This is exactly how I feel. I have no interest in what vice has become (except for the fact that a small fraction of their content is still very good) but it doesn't erase how good they used to be. Many of the documentaries from maybe

Ignoring the fact that this article (and I'm assuming the book it's based on) seems to just make repeated assertions as to the degree of "bullshit" work in the economy and then backs it up with mostly anecdotes, my real

Art fairs aren't broken. Art is broken. The whole complaint of this article is that non artists can't properly profit off of it. The whole art world has become a pissing match to buy the couple of big names that will impress their

I will never understand the people who dump blame on the CEOs without moving on to why the government doesn't hold them accountable. The CEO's job is to create value for shareholders. The government's job is to create laws th

Still not clear to me what "code-free programming" means. Wix with some plugins? The website says you're looking at paying $100k+ if you want "fully custom responsive design". Seems designed to prey on people who do

Jew here. What's anti-semtic about this. Did `G-d` not tell the Jews it's their promised land? Is it not part of the justification used in elements of the dispute? Antisemitism is not the act of disagreeing with a Jewish person. I

You already answered your own question as to why having this argument with an 'anarchist' is a waste of time. By redefining capitalism to be a specific case of oligarchic kleptocracy (the very non free market system of corporate w

What a load of shit. All the more clear as I'm traveling in a 3rd world country where people actually have to deal with difficult working conditions. I see people in their mid 70's doing long days of physical labor on a farm for d

Really Sad to me that Ember.js gets so little love. It is hands above Angular 1 or 2 in my mind and the only JS front end framework that I feel productive in.
