So... what did you think of? I can't think of any industries that would directly benefit from people drinking less.

If you don't think that people having sex in public should be ashamed, why did you bring it up?

I licked pussy. Since you're asking. I'm perfectly okay with others knowing that. Why do you want to shame me for that?

I firmly disagree. Hiding things is a hack; the actual solution is to change society such that exposure entails no significant consequences. Sure, as a band-aid to make existing real people feel secure? Hiding things and keeping them hidden

It's a noble attempt at compromise, but at that point, you're not talking about UBI anymore. The entire point of UBI is a rejection of the notion that a person must contribute before they have permission to live. It's a state

> And what are those benefits, exactly? The fundamental offering that diversity brings to a society is plurality of opinion. This presents us with a mildly interesting paradox: a segregated society has no use for plural opinion, but a hi

Dammit. I thought I had been careful enough to get the correct number. Alright. Picking the simplest formula off Wikipedia, cosine of 85 degrees is ~0.0871557 times a (6378137m) times pi is ~1746383.9m for the circumference. That's s

That's true for large chunks, but I'd imagine 3 meters is small enough to remain useful well past the 85 degrees latitude mark. Straight Dope informs me that the circumference up there is approximately 24k miles, which becomes 38,

Oh dear, no. Legislature is the business people. The executive is the developers. The judiciary is the test team. That's how it's designed in the Constitution. The "original intent" of the judiciary was to be the guys wa

In America, there's no longer much legitimacy placed in legislation; we generally look to the judiciary for any actual governing thought these days. Legislation is mostly seen as a stepping stone; it's not until it's been tes

It's a meaningless buzzword clickbait. You can't denigrate "list thinking" and provide a 10-point list as your response and expect to be taken seriously. The actual point Lambert seems to be making is, "Recognize th

I don't want to turn this into a sales pitch for GW2, but GW2 pretty explicitly rewards you for exploration. Following the quest chain through an area (to the extent that there is one; the chain is slightly orthogonal) only reveals an

I got interested in Clojure because I felt I needed to learn something LISPy. Similarly, I got interested in Elixir because I felt I needed to learn Erlang. I have yet to have any kind of similar motivation for Scala. These are not good rea
