Y'know, I know that's not what he's doing, but somehow, I got it in my mind that the guy in the photo's miming cunnilingus, and now I can't unsee it.

"it makes ir very hard to believe by your well edited, one sided arguments that show no knowledge of foreign business practices, foreign culture, the emotions of other people, or proper workplace etiquette."

"Even if I could overlook Schwarz's lack of empathy towards suicide and problematic generalizations on mental illnesses (it's obvious he knows nothing about either, or he wouldn't have made those idiotic comments)"

I've hit the new Slim's eject button by leaning against the console before. Twice. While reaching for a window behind it.

I've seen white babies with spinal muscular atrophy that were not as lame as this commentator.

I didn't say what I did out of anger. I said it because I was upset. I'm sick of seeing people giving in to bullying and developing feelings of entitlement - to compensation, a steady job, treatment for mental illness or maybe even simple compassion from others - when they could be so much stronger than that (or at…

They also lack creativity, substituting Powerpoint presentations and empty, soulless pep talk for real innovation. The only difference is that they have more connections. A whole lot of those jerks got their positions and $100k a…

You know what? I hate to play devil's advocate when it's clear that she's gone through a lot of hardship and stressful situations over this, but maybe her bosses were right. I've known people like her. People who can't really create anything new or contribute anything of worth, so they sit down in meetings and come up…

One man's externally-imposed self-control is another man's tyranny.
