I think you might be confusing cause and effect. Long term serial monogamy is the norm across cultures and religions. It does not mean any other arrangements are objectively "wrong" but this meme of "Everyone would do X if no

The correct response to being chewed out this way is "If I suck so much you must have been a fucking idiot to hire me."

I had heard that alcoholics who drink coffee have a markedly decreased chance of developing cirrhosis, something like a 60% reduction. But only for regular caffeinated coffee- not tea, not decaf coffee. Do you have any insight into why or i

At a Sam's Club the door guy literally grabbed my cart on my way out when I did not show him my receipt. I cancelled my membership the next day.

I also wear glasses and drive a sports car. This last part is due to my small penis, which is also known to cause hunting and libertarianism. Thinking caps come in a range of fashion colors.

I find it interesting that usually those who claim simple explanations for mating choice are those who are least likely to benefit from this knowledge.

It may have started out that way, but now is used to describe social progressives who tend towards shaming tactics and thought policing. Which unfortunately is the most vocal type of social progressive.

Luck is a necessary but not sufficient condition. Any success story that does not acknowledge that some level of unforseeable fortune contributed to the success is someone deluding themselves, or trying to mislead you, possibly to sell you

Not to mention a drag on business due to people not purchasing much coffee, being there for hours, _and_ appearing to be homeless.

What is amazing is that it's a mainstay in American entertainment that an underdog fights against oppression and proves the naysayers wrong and ascends to the top. Yet so many Americans apparently believe that people are so fragile tha

Unfortunately we can't trust the intentions of this piece. She might not actually care about trolls at all, just brushes them off like I do. It's an image piece, designed to fulfill specific purposes, and I doubt the purpose is me

These exist, but the criteria most desired is apparently wealth. Date a millionaire dot com and such.

tl;dr summary: "We figured out that we will still need to hire in the future, so we crafted this post to get the message out that it's ok to still come work for us- should things not work out again, you can rest assured we will fe

PR that comes out of corporations cannot be trusted. We cannot trust Altman is being honest that he appreciated her efforts. We can't trust that her and her husband were in love. All of this that comes out of spokesmen is carefully cra

I worked in another state for a well known and generally hated company based in SF who wanted me to transfer there, offering a 20k cost of living adjustment. But the actual standard of living increase that would be required amounted to a ra

That's not right either, but at least it's less wrong, as Ford had a far greater chance of repayment. Government just should not be making loans like this to private entities at all.

Any tax revenue increase would remain if Uncle Sam had equity as well. Look at this way: It's your money. Literally. Would you, as a VC, or as a kickstarter-type group, give $500M to a company, with no equity stake, but Elon telling yo

Please describe how it is inflammatory. Please describe how I implied Tesla was the only company who benefits from government largess.

We should have insisted on owning a stake, given the risky nature of the loan, and the size, at the very least.

A high-risk $500M loan from Uncle Sam (read: You and me, against our knowledge or direct choice) has created a $35B company, in which we the investor have no stake.

From my experience the majority view is what I stated- now that their rights are blessed, few are interested in standing up on principle for the rights of others. It's no different from me claiming your talking about libertarians is &q

Who is working to correct the misunderstanding? The majority of gays and their allies have the opinion that now government has blessed them, other groups can fight their own battles. Or worse and hypocritally throw up their own objections a

The perfect being the enemy of the good is one thing. It's something else when the compromise actually reinforces the root problem. We now have reinforced the idea that government gets to decide who can get married. Wrong direction.

We should have, because what we ended up with is the concept of protected classes, which plays favorites with a specific set of personal attributes and is generally a massive injustice and is now normalized.

There are always exceptions so I don't fee the need to explicitly call that out. But I do submit that it's more like most than many. Can you clarify how your second paragraph is connected to the first?

All of these things are failures only of bureaucracy to keep up. I should be able to notify the government of who my default estate recipient should be. Maybe it's my best friend or some stranger. No marriage required. Tax treatments f

Interesting concept, that sexual orientation is something we believe is ingrained, but things we find sexually repulsive are fluid and subject to change.

Any straight guy will, if given the choice, avoid scenes of man on man sex as much as possible. They might say it's "just not my thing" out of politeness or tact but watch what they do. When Chapelle said it it was funny beca
