> In reality, the President is a sort of CEO of a giant conglomeration of federal agencies... This is such an awful comparison. I wish people would stop making it. A CEO and the President (should) operate in very different ways with a ve

Have you, uh, looked at gab.ai and voat lately? Because my lord, they might attempt to copy some of the technical aspects of Reddit and Twitter, but their communities are something else entirely, to put it mildly...

Probably does vary by state. But overall: "According to the College Board, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2017–2018 school year was $34,740 at private colleges, $9,970 for state residents at public colleges, and $25,620 f

State schools, my friends. If you're in-state, you might pay 1/4 or less the costs of a private college.

Then something is internally broken at that company, and -- again -- the people who act as the public face of that company run the risk of having the resulting ire directed at them. But it's not personal -- it's their job to act a

As noted in the article, they're a public face of the company. If they don't know the actual answers to questions being posed, they should reach out to someone in their organization who does, not make stuff up.

Last library I went into was shortly after a local school had released the students for the day. It was full of kids excitedly looking around and checking out books and just generally seeming to enjoy themselves. It was awesome.

You seem to be making the argument that you feel you should have some say about what goes on in other people's bedrooms. My only question was whether you live up to that ideal by making sure that the people around you are okay with you

You require society's permission for every sex act you participate in? Just curious how you go about that. Do you knock on the doors of all of your neighbors so you can explain in detail your sexual plans and get their approval? Do you

I liked the cross-posting because some people would comment on those Tweets on Facebook -- and then we could engage there. It did add value and wasn't just shoveled content. Anyway, I'm not particularly upset. Seems more like Face

Huh. Weird to retroactively pull content out of my feed. Now there's just, like, one post from all of 2018. Reveals to both me and the world that I don't actually really use Facebook that much... :-/

People who follow me on Facebook are different than people who follow me on Twitter. The integration was nice because I could send messages to both platforms at once and would get responses from different people on each. I'm not going

I mean, the building they use for the picture of the Alamo was built in 1744. So the whole thing's a confusing mess.

I'm not sure what their criteria is, as the part of the Alamo in their image was started in 1744 and never actually completed. (Depending on your definition of "completed," I suppose.)

There's no way the Alamo is the oldest building in Texas. A cursory googlin' turns up this, for example": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_San_Juan_Capistrano_(T...

I'm glad they're looking into fixing their comment system, but: Fake. Not fake. The comments wren't a vote -- they were comments. If anything they should be used to add ideas to the mix. Things that may have been overlooked.
