How interesting! Have you done any experiments to try to identify the “line” between the two skills? For example, can you write individual letters in isolation? Like a single letter “T” by itself? And can you still draw shapes? (Like a circ

But the pie will be smaller. Much smaller. And there’s no reason to think the average Brit will be getting a bigger piece of it. If anything I’d expect the exact opposite.

For anyone who may be confused this is the CEO who cleaned up the Enron mess. Not Jeffrey Skilling who was the CEO who helped make it happen.

Intent matters. It sounds like maybe the pilots are being led to believe they’re teaching at a flight school in South Africa rather than being outright offered to help the Chinese government spy on British tech. The Bitcoin guy knew full we

This comment reminds me of an LA Times Op-Ed from 2018 titled Why do poor Americans eat so unhealthfully? Because junk food is the only indulgence they can afford [1] and the more recent study that has been making the rounds on the same to

It is absurd but for a lot of these people the lottery is their “best bet” at getting out of their current financial situation. Consider too that modern lotteries are structured to give you enough of a dopamine hit that you want to keep pla

Running any kind of legal sweepstakes in the US is such a massive pain in the ass that I genuinely don’t understand why anyone bothers.

I’m not discussing fiction as a whole. All of my examples were specifically from the thriller and romance genres.

What about fiction like American Psycho , We Have Always Lived in the Castle , Pride and Prejudice , or The Tempest ? Do they not deliver social commentary on the human condition that equals (or maybe even surpasses) 1984? Are you equal

Why the false dichotomy? Recreational drug use doesn’t need to be either a mental health disorder or a moral failing. I think there’s plenty of room in the discussion to allow for recreational use knowing that for some people recreational u

Are we really saying that a story about a world record sized pumpkin is being “censored”? Come on. At a certain point people just have to accept that “nobody cares” != “censorship”.

I’m sure this had no bearing whatsoever on the fact that they weren’t charged but their father just so happened to have been a Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice who (coincidentally, I’m sure) retired the same year the scheme began.

Zoning is preventative. It can stop a nuisance neighbor before they ever start. When a neighbor creates a nuisance the existence of an anti-nuisance law does nothing except provide a potential basis for a potential reprieve several months o

There’s a photo of the book cover that disrupts the article but it continues beyond that paragraph. The section you’re quoting from makes it pretty clear they’re describing how *McKinsey* holds themselves out to the world. A paragraph or tw
