Of course I've met people like these. They're also douchebags in other ways. And they're a minority of the chronically late.

You miss my point. We can all agree that being late is bad. But why villianize late people as selfish, when in reality, most are just absent minded.

by normloman 11y ago
Chronically late people just have a poor sense of how long things take. They don't intentionally hold up your time to be a jerk. Chill out.

I used to be on twitter. Left because nobody talks with you, just at you. And when you do actually get a conversation going, it's hard to follow when it's thrown in the same chronological time line with other conversations. The ha

Yeah, well you won't believe this. The other day, I found two separate email clients. And both used an envelope as their icon. Wonder who plagiarized who first. In all seriousness though, you're going to see a lot of look-alike de

Do you absolutely need interpersonal bonding? I work in an office, and I don't feel any sort of bond with my coworkers. Work still gets done.

I dunno. Craigslist is pretty successful.

Nothing is immune to criticism just because you have the ability to avoid it.

That would be a good point, if the writer's intention was to create a disjointed slipstream narrative for the readers enjoyment. But it's more likely the writer wanted to tell a straight forward story about lego dongs. Would have

If you get dozens to hundreds of tasks to do in a short period of time, isn't that the root of the problem? I suspect if you get too much email, it's usually because 1. You are the boss and insist on being CCed on everything, 2. Y

"Is it a coincidence that companies who pioneered the open office plan are also some of the most successful in the world?" Yes. If a successful company had their employees sitting in bean bag chairs all day, that wouldn't mea

Add a comment to someone else's Instagram photo: not copyright infringement. Make 90K. Sample one measure of a well known song in a hip hop tune: totally copyright infringement. Get sued for 90k.

Sounds like you live in a fantasy land where everyone acts rationally! How's the weather down there?

Perhaps they were hoping of building that market. It was feasible that through some effort, you could convert enough every day windows users to Linux, based on the lower price, reliability, and low maintenance (no spyware). In retrospect it

Don't listen to the replies. You ain't bitter at all. In what planet does exposing obvious groupthink count as being toxic?

Yes, exactly!

Before we get into a discussion about basic income and drones making us obsolete, can we talk about cutting hours? First, lets get back to the standard 40 hour work week. That'd be a big step. And after that, can some of us work less?

What are they offering you in return? An idea? Anyone can have an idea. Can they secure funding? If they have a shitty idea, and they don't have a network of people who can fund them, forget about these chumps.

Having less unique words doesn't mean anything. I'm sure Hemingway used less unique words than Dickens. Does that make him stupider?

Everyone knows the technique you use influences the final work. If I draft a novel by talking into a tape machine, it's gonna come out different if I wrote it on paper.

No, it wouldn't work as well without them. The swear words are there to wake you up and make you pay attention. Because making simple websites that work should be obvious. But everyone's so distracted by the latest javascript li

Not sure if I'm an expert, but I've been employed as a web designer. I don't mess with bootstrap. It's a great tool for prototyping aplications, which is what it was made for. But few websites are going to use everything

Gasp! A correlation!

Na, they did. It's more about timing. And it takes some luck to get the timing right.

Never said it was men's fault. I said the problem is society's skewed definition of masculinity. It's perpetuated by both men and women. The solution is implied: redefine what it means to be a man.

Men aren't killing themselves because nobody celebrates fathers day. And they're not killing themselves because sitcom dads are morons. They're killing themselves because they feel they have failed the people around them, and

But feminists aren't the ones enforcing a rigid version of masculinity that discourages men from talking about their problems.

Yeah but history is littered with products that failed at shaping the future (Apple Newton, Web TV, Early VR headsets). The black swan part is that few could have predicted the iPhone or the PC would succeed.

I don't think the point has to do with good blogs getting lost in the noise. I think the point is, if every programmer had a blog, how many of them would be any good, and how many would actually get read?

Don't a lot of fantasy prone people already do that? It would explain a lot of fan-fiction and con-worlds. That said, most daydreams have an element of wish fulfillment in them, which wouldn't make for good fiction.
