Change my view: Verb forms of "graduate" which have a direct object should be followed by "from" unless they're referring to the act of calibration. "Jimmy graduated from college." Not "Jimmy gradua

Man, I sure wish someone would screw me over with a high-six-figure cash bonus like they did those founders. Being poor is having no idea what that reality might seem like.

Both Qi chargers that I have make it very clear if charging is happening. The "just plonk it down" problem is human, not technical. I'm sure you're most likely underestimating your wife's ability to learn what is, i

If the answer is not "zero" then the answer is "too much."

Bigger question: Why bring race up at all, then? Class has demonstrably larger effect. The 1% are very disproportionately represented in the Ivy League, too.

Perhaps even that they believe that they have nothing to hide is, itself, a result of a disinformation campaign.

It's indeed possible that there's insight there, but with phrasing like "bottomless well of need" there's also an obvious disdain for humanity which seems likely due to having never been seriously ill, scared or suf

For what it's worth, I believe the author is a woman. Interestingly, and anecdotally, I've noticed that auto-immune diseases such as the author's Crohn's, and my wife's Fibromyalgia/vasculitis seem to affect

How does “doubled profits” indicate any losses to carry forward? Aren’t profit and loss mutually exclusive?

Sounds like something 4chan would advocate.

Sounds a lot like Trickle Down Economics, which has been disproven time and again. Also: if amazon’s profit is double what it was last year, shouldn’t that profit be taxed? If they never pay taxes and continue exploiting labor, aren’t t

100.0000% the latter.

Sure, but how does that benefit the people of the U.S.?

I don't understand your reasoning here. I've given amazon money for products and/or services, and I've paid my share of taxes on those transactions. It's not like they've ensured my roads are safe, my food is s

I agree, with one slight correction: "...than Amazon's money does."

Just for interesting discussion: What kind of reasonable activity would you suggest would fairly negate a corporation's tax obligation? I.e. What can corporations do with their money—instead of giving it to the government—that would be

This brought back memories of tuning in WWV as a young ham in the early 90's. Well done!

My point, that you seem to have missed, is that sometimes what may objectively be the "best" long-term decisions are quite often not "worth it" short-term. Acting on feelings is usually good for the mental health, even

Human beings have these things called "feelings". Sometimes they make sub-optimal or irrational decisions based on—and in service of—those feelings. If you set your end of our bridge on fire, I'm nuking my end from orbit. Why

I find that avoiding ads isn't avoiding wanting to pay for a product. It's avoiding wanting to be a product. If my attention has value, then I get to determine what that value is. It's a sad state to be where corporations w
