Seriously. As in, like "wow". Right from the very first sentence -- absolutely deranged.

They flat out lie during the negotiation process. You get asked to sit in a room for a "couple of minutes". Ends up being more like 30. You get there, the people you're supposed to talk to "aren't available",

My left-leaning family is terrified that Trump is building a literal army to blitzkrieg through the country, Which is perfectly understandable, given that he did, in fact, incite a literal army to blitzkrieg through the Capitol.

Because the article dealt with a serious academic analysis of the subject, not just some blogger's speculation. And as the events of Jan 6 showed, very clearly -- the issue at hand is far from abstract.

The "most reasonable" interpretation to go with, in my book, is by what was actually said -- not what the guy might have said, had he thought about the matter through a bit more. That's how I do these things. You can do what

Whether the actual word "primary" was used or not irrelevant. It was a fair enough characterization of what he was saying. He didn’t say that GMOs are the best response, just that “he wants to [end world hunger] with them.” Loo

2 weeks (as in 10 non-holiday days) is pretty normal in the US, even if you get more. But still pitiful and anti-health, on first principles. "Normal" though it may be in a workaholic and ideology-driven country like the U.S. I

Absolutely -- but it's best to put the matter front and center by saying "I've been learning Python, here's a little side project I did" so you don't get slammed with LC tests or Jeopardy-style phone screens.

I think you're being a bit too charitable -- to the point of spinning his overall message to something different from what he plainly said. Of course he wasn't saying they should be our "only" solutions to these problems

It’s like, what do you call someone who’s absolutely terrified about global warming, and who thinks the best response would’ve been (and actually, still is) a historic surge in nuclear energy, possibly with geoengineering to tide us over?

Throw away individually identifiable piece of evidence instead of calling the police, ok I wouldn't consider it particularly wise to assume the police will automatically be your friend, in this situation. Ask yourself who may have p

Exactly. One meaningless definition attempts to justify its existence by referencing another.

The situations are far from identical, of course. But I don't think the age-based "grief differential" means quite what you think it means to the families and loved ones of those who have been lost.

They could if the government and NIMBY neighbors would get out of the way. I think you know perfectly well they won't (vote tomorrow to repeal all zoning), so we're already in the territory of wishful thinking. And in any case

I see reports of 1300+ people dying horrible, excruciating deaths by suffocation due to the virus daily (in the U.S.) and don't even slow down. Instead I move on to the next clickbait / eye candy. At least I now have some idea of

Let them be the ones to terminate the relationship. Disagree - in general you never want to be expressly terminated. Layoffs are a different matter, of course. But an explicit "for cause" termination is always a red flag to an

You have two options: (1) quit or (2) "renegotiate the relationship", as the saying goes. Specifically, it's perfectly reasonable for you to say "OK -- if you're willing to provide me with a dedicated laptop".
