This is a very poorly worded headline. Also, the author of this article criticizes the original article for playing fast and loose with facts. But then takes an unsubstantiated claim from the CEO of the company in…
Certainly, it seems appealing and, worse, people feel disenfranchised when they see polls that show the majority of people support something while the government rejects it (because people of a higher economic class or…
Came to the comments to post this, so thanks for beating me to it. Any time someone says they have "the secret," they are selling you something. And more often than not, there's a good amount of snake oil in that bottle.
Yeah, he's obviously just trying to get the biography rolling since he fears he won't be able to soon. Not some secret "go" word or something.
Governments censor. Private institutions editorialize. If the NYT chooses not to print an op-ed you send them, it is NOT censorship. If the United States government forces the NYT not to print your op-ed, it IS…
Agreed. This whole phenomenon was reported on widely after "Avatar" came out. News anchors gleefully reporting that people left the theater feeling depressed their world wasn't as fantastic as Avatar. More of "the kids…
Except the economy is becoming more globalized and many people's jobs have them working at odd times anyway. I used to work 4pm-1am EST and so my schedule aligned more closely with people in hawaii and australia so I…
I came here to post this after reading the article. These clickbaity headlines using ill-conceived methodologies are going to doom us all to the pits of misinformation. There are notable ceasefires still in effect in…
The number cited in the article is probably limited to a certain release-based window.
I played through the whole original Freedom Force when it was originally released. Loved it. Didn't go for the "Third Reich" expansion because I was not super interested in more WW2 sounding stuff at that point and as a…
The "Confident Jerk" gets the girl mythos comes from men who are just plain jerks but believe themselves to be nice. When confronted with rejection from women, they rely on this mythos to displace blame for their own…
Those delights are so overpriced as to be insulting. Really hard to enjoy some scrambled eggs when they cost $13.
It isn't that I hold myself responsible. It is that my association within the group called 'men' is frustrated by the behavior and attitudes of many of those whom I encounter. I also wish as a whole, we were better and…
I support this discourse and hope the author of the original article will feel confident to write again. I have no idea how to solve the monstrous problems related to internet harassment. It is well out of hand,…
This is such a pernicious justification for CEO compensation. You don't need to "jump to another CEO role" to continue to be fabulously wealthy. Failing spectacularly as a CEO often does nothing to impact your…
Yeah, that tracks with reality... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Hayward :P
If you buy a house in the $227k range on a $55k income (With NO insurance and NO property taxes, the monthly payment would be ~$1,736.53), you will have to live very carefully to get by comfortably (considering $55k…
The regulation one is interesting because the reason those regulation bills have to be so big is to try to cover all the legal tricks big companies use to weasel out of them. I think the article should have emphasized…
Where do you live that $350,000/yr isn't enough to live on?
C'mon really...? People need to be told it's nice to not have a house laden with junk? That's worth Trademarking a name? Guess lots of folks were never told to clean up their crap growing up. What's next? A book deal…
"so long as the gun on the tank has been permanently rendered inoperable." Yeah, not really what I meant. But kinda cool!
That is a nonsense argument. By that logic we should let arms dealers sell individuals tanks, missiles, nuclear weapons. Why not? The objects themselves aren't destructive afterall! The reason is because their POTENTIAL…
It's BS, this guy is an idiot cartoonist who fancies himself a genius despite his failed restaurant and various public shamings for gross behavior.
He certainly fancies himself as Dogbert. In reality, he's more like the pointy haired boss.
Statistics? Because every actual statistic shows the opposite. http://www.factcheck.org/2009/05/gun-control-in-australia/
