I guess it's the 21st century equivalent to being purchased by Computer Associates -- which was known as the place where good software goes to die.

Soon Jainism will become popular, is my prediction. Someone will package twigs and leaves as a Jainist snack pack and make a fortune.... I'd better get started! /s

The Right looks at the Left and finds them misguided and stupid. The Left looks at the Right and finds them evil.

So, hospital for bumps and bruises, because they're just as serious as broken bones?

I think you mean that the workplace sounds subpar... or do you think it makes the commenter's work product of poor quality, too?

Wow, they sure put the "Cult" in Culture.

"development in language"? That's a very kind phrasing for a trend for activist-journalists to further proclaim their woke-ness in their writing.

We now know that Covid is not nearly as deadly as was first perceived, and that a relatively narrow band of the population is vulnerable to its worst effects. It's foolish to act as though this is worse than it is.

It is superficially sad, but as you point out the 2nd order effects are really positive. Google has really done us all a favor by being actually more authentic: they're saying "We're an Advertising company ." (the peri

But that would insult Lord of the Rings. His beard and nose ring, with his smug manner, combined with the alien-looking Zuckerberg and his style, should provoke everyone's primal instincts to avoid anything these guys have built.

The doubt is sometimes valid, as it might not seem (or in fact be) reasonable for the offended party to be offended. If person A says something that person B takes offense at, but person A had no intention of being offensive, _and_ it is n

I'd want to re-evaluate businesses like DoorDash in a few months from now, _after_ vaccine distribution is underway. I think this whole model might look very different then (i.e. as shaky as it did pre-Covid).

A little off topic, but where does this now commonly used phrase "lived experience" that lefties love to use so much come from. Doesn't the word "experience" cover the idea? Is it to differentiate from their readin

"Drivers and labor groups" = Drivers who were hoping to unionize, so not very surprising. I think the whole goal of 22 was to expand the ranks of unions. Very glad it failed.

I noticed in the past couple of weeks that the verbiage on my fire stick changed from "you own this video" to "you purchased this video". I knew that meant something like this... and sure enough.
