I don't know about what I need, but I guess I've decided there's no way in hell I'm paying for more than one. I feel like each little fiefdom demanding its little tribute is going to hurt them all in the long run, or at

Nobody is paid exactly what they're worth, because what would be the point? The company can break even like that by not hiring anybody.

It all depends on what you want out of life. If you want to stay in one area and go as far as possible, yes I would follow this advice. You'll probably be more "successful" overall. But I was never that type of person; I&#x27

Yes - you have to OWN the dorkiness!

The helmets don't help. Without those... still dorky? Not sure. Less so, at least, but does the dorkiness decrease enough to pass under the threshold of ultimate dorkiness? Dorky is such a razor-edge. Basically it means you're doi

No, a paraphrase bears a burden of being better than the original in some way, otherwise just link to the original. Brevity is usually the default improvement being sought, but ideally there would also be honesty, or maybe even, dare we hop

Other than school, which is sort of an anomaly, I find that the only thing that prepares you to do something is actually doing it. So the corollary is, you're never actually prepared for anything ahead of time. Don't worry about i

Kind of the epitome of bike-sheddding. Way too much importance attached to this on both sides. Want to do something good for your eyes and battery? Turn off the computer and go get an outdoor job like forestry. Yeah I didn't think so.

Great, they made it tuition-free, accredited, and online; now take it all the way and get rid of the idiotic hoop-jumping of the admissions process! Edit: I know nothing about their admissions process, only that they have one . Somebody&#x

I'm not saying it's bad; there are good & bad aspects of everything. I don't even know if something can "be bad" or can "be good." Everything is both. It's the dual nature of reality. The tao symb

I don't get the reference. Worry less about "vibes," I guess would be my advice. And consider that if someone says "brown cows eat grass" they're not trying to describe the entire universe; they're actuall

Of all the people who got all excited that the internet would "democratize information," most seemed to be thinking on the demand side. And it did come to pass, but very few seem to have anticipated that it would democratize the s

I graduated into the early 90s recession. It shaped my outlook in various ways. Took about 10 years to finally get into a respectable job, and then 9/11 killed that. Another half-decade of underperformance, another tenuous success, the

"We have work to do" in the last paragraph is exactly what he's said in every public apology for this or that.

I mean, it's even simpler than all this. Talking about the money is what complicates it. "I don't like what this company does, so I don't want to be part of it." Pretty simple. Either "...I don't want to b

I like how this article and lots of people's tweets mention '2020.' As if 2021 is going to be any better and things won't just remain permanently horrible! Have a nice day!

Not to mention beautiful. I'm betting they trained it on that "celebrities" dataset.

Good point, and yet I'm wary of anyone declaring that every time before now has always looked like now. Because first of all that's what everyone from now would naturally tend to think, since they don't truly know anything el

I would've thought we'd at least be "over" the auto-tune thing by now, but it's more popular than ever!

Yep, e.g. la porte en arrière = the back door. Handy that the English word has "rear" right there in it. And in case this comment doesn't sound snickery/sexual enough yet, there's also derrière (butt or rear end

My usual self-torturing thought about numbers like these is "Just give me 0.006% of that" [one of those 17,700 millions] "and I wouldn't have to worry about anything forever." A million invested in safe boring thing
