What is "Extra Money?" I'm doing my best not to drown in debt. I've calculated it, and I can retire when I'm 142.

If I made $125k a year, that'd be almost double my current salary. I could spare the $25k, then, if you were struggling. Could you do the same in the reverse situation?

Well, then every privileged person who gets in is "hurting" someone of lesser inherent opportunity. They can use that privilege to spread their applications around to increase their opportunities.

How is giving underprivileged people a leg up "punishing" anyone? Privileged people need to start recognizing their inherent pre-rigging of the system. For those in power, equality feels like oppression.

Those with less privilege are getting a smidge closer to an even starting point, and your idea is to get more conservative? What if your family had the choice to move wherever without sacrificing opportunity? This isn't about penaliz

Every single company that collects, stores and uses any personally identifiable information should be deterred from abusing their privilege of doing so.

It's an ongoing reminder that the Silicon Valley point of view isn't the only—or best—one. I grew up dirt poor in the Deep South. My wife is diabetic. People need the perspective. If that's flamebait, maybe I'm not the o

Do you honestly believe conservatives want an open, honest, inclusive dialogue in which both sides of all issues are considered with respect for every viewpoint? Their "gotta get mine before anyone else gets theirs" attitudes and

The "problem" with your #2 is that only one side wants that. The other side fears losing their privilege/capital/power/reputation and cares not a whit for those they consider sub-human. Putting some foxes into the h

Teen Vogue has actually been doing some of the best hard-hitting journalism for the last few years. I'm not even close to ashamed of consuming their content.

Just curious: Why do you write "GIT" in all-caps when it's not an acronym or initialism?

Pro-tip for an easier work-around the next time you hit a "hump": http://pi.hole/admin/ and use the "Disable for 30 seconds" option. :)

Meanwhile, capitalism is wholly predicated on unfairness, where the "haves" exploit the "have nots" to get as much for themselves as they can. Why does a woman getting "credited unfairly" strike a nerve when it
