What they're buying _is_ more special and thus worth more. Green Day doesn't need more money but I love limited edition art from small artists. Why? I know the art up in my home isn't up in everyone's home. I want my spa

Recognizing when life is more important than work? Did you miss the part where his wife died BEFORE "tuning the dial to life"? The lesson you should get from his post is not to make that mistake. This forum is absurd. I don't

the only thing I can do more efficiently in the office is socialize, so I assume that that's what they're talking about when they talk about collaboration and culture and all that shit, so how's the wife?

I just have to call out how absolutely absurd this statement is as an example of a lived West Coast USA stereotype. Of course, the self-driving car produced by silicon valley meets its natural predator in the wild of California -- a protest
