Thanks for the info. I'll be paying attention to see if any of the specific details in this case come out. If it's anything like the stuff you mentioned then yeah I get it.
Anyone can find a job to survive, even in the depths of a horrible recession. I suspect the disconnect is a lot of people who say "eat food" really mean "drive a $60,000 car."
I think people are more disgusted by how self serving the "plant" is. Rosa Parks sat in the front of the bus to support a movement. Ahmed Mohammed brought a dismantled clock in a suitcase to school to further the…
It's unfortunate that the "hoax" label on this clock story is being considered by some a conspiracy theory. All it takes is 15 minute to look into the political history of the kids father and the nature of the clock…
I think Ahmed and his family forfeit their right to the "American way" when they decided to move to Qatar after receiving an outpouring of support from the American public (including meeting Obama).
Might as well just say metafilter in general and be done with it.
I wouldn't count on it. Knowing how this stuff works they'll probably spin it into an outrage blog and then a book deal.
>Psychologists are not taught statistics in their curriculum. That's just outright untrue. Maybe you have good points somewhere else in your comment but saying such nonsense makes me less inclined to hear you out.
I'd rather have a corporate bookstore than an independent one. My personal experience with independent bookstores is that they're usually biased about their stock and can be even more vindictive against authors they…

I would say that you are in the minority of Simpsons fans if you dislike "22 Short Films About Springfield" and especially "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer" which is frequently on top 10 episodes lists. If you…
I believe that's a paraphrase of the quote "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" by the model Kate Moss
All of the train cars on the MTA L line were made between 2006-2010 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R160_(New_York_City_Subway_car...
I was under the impression that this is what psychology/psychiatry is supposed to do by charter. Most professionals I know in the field take the attitude that a patient's psychological state should only be corrected if…
I think you're being a bit overly pedantic about the use of the word rational. Yes, everything you're saying is true, rationality is framed by the individual's goals. That said, I think it's fair to assume that values,…
I've heard this quote before in various forms but I don't like it. The luck applies to those who are already doing everything right. The other people are "failures" because you can pinpoint where they were deficient.…
Why not just deny the transaction if it can't be paid in full? The bank isn't doing you any favors by letting you pay with money you don't have, they know they'll be getting that money back and then some.
I wonder if making your social media account mimic a spam bot would get it flagged for deeper deletion on the host servers.
And when the system inevitably doesn't self-correct it just turns out that the people at the bottom get screwed. Nothing new there.
You don't have to understand a model for it to bear fruit. I'm sure you could find plenty of traders on Wall Street with models of the market who would say "we don't understand and it doesn't matter" as the money flows…
I pop a couple benadryl usually works in about 30 mins As far as drugs go benadryl is pretty innocuous. You could always buy that ZzzQuil stuff but it's the same thing for more money.
For anyone interested twitch.tv (live streaming website) has a section for programming[1]. Twitch archives all past videos so be sure to check those out as well. The game development section often has good programming…
I had a similar realization as you. Sort of a cultural "wherever you go, there you are." I do hate the elitist aspect of travel though. In a way it's sort of like experimenting with drugs, you really can't have a say on…
I got a brand new TR1200-DT3 on ebay for $350. The only catch was that it was local pickup 2 states away. So I spent a Saturday picking it up in Ohio and after gas/tolls saved about $550 (not including any savings on…
Well let me put it this way. I was stuck in a hotel for a few days with nothing but netflix to keep me entertained. I browsed through all the documentaries and found nothing worth watching that I hadn't already watched.…
