Your point of view seems to imply that the author's skill and intent don't matter, which I can't agree with. The reason that a reader's effort gets more out of a great work is because the author put it there, not because

I find it funny when people say it's not on Carlsen when it was entirely his decision to not compete. We already have rapid and blitz world championships that are separate. This is the classical world championship and I think the forma

That's a very privileged attitude. Certainly someone already wealthy will not get much more happiness from gaining more wealth, but for many Americans a few thousand dollars could be a life-changing amount of money.

It's not the proportion of the population that is wealthy that matters, it's what proportion of the total wealth that they have. From the article, "In 2022, the wealthiest 1 percent held a quarter of the net personal wealth i

Perhaps I'm oversimplifying things, but I have personally always assumed that using "Medieval" to describe D&D was almost entirely a reflection of the (non-magical) level of technology, and not anything societal or cultur

I'm curious about your experience with older men not playing video games? I'm in my mid-thirties and I would say that the overwhelming majority of my male friends and co-workers play video games recreationally. Video games are mor

Based on the distinctions from the OP, I'd say Democrat since that's how I usually vote, but I live in a very Republican state.

I find it interesting that the study is only about print and TV news, since I get about 90% of my news from my state's public radio channel. I'd say that I have an extremely high confidence in both NPR and my state's local st

What's funny here are that the example issues you listed are exactly the issues that the vast majority of Americans actually do agree on. Those are wedge issues that were carefully crafted by political parties to try and create a divis

The user experience with Libby is so much better than any other audiobook service I have tried. The app is nice looking and responsive, but also minimal. Bonus points because using their website provides the exact same UI and UX as the app.

This is why things like 2-year vocational schools are so great! They tend to focus on competency-based outcomes, where "tests" usually involve demonstrating a skill in a simulated environment. Though I will definitely admit that t
