It’s funny how shallow the understanding of everyday believers in religions frequently are. Whenever I read about historical Christian schisms especially really early ones during the Roman Empire, it occurs to me how so few of the modern fa

I think technically they would still have to honor the warranty on anything not directly effected by wire you cut, but you would probably have to fight them on it. Just like how warranty void if removed stickers are a lie under: https:&#x2

But why? They would have to allow these same “Certain People” in their lobby from 7am until 9pm when their most affluent patrons are probably coming in for lunch, after soccer practice, etc. At the drive through there is barely any interact

Well I guess we can all be happy they didn’t literally ignite the atmosphere like some of the physicists worried they might. There was a commissioned study during the Manhattan Project called “Ignition of the Atmosphere With Nuclear Bombs&q

This is that digital natives fallacy again. Being familiar with the latest tiktok trends is as important as being up to date on the latest Jersey Shore was 15 years ago; which is to say not important at all really. These kids are consumers

Macarthy was disgraced by 1954, and almost universally reviled for the lives he ruined with his slander. I think you can point to him as an example of what happens when demagogues go unopposed (even for a time) in the American system, but n

It’s hard for people to appreciate just how much better our lives are, and how much more just life is in western society now than all of the millions of years of human life before. 200 years ago some people were literal property, 150 years

If it’s a business, it certainly makes me less interested in using their product or service. Honeywell’s site has this problem and now I associate their brand with annoyance at trying to navigate dead links to technical documentation. I end

All the tut-tutting makes searching harder for other users too! You end up with relevant and active looking threads that are actually just regulars dunking on the poster for not searching.

I’ve also seen plenty of career helpers, but they’re almost always screw-ups, unambitious, or both. After all half of the population is sub 100 IQ, and some otherwise smart people just like slamming beers, chasing tail, and showing up hungo

That's less true in union work or licensed trades; but of course lots of trades are only licensed in specific localities or the licensing is loosely enforced. There definitely is a emphasis in the U.S. on college being the "correc

Not only that but if you’re paying a mortgage you’re not paying rent. Buying means your housing cost is now an investment (minus interest, tax, and upkeep) rather than just an expense. Now it could well be a terrible investment, but in theo
