I get how diversity can facilitate problem solving in the context of practical, day-to-day, qualitative dilemmas. But with respect to software development, I really don’t see what cultural background has to do with writing efficient and scalable code. Of course, there are many divisions of tech companies outside of…

yeah, this is bad.

The 90s were okay, but I really like the older stuff. Townes Van Zandt is my favorite, but I would argue some of his stuff is more folk than country. As to your point, everything today sounds pretty much the same. There was a good mashup on Gawker last year that made this point:

Matt Besser is fucking hilarious. What night is it on?

Do they still do that free show once a week where the SNL peeps show up. I went to one 10 years ago. It was Amy and Matt Walsh plus Horatio, Seth Myers, Jason Sudekis, Rob Huebel, Rob Riggle, and more. Also the Comedy Central show was really good.

I’m not a big fast food guy, but I’ve got a major soft spot for Chick Fil A. I couldn’t care less about their politics, as long as they keep the chicken nuggets cooking.

No, I think it was intended to be the possessive, unless I’m misreading it.

Breakin 2 is a trip.

yes, you don’t know any better.

I started seeing the pants periodically last year, but yeah, now I’m seeing them everywhere. They are the most god-awful piece of fashion ever invented. Crop-tops on the other hand are, well, the tops. I don’t see what they have to do with feminism, but I’m a man, and it wouldn’t be the first time I misunderstood…

Based on your spelling of ‘forever’, I believe you were born in the 90’s.

I thought I read somewhere it could have been evolutionary advantage at some point.

He’s got the fate of Gawker in his jeans, I mean, hands.

What is happening? In addition to the crop-top phenomenon, I’m also noticing the return of those weird patterned pants from the early nineties.

I took a course in college called Strongmen and Populism in Latin America and Spain. Trujillo was covered extensively.
