There's a wonderful way of sharing photos which denies information brokers entirely and is very secure if you make it so. It's called a photo album, the kind you put paper pictures in and give to your friends when you visit them a

The linked article bases this on three sources; one former employee answering on Quora, one more answering on the consumerist, and a third answering on a 45 comment reddit thread not specifically on Costco. Take it with a huge grain of salt

So I decided to go on dictionary.com. Here's what I see on the front page: -We asked "What is the state of the USA in five words? The responses are not what we imagined." -Can you translate these famous quotes from emoji? - H

The article is annoying, because of the "why" minisections. Why should we defend him? Because he tries. Because we want to go to mars. Because he redefines ambition. Because he is a superhero. Because everyone makes mistakes. Beca

The gist of the article is that Watterson was a guest artist on Patsis's Pearls Before Swine comic, and drew some panels on three of the daily strips. Ironically, the strips reveal why Watterson was so successful, he was an excellent a

This article is wishful thinking, with no real evidence of what the author is saying is viable or desired by many people. I'm not sure why it is here, since it is pure ideology with no real scientific backing.

No one cares how hard you work when you open a business and keep it running. They aren't your friends, they are your customers, and the only reward you should expect is the cash they give you for the service or goods you provide. A poi

I'm sorry graffiti hasn't been gentrified in your neighborhood yet. Maybe a stern TED talk might change minds.

You have to love newspeak; define vandalism as street art, because of what? Some repressed desire of the harried urban knowledge worker to strike back at the Man who forces him to live in a rabbit hutch, riding on dirty subways to get anywh

If it's the journey, it's not perfectionism. Perfectionism is all about results; a person wants the results in their life to be perfect according to the means they define it as, which requires control. The moment you realize you c

For comparison, two of the most delayed games for consoles are The Last Guardian and Kingdom Hearts 3, and both either released or on track to release in 6 years. FFXV took ten years, and was more or less completely redesigned from its init

...monasticism was never healthy. I really defy someone to read the Rule of Saint Benedict and not think of a modern prison at least once. Monasticism is even considered spiritually dangerous at times, and is linked to its own specific sin,

If you asked them, they would effusively tell you all this surveillance is being used for the social good, and probably even believe it. Not many people are brutally honest about how their work destroys the social fabric, and will always po

You should say yes to history instead. I can think of another drug that was also lionized among the intelligentsia of their time, both for its medicinal uses and its spiritual or creative benefits. That drug was opium. "But I took it—a

The flip side though is that the business minded artists often produce the most banal work. James Patterson has made 700 million dollars over a decade from his writing and cowriting. His books dominate the shelves, but as art they barely ri

well, one of the biggest criticisms of materialism is religion, and western culture has been very good at marginalizing it for the sake of the rich. I think people are finding out that for all of religion's faults, it acted as a altern
