I totally agree but unfortunately a lot of people can take the same situation and twist it up to fit their own views. Where I live we just passed a minimum wage increase. A fairly substantial one that keeps up with the rest of the country

It's like those dystopian heavy metal graphics of a feeble human with a screen strapped to their face. Back in the 80s and 90s they were thinking about televisions. People wasting their lives away being pacified by tv media while some

I bet they're more like 4 wheelers or golf carts to rats than cars. I think they're simply just having fun. Or maybe it's similar to the whole pavlov's dog thing, drive a car and get a treat. Eventually driving is assoc

I think 'show, don't tell' is a mostly meant for inexperienced story tellers since it's an easy trap to fall into that can kill the story. There's a bunch of other rules like not mixing tenses or sticking to a singl

A huge part of Reddit culture is inside jokes. They're almost like forced memes that you can always find someone over there to react to where as other people would just ignore or make fun of you for. That whole sub is basically an insi

Oh goodness yes this. I've never been able to study at home. I don't know what it is. But in libraries I'm totally in the zone. It's unfortunate because library hours are so limited. I'd love for there to be a 24 ho

People have told me their Uber/Lyft drivers offer to be their personal driver for the trip when they pick them up from airports. Not sure how common this is. Back in the day I used to drive a shuttle and once in awhile I'd get pre

My observations having lived through Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama, is that it's always the end of the world. You always have people saying they lied or committed some crime or another and each is always so much worse than the last.Th

The issue I have with the "learn to ___ on your own" industry that's popped up is that it doesn't take into account accountability for the student. Take getting into shape as an example. Excluding obvious disabilities

Paying for welding school is just one way you can go. Apprenticeships will pay for you to go while paying you. Also there's non union options where the company teaches you while paying you. If you think about it, with the proper guidan
