This rings so incredibly true. It takes a lot of curating on my part (and a gigantic mute and blocklist) to avoid the stresses of Twitter. Most people aren't going to put in that degree of effort, or even want to.

The Evernote Mac client is the one of the worst piece of software on the Mac platform. I've actually been using a $5 replacement app, Alternate, and moving my Evernote text notes back to nvALT synced through Dropbox. Evernote, please,

Yup. That's how I cancelled Comcast. Me: "I'm moving." Clerk: "Oh, where to? We can set up your service ahead of time so it's ready when you---" Me: "Ireland." Clerk (disappointed): "Oh.&quo

Telling someone to shut up because they're being abusive is still speaking up and taking responsibility. You have all the right to say what you want. Nobody has the right to listen to you, and they have as much right to tell you to shu

Some opinions aren't worth having a discussion about. If someone says that "all fags should be rounded up and shot" there's nothing discussion worthy there. A rape survivor is under no obligation to have a discussion wit

Have you ever thought why that is? I'm a "white NT cishet male", as well, and at a glance, you can't tell the decent people from the awful ones. It's about behavior, and in a space where most people who look like us

Or, we could take women and minority students at their word about the stuff they find offensive and hurtful and treat them with a little respect. Oh, wait, that's too much work. They're just a bunch of whiners. Edit: Not sure if t

Hedge funds aren't much better, and have the added "benefit" of being completely opaque to the investor with higher fees. Part of why there's so much investment in Venture and Growth Capital by so many institutions, incl
