I'm not sure what that has to do with the price of tea in China. I hope that you got your frustrations off your chest about internet commenters.

Why not "Spot a weak argument by evaluating it on its merits"?

I use a brush and shaving soap, and wholeheartedly recommend using those with your multi-blade razor.

Pima cotton is American, grown in the Pima desert (around Phoenix). Honestly, I don't think I could tell the difference between that and Egyptian cotton aside from marketing.

Yes. As far as Valve is concerned, you're great. The Steambox isn't supposed to be some sort of profit center in itself, it's a delivery mechanism for Steam content (i.e., the store).

Sadly? "Personability" matters. Get used to it.

I don't think that there was any guarantee of 100% success, but that's not an excuse. If you're not the one making an effort to do your part to improve the company (department/store/etc) culture, then don't whine about how management never notices you or promotes everyone else.

What, do you only have a finite amount of caring that you can perform in any given day?

I work in a research lab, and I still get weekends off. If you're talking about grad school, then, yeah, everyone is fucking each other, but I assure you that's treading on thin ice. Where do you think I witnessed/experienced most of the negative consequences of that? :p

Honestly, what's the best-case scenario here? If you're at some minimum-wage turnover factory, then by all means, follow this guide. If you're in a job that you plan on keeping for a little while, then I'd emphatically recommend that you look elsewhere.

"My other rule - it's OK to feel hungry."

How would you be creating better habits regarding your impulsive shopping if you're just waiting to buy groceries when you're closer to zero? Sounds like you'd just do your impulsive shopping elsewhere and end up with crappy groceries.

Whatever happened to "Spend less on groceries by using a budget"?

Okay, fine. What was your argument, exactly?

I think that reading the dozen-plus posts that you've made on this topic may actually help me to gauge your morals on this topic, yes.

How can you know something and not acknowledge it? That seems like a leap. Thinking something shouldn't be illegal is hardly the same is refusing to acknowledge that it is, in fact illegal. As to me not knowing what your morals are, the fact that you can't understand the difference between someone who lights up a bowl…

Well, okay, I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.

So, then your position is that since perceptions of drug users can be inaccurate, it's up to people moralizing on the internet to assist strangers through their choices?

I think we may have taken different things away from the article. Being good at your job doesn't mean that you'd be good at managing people in your job. Leadership isn't about hard work, and it's not about positive attitude (though those are clearly helpful), it's about leading people. Not only subordinates, but also…

Ultimately, if you want to advance, you need to make your superiors look good. From your desk, you know what you're doing, why you're doing it, and how it helps the company (hopefully, at least). But to management, and especially those one or two degrees removed from you, you're a resource that's performing one of a…
