A country I live in has a constitution with free speech, freedom of assembly and the press. When someone attempts to use those freedoms, they and their lawyers disappear. It's not worth the paper it's written on.

Per the usual, article conflates standard sex services with sex trafficking. See the Amnesty International position for a more reasonable and balanced position. Maybe it is time for legalized sex work. Or would that threaten too many wom

Saw the same countless times during Internet 1.0. In one case, a small uninspiring Florida bank said they were starting a website. Stock went from 8 to 92 in a day. It's called a bubble folks. Study history lest you get permanently

I was super disappointed about jsonresume.org never getting their pdf issues worked out. So many others have tried (they tried and failed? they tried and died...Dune reference ;-) ). That was about the closest I have ever seen to a stand

Good way to get additional PR for one's products/services. Jump aboard the train already moving. So freaking obvious. What a thought leader.

That's awesome. I am guessing you don't place a chip on your shoulder every morning either, just begging someone to knock it off.

Where are the women game developers creating blockbuster hits for their gender? I am asking in a non-inflammatory way. Same with companies. Break the system and its bonds if it is not serving 50% of the population. Should be tons of opport
