Would probably be a good idea to have a no-exceptions version.

This the correct way to deal with criminals - it's not your call to decide if they're a minor, a psychopath etc.. This way society can deal with criminals, hopefully his parents will make an effort now. Had you not done all this w

This is such a frustrating issue. I understand that from a financial perspective it makes no sense to try and stop people stealing bikes or vandalising cities and I'm falling over myself trying to find a justification for doing so anyw

Don't want to spend your salary on your mortgage? Houseshare. Has the added benefit of still living in a house. Cook for yourself. Don't own a car. Live outside the city (obviously some are mutually exclusive). Stop buying useless

This is a heart-warming story but he is definitely conflating 2 separate issues. If you want to have a gap year and drive around the country then do that and it's clearly what he wanted. If you want to cut down on expenses there are f

I was the happiest when not thinking about it. There is a trite and often reapeted lesson there.

You're on the Internet. Can't you just tell us what those obscure interests are?

What is ambiguous about drugs being illegal in almost every country on the planet (with a handful of exceptions)? Just because the police doesn't catch all the murderers doesn't make murder legal. That's crazy logic.

You just described the reality I live in. Where do you live? I want to move there.

Remember when game reviews told you if the game was fun or not instead of being some pretentious twaddle? Nah, Neither do I.

I remember when I ran into login issues after switching from debian and tracking it down to the motd clusterfuck. My solution was to use hosts file to block any attempts to communicate with canonical. Probably saved myself extra hassles wit

It's probably insensitive to make any sort of comments about an article like that but the line from the first story: "perhaps this will be my entire life as long as I’m “affirming” my labor-power in the factory" was a kick to

Here's a crazy idea for solving the problem with uber and taxis: public transport.

I think the crystallised male fashion is a massive cultural achievement. Right up there with shaking hands, sending letters and using cutlery. Shame about the loss of hats.

I happen to agree with you 100%. I read the book this year and found it fascinating to see how easily relatable people 100 years ago were, especially since the stream of consciousness gives a better insight into their thoughts than a regula

by Paul_S 10y ago
Thanks. How does stream of consciousness elevate the ordinary? Forgive me for trying to drill down to the nub of the matter but without it the answer is just pushing the bubble up the wall. Since you didn't realise this on your own whe

What's your takeaway from it then - if you now think it's worth its praise why is that?

A t-shirt with a tech joke, xkcd comic etc.. You can get those on the high street today.

"work them "too hard" it's good for them and the only way they get seasoned" Oh, games industry, never change. I'm sure people will think this is satire - except the ones who worked in gamedev.

I'm not advocating one global language and I think everyone should learn at least one language other than English but let's let the dying languages die. Natural selection is doing a good job. The good ones will survive.

Clearly I've been very naive but I had no idea people made a living writing fake reviews: https://www.amazon.com/AuYou-Switch-Wireless-Electronics-Any... What is the point of this? I assume they're after the star
