I think it's only possible to disregard the dumb American stereotype if you're from a coastal city. If you've spent any time anywhere else outside of major metropolitan areas in America, you know that there's a very stro

This is pretty simplistic though considering that a lot of TV work can be shot indoors on sound stages and outdoor shots where a recognizably American settings are needed can be shot in the US. There's no reason at all that a show need

Pre-salesforce Slack is probably the most clear example of this in my mind. Still to this day, their API documentation is a lot of fun to read. The Salesforce Behemoth Corporate Machine is slowly eroding the character of Slack, though, sadl

That would be a good trick considering the EU does not own Denmark.

So we can have corporations and shitty billionaires also own the moon? No fucking thanks.

Here in Prague we just call that Czech Culture.

Yep. My boys (11 and 13) have been using public transport here in Prague by themselves since they were 9. It's hard to overstate how good it is for the development of kids to have that sort of trust and independence at such a young age

What could possess them? It's purely kissing the Trump ring. They know a new age of kleptocracy is dawning and they want their slice of it.

No reading needed, just go there. 100% chance you can drive 30 minutes from wherever you live to find a neighborhood that used to be nice that is now in shambles. Go a bit further and you enter into ghost towns and places where the sole inf

The thing is, Russians are deeply uncomfortable with actual democratic openness. Read about the reactions of normal people to watching televised political debates in the 90s. It inspired pure panic, as people had never seen anything but utt
