The arrogance is deep: The book repeats "this is true...you have no choice...this is you" and such, but that isn't true at all! The studies, assuming they're trustworthy, prove things about people in general, and the con

It doesn't even sound cool to me. "Felony" is an ugly word, meaning aside.

Ten days per quarter, or forty days per year, in few-day shots at a time. That amounts to a monthly shift, and is just frequent/heavy enough to have a real impact on your personal life. No doubt the "extra" pay (let's be

Cooking doesn't destroy fiber, it just softens it. As opposed to pulp-free fruit juice, from which all fiber is removed, and is unhealthy. Even if tomato sauce were the equivalent of fruit juice, you'd usually have it with pasta,

Comparing calorie-dense food like Oreos to tomato sauce seems a bit disingenuous. Especially when the sugar in tomatoes is regular fructose and provokes no insulin response.

Pardon my lack of familiarity with "the literature" and its standard age groups. Good of you to immediately dismiss the data as "massaged." I couldn't even view your study.

You're free to make your own decision. I'm not about to pack heat every day for some bogeyman. The few times I've felt threatened, it's been trivial to remove myself from the situation. Awareness and caution can go a lon

There's a difference between owning a gun and carrying a Glock 22 at all times. It's sad that people imagine themselves in some action film surrounded by violent criminals out for their blood. I take it that where you live there i

Health-wise? Sure. But you may be less anxious due to the novelty of your new diet and the conviction that it's healthy, reinforced by the trendiness of "paleo" diets. You should be at least a little suspicious of the powerfu

> I agree that there is a linear correlation between carbs and anxiety. That's a rather specific thing to agree about.

No, fear is your invention here. I speak Spanish. It doesn't make these protests any less nonsensical. They want to be able to remain in the country illegally so they can do what exactly? Be Mexican nationalists? There's a great p

And of course your comment was instantly downvoted. This referendum, and the globalist reactions to it, have been a real eye-opener for me at least. I'm not about to vote for a Donald Trump (sorry), but it seriously raises the alarm ab

I forget the exact amount (it's likely changed), but CA is one state that is subsidizing the rest of the country. It was somewhere in the ballpark of $0.20 received for every $1.00 given.

That... isn't how any of this works. The reason you're negotiating in the first place is because each side is holding chips. If the weaker side had to give in to the stronger's every demand, it would not be called negotiation

Agreed, those with hazardous occupations should be disenfranchised.

That's right, you should abuse the hell out of whatever small edge you've got, so that negotiations promptly end.

"pussy", as you used it, is a noun. I don't even know why I'm continuing this idiotic debate, the point is that it's offensive. You can deny that as much as you want, it makes no difference.

Oh lord, you can't even identify the parts of speech correctly. Anyway, those imply that women are cowardly and whiny, and it's sexist. Now you're aware.

What is this, a frat house? "Pussy"? "Bitch"? You do understand that's sexist, right?

Definitely. CA prisons are some of the worst in the nation, which is why the state was ordered to release prisoners to reduce crowding. But Texas has a death penalty with teeth, hard labor, corporal punishment, and equally poor prison con

You're absolutely right. A better example of the former would be somebody building a basic CRUD app but describing it in brutal detail, throwing around as many words that buzz to the speaker as possible (REST, API, Bootstrap, etc.). Of
