Did you miss or just ignore where I agree with you that our government is a massive joke? That doesn't mean that I don't want a real, functional government that operates for the good of its citizenry, or that we don't live in

Isn't it wonderful that we allow almost entirely unregulated monopolies that have no actual obligation to provide the service for which they take your money? Telecoms, airlines, insurance scam..ahem companies... Must be nice. I wonder

Thank you. The modern usage of corporate structure as a complete get-out-of-consequences card, combined with the fact that every politician is just a warm body filling a suit at which corporations throw money to rubber stamp regulations...w

I await more of the story campaign with bated breath. I'm adoring it, though the last episode felt a tad rushed, or flat maybe. To me, at least.

I'll go one further, though I expect to receive mockery for doing so: I think the internet as we conceive of it today is ultimately a failed experiment. I think that society and humanity would be better off if the internet had remained

Unless it's a Logitech headset, in which case 90% of the time the functionality of the mic-arm-mute breaks at the software level requiring various troubleshooting dances before anyone can hear you again. How they can be such a leader i

That's exactly where my mind went as I read the article. All of this money and effort just to continue to prosecute a meaningless and harmful "drug war." At this point, countries are literally spending money to prevent themse

I don't get how people can let Facebook take up so much of their life/time that they have to delete it or stop using it to "get their life back." I find it ridiculous. I use Facebook basically for two purposes. Sharing a
