I don't see how it's relevant at all. OP just explained what they did. Not to gloat but to explain their situation. What does it matter to you that they got help doing it? I have 44k to invest if I really believed in something and

The takeaway is that rights, recognized or granted, are feeble concepts in the face of a frightened public.

And yet all it takes is a terrorist attack to change all that. I think OP didn’t mean to discuss the philosophical difference between grant and recognize though. Just that for each individual right, recognized or granted, we take a step awa

Would you be open to having a video chat about these things? I have a distant appreciation but not a full grasp of many things you mentioned and would love some insights.

Having just read the top article on AirBnB, the first tip I see is this: > Oh, calling me by my first name! > That's a good way to make Airbnb feel friendlier than other hotel booking apps. Good GOD. Am I just too cynical or are

I think this is a great idea but I echo the critique that a single page isn’t enough. How about if one were to be able to set their own pace? Many blog sites have those “5minute read” things that naively just count the words or lines and ma
