Thank you for this reply. I do agree that euphemism creep is a thing. My position is just that his skit on this particular topic seemed very anti-intellectual. It's the same kind of bogus logic used when people who say "just get

Not all war PTSD is caused from "shells". So to use his logic, unless your flashbacks and hyper awareness (oops those are newfangled psychological terms, guess they have to be dumbed down right?) are caused by the use of mortar

That's not far from "dumb it down". If science has proven a link between all forms of trauma such as accidents or rape, then its worth reflecting that in the name. His skit was a slap in the face to psychology that is activ

There are definitely health risks. Look at all the bottles that have the "BPA-free" disclaimer on them.

The merchant doesn't need "the system or fraud checks" to sell lattes. Furthermore they get hit with chargebacks, which are a feature offered by the CC, not the coffee shop. You're justying why business A shoulders bu

That was the first thing I asked the barista once I became a regular and tipped Them: do you actually get these tips? She reassured me they did. What bothers me is the ACH networks still get their cut of the tip (assuming they get a perce

All colleges are "for profit" when their athletic coach and mid-level bureaucrat salaries start at several hundred thousand dollars but most classes are taught by grad students earning < 20/hr. Where do you think that mo

What's silly is to ever allow an institution to take 10% or more of your earnings. Unless they're doing 10% of the work for you, they're not entitled to any claim to the earnings. All that does is perpetuate the gatekeeper f

I'm skeptical that that many of them are getting into the ocean. I wonder if it would be more effective to put a UUID on them and tell the public that if one of these is found in the ocean a full investigation will be launched. Not jus

I can "feel" the lag in the android experience and it's the same lag that I get from desktop apps written in java. It's not just FUD. Almost always when there's a memory-bloated application it's written in java

What about all the delays from the use of java? Even if your audio app is in c++ for performance, it's still competing for resources with many other java apps easily using gigabytes of ram just idling. I don't see any way to miti
