Yes! I made the mistake of being nice to the awkward new guy at work and now he shows up out of nowhere, sits next to me at lunch and coffee breaks and makes boring conversation. I'm sorry guy, I get that making friends is hard when you move to a new city for a new job, but I'm not the friend you are looking for. He…

Going to the lengths of letting others walk all over you because they asked.

Yeah, just what this world needs, advice about "not being too nice" to people. Being too nice isn't a thing, but not understanding boundaries is - you can do both. The real fallacy here I think is the concept of "too nice." How would you define that?

This is a preview of so many post-Thanksgiving dinner political "discussions" this week.

Yeah, if it doesn't benefit me in some way, my answer is almost always no. You must look out for your own boundaries or people will screw you eventually.

You mean a case kinda like this one? http://www.adafruit.com/products/1892 :)

lol, totally part of the appeal if you ask me

Kinda makes me think of something more cyberpunk-y. Rogue jacker uses this to wasily navigate her way through some corporate archology to nab some intel for the black market or something vaguely resembling Shadowrun.

'drink what tastes good' is a perfectly rational and acceptable rule to go by.

This, this, this.

Pretty much the only piece of wine advice I try to stick with is to drink what you like. Doesn't matter if it's $6 a bottle or comes from a box. If you like it, drink it.

"AmzonElectronics" is a nice touch. Though Amazon is quick to remove fake listings like that—and you'll never get that $90 PS4 from them—it's still simple to snag a screenshot and bring it to one of the big box stores.

Disagree with the modern world tie in. I always thought they should've just stuck with historical spaces in time. The modern world stuff always was just annoying to me. Only reason I think people miss it is because they've been shoving it down our throats since 2007. But I still remember the annoying punctuation of…

I prefer the 90's designs... man, my old is showing.

Seems like they're becoming less and less human. Maybe in twenty years they'll just look like Greys.

I think you were too busy calling me old to notice that I was responding to someone advocating 9-hour schooldays and evening cram schools. Not so much with the unstructured recreational time.

I think the point is that students have to show the intermediate steps as proof of their understanding of the concepts.

I gladly accept both your concession and your praise. And absolutely, I accept the label of "inflexible" - yes, I do believe all civil liberties do not leave room for "flexibility." One man's inflexible is another woman's principled - really, I take more pity on those who have nothing for which they would stand up…

Hogwash. Sometimes a gun would...... a gun doesn't "do" anything. When you see a house, do you look at it and say "You know, that's a really cool house some hammer built." Guns are tools. People choose whether they save life or take it. Same with knives, cars, drugs, hammers, bats and crack pipes. Why is it you never…

And don't tell me you can't get rid of guns.
