When you say it does work, do you mean it work well? Because there might be a very good discussion, but the latest comments could be "my peepee is very big" and "no, your peepee is small!". And the good discussion would

It is a metaphor, and I am pretty sure that everyone reads it as such. This post is about the author being against a thing that no one believes. It qualifies as a strawman, easily.

This was never about being ACTUALLY drunk. You have to be drunk to believe it is. I think this is just an intellectually dishonest blog post trying to get some easy clicks.

Why should employees worry about housing? About what to do with their lives? Why should they worry about managing their finances? I propose the idea of WorryFree, a new form of employment. They give you home, food and handle all your money.

Every time I see people from the US saying stuff like that I am reminded how "justice" in the US is basically a money game instead of real justice. Why. Is. This. Not. Free? Righting a wrong done to you, specially small ones, shou

While it's true that some monopolies are formed because of the government, MANY more would be formed without it.

If you're getting paid for things you're not ACTIVELY working for, guess what... that's PASSIVE.

About your number one: I see lots of programmers putting too much thought (and time) into code. As if the code was the important part of anything. I am a programmer, and I have this PSA for others: Your code is just a necessary evil, not so

You seem to think "marketing" only means putting ads on the subway or TV commercial or something like that. These 3 games did a lot of marketing. It was just not the millionaire kind of marketing that EA does.

I won't even comment on the generalization, but... why can't it be both? They're not mutually exclusive.

I just hope they start banning it everywhere. And follow through with enforcing it.

I agree. Particularly because the voice acting is usually just distracting you from what you're reading. There you are, reading the fifth sentence, and the voice is still slowly speaking the beginning of the second one.

You're thinking about meal prices on richer countries. I am a software developer, so I get paid more than the average Brazilian. And I spend 14~18 BRL (4.3 to 5.5 USD) on a good meal regularly. 39 to 75 BRL is very expensive to our sta

Government officials don't give a fuck about it. At all. No one beside themselves has the power to declare any of their spendings as illegal. So they could, for example, declare they spent $190 dollars on burger and fries for one perso

To me (not living in the US and some other countries), it is weird if it's legal even if it's in the employment contract. The idea of companies having the power to decide what it's employees can or can't do OUTSIDE of th

But if that was the reason, why also ban bitcoin and other crptocoins? Also, why is it even legal? Companies shouldn't have the power to decide what its employees can or can't do with their own time or money.

What CAN you do? Take a politician down, and a new one takes its place. If you protest, they put the police to attack protesters. If people get together to fund a campaign to change things, big corporations get 10000x more money on a bigger

While I'm not saying that is a lie, anyone can claim anything. I can claim piracy in China costs me 18 billion dollars.
