My knee-jerk reaction: So a place that benefits from government guaranteed student loans and ever-higher tuition rates is asking the lowest paid (other than the adjuncts i suppose) to take on the burden of not only providing the education t

if you live in one of the states that allow it, consider looking at CBD oil. my co-worker who describes symptoms like yours and has been taking anxiety medication for years due to a TBI discovered it recently and called it a revelation.

I firmly believe that society puts too much emphasis on the wrong aspect of our lives today. The fact you feel vaguely guilty for not being more driven to achieve at work is a symptom of this imho. You have a family, a job you like, and a

I would not waste time considering something so foolish. Management led, company sponsored meetings are so far removed from what you are talking about that I almost thought you were replying to someone else.

The anti-union marketing campaign is still going strong, so I suspect you are correct. I have been forced to sit in company meetings where they help drive the anti-union message home every time there is the slightest talk about organizing.

You make some good points about a useful papertrail for one's personal use, but I think the hard line here is whether the papertrail is for your benefit or for someone else's. In this case it's pretty clear that it benefits

I'm sorry that happened to you. would you be willing to share more about that experience? apologies if I'm prying too much, but I'm interested in what instincts you felt (and brushed off) and whether you would do something di

>BTC is north of $8000. currently . I hope for the sake of the investors that it stays so, but I have a feeling it will not. (This feeling is not at all informed by my bitterness at not buying in when 1BTC was 20 bucks.)

Anyone got a transcript of the whole piece? I am in the mood to read a poorly argued position on a topic I have strong feelings about and this person's viewpoint will fit the bill nicely. EDIT: Thank you both

sounds like you can still get a lot of value from it, if you know how to use it properly. there's still too much noise to filter (for me) in the news feed from what you say, if half of it is stale memes and stuff. cheers and thanks fo

I get your point, people should be free from abuse. I agree. I am also asking something you cannot answer, namely "why do they need facebook?" Which is not even what they are saying in their letter to Zuck. That being said, you

I just don't get the point of this letter. Why is it so difficult to leave this particular social network? The biggest problem I have with Facebook is how it evolved from a great place for me to keep up with my more distant friends a

Hey, now I've got downvotes too! My opinion is unpopular, and it was just questioning why other people downvoted you, so I retract my previous guess, as it was clearly wrong. It turns out people just don't like things they disag

I can't downvote, but in my mind to engage with this question is to lend it legitimacy. The debate then is unwinnable. See, if we frame our discussion on your terms (Was he a willing conspirator with Russia and Putin or merely a fool)

I don't understand why this would be Mandalay Bay's fault in the first place, how should they be expected to defend against something like this? We can go around and around about who's at fault for this shooting and America&#

While I applaud cynical views in general, since most of the rest of the world has restrictions on the prices of prescription drugs this idea doesn't work in most cases. There is a more cynical view, and you should definitely take it. L

But to call it a ‘pro-black bias’ slightly misses the mark. It is better described as a tacit acknowledgement that modern-day blacks must be seen through the filter of history—not as autonomous individuals living in the present, but as

As a pro-NN person, I'd appreciate a good explanation of the benefits of removing NN that reflects the current reality of the situation. If you could kindly explain to this one-sided thinker why Pai seems like he just does the biddin
