This is one of the biggest reasons I greatly prefer public transportation in cities. I feel stressed knowing there's a 100% chance someone on a bike is going to actively zoom out of nowhere right in front of me and pretend they're

I really have to wonder where this outweighs the effects of the extra CO2 added to the atmosphere (article says it increases fuel usage by 2%, but that's likely to be an ideal case) in the long term. CO2's problems aren't mer

A lot of people agree that life is shit in the west as well. The problem is if you don't align with the politics of the person you're conversing with when you say that, they'll get pissed and claim you hate their country and

That's something I've definitely worried about and seen some people mention in reviews around India. I mostly try to identify the voice of the comment writer. If they're from America but talking in odd English with a 10/

I'm currently planning a trip to India. I've been to several countries around the world and never worried about reviews too much, but India really seems to align with this story. I'll see hotels with countless 5 star reviews

Socially, nobody would care. Apparently China even grants marriage visas for same-sex couples, although locally it's not really possible to get married yet. But the vast majority of countries still have legal opposition to it so China

In China, you might be disappointed to find that people would just shrug in response to you announcing that. Absolutely nobody cares. You'd get far less reaction than you would in some southern states or small towns in the US.

You can hate the politics and foreign policy or various degrees of brutality in all of those countries, but implying Russia and China are as bad as North Korea is a little extreme. Doubly so when you imply any positive opinion is just contr

Your third paragraph is no different from how it was when Moby Dick was published. And really, there's plenty of experimentation in modern literature. While it's a bit old now, House of Leaves was very different from anything else

East Asia and parts of Europe have quite a few people who are entirely apathetic towards religion. Drug addicts aren't out and open in those regions. I've really only witnessed such open drug abuse in countries with strong Christi

One advantage of glass is that it's infinitely recyclable. Wood+epoxy is probably a nightmare to recycle and will just end up in dumps and further contributing to the microplastic problem our world faces. Maybe it's fine. Maybe in

That's a pretty incredible amount, because there was a point where there were indie bundles making headlines every week and World of Goo was featured in every single bundle imaginable. I feel like every person who played games 15 years

And by spending money on bigger, expensive cars and bigger, expensive amenities... they end up with less money to spend on travel. Plus there's the fact Americans need to spend more on flights and spend more time to visit Asia or Europ

Disposable income is income minus taxes. That money drops fast when you factor in America's extremely high rent, the fact most Americans need a car+insurance+gas, many pay for their own health care, and other various fees. Plus people

I have no clue why you're angry and arguing against a point I didn't make. Settle down. The Sega Genesis and SNES had completely different libraries, but both had massive third party support. The N64 and onward has had basically l

20 people is just a start. I expect it to ramp up and effectively lock out indie developers. This alone would've prevented stuff like Flappy Bird from ever being published.

People always chime in with this and it's weird. It's just scaring people and making them think exercise is more dangerous than being sedentary (it isn't). Have some common sense and don't jump into something that hurts
