We could try taxing the rich a bit more. They're doing just fine.

It's how one might say "premium as fuck" in a casual context.

I believe the people those terms affect that they hurt them and subtly reinforce bias. That doesn't feel unimportant to me. What's unimportant is using antiquated, hurtful terms when it would be easy to simply not do that.

You mean, did the thing they were assumed to be have value all that time? Yes. But then it was discovered that they were not that thing.

Just like how your partner isn't cheating on you if you never find out? Seems like a silly view.

Is it fair to call an action which materially supported oppression of people "personal"? The goal of that action was to deny people the right to marry.

Maybe. We don't know what they're doing at their desks or away from the office, because they don't get surveiled like the plebs. Any manager who feels the need to peek over the shoulders of their workers should submit to the

Yeah, because professional museum curators and art restoration teams are well known to just shake their heads at safely moving large exhibits, baffled at the prospect. C'mon.

iOS supports content blockers. Why not install AdGuard? I use default Safari on my iPhone and see zero ads.

You're claiming that 1/2 to 1/3 of employees are criminally stealing time or product from their workplace. I need some robust citations for that, because it's ridiculous on its face.

Terrorism is always wrong and always hurts the causes it attempts to advance. Thus, even when committed for a good cause it's counterproductive. If Kaczynski had good ideas, he did them a terrible disservice by resorting to terrorism.

I'd advise you not use the example of removing a watermark. It makes it seem like you're advertising the app to be used for circumventing photographers' copyright/attribution.

The competition is the niche retailers that have always been there. They focus on one or a few related areas, and do them well. Outdoor gear is always genuine from REI or Backcountry. Spices are always fresh from The Spice House or Penzey&#

It's a stereotype with a grain of truth. In general, European tourists seem to be more accomplished or more enthusiastic hikers. You come across a lot of German-speaking people. But also Scandinavian and various others. Like all stereo

That they don't chase free users is an advantage to those of us who pay. For about $50 per year, I get rock solid, feature-rich email as well as fast support from real people who are informed and empowered. It's not for everyone,

I was responding to the description of the new CEO as losing his temper to a degree that his shouting can be heard on the entire floor. Which I don't view as appropriate.

Yikes. It's 2020, and emotional abuse (which is absolutely what shouting at people you hold power over is) is not even a little acceptable. When you're an adult, you control your temper.

The knock-on effects of homelessness cost society far more than free housing would. The number of homeless is not massive, and effective, high-density housing is not expensive on a governmental scale. To say nothing of the moral imperative

The Besties is now Spotify exclusive. It's my favorite video game podcast. The fact that half of its hosts are Justin and Griffin McElroy makes me worried the whole McElroy family of podcasts might flip eventually.

I'm very enthusiastic about traveling by rail, yes! I have a relative near the end of her life who has been enjoying its comfort and accessibility to make final visits to our dispersed family, all while enjoying the natural beauty of t

That's only technically true. We don't usually think of "severance pay" as being enough to live in luxury, without working, for the rest of your life and provide enough inheritance for your offspring to be significantly

Congratulations on being able-bodied. I have arthritis and literally cannot fly anymore because I can't afford tickets with enough leg room to not be in crippling pain for the entire flight. I've had to miss important family event
