I have watched all four seasons seven times. This show is so good I don't recommend it to my friends because I'm not sure I could handle it if they didn't like it as much as myself. If you haven't seen the show, watch se

I would add that you are missing a major component for why mental hospitals went away-- public opinion changed. The public was made aware of abuses and such abuses were also dramatized in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. There was pressure

In 2019 my New Years Resolution was to avoid all news and social media. The reason I started the ban was because I found my mind unsettled after reading the news and I had trouble coming back to a tranquil headspace. The inspiration is thi

As a visitor to the Bay Area for the last 30 years, the biggest change I have seen occur is, by far, the proliferation of tent camps and strung-out homeless. I have been to 30 countries including North Korea and most of the Stans-- and the

Twitter talked past the sale. If they had just said 'We banned this account.' we all would have moved on. Instead they justified it with some very, very weak and flimsy interpretation of his last posts. I am no Trump supporter a

I've always preferred to give very serious candidates some technical homework. Make an API that does this particular thing. You have two days. Then we look at what they built and talk about it. It's way more realistic because

In all of the EFF's writing they make it sound like the police are tapping into Ring cameras and snooping without owner being aware. In ALL scenarios they have written about, it's been users pushing their content to the police.

A delightful moral dilemma: There is concern that the vaccine stops you from developing Covid symptoms but not from becoming asymptomatic. If it turns out that the vaccines do not prevent you from being asymptomatic (you can still spread

Twice a year an active ICBM is picked at random from the mid-west, the nuclear warhead is removed, and the rocket is taken to VAFB where it is launched at Kwaj. The entire purpose of this very common event is to make sure that ICBM's

I want to highlight that in the comments so far, every-time someone mentions what it takes to avoid obesity or how they themselves are responsible for their own obesity a large group of people come out and explain how obesity is unavoidable

Do we all really believe that Bannon was actually, literally saying he would be-head these people and put their heads on spikes...or as adults do we realize he was using hyperbole? How many times have you said something along the lines of &

Fellow readers: Do not be afraid of a colonoscopy. Do not avoid it-- in fact, look forward to it. They are easy and painless. Waking up from the anesthesia I felt more relaxed than I ever have in my life. Also, the prep of clearing you

The only people I know who are in a union hate the union. It effectively only seems to keep people in jobs that are terrible employees and would otherwise be fired. I know the intention of a union is much more noble, but effectively this

Is it too much to expect that TechCrunch should prove in their article that the phone is still on 4G when it says it's on 5G? They are declaring a conspiracy, it's their job to provide evidence. I feel like not providing any evi

As an example for #2, when I got an Android somehow I was either automatically opted in or accidentally opted into location sharing. Two years later I found that Google Maps could show me every location I had been to for the last 2 years.

Is there any documentation on what feels like paid applause at Apple product reveals? It always feels like there are a ton of employees in the front rows who are told to gasp and cheer for really benign feature demos.
