or that they deserve neither praise nor sympathy. However, they haven't earned any rights to freedom from criticism just because the post is an unpaid one or because they waste a lot of time carrying out the oh-so-hard work of being a mod. Yet people like redtaboo keep using that argument as if it had some actual merit.

They do it for free and owe you nothing.

There it is again. Oh the poor unpaid mods, won't someone feel sorry for them and spare their feelings.

They do what they do for free and owe me nothing. I do what I do for free and I owe them nothing.

redtaboo says it best.

Yeah, because there's nothing better than a "the poor mods work so hard" pity-party.

BrowsOfSteel · 1 day

Wow. There's a lot of pity-fellatio going on in that apology submission's comments.

This is a service offered to you for free.

Which, of course, makes it immune from criticism.

If you don't like it, you don't have to look at it.

You can do the same with the freely given complaints.

But this amount of dissatisfaction from the userbase is just overwhelming to be honest.

When you feature shit, expect a shitstorm.

Indeed. And for a column, it's pretty poorly written.

Bad_Misinfo_agent · 1 day

Really? Because this column was really pretty poorly written. It's pretty clear the author has no real knowledge of the doping/anti-doping arena, especially in the area of therapeutic use exemptions for banned substances. He didn't address the potential for TUEs for marijuana usage, he didn't address the difference between Diaz's second offense and Overeem's first offense and how that would affect the lengths of the suspensions. It was just sloppily written and shallowly researched.

I was getting ready to pack up my computer for the big move and figured I'd check FCJ before I shut everything down.

This was apparently the right decision.

Yes, people with poor vocabulary skills use it to mistakenly refer to the members of the other branches of the military as well.

Wow. Such a great, deep analysis.

I like how it completely touched on the similar commute times by both modes of transportation for short trips (< 3 miles) in most cases, and for longer trips (< 10 miles, 65% of all trips taken in the US) in conditions like rush hour or the business cores of major cities (where bicycles usually outperform other modes of transportation). I also like how, even when cars do outperform bicycles you compared the cost of operation differences to the opportunity cost to actually show that cars are so clearly superior.

Yep. You're a real economics wizard.

The NTHS data is there for you to pull from yourself. But one relevant statistic for you is that trips 10 miles or less (easily bikable -and some walkable-) make up ~65% of all trips and ~30% of all miles traveled, yet ~85% of these short trips are made by car.

These are the trips that could be shifted to biking and walking with a greater investment in infrastructure. Since automobile traffic is heavily subsidized in this country there would be a huge net savings realized from such a move.

No, the content of the paper (which you haven't addressed) is what makes it legit. But the ironic picture is a bonus.

Oh, please do share with the dumbfucks your no doubt stunning analysis of the opportunity costs associated with cycling rather than driving. I'll bet it's quite entertaining.

All transportation is funded by the federal gasoline tax. If you don't buy gas, you do not pay into the gas tax. Shut the fuck up about taking your fair share.

Such strong words for one so woefully uninformed…

They don't pay 12% of road costs, or anywhere remotely close to that. Paved surfaces have a cost, and the vast majority of it is paid by tax on gasoline.

Actually, no.

Gas taxes go primarily to federal highways, local roads are supported through things like property taxes, which cyclists do pay. When it all rolls out, automobile drivers are being subsidized, and cyclists are overpaying for their share of the roads.

The average commuting distance for an American is 16 miles

Yet 50% of all work commutes are less than 5 miles. The mean of a distribution doesn't tell the full story.
