We're talking victimless , not harmless . With drugs, there is no victim, because the person making the purchase is making a conscious choice to buy something to put into their body. They are well aware of the effects and risks. Cont

Google's way of handling accounts is infuriating. I have multiple g-mail accounts. One of them is my primary personal one, and another one I use is a shared account that my band uses for business and soundcloud. Google makes it hellish

Looking at sales as an indicator of the success of a product is warped and silly. The fact that it is considered the right way is a shining example of the fundamentally flawed nature of our capitalist system. Up until last year when he move

No, shit like this isn't helping. You are talking out of your ass about something you clearly know nothing about. Marijuana is as addictive as potatoes. The fact that you even mention heroin in your post shows you clearly have no idea

I am generally anti-feminist, but I support this. There is a serious lack of women in the tech industry, and it isn't (as some in the slashdot comments suggest) solvable just by encouraging that companies hire more women. Companies can

Nope. At this point, people have either forgotten about Iraq or just come to accept it. The gay marriage issue is a current one. It's a fight that's being fought right now. Protesting someone who is against gay rights has an actua

Those things are very far off from the point. If you buy Purina, you're paying for dog food. If you donate money to a proposition that opposes gay marriage, you are paying for a proposition that opposes gay marriage. I intentionally av

This. Compare it to other things, say for example, musicians. When a band goes on tour, it could be looked at like they're putting in 168 hours a week. Really though, they're doing maybe 8 hours a week of actually playing in front

As a dev who also sings for a cover band, this post so completely describes my life its scary. But, I have a bit of a different philosophy. I think that if you really love something, you'll not only do it for free, but pay to be able t

Its really, really not that bad. I used to get mad about unwanted e-mails too. I used to keep a separate e-mail to sign up for websites because of all the crap they sent me. Turns out, its actually really fucking easy to get around this.

The problem is that you said you're an introvert, and the author explicitly said, in the title, that he is NOT an introvert. Going to the social gathering wasn't the problem. The problem was him excusing himself from that social g

First off, there's no such thing as "teamkilling" because there are no teams. From what I understand, anyone can kill anyone. Second, you start off with no resources. It would be pretty silly to play long enough to get enough

I think the bigger problem with Windows 8 was a broader problem that I saw articulated in a thread on reddit. The thread was about how it seems like next-gen game companies seem to treat releases like they are beta releases. Many of the gam
