I don't know why you're downvoted. My 4 year old niece cries all the time if she thinks it will help her get her way. The crying stops on a dime as soon as she realizes it isn't working.

Not in this case. To some women, all 'creepy' men are potential rapists and now, thanks to the media, potential terrorists too. Do you really think women are going to 'feel safe' in their working environment if there is

Thank you for replying! I'm glad to hear you're still around. I was always impressed with your work.

Be attractive. Don't be unattractive. Your job now depends on it. Unless you work 100% remote and don't use video chat.

Does anybody know what happened to Windy Apple Technologies? They promised the lowest latency microwave connection from NY to Chicago, then promptly disappeared...

Sweden is undergoing a huge surge in violent crime, especially grenade attacks and rapes. The media can't report most of it because they're being perpetrated by migrants. Any media (social and mainstream) that's critical of m

Tell me the difference between stupid and illegal and I'll have my wife's brother arrested. Seriously though, libel and slander cases in the US are ridiculously hard to prove because you have to prove intent.

All media is bought and paid for PR. The only question is who's paying for it and why. That's not necessarily a bad thing, either. It's just the way it is.

Could you elaborate on that?

The only time I've ever been "depressed" was when I was also addicted to high reward behaviors. I know these high reward behaviors are linked to both depression and a lack of short and long term memory. It sounds like high re

I'm also a drummer. Rhythm is not the same as the awareness of the passage of time. How are you with the passage of time throughout a day? Do you know when it's morning or afternoon without having to look at a clock? Do you know w

In short, time awareness and spatial awareness are linked. Does that mean if you increase your spatial reasoning skills, you could increase the accuracy of your perception of time? I ask because my spatial reasoning skills suck and so does

Wouldn't a tablet be a better interface for that style of reading? e-ink doesn't have the best of refresh rates.

Intermittent fasting causes an increase of catecholamines in the blood. It increases mental clarity and energy. If you want to time it, the beginning of the most active catecholamine stage starts at 12 hours. So, if you stop eating at 8pm,
