What a terrible "rule." It doesn't even make sense - an instantaneous read on your purchase size vs. your savings amount is irrelevant.

I wouldn't do any of this, but not because of any moral reason... just because I would hate my life if I spent 8 hours a day fiddling around and wasting time. Seems like a soul-crushing way to spend your entire work week.

So... if I scribbled with Sharpie all over the Mona Lisa, or tore up the original Declaration of Independence, neither of those things would warrant prison time? Just a fine for vandalism?

The lack of male birth control options drives me crazy.

OH yes, that's DEFINITELY what we NEED. An INTERNET that HAS no anonymity AT all. I can't SEE any problem WITH that - no SIR.

I aggressively turn off notifications for many of the apps I have installed. It seems like every app wants to ding and beep and vibrate its way into the forefront.

I've had the video issue on my Nexus 7.
