It would have helped in my perception of these people a lot. But then, we do not know if they actually said something very much like this, and it was just omitted.

I agree that this narrative is a harbinger of very troubled times for our country. I disagree, however, that shaming the story is fighting against that narrative. Empathy for individual decisions does more to effect systemic change, if by n

great read, appreciate you sharing it. A lot of the same mental grapplings as the OP, but with more insight into motivations.

I understand. I share your feeling quite a bit. Upvoted you for clear and friendly discussion on a subject that generally evokes a lot of emotion. I wouldn't argue that the purchase of the car was a good financial decision. As a side n

my father was like that. He could take it or leave it, but it certainly wasn't important to him. That comes from both discussion and observation. I drift in and out of having it be truly meaningful to me, but I would certainly miss it

huh. I built a clone at news.intelmap.com a year or two ago, and I don't have the percentages in my admin console. Perhaps an addition since pg's exit?

I have operated on 1099 as well; this will definitely cause some skewed numbers on 'employers'. I believe my point stands, though. Being an employer does not implicitly mean you are part of the 1%; supporting policies that are pro

I second this. It may seem archaic here, but it is standard terminology in sales to refer to a physical stop-in as a 'call'.

I'd say Aoyagi was really just expressing disdain for not including religion on the list. Saying he/she was 'preaching the truth' seems a bit far-fetched. He/she asked a question about something not being included:

I agree that the statements I highlighted aren't really "evidence" of corruption, just facts indicative of possible corruption. Corruption doesn't necessarily have to be the acceptance of a bribe, though. The dismissal o

I'll concede, I'm a little under-protected when it comes to spam in my email, and sectioning my usage out to different emails would probably be a very big improvement upon that. Still, this ought be more a pet-peeve for myself. I

Actually, I wasn't restarting the server. The pain was reloading that file, as it would break work that other people were doing at the time. I'm looking into whether modifying the postgresql.conf file from a query line will let us
