The best interview I've heard with him was on The Duncan Trussell Family Hour[1]. I haven't heard the Sam Harris interview but I could see it being frustrating. I think Peterson is at his best when he can speak in — and about — me

Their terrible popovers (namely the Dunkin Donuts one) break scrolling on the page and make viewing the content impossible. Well done.

Maybe she had a little crush on you at the time, so her memory of you holds more weight in her mind than your memory of her does in yours.

The dark web solves most of those issues, but comes with a few new ones of its own. That said, I genuinely think it's a viable source if you're in the market.

What editor theme are you using? (Not "color_scheme", but "theme" in the settings.) The only time I've ever experienced something like you're describing, it was due to some bad math in a 3rd party theme.

Isn't the obvious conclusion that one could say the exact same thing to you? Just because it doesn't fit your model of practicality...

While I don't think that you're advocating the same type of "help" that a colonialist would, you must be able to see the irony in calling someone a colonialist while also saying the exact same thing that all colonialists

"Machine Elves" was coined by Terence McKenna to describe the beings in the DMT world. He didn't do much LSD and wasn't a big fan of it. Maybe others have had different experiences but at the very least the origins of th

That would be a hugely useful metric for a host, but it actually is difficult to see how a user has rated their past hosts. The only method I know of is: view the user profile and look at their reviews, go to each host who reviewed them, se

It's tempting as a host to reject people of a certain type, but the line that I draw isn't on race, gender or religion — it's age. I've come to find out that older folks — somewhere around 50+ — have been the worst possi

Do you feel this way about all mind-altering substances, or is it a function of ubiquity? Where do you draw the line? I actually agree with you in theory: I think most people should try most things. I think my line, though, is a function of

If you're using an editor to automatically pair your parens/brackets/braces/quotes, you now have to find and navigate to the end of the expression, which could be lines away if you're creating objects and arrays, or

I think that it's not meant to replace those. It's meant to replace the act of passing your phone around in person — say, around a dinner table — in order to show photos to the people you're with.

His newest album is an example of this as well. Ghostface has had a cult following but limited wide appeal. Death Grips gained a cult following in the past 1.5 years, and much of Yeezus sounds like a bad Death Grips album. Claiming that sou

The problem with leaving a gap is that, as soon as it's a few car-lengths long, people in the adjacent lane(s) notice that there's a gap and quickly cut into your lane to fill it, because it moves them a car-length or two forward.

It opens with "all of your duly elected officials have been aware of this program for years and have consistently voted to maintain it." Yes, that makes it so much better.

To be fair, the majority of YEA's come from Republicans, who control the House, and the majority of NAY's come from Democrats, who control the Senate. This has already died in the Senate once, so I wouldn't be surprised if that happens agai

Wouldn't it be a little strange for the network creating the show (HBO) to air it after some other network? The author says Sky could have aired it at 10pm in England, but this is hours before HBO would air it in the US. You could maybe m
