Before brown middleeastern people came to Europe , it was only tents and mounds of dirt . <| sep |> I have absolutely no doubt that the electoral college will elect Donald Trump . However , by pure semantics , until they actually do vote , he technically has not actually won the election . There ' s nothing in that line of thinking that implies someone ' s not accepting the results . It ' s a quirk of the system more than anything else . <| sep |> Oh boy , I ' m a professional athlete playing a contact sport in the single toughest league in the world . Since it ' s a contact sport , and since the league is so tough , players are easily capable of hitting each other really really hard . But I want my team to get a powerplay so it ' s easier for us to score . How should I do that ? Should I wait until someone tries to lift my stick and then pretend I got hit in the face ? Should I fall down during a puck battle and claim that I was tripped ? Should I call somebody names until he shoves me in the face ? Should I try one of the other dozen ways to fake a penalty that ' s easier and safer for me ? No , the best way to fake a penalty is to intentionally put myself in a position where I will get boarded hard , potentially risking major injury for myself simply so my team can , at best , get a 2 minute advantage , assuming my team captain doesn ' t do something like mug the gu oh , there he goes . Nevermind then , that was meaningless .
