Which is a massive sense in which it is not simple! For any non-native speakers, (I'm a native English speaker), tones were nearly impossible to master, and I still have a terrible grasp of them I think. It requires a complete rewiring

How are they making this news? News is simply news - there are no opinions here. Click on the business section of Reuters, this isn't even a headline.

And even with that focus on the story, we get 12 hours in the extended editions, much of it expanding on the characters and their backstories as they relate to the world in which the story takes place. It's hard to have pages and pages

Weightlifting's been the only constant of my life the last 3 years, becoming the first thing I do in a day 6 to 7 times a week. I can't recommend it enough as a habit that can draw you out of the deepest recesses of your mind. Not

This is something I've felt quite viscerally since graduating college, that my educational days are over. They're all I've ever known and it's quite bizarre to suddenly be in a whole different phase of life. I've co

I didn't say consuming meat products made by the modern factory farming system/methodology makes anyone a Nazi. I'm saying that consuming those products means you're consuming the products made by a system that actively

Why is it hyperbole? We slaughter 25 million animals a day in the United States. That amounts to over 9 billion animals a year. Do you attribute 0 consciousness to those animals, a complete and total unawareness of their suffering? Almost e

Almost every one in America has the "luxury" of examining food ethics, when 95% of people in this country actively consume a product made through what amounts to a holocaust. Of course we all are part of some systemic oppression o

Malcolm Gladwell has a great piece about how all the information needed to piece together Enron's fraud was always available in public records. Worth a read. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007/01/08&
