It's not about the word game. The word game is a symptom of a larger social problem. edit: To expand on that, today it's a word game. Before that, it's Joe Rogan. Before that, it's Dr. Seuss books. There is ALWAYS someth

I'm "people", so I guess I'll chime in with my opinion. Laws exist because we, as a society, decided that we want to live by a certain set of rules. If the rules are not upheld, law becomes less useful. Some actors in ou

I don't think you'd be very excited to do your job either in the environment they're in. The BLM movement has been given far too much latitude to kick up dust over police encounters that aren't worth getting bent out of

Removing can't always be done later, because that requires rewriting the repository's history. Logical commits serve a real purpose: they make change review easier and can help bisect bugs later. That's orders of magnitude mo

Add me to the list. Just today my young lady was lamenting how she learns virtually nothing because disruptive kids ruin it for everyone else. That was also my experience growing up in school. And it was also my partner's. That is way

On the contrary -- welcome to the world trust building. If you only know one thing, you keep your mouth shut until you know more. And if the thing you know isn't actually known, like how effective the vaccine really is, that goes doubl

First of all, "we" don't all get the flu vaccine every year. Those of us who are healthy can elect not to get it and be just fine. Secondly, the flu vaccine isn't the same vaccine every year. It is reformulated to target

I wouldn't say that. I had an 11 year old ask me what "right-click" was the other day. Yes, it sounds insane and it absolutely is. I blame the public school system. They know only what they're exposed to, and no more. Mo

Rowing is pretty dependent on good form, I have noticed after not doing it too long. Pulling faster/harder will make it more difficult. Try that, I guess?

I have only ever heard good things about rowing. Because exercise is a chore for me, I want to minimize the amount of time I have spend doing it. I got a rowing machine recently. It hits a ton of muscles all at once, and is not bad for card

Because when you are an adult, your choices have real consequences. Kids have to learn that lesson. All told, a 12 year old kid seeing porn they sought out is small potatoes compared to the consequences of some other decisions.

When did you start noticing that change? I am going through it right now, and I am barely in my mid 30s. It's not awful. I am still sharper than most, I find. But damn if it isn't depressing.
