There's plenty of good film and TV out there, and you don't even have to look hard to find it. I find this attitude to not just elitist but lazy and ignorant.

For a long time I've wanted to write a self-censoring browser tool that sits between my social media forms and the HTTP call that sends what I type. It was going to be rudimentary: when you hit "post" on FB/TWT/etc.

I own a bunch of novels in Japanese, and every single one is vertically-written. Same with all the comic books I own. I think maybe a couple children's manga I had years ago were horizontally-written, but we're talking something I

Hello! I'm a user of Unison. Been toying with it off and on since I heard about it maybe spring of last year from a Reddit post on the functionalprogramming sub. As a somewhat stay-at-home dad I was looking to do something fun with pro

It's utterly wild that you would equate back-breaking manual labor with doing multiplication tables. It speaks to how very little back-breaking manual labor you've done in your life.

Small-l "libertarianism" has convinced many otherwise reasonable people that if you raise wages, giant corporations with huge profit margins will elect to shut down.

So if child labor was banned, it is your contention that chocolatiers would just shutter their doors because they can't find labor anymore? You can't conceive of the possibility that they'd hire adults at a higher wage? Or ra

by KPGv2 3y ago
Why does it bother you? Probably only because you've been taught that you're supposed to hate it. There's nothing inherently wrong about vocal fry: there are human languages where vocal fry is an essential component of native

The hatred of vocal fry is just class-oriented bigotry. It's a variation on anti-AAVE. Previously, uptick speech filled the need for hatred. But then it turned out in studies that uptick was perceived as more intelligent by later Gen
