The author may not realize (I only know this because my mother worked for the Soviet arcade ministry of sorts in the 80s) is that there was a whole illicit angle to the arcade business. They were all cash-based - which created huge opportun

My initial angry reply had mostly to do with the perception that you were saying 'Saying that men are more interested in sex than women is sexist and should, therefore, be not mentioned'. That is my pet peeve - current climate of

Do you mean I can configure it to show folder size in the column 'Size' (as opposed to clicking on a specific folder to get that information)?

by omonra 11y ago
Yep - exactly. I think a lot of it has to do with the self-perception that as a man with significantly increased wealth, your pool of women who would be interested in you is vastly expanded. But then you realize that the women aren't i

But then again you may spend the cost of a house in some african village when you have a dinner out with friends. Just like a car going at 60mph isn't breaking any speed records - but a human would. It's all relative :)

I'm actually pretty grateful to the editor who compiled them. I don't care for Twitter and would have no way of reading this story otherwise.

Hat's off to you, guys! I search for 'FAR alternative for mac' every 3-4 months (to no avail so far), so very happy to have discovered this. One question - would it be possible to implement live display of folder size? To me

I don't give a shit what you think is sexist. It's a meaningless claptrap that tries to substitute truth for political correctness. I care about facts being true or false. For example here is a page that explains the issue: htt

Your being unhappy with a generalization as being 'sexist' is your own problem. The rest of the world just doesn't care that you feel this way. If you want others to actually listen to your view and not dismiss as meaningless

To be fair, for every Jobs & Bezos you need a thousand middle managers who execute their strategy (and deal with asshole CEO antics).

"'Gender equality' doesn't mean that everyone should be 'the same' but rather that everyone should have equal rights. Am I not getting this?" You're so 10 years behind the ball. Equality now means equ

"This is a dangerous line of thinking. If women are naturally better at certain things, it is not a stretch to imagine that they would be naturally worse at certain things. This could impede our quest to bring about gender equality.&qu

Yes - and the answer to the question "what would happen if those same people mounted a similarly forceful campaign to get Governor Cuomo to clean out and fully fund the MTA" is no effect . That's why his point is stupid - be

The supposition that Uber spent 15bio to lobby NYC to let it operate in the city is nonsensical. Nevermind the alternative that it's not Uber's business to spend money on fixing the L train.

We're getting into the nitty-gritty of he said-she said, leaks, etc. Maybe after a secret proposal is rejected, Israelis can not admit having proposed those things (since in the next round of negotiations, that will be the starting pos

I don't know if the comment to which you are answering is right, but you did not provide any data points to refute what he's saying. You simply said that there is 'high usage' - but it could be just as well along with th

Ok - that's a fair point. Given that palestinians don't really have a functioning democracy, it's hard to say what the actual people 'can do'. However - we can look at opinion polls for ideas. Right now majority of

The war I am referring to is Israel's War of Independence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Arab%E2%80%93Israeli_War - which the arabs lost. Subsequent conflicts are simply an extension of the same one - one sid

No, they lost a war. That's the reason someone accepts terms they don't like. Them being fat just shows that there's clearly enough food to get fat off of.

by omonra 11y ago
Not really. That's called losing a war. In most cases, when a war is lost, one side agrees to the terms they would probably deem unfavorable before the war had started. That's why we say they 'lost' the war.

You might also count the % or # of non-combatant population that was intentionally killed. I also think that if palestinians were really suffering, they would agree to the terms offered to them. Repeatedly. The fact that they keep refusing

I mostly agree with you (99%) except the part about 'Rich bankers robbing poor people'. The bankers devising this are not rich - they are very much middle class MBAs who are struggling to meet ends meet, what with high cost of pro

It sounds to me that the author is simply not a good fit for the job. It would appear that someone who is a graduate student in literature doesn't think that they were put on this earth to serve food to others. Hence he's just pro

You're mixing things up. Parental income can be seen as the result of parental traits that (if passed to the offspring) will help them in life - intelligence & industry. Ie the parents are rich because they are smart and work hard.

At one point half the world was living under socialism - that's a pretty big set. Perhaps other species would have a better way of executing it :)

As someone who actually lived in a socialist country (the one that started the whole socialism business :), take it from me. While the original framework devised by Marx in the 19th century referred to means of production, in actuality the
