The editorializing on “smoking is bad” is moot—we all know it and it’s not the point.

I realize that but I was following that author’s other posts and they just seem into restricting the rights of everyone to prevent disorderly conduct. So where does it stop?? It was a “throwaway” so I suppose I shouldn’t expect actual disco

It was front page shit for two days, sorry. I think others explained it well enough but I still insist that it was perfectly relevant. I can only assume that this is a 3rd rail of sorts for “Western” types who seem to be 100% anti-Iran late

Why don’t we just ban drinking altogether then? And while we’re at it, if you’re irritated about something perhaps just keep it to yourself. Society doesn’t have time for discontent or deviation from the norm. Good lord.

Sir you owe me a new pince nez because mine just shot across the room.

I can still see the Iran flag in all of its unaltered glory here in the US. I guess they missed the memo?

Sure, that's "old-fashioned" as a friend once told me (who was a Rhodes scholar.) At the two universities I've attended, the B.S. in physics required more rigor and the B.A. offered more breadth and didn't require a

Sorry but if you put 10% of your net worth into BlockFi you didn't fully understand the risks. I feel bad for anyone who lost money (a few grand here) but this was all akin to a trip to the casino for me and my expectations were set ac

That is strange and interesting as it seems counter-intuitive since a B.A. in say, physics, is less rigorous than a B.S. from a pure physics/mathematics standpoint.

That's antisocial behavior as we've all learned recently. If you don't eat the fake meat, you'll just spread your clear love for animal cruelty to those around you, even if that's just conjecture. Anyway, snark asid

I used to adore spicy food and about 4/5 Thai spicy was my jam. But sometime in my late-20s my body decided it didn't like it anymore and now if I so much as smell a pathetic jalapeño I have to run to the bathroom. I can eat a cou

I remember vividly when Flamin' Hot Cheetos came out (where I lived) and the ruckus they caused at my middle school. We inexplicably had vending machines full of junk food in the main lobby and kids would line up to empty the machines

Toy Commander owned. Don't forget Crazy Taxi while we're getting nostalgic.

Yup.

Yep it's 100% then. I lost my "entrepreneurial spirit" after being burned more than once by management that wanted me to work my ass off for just a salary and the promise of something nice someday. Granted I got mine in the e

I still am not reading the NYT piece but the original Denver7 piece which lists these infractions: - Driving with a broken taillight - Not wearing a seatbelt - Driving with minor damage to a bumper - Driving with a registration that has bee

I don't know and I'm not participating in this conversation further because of your stealth edit for the NYT piece. Also you're making what I perceive to be a bad-faith argument which was reinforced by your altering your orig

Aside from the seatbelt infraction, which of these violations have anything to do with an increase in highway fatalities? Are you suggesting something along the lines of the broken windows theory of deviance?

I did a lot of ketogenic diets when I was younger in an attempt to shed all of the weight that comes with being raised in Appalachia. It was my experience that it was a great kickstart to a weight-loss plan for someone who was at rock-botto

You need all of that math to understand the topics, then you can apply them to real life. FWIW you can probably be a decent design engineer with an industrial engineering degree plus some thermo, circuits, dynamics and a lil CS... I see mor

Hey I used to agree with you but then I realized that I'm smart, industrious, and not ugly which puts me just miles ahead of the average person, which is still the middle-of-the-pack. Actual dumb people still need to be fed, housed, an

How do you define "public failure"? My definition would be entirely contingent upon the intentions of the new owner since it's his to do with what he pleases. If said owner is well into middle age and bored, but has more mone

I dunno (nor care) about the quality of a Gucci handbag but the Porsche is actually a high-end car, so while there very much is “status” associated, at least you’re getting something cool/fun as hell at the same time.

I've been a successful dev for a decade now but I was a mech E / CS dropout. I loathe CS for many reasons and saw the writing on the wall for my degree-less ass, so I went back for industrial engineering. 3 semesters to go and lov

I agree with this. GIMP is powerful and a fine piece of software but it truly needs an enlightened UX despot to come in and clean house.

The weather is mild and predictable for large portions of the year. Good seafood, killer Asian cuisine, and Union Square has an AG store for your quality pant needs. What more could one want?

You're about to get downvoted to hell but I'll add in that I love when big, fat, ugly White people think sees a Black person that may have their shit otherwise together and go "wow they really need my help and compassion.&quo

The Swiss government seems to be one of the few exceptions to "taxation is theft" because everyone seems pretty happy with where their tax dollars go. Must be nice.

No you dipshit I reject your premise.
