Trying to paint a critique of Instagram's effects on tourism as a lame re-hash of an old idea seems a bit off. Sure, it might be the same complaint, but if the severity is 100x worse it holds more weight. And if Instagram is the main

The connection is that they are both tourist attractions that were negatively impacted by photography during my visits. Regarding the Sistine Chapel - you're right, photography is not allowed and I overrepresented the flashes when grou

I started listening to vinyl a few years ago and bought some albums I've listened to dozens (if not hundreds of times) on digital. Horn sections I didn't even know existed showed up on tracks; instruments were so crisp and distin

It's wrong to say that the outcome we've arrived at is necessarily the one we wanted. Local/initial conditions, availability and options, and a whole mess of other things make it so that's not necessarily true at all.

I just look for any excuse to post something from the Sopranos that might be even slightly relevant. I don't know enough about this lady to make any judgement's regarding her financial decisions.

I think the stack switching is probably what leads a lot of older folks to force their stack on folks. I used to see it as inflexible but I'm starting to think it's just economical.

The problem here is that she is holding one group's (Women's) behavior to the standard of a workplace created by another group (Men).

If you google around there are government agencies and websites set up for all types of spamming/scamming. I got some scam phone calls awhile back and reported them; it could be a coincidence, but I stopped getting them. Here's a

OK well when people need to do martial arts to get to work then we can talk. And btw in that world, speeders would be the people who swing unsafely fast while practicing with common folk.

Anyone who is proud of speeding should come hang out and I'll throw punches near your head just out of range. It's cool I have it under control; it will bring me some pleasure and you will only be at risk if you get in my way or

"No one ever changed their opinion on account of being subjected to a lynch mob or encountering a glass ceiling imposed as a result of it." That's the most unfactual thing I've heard in a long time.

No, I think rent control is generally a bad idea. The only solution I can think of is building more housing.

When an entire class of a city are being priced out of their homes it's a bit fickle to say a smashed window and a 100 angry protestors makes you think they deserve no respect. "Sorry, but they've reduced themselves to common

I think it's a common misconception and negative stereotype that things like Ulysses or Bebop are difficult. They're just an experience. Calling them difficult would be like calling Yosemite difficult (and lamenting that you don

I was referring to the act of turning the lights off...the big empty. No doubt some things that precede and result in death are nasty, but those aren't death. For example, if death was embraced and voluntary euthanasia was allowed, p

Don't let your babies die, but really try not to have them if you can't afford them. I never said people's poor decisions made them poor, I'm saying they can help get out of poverty by making good ones. And if you have k

No. Poor people cut out non-essentials, be more efficient, and save money. A lack of nice things now will help later. Buy cheaper clothes, stop smoking, stop drinking, eat out less, don't have a fancy car...etc. Don't live beyo

For starters: when we talk about "the market" here originally we're talking about mutual funds + etfs. Now back to the point. When I say average Joe I was probably understating things - I'm talking about your rational,
