Cue the people saying "yeah but we all make our own luck" or "luck favors the prepared" Which misses the point. Of course you have to be good AND lucky to succeed. But not everyone can be lucky. So think of that the next

> Punks, at least, most certainly do listen to cassettes. In my years playing punk / indie music (which only ended last year) I did find a few people who said they listened to the tapes. Most people told me they didn't have a t

Yes. I actually kept some of the cassettes I was given, and they do look nice on a shelf. Plus it's a way to support the band. I once considered releasing a tape with no music on it. Just nice cover art. I wonder if anyone would know?

I thought the same thing when all these punk and indie groups were releasing cassettes. Then I found out that most people didn't play the cassettes. They bought them because they look good on a shelf. The cassettes have a download code

I mean, good for them it they think it helps in their life. I personally don't understand the obsession with getting things done. In the post, they say the tattoo remind them that there's always things to get done. I don't th

The burden of proof is on the person making positive claims (schools teach that men are bad, women on social media are becoming divas)

You and some other commenters in the replies are making this claim. So yeah, Obama was black, and some people were excited to vote for him because he was black. That's not what I'm asking. Did his Facebook ads specifically take ad

In the linked article, Doris Lessing recounts an anecdote where a teacher said something offensive about men. That teacher was clearly wrong. It also does not demonstrate that "schools trying to teach boys their gender is the cause of

> Manspreading and mansplaining are two light examples of calling for male harm. Asking someone not to take up extra room on the subway is not harm. It's basic courtesy. And in reality, few people actually gripe about manspreading a

There should be, I agree. The best features of facebook are events, and friend recommendations. It would be great if we had an open standard for the social graph, and then other companies could make services like events or friend discovery,

How did Obama's strategy harvest racial tensions? I genuinely want to know. Can you link me to something?

Don't know how much you use FB but I highly recommend it. When I got rid of mine, all I lost was status updates from people who weren't really my friends to begin with. Your close friends will stick by you and your social life wil
