Cmd+F'd the comments and not one person has mentioned overpopulation. There are more people than ever before, and the issues of crowding are simply a symptom of overpopulation. The idea of raising the prices to make it cost-prohibitive

All of those things are nice, until they become reasons that the employer expects you to live at the office. At what point does _that_ become strangely feudal? You're practically living at work at that point. I want to leave my office

I think about it this way - the planet will survive, humans will not. Within a year of us being gone the planet will take over everything we ever owned. Weeds will break through the streets and house foundations, and in a decade or so (blin

Perhaps because the scammers only speak English? Most of them are in India and I don’t think Swedish is a strong suit of theirs. Just a guess.

Well, they probably didn't become billionaires by spending extra money when they didn't have to. Even Bill Gates has a budget.

In the age of “we need to get our privacy back” someone is suggesting that an extremely personal thing that includes money is made public? Are you kidding me?

Statistically because drunk drivers are looking at the road and aren’t seeing everything correctly (or quickly enough), distracted drivers aren’t even looking at the road. Even if you’re hammered enough to have 5% of your normal driving abi

Yeah, that whole expenditure sheet is absolutely insane. $2K mortgage/$1.9K interest? You've gotta be shitting me. I'm sorry but, if you're paying that much for a house (and everything else) that $300K is "paycheck

I quit Reddit for a lot of reasons, but the redesign was the final nail in the coffin for me. Feels like No Country for Old Men over there. I felt like all I was doing was watching loading spinners for the content to come in. Lots of last-m

I've been juggling the idea of switching _back_ to Linux Mint after running Ubuntu on my dev machine for the past year. I used Mint on my main PC a few years back and it was simply terrific - ultra fast and did everything as needed. So

I think the word you're looking for is "personality". Sure half the sites were blinding and had background music and blinking crap and were pretty terrible, but it perfectly reflected the person that built it, however shoddil

This is great. The more places people can choose not to eat meat, the better. Personally I don’t foresee this demographic trying anything new, but for those who never eat meat or fast food and suddenly find ourselves in a pitstop somewhere,

I was unclear about this - yes, if you're prone to worrying about everything trying to kill you, `Stink!` will not make that any better. Quite worse in fact, as (assuming you're like me) I now skim all the ingredient lists on deod

Let's just hope this "gaming as a service" stays on mobile devices where it belongs. Personally I think it's a decent move by Apple to change the perception of the App Store in regards to gaming. I waited in line for the
