People are motivated by way more than just money.

There's passion, and then there's dirty fighting. Name calling and dismissiveness. A veritable army of straw men. Unwillingness to even attempt to understand an opposing viewpoint. Let's call that what it is. It ain't &q

> why is it considered anti-trans speech, when a villain is "a male serial killer known to have worn a dress" That's not what OP is referring to. Go read her Twitter feed and blog.

How about we all admit that this is a simplistic position that flies in the face of centuries of case law trying to work out exactly what "free speech" means and how it squares with people's other fundamental, inalienable rig

Fair. In any case, I really wish we could drive an iron wedge between work and health. They're billing this as a workplace benefit, so it does nothing to get at one of the fundamental problems with American healthcare.

On the one hand, I'm glad they're calling this Amazon Care so I know to stay a million miles away from it. On the other hand, why on earth did they attach the Amazon name to this? Does anyone actually want Amazon involved in the

Oh, I loved Ys. Ys III on Genesis was one of my favorite games from that era. I only play a select few contemporary video games, so my sample is somewhat limited, but none of them have had the sort of credits scenes that we enjoyed in the &

I was a vocal supporter of the ACA when it passed. Then I had to actually use it. It's garbage. I still couldn't afford health care, and then at the end of each year I got punished for it. The ACA is a failure.

I'm afraid I can't get any more specific than that. There's still a lot of bad blood, and it might not be over yet.

Yes. As a survivor of one of these battles, when the neighbors don't want you to do something, they will throw every wrench they can find into the works. "Good faith" is nonexistent. I'm very, very sympathetic to environ

"You must have lived in Sweden for five years with right of residence ." (Emphasis added.) Seems there's an important detail here.

It was called Greenland because Erik the Red wanted to convince people to move there. The sagas about this are fascinating, and quick reads. They include the Norse landing on America. Definitely worth your time. Penguin sells a slim English

I don't think this is a very charitable take. To me this statement is about making sure mothers don't have to do all the child-rearing, and coming together as a community to raise children. In any event, I definitely don't bu

There’s a whole lot of yelling in this thread and, so far, zero legal citations. I won’t believe anyone here knows what they’re talking about unless they can prove it.

Sorry, but you're wrong. There's nothing about regular expressions that means you have to use them to search for matching substrings. That's just one particular operation that uses regular expressions. It's not a quality

A full match has to exhaust all of the characters in the string. R*D*M* is indeed a match for a string of eight spaces, but it isn't a full match, because there are still eight spaces left over after matching. % python3 >&

I'm surprised to see so many people insisting that the submit button should be on the left. Next time you get a dialog box (or equivalent) on a platform that has user interface guidelines, pay close attention to the button placements.
