Everyone wants to feel special.

Turns out love of large paychecks is stronger than hatred of ads.

Likely a typo for "RSUs"

Why didn't your colleague call the police when the taxi driver kidnapped him? Are you sure he was taken against his will?

> The best a centrist can do is wait for the courts to fix it.

That is not how corruption is fixed.

That's not completely true. For example, the rationale behind the war on drugs (Nixon era and revived by Reagan, long before McConnell) was not about truth or moral virtue.

It's the southern strategy at work. It's not about what is true or what is morally right. It's about not letting *the other team* get any wins. This is why they needed to pretend COVID wasn't a big deal, because otherwise you are admitting that *the other team* was right.

> I only date people of the same sex

I initially read that as a side effect of not smoking weed anymore.

I'm starting to think health care should not be run like a business.

Except that was a hypothetical. The effects of climate change are real, and irreversible.

So they don't have it.

They're using AI for everything now.

It's not you. Google nerfed search a few years ago. I noticed exactly what you noticed around 2016 or so.

Is it really that ridiculous to put minorities in the spotlight for a few years? Try watching a "popular" movie from the 70s, 80s, 90s, or early 00s (e.g. Star Wars or Lords of the Rings). It is very depressing how blatantly they are excluded.

Featuring minorities for a while isn't that big of a deal. It would be an incredible moral failing if we pretended racial representation is all fine now.

Most voice actors are not working on shows anywhere near as successful as The Simpsons.

Implying "inside numbers" produced by Apple are somehow more trustworthy?

Your comments read like someone who just did a large amount of drugs. All over the place.

If Walgreens is in the business of making money, what is the San Francisco DA in the business of?

History will not look kindly at our stupidity for allowing the creators of Pervy Stalker App to buy up the only good VR tech.

I would guess the opposite. There is a ton of new stuff going into space, and by a larger variety of organizations than in the past.

What is with this knee-jerk defense of Apple every time someone suggests holding them to a higher consumer standard?

You can sell good products while still embracing open technologies.

Even Wish You Were Here? It's one of their more popular songs that doesn't sound very Pink Floyd-y.

Or terminating a pregnancy due to rape.

It's really no different than constantly checking your karma/follower/friend count or checking your portfolio. Gotta have those validation boosts or all this work would seem wasteful.

What government group said that the non-vaccinated were safe anyway? Do you have a single source?

How is this any different than the term 'breakeven' [0]?

> Breakeven describes the moment when plasmas in a fusion device release at least as much energy as is required to heat them

Is this just a case of multiple terms for the same phenomenon, and do plasma physicists have a preference?

I see, so your "you can have all three, you just have to..." is actually unrealistic/bad advice to those who are not self-employed, not to mention those who actually enjoy doing things in the city.

What are you job options if you get laid off? How often do you and your spouse spend time with friends? I would hate moving to a small town and being cut off from seeing friends whenever I want to. Not to mention people tend to congregate towards larger cities, so moving to a small town probably means giving up quality food and my favorite events like sports and the symphony.

Is it actual teammates the in-office crew wants, or do they just want to work around other people? In that case you aren't "inevitably forcing your colleagues into your own way of working" if you can find something that works for everyone, such as the in-office crew having a coworking site, or relocating that team to a common city if the team can accommodate it.

In fact, the refusal to acknowledge the truth that alternatives exist (albeit out of the box alternatives) strikes me as a common way for in-office advocates to shut down the WFH conversation.

No, androgynous dress did not originate in KPop Asia. That is an incredibly shallow and probably wrong take. Look at Little Richard or any other androgynous star from the 50s and 60s. It was a thing long before that too.
