I'm not sure the qualification "medical grade" exists for therapy. You go if you feel like you need to go. You would see a psychiatrist for medicine-based solutions to your perceived or physical ailments. Another aspect is th

That is an incredibly pedantic statement. They chose not to pay the cost that the owners charged them. Netflix is an equal actor.

Why hours watched? Because Netflix wants as much of your time as you're willing to give. The more ingrained they are in your life, the less elastic your demand. We've seen them raise prices and remove just about all of the worthwh

"Mentorship" and "impressive team members" are other choices, so yea. Maybe not "get rich," but certainly "get paid more and have a more impressive title."

"It is those other rich people's fault." While the specifics of what you wrote are certainly true, it's the capitalists that are the problem. It is a class of people. High earners, for example executives of corporations,

The article won't load, but I have a hot take anyways: Why the hell are you complaining? If your bosses want to provide a chill spot where you get to hang with your friends while you are underutilized, why not just enjoy it? Also worki

I remember when I was a kid riding in my car with my mom. I would pretend we were racing other cars. It was a completely meaningless endeavor, of course. It was great, because any car behind us was losing, and every car that passed us, in m

That's why there are various categories for the speedruns. I just checked speedrun.com and there are 13 categories for Super Mario World, one of the games most famous for a jump to credits glitch. 23 people have scores for "0 exit

Well, it's already been ruled to be an official governmental communication tool, so you're wrong there. From a practical perspective, it is the only way the administration addresses the public since they block any honest journalis

I'm reading Middlemarch, a well-regarded novel about life in 1820s-30s England. What has stood out is how things are basically no different than they are now. This is not a technology or advancement issue, it is about our society'

The quotation gives "The Gig Economy" active voice. The author is saying those who enacted the economic model had the intention of creating those well paying jobs. They obviously never had any intention like that. That statement i

I think we should think about it more as the economic gain being experienced when people don't have these things to distract them.

Thank you! There are a few large sections in blue text. I'm not sure if you did that intentionally and I am missing the reasoning. Thought you'd like to know.

The budget and format of the series required this kind of concentration of information in the form of the single scientist and the "villains." Anybody with 10th grade reading comprehension can see these as literary devices. I walk

This is obvious. Start your app on Digital Ocean or Heroku, and when it becomes a viable business get that shit on a grown up platform.

Billions are "wasted" on startups in every industry. That's the point. The rich guys gamble and some of their gambles pay off. Most of them fail.

I would go further and state that our entire economy and society are based on the manufacturing of demand. There are so few things we actually need. Food, water, clothing, shelter. Everything else is a luxury you've been convinced to b
