annoying I could understand but "really disgusting"? what is it that bothers you so much?

Most rappers write all their own lyrics, but there are definitely exceptions. Kanye West, for instance, semi-openly writes collaboratively with others[0]. It is also widely known that former labelmate Consequence wrote the first verse of

Distinctions between the terms is nearly entirely academic, and most people just make up their own. Practically speaking, the terms are identical. PS I think I noticed Beastie Boys lyrics in one of the crypto challenges. Did you put those

Interestingly, just yesterday Evan Spiegel (CEO of Snapchat) posted a screenshot of his e-mail introduction to Mark Zuckerberg (who is strongly rumored to have offered 4 billion for the company). The screenshot is here: https://p

I don't have any data, but from everything I've observed the "sexting" aspect of Snapchat is wildly overblown. Most people just use it for goofy little communication between friends. I guess people keep bring it up beca

Those people have just as much a right to feel placated by airport security as you do to feel terrorized by it.
