Seriously. I used to enjoy Star Wars, Breaking Bad, LOTR, ping pong, etc. After working in this industry a few years I'm thoroughly sick of all of them. At this point, for me personally, nerd culture in general can go fuck itself. It&#

I don't see why people who hate their jobs, which means they probably aren't very effective at them, should have to work. What if everyone applying a job is someone who actually wants to and is able to do that job? That would make

The state subsidies are still there, what has changed is the cost of attendance. Universities are willingly complicit in overselling the benefits and downplaying the cost of higher education to teenagers for whom other options might be more

I'm confused, which are you saying is compatible? According to the article the former clearly is, but I don't imagine Mozilla's HR puts up with misogyny either.

Sure, sexism is a thing. So is racism, homophobia, and in some places anti-semitism is still going strong. Etc. Etc. Humans aren't very good at treating one another fairly. What do you want me to do, just agree with you? OK, agreed. So

This wouldn't be as much of an issue if more companies embraced working remotely.

>if you have to pay for room and board As opposed to what, living on the street and eating rats? Room and board is a sunk cost regardless of whether you're going to school.

Work their way through college, as in paying all their books and tuition without assistance? No they don't.

Nope, your assumption that Indians need us to save them is the racist bit.

I care about other Americans more than I care about Indians, and I don't see anything wrong with that. Let Indians worry about improving their lot. We need to get over this White Man's Burden bullshit. It's condescending, pat

Between uncompressed and 320? Maybe not. Between 320 and 128? Yes absolutely.

I worked at Walmart when I was in college because they paid the highest wage in town. No joke, every other offer I received was minimum wage. It's not glorious, and it would definitely suck as a a career, but at the time it was the bes

IDK, she's talking about hundreds of vile personal messages. Sounds like more than one a$$hat to me. And I can't help but notice that as a man I don't get this kind of abuse at all. Literally 0 rape threats. I think when this

You don't get to date every person you become infatuated with. Grow up, then go fall in love with someone who is not dating your best friend, fool.

None of these activities, as you've phrased them, are particularly expensive. Doing them the way OP phrased them, i.e. the most expensive way possible, is what I think is meant by stupid consumerism.

Beats are not high-end headphones, they are high-end fashion accessories. The hardware used is beside the point.

How is creating unnecessary jobs a better idea? Even with the public works projects of the New Deal era, there were still a lot more unskilled workers than there was work to be done. That didn't change until WWII, and we definitely don

Obviously, defaulting on debt is immoral, unethical, unmanly, whatever you want to call it. But that doesn't matter and it's useless to talk about it that way. The reality is that lots of students are taking on way more debt than

This is going to sound evil, but I don't really understand the point of cancer charities. I thought the reason why medical care costs so much was because of all the R&D that goes into it. It seems ridiculous that with all the money

There's a bill of rights and a system of checks and balances that protects me from the government. None of those things exist with private companies, not even in theory.

If by "helping" you mean giving money to people directly on the street, absolutely not. I can't afford to give a dollar to everyone, so on what basis do I decide on whom to bestow my generosity? There is no fair way for me to
