The trouble I have with this quite common argument is that it is A) beside the point and B) childish. Just because men are treated badly often and that women display bad behavior often, the point here is a pretty specific type of treatment

And I would speculate that issue is true throughout the whole system. With strong private property laws, fairly transparent government accountable in elections, employees with voices, and lawyers ready to do battle for any side of an issue,

I've been going through this for a couple years now on just about any issue I go deep on. It is unsettling and points toward meaningless (even against relative meaning derived from each other), which is even more unsettling.

Wait a minute, does this mean my diet containing a lot corn and some soy has marbled me? Hmm, that can't be good.

You might be missing the point.

Meh, most of everything is pedestrian.

I've met a lot of people who with seemingly good intentions, are way too quick to give pity.

I woke up to this gem today. For me, Headspace was the culprit. Deleting it allowed me to start the update process. Hopefully that fixes all cases. The Golden Age of Apple has ended, and looking back, it was truly a Golden Age of personal c

Provocateurs wreak havoc by emboldening the idiots that love them. That's enough to make an example of him.

Are you sure about that? I think you definitely get a few crops off that to sell at markets or to restaurants. You could probably even do eggs off that.

Can I call you "Cam"?

This seems much too simplistic.

I think your theory is most important, but one aspect that needs more thought is lack of proper sleep. Apparently that's a killer for weight gain and seems to widespread.

IIRC, keeping the weight off for years puts you among the 5 percent that have done so successfully. That is remarkably telling, I think. "My private theory—based on having "budgeted" what I eat for years—is that a lot of mode

There is a small number of people who would argue any size is fine, and there are a couple of TV shows and spokespeople saying this, but it is a tiny portion of people and media representation. The dominant "real talk" is that we&

"it is a health issue you can clearly do something about with just a little bit of will" <- That a little will can solve this seems obvious for thin people, but it doesn't reflect the reality of weight loss. In fact, this

"you can stay like this for how long as you want" <- That is a very marginal opinion. It's not really, in any broad way, what people think in the states.

Presumably this is similar here in the U.S.? In the 80's and 90's the fronts of our cars would get so encrusted with mashed bugs that it would take real scrubbing to get them off. I haven't had to do that in many years.

Ahh the memories, especially that time I got an Ask Slashdot accepted. That was a BIG DEAL for some reason. Addendum: Thinking back, Slashdot is where I came of age in tech. Also, I browsed casually without registering for at least a couple

Was going to post about more decentralized fundamentals on the Internet; identity, file storage, basic data, etc. But I'll piggyback and upvote this.

This is excellent. Rethinking these types of seemingly small things is a great way to make progress.

Touch and stylus! I want to be able to touch the screen I do real work on. Then my tablet can be consume/entertain only.

How old are you? I had the same problem as a kid...first 20 years, really. Then I started 40+ hours/week and cramming stuff into my nights so soon I was so tired I was able to go to sleep very quickly. Then 10-15 years later I added ki

A toy store that isn't even a little magical to walk into is not long for this world.

That's often very wise, but sometimes a well-placed label or even insult gets a person thinking. In this case, it's a thought like, "Why do I have this cop in my mouth?"

by aklemm 9y ago
It IS absurd and I'm with you in thinking it is a perfect storm. Possibly even a fundamental crisis of freedom. My latest tactic is to label these people "copsuckers". It makes me feel good anyway.

Resonates with me. Either we aren't ready for society in our 20s or society isn't ready for us. Either way, I think there's a missed opportunity there for a better use of that decade.
