I'm just saying, the phone says it's from the US, but maybe it was born elsewhere.

Tragedy of the Commons. It was around 2012 when my reactionary boomer relatives started trying to friend me on Facebook, wondering what the kids were all talking about.

Gambling is conventionally considered addictive, but the user isn't ingesting chemicals. I don't think a physical/non-physical binary really stands up under scrutiny. I mean, aren't all addictions physical insofar as the

As someone who is deeply interested in writing, I drew an opposite conclusion after reading the article - these days, when I encounter an old book I like, I like that I can expect to find a lot of information about its publication history.

Thanks for posting this. I knew what Tushonka is from the game Escape from Tarkov, but like other Russian food items in that game, it's presented in a limited, practical context, so it was cool to learn more about it.

What is this assumption based on? It sounds political. Are LGBTQ people at a higher risk for suicide? Could hotline staff reduce suicide attempts with special training? Seems like you could measure this. Thinking about other groups with a h

That we index information related to physical pagination is very plausible to me. Maybe an analogy would be to having to listen to full albums by flipping a record or cassette instead of listening to tracks on a streaming music playlist. I

I've lost the point of dead trees entirely. My disenchantment is the result of moving many times over the years and lugging a once-huge but now dwindled collection of books, along with being able to send library books straight to my e-

I also find the content distasteful, but it kinda tracks with US history as a country run mostly by cavalier bruisers with antipathy to the have-nots both domestic and abroad. They're just not trying to hide it anymore now that corpora

This reminds me of a sports channel I recall from the late 80s on cable TV. Sportsnet? Sportswire? I can't find anything about it online but I remember the music well.

What is a gut cleanse? That sounds destructive. Doing an ambiguous preventive activity on 1 out of 365 days doesn't sound effective.

My dad is 82, and like many in his generation, suffers the curse of the industrious man- he will continue to perform physical feats for which he assumes capability until he injures himself (and possibly others). Driving is just one of these

This is funny if you read it in Batman's voice. And finally, if you can't reach me on Zoom, you flash a beacon in the sky. With a bat on it. This is yet another way of disrespecting my time. Ok, jokes aside, this post resonated wi

The problem is not that people disagree with this, it's that people didn't know about the presence of these chemicals in biosolids until recently.

I don't think parenting sucks. But my parents sucked. And they thought parenting sucks, but they had kids anyway. I don't want to continue the cycle. My wife feels the same way. We're pretty happy, healthy, married for 11 yea

Despite this comment's dubiety, this is a good point. Text communication is only about 8,000 years old IIRC, which is quite recent in human development.

If it's true that lit fic started leaving the best seller lists around the early 70s, could that also be due to people finding other media to express themselves? Like experimental music, film, and other fiction genres?
