Do you have any income? If I was in your shoes I'd probably buy myself 1 nice thing (a small vacation or a new piece of furniture/electronics or something) and I'd split the rest between investing and having an emergency fund

Cup made a subtle statement about a certain political persuasion, and I asked if that political persuasion was offensive. Not sure if I understand your issue with my response which tried to get at the root of his statement.

> Calling a company with a head of diversity bloated for instance is telling of your politics. So is it offensive to subscribe to MLK's general idea of judging people not on the color of their skin, but on the content of their chara

Wait, there's actually a position called "Head of Diversity"?

gt565k gave a great, succinct answer that I think is correct. There's a lot of ways to do it, and I think it just depends on the type of product you have and your overall strategy. Some brands have different accounts divided by region:

a) The government has already illustrated through Flint and other incidents that they are very capable of completely screwing water up as well. And when things go wrong, unlike in the private sector nobody seems to ever get punished in any

a) You're sort of sidetracking here by making a statement about public goods theory and simply declaring that the internet is one. I respect your right to your belief, but you haven't really made a case why the internet is one her

To be fair these are very complex issues involving not only understanding technology and the complex industry rules and practices, complex government legislation at federal and local levels, but also economic incentive. But I believe that t

Loving beaches is great, but the reasoning expressed in the article seems kind of weird to me. There are plenty of low income families who probably can't easily afford to go to a beach, but at the same time there's also plenty who

a) For what it's worth, the The_Donald subreddit doesn't brigade and the moderators do a lot of work to ensure that they're complying with Reddit rules. b) Having backups and an alternate hosting service is always very good a

Hey, it's completely cool if people want to peacefully protest the actions of the government and speak out about what they think are wrongdoings. The more eyes watching them back and keeping a close tab on their activities, the better.

Isn't this a temporary moratorium that's supposed to last 90 days while they get better "extreme vetting" procedures in place? I'd never suggest trusting the government or not watching what they're doing very c

Besides this post, it looks like other posts that are getting to some of the real symptoms of Wikipedia's issues are getting down voted. When you take a lot of flak, you know you're over the target...

Not a huge fan of this. The editors on Wikipedia wield a large amount of power in shaping the site. When they go and make arbitrary decisions about the content on the site, and users start calling out the editors for bias and bogus decision

I'm confused by the 72% of women saying that the man should pay. I thought we were all about equality nowadays!?! Or is it only all about equality when it comes to getting good things?

To be fair there's no proof of a crime thus far: just a large pile of circumstantial evidence (creepy instagram pics and comments, many awkwardly worded emails about pizza and hot dogs and kids in pools being entertainment, and many ot

I think your opinion is about half-way right. To be clear, Putin isn't a great guy and Russia is very far from perfect. But they're not out to completely screw over the entire world right now like the warmongers in power in the US

There are different types of "fake news". When the establishment is talking about "fake news", I don't think they truly give one tiny hoot about a clickbait site that invents an entirely fake story out of thin air.

a) This isn't a fake news detector: at the moment, it seems to be little more than an overly complicated spreadsheet builder that's hosted on Github. Maybe someday it will be more. b) The spreadsheet is just one man's opinion
