The Court is NOT on Dr. Luke’s “side.” The Judge merely applied the law to the facts. As an attorney one of the hardest things to deal with are bad facts. They are what they are and we do our best to construe them most favorably to our clients but ultimately Judges have no discretion to choose a “side” they like. It’s…

I paid 18 bucks for taco bell last week

Another vote for Google Wallet, which doesn’t even receive an honorable mention. Free to use, free to transfer, add multiple bank accounts to transfer in and out of, and sending money to someone is instant (and can be instantly used via their Google Wallet card). To me, all of these combined beats anything…

i’m exaggerating a bit but, for me, that ‘process’ looked a bit like this!

I would like to know more.

The ‘out of control of their bodies’ thing really got me too. If you are at Yale, “falling out” is the wrong way to react to a meeting. If you can’t keep yourself from dissolving into a blubbering, flailing heap in front of someone you want to persuade right now, what are you going to do after school? Are you going to…

The Ivy League is supposed to prepare them for a life in the halls of power and influence. That they cannot get through a simple civil meeting without mentally breaking down does not speak well of their future prospects—not just in Yale, but in the boardroom and the courtroom. The people they run across after they…

“....on November 5, in a fancy boardroom at Woodbridge Hall, ... about 50 students sat around a big round table, crying for four hours.”

Yep. That letter basically boiled down to, “These students are adults in the eyes of the law. They can figure some stuff out on their own.”

Did anyone actually read the Yale professors response to the halloween costume letter?

OR

For me, it’s both. I moved to a big city because I wanted to disappear and hoped that being able to reinvent myself would help. It did for a while, but 20 years of fighting to survive in the rat race has taken a lot out of me, and now I just want to go live in the woods. Fuck designer handbags and shoes, to hell with…

Or you could just multiply your hourly rate by 2080, as that’s the amount of hours total from a 40 hour work week over the course of a year. Do the opposite, divide your salary by 2080, if you want to see what your hourly rate is.

15% might have been the norm in 1975. If you've been dining out this century I really hope you've been tipping 20%.

Right? I thought the writing was pretty terrible and his personality was so one-dimensional.

I have not seen the movie yet, but expect to like it more. Mark Watney is one of the most i r r i t a t i n g characters I’ve ever read. I hated his ‘tude, I hated how he spoke (I never laughed once while reading that thing), and didn’t care whether or not he’d be saved.

Counterpoint: that book sucked.
