When Titanic aired on broadcast TV earlier this year, I was struck by the horror of the situation in a way I hadn't been when it first came out (my being 7-years-old at the time might have something to do with that, of course). I came

Half the problem is that you've been convinced that this is a left-right issue. It's political, absolutely. But not left-right. Stand up for what's just.

What gets me is all this talk of an employee making their terms of employment known (this so-called "ultimatum") being somehow unusual. An employee/employer relationship is ultimately a running series of ultimatums. What&#x27

Best Buy did this when they released their employee app. In signing up for it, it said they had the ability to view everything on the phone, and to wipe it clean if need be. I used my employee discount to buy a cheap secondary phone with no

Well, no. The bailout was unprecedented in size, it was completely in sane (in that it clinches the imminent and extremely messy doom of either the American middle or investor class, depending on whether populist fear or populist rage pr

How do you measure competency? Does not the speed of that recovery, in the face of ongoing and growing pressures on the consumer class that floats the economy-at-large, leave you wary of its fundamental foundation and stability?

I dropped ~$1000 of my last savings into options earlier this year because "DIS is going to print." Actually, it's because I was unemployed and staring down the barrel of a rent payment that that money would not be able to co

I want to join, but this carries over a lot of the same problems that modern social media has developed - primarily, insight into a heavy portion of my personal data and connections, without any assurance that it won't be monetized in

What if you want to use the same form factor, same system, same files, you just want the system to allocate resources differently? That's what this hypothetical would be.

Most people I know using Patreon post weekly, with maybe 2-3 posts a week. That includes 2nd-tier content like WIP and polls. Patreon requires a substantially smaller commitment, but it's more difficult to find patrons than viewers.

The state of insurance undercuts the quality of the services, actually. It raises costs, changes treatment decisions, and has generally warped our system towards one focused on lucrative, worse-outcome behavior on the part of doctors and ho

This is a disturbing trend that I hope to see called out more frequently in the future. Several of the latest Call of Duties "play" similarly. Even fantasy isn't immune: imagine my dismay, as a fan of Werewolf: The Apocalypse

Anyone who watches Fox News is exposed to it, and the first time someone corrects them, they're liable to double-down. So, no, I don't think it's a fringe thing at all.
