That first photo reminds me of the Gotham Public Works logo from the Batman universe: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L_2Oqwk1Gqs/TcauyYazjaI/AAAAAAAAA... I wonder if it was, perhaps, inspired by this famous photo?

I forgot who it was, but there was a good joke by a comedian on this topic. He was talking about people throwing out that common "we are praying for you" line and he was like "Oh, so you're telling me you're going

If you are referring to DACA - it's not arbitrary and capricious considering this was a hot button election issue and a large number of Americans support this change. If you are referring to net neutrality, Ajit Pai gave months of not

I get what you're saying but I never understood why people make a distinction between doing it in your private life vs doing it on the job. Yes, I understand that it's more intimate and personal, as you mentioned. But why is it

You don't steal a man's baloney. Everyone knows that. I'm curious...why did he steal just the baloney and not the entire sandwich? Common decency dictates that if you steal a man's sandwich you take the entire thing.

Am I the only one who has grown to absolutely despise the term "creative" when used as a type of worker/employee? As in, for example (from the article) "members of the creative class" and "young creative types

Yeah, I understand the logic as well. In the US it was designed to put a major dent into organized crime by seizing what amounts to their working capital. The problem, though, is that it's the easy way out and due process was specifi

This is the appropriate emotional response. Kudos to you. Thanks for not being a tool. I would say, though, that the reason it's a "pretentious wanker" move isn't because they work remotely but instead choose to work

The problem that gets touched upon by the article but never really explicitly stated is simple - these people are using a retail business as their office space. And they are doing so without a contract which guarantees the business owner a

Be careful. EODdata has a lot of data issues. Seriously...a lot. I would recommend checking out Alpha Vantage. It's free and I didn't see any of the issues with their data that I saw with EODdata.
