>I have no idea how you know what your downvoters think about Tumblr. Because Tumblr is brought up here and on Reddit frequently as this hellhole of idiotic far leftist thought. All I can think is: "have you actually looked at Tumbl

My point about Tumblr is that it's a huge site containing a lot of blogs. Seems like half (or over half) is porn. Most of the other half seems dedicated to rabid fanbases of various bits of pop culture. There's some politics like

Apparently Reddit is leaking. Tumblr: the scapegoat for everything they don't like.

What you want is Space Engine [en.spaceengine.org/]. Also a sandbox. Allows you to fly from star to star, galaxy to galaxy, with billions of planets, nebulae, black holes, clusters, etc. to choose from. As an example: tonight I had a f

You're correct. News and Observer (nando.net I think) was a daily visit for me back in the mid 90's. It was the first one I found which provided a full newspaper without being hidden in a walled garden and without needing monthly

A few years ago I remembered the name of the MUD I played in college. Found it was still online. Couldn't remember my old pw so I created a new character and 'finger'-ed my old character, the one who almost caused me to flunk

And what's wrong with that? As long as the attention-seeking is not hurting anyone, then this is probably a great way to find and meet like-minded people. He's not hurting anyone. If he truly enjoys the Newton, then he's not

I've always thought if the DRM can be easily removed, then it's the same as not having DRM at all. Every purchase I've made from Amazon has the DRM stripped and the files placed in a personal backup. On occasion, I'll se

We were in a crunch to get version 2.0 out. Had the weekly progress meeting with the director. He had received some feedback from our remote sales team and he read one out loud that he thought was particularly funny. And it was, at least at

I think you're on to something huge and important. Some years ago I was working for an educational software company. We sold directly to schools. As expected, we'd get a lot of feedback from teachers using the product. For a while

No one is outraged because Adobe makes money. That's quite a ridiculous assertion. What some people want is pay once and be done with it. Ownership vs. Rental. When a consumer can afford to own but is forced into rental, then there&#x2

When I had a brief interest in Buddhism, I looked into the local zen center. Which had a convenient list of prices. Quite high prices as I remember. The Cards Against Humanity people are selling nothingness at a comparative bargain. Could a

Because Putin doesn't want to see tensions rise and have the situation go out of his control. There's nothing for him to gain by blaming Turkey or be pushed into a direct confrontation with NATO. I mean, he seems to enjoy pushing

Russia's initial reaction was to place the blame on insurgents and not Turkey. Even after Turkey claimed responsibility, Russia essentially said: "Are you sure? We really think it was the rebels. Hint. Hint." [1] So that&#x27

It's not as bad a dilemma as you think. Buy the doritos and buy the fresh food too. You show respect for your employees by respecting their wishes and you show you care about them by offering healthier options.

I'm not sure how you can see "tits or GTFO" as a fair response when so many on 4chan readily identify themselves as male with no consequence. Furthermore, they also frequently identify themselves as straight based on the pict

I can't speak to the public as a whole. But in my circles, there was a lot of interest in the TDI's and similar. With the lower sulfur diesel widely available, there wasn't a perception of VW style diesels being worse than an

That is a huge problem. A better solution would have been an app which takes a url and shows a sketch of triangles or squares which the user can then write out. Such an app could work offline as well.

Very true. There's a lot that legal marriage provides which can't be found in a corporation. The idea is that incorporating would provide some benefits and protections that the poly family wouldn't have otherwise.

I honestly wasn't joking at all. It's something I've thought of off-and-on over the years. I could see how a trust would be better, though, in the US at least, I think a corp / LLC might be more flexible. And here, espec

I've often wondered if polyamorus families could make an end run around the old anti-polygamy laws by creating a corporation. It would give legal protection for shared property and money. Would also provide a mechanism for divorce by a

Every time I see this accusation against 3rd wave feminism, I realize the poster has no idea what 3rd wave feminism is. 2nd wave is the one which frightened insecure men, and had some strong anti porn and anti sex messages from a few propon

If your employees were basically running the shop with little-to-no control from your parents, then it's only natural they would feel a sense of ownership. It's a very human reaction. And when someone much younger takes over and w

With 16 games, an extra 4 snaps per game means 64 extra snaps per season, which is a bit more than playing one extra game. That seems like a noticeable risk increase, season after season, as well as increased wear-and-tear which would possi
