Very often it really is. It's just that people don't admit it. It's not the regular annual vacation break. You know what I mean.

It doesn't make much sense and looks utterly paranoid. To me, all this "privacy" thing looks more like a hype than something of real importance, and the companies like Apple are taking advantage of such a mentality. Suppose y

I don't really think modern dictionaries are that bad. In fact I don't find them bad at all. When I prepared for SAT and had to go through all the SAT words, I did it with joy because I could form endless hilarious and crazy imagi

Indeed the unauthorized access to office sucks. But what strikes me the most is the totally nonsensical(to me) sensational emotional reactions of each person. How can trivial, pointless things be blown out of proportion as to incite "c

I always find such logic incomprehensible. Is a job that suits your interest, contributes to others in a meaningful way, and makes your life rewarding while at the same time keeps you a decent living ever so hard to find? I don't reall

I have to say that looks a weird and potentially very harmful way of thinking. Why by default pit yourself against your job? Why you have to work on some "personal project" which seems to be completely isolated from, even contrary

That article seems far-stretched and circuitous, making things out of its own rather than really explaining what Nolan is trying to say(It's actually not that complicated. Just a hugely commercial movie which is attached too many conno

This explanation is not totally convincing. The main issue is the OP actually just referred to very few scenes, while there is no proof that throughout all scenes this difference remained consistent. A more plausible explanation would be

To be honest I hardly find HONY anywhere near "inspiring" or "warm". IMO 80% of the stories are sad or filled with confusion and pessimism. The people he meets is one thing, but the tone of the story is set by the writer

To "guess" is one thing but to get it correctly is another. Of course popcorn literature won't help you anything on understanding humanity, but I doubt whether literary classics tend to create some misunderstanding and confus

Of course… Literary fiction is way better than popcorn culture escapism popular fiction, on a serious perspective. However, I believe, on understanding others, the best books are still those nonfiction books which try to directly analyze an

That's probably too far-stretched. In fact I believe conventional wisdom states the opposite, that those who get high scores in tests will likely be technical geniuses who understand how things work and do the hands-on stuffs, while th
