    Ron Goldman cares, and so does the jury that awarded him a civil judgment against OJ.
    The criminal jury found that the prosecution had not met its burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that OJ caused the deaths.

    The civil jury found that a preponderance of the evidence established that he did cause the deaths.Β 

    There’s a huge difference in the standards of proof necessary in criminal and civil proceedings. You’ll care if you get in a wreck and the other driver isn't prosecuted or is acquitted by a criminal jury, but you can still recover from him in a civil suit.Β

    It's probably Taylor then Beyonce.Β  All of those are solid entries but fall down a bit save for Taylor and Adele.Β  But Beyonce does have more Instagram followers, I'd say her music hits more age ranges and demographics, while Taylor's hits her demographic with a wrecking ball.Β Β 

    I think you’re discounting Michelle Obama and Oprah. I travel and work in Europe, Africa, and Latin America a lot, and even people who don’t care about American pop culture know and usually admire those two ladies.

    We’re probably both wrong, because there’s probably some Chinese or Indian superstar that we don’t know about who is known and beloved by many more people than any American pop star.Β

    1. Caitlin Clark

    2. Beyonce

    I’m no pop culture maven, but off the top of my head I think the following probably are at least on the list if not ahead of BeyoncΓ©. Certainly than flash-in-the-pan Caitlyn Clark.Β 

    Oprah

    Taylor Swift

    One or all of the Kardashians, including Jenner’s daughter.

    Adele

    Michelle Obama

    unless you are doing louisiana stuff, green bell peppers serve no purpose.

    Because I grew up in NM, with green chile served with almost every meal, I think bell peppers are completely useless. Chile peppers are supposed to have taste and heat. Bell peppers have neither.Β

    Way too much recency bias. 1, 3, and 4 are all top ten for sure, but if you’re talking about best of all time, you have to include:

    All in the Family

    MASH

    I Love Lucy

    Mary Tyler Moore

    Dick Van Dyke

    Bob Newhart

    Honeymooners

    Jeffersons

    Fawlty Towers

    Just for fun, can everyone share their favorite starting word?

    Spoiler

    My one-two punch is β€œAROSE,” followed by β€œLINTY.” Β If I hit on 3 or more in the starter, then I don’t use linty.Β 
    I used β€œslate” until it was the word of the day.Β

    I'm a fast running back
    And I want a ticket to the Heisman ceremony
    Maybe we make a deal
    Maybe together we can win the Cotton Bowl against Mississippi State

    We got dreams to chase as we light up in the night,
    Taking slow, deep breaths under the city light.
    Feels like time just stops, oh, we're floating so far,
    A break from the rush, in our little fast car.

    We find peace in the smoke, it’s a gentle escape,
    From the chains of the day that we finally break.
    With each puff, each pass, like a soft guitar,
    We ride these clouds of freedom, in our fast car.

    Man, I learned how to play dominoes as a kid. Got taught by a bunch of old black people. Craziest mess I’d ever been around.

    Probably these guys all grown up.Β

    I've currently got the 4L chilling in the fridge for a big night of shitting tonight.Β 

    Seems pretty stupid that they don't have any measurement marks on the jug.Β 

    Not too jazzed about my chicken broth lunch, and am not looking forward to having it again for dinner.Β 

    Β 

    If you had bottled the blast, you could’ve had it again for lunch after the procedure.Β

    When the WNBA attendance and viewership reaches within 50% of the NBA, we can talk.Β  Until then, go get those endorsements!

    You don’t get it. WNBA players work just as hard as NBA players. Therefore they should be paid the same. Don’t distract from the argument by pointing out irrelevancies like attendance, TV ratings, revenue from licensing, or other similar silly numbers. Just pay them more. C’mon man.Β

  11. Incessant emails from Amazon that read β€œNNM, will you rate your transaction at Amazon with [random vendor]?
    Β 

    No, I won’t. I bought a widget, they sold it to me. Β It’s called commerce. If I like it and need more of it and they delivered a quality product in a timely fashion, I’ll order it again. If the quality was crap, or it was late, or I didn’t need it after all, then I’ll return it or choose another vendor.

    But I’m not going to play your ratings game.Β
