Kim Yu-na breaks records like toothpicks

김연아 Kim Yu-na won gold in women’s figure skating with a short program score of 78.50 and a free skate score of 150.06 for a total score of 228.56. She set new world records in each of these categories, beating her previous world record total of 210.03 by 18 points. She also beat Mao Asada by 23 points, which is huge, considering that the difference between second place Asada and third place Rochette was about 3 points.

Anyways, a lot of articles say that her score was “so great that it was almost as high as a men’s score”, and that it would’ve placed her ninth in the men’s competition—which sounds really shitty.

Few articles clarify that the men’s free skate is 30 seconds longer and that they’re allowed one more jump in their programs.

So yeah, Jeré Longman of The New York Times and E.M. Swift of Sports Illustrated—you’re retards.

Craziest idea

If desktop backgrounds in the future showed HD webcams of public places, like city sidewalks, streets, subways

And people at home could get paid a portion of the fine for catching infringements

The ultimate low-cost, all-seeing police state

“Not gonna lie…”

It’s weird when people say “I’m not gonna lie…something something.”

If you say “I’m not gonna lie…” does that mean you’re a chronic liar but made an exception just this once?

And if you say “I’m not gonna lie…” multiple times a day, does that mean you’re a chronic liar struggling with breaking the addiction?
