I have to say that I agree 100%. Those people have no excuse- I worked a ton of bullshit jobs and I saved every penny until I was finally able to buy my first City Supervisor. Did I rest on my laurels? No, sir. Before long I had a circuit judge- I didn’t even consider myself a success until I purchased my first…

Which is stupid, because now he and his company have no official line of dialogue with the new administration that, like or or not, will be running the country for the next 4 years. Being a member of this council wasn’t an endorsement, it was a way to allow the leaders of Silicon Valley to contribute their ideas to…

One of these days William will post a full article on the first try, and it’s going to be glorious!

Its goddamn terrible. 2 hours bored out of my skull for a twist that idiotic M Night Shaylaman would be proud of.

To be honest, the screen adaptation of “Story of your life” is neither brilliant nor any more inventive than the original. In fact, Mr. Heisser made it more hollywoody, which means vulgar.

Why are people saying I’m supposed to like this movie? My take is that this is a movie that dumb people watch so they can consider themselves smart.

The source is a royal mess, is the problem.

I have no idea what this article is trying to say.

Glad I’m not the only one baffled by this example. Was really hoping for help dealing with a few people.

Also applies well to dealing with children. Our middle one is going through a “my brother is mean to me so I have the right to do anything want (to anyone) or take anything I want” phase... getting mad or trying to persuade him how unreasonable that is definitely doesn’t help. Hard not to do though...

I’m confused by this too.

Reading the source material confused me even more.

I find direct confrontation stops these things on their tracks. Nobody wants to write crappy passive aggressive notes to you if you end up in front of them with the note in hand. I don’t care if they think I’m an asshole, I just think if you are going to write a passive aggressive screed for the entire work place to…

I thought the exact same thing. This is article is difficult, almost impossible, to understand. The example is unrealistic and doesn’t illuminate the point

Yeah. VFX artist here. Again.

Calling the oilsands the “tar sands” is lazy, biased journalism. As user Joe_Limon noted, oil pipelines already criss-cross the country. Alberta has been implementing stringent carbon policies, the oilsands are mostly using steam-assisted gravity drainage rather than the open pit operations of the early days, and…

Well, he back-tracked because he’s a lying bastard who was in hostile territory. Inconsistent messaging delivered by a good actor to a gullible audience.

Oil and gas pipelines already in place.

No patching? That is the real Android problem.
