You are correct, but that’s not exactly what I am getting at. I don’t think that we should try and regulate the value of a thing. Values are subjective and so to regulate a value would require regulating perception. This would be horrible if not impossible. I will say though that in your example, my opinion on a…

It may be that one human working in finite time and space could “earn” a lot of money. What do you think the limit is though?

The amount of work you can do is finite, so the amount of money (or whatever) you can “earn” must also be finite. What do you think the limit is?

Based on his apparently intelligence, I think we’ll be fine.

Would you move to a country ruled by an autocrat who uses slave labor to build soccer arenas?

You’re not a failure, kids see all kindsa crap. Luckily for them Elmo isn’t the only thing in their life (thanks to you!).

I sort of wonder if Elmo’s behavior could be something you can discuss with kids. Like you as a parent could disagree with Elmo’s behavior and kids could learn that there are multiple perspectives…

Thank you for writing this, it’s been on my mind for ages.

I’ve thought that the reason Elmo was given such prominence was to compete with Dora. There is of course, a very effective method to get very young kids to watch a show. All you have to do really is show bright colors and silly humor and have “attention…

WIN.

Ugh, cheerleading, it’s the worst.

Mizzou Student here, why don’t they just fire him because he’s incompetent? Forget the protests, this guy is terribly ineffective at representing MU in this time of crisis.

A kid at my school did this, and while our teachers were not all that great, they didn’t require a cop on campus to handle children.

One kid played this same act the teacher just dragged the chair out into the hall and left the kid out there.

When I see someone rave about a G2 I think “This is the first pen other than a bic they’ve ever used. They have no idea how much better it gets.”

I think most people who like G2’s just like rollerballs which use gel ink. The G2 is globby, the ink dries slowly and tend to smear and is not water resistant at all.

I used to be a big G2 guy until I tried other pens and realized you can have thick black lines without needing globby pens which often clog and smear.

So he ate pop-tarts and got a haircut? Oscar time!

Seriously though, I love actors who aren’t afraid to look ugly.

This is probably a bad idea, I don’t think we’re ready for this quite yet. I kinda do wish dating/sex apps had a way to rate people though, even if you could only give good ratings. Sometimes you like someone and think they are awesome, but don’t get serious for other reasons, it would be nice to be able to give them…

The whole reporting from the locker room thing has always been weird to me. When I was a kid it seems increibly gay (and incredibly hot, since I was gay) and I just couldn’t wrap my head around the hetero-male concept that “No, this isn’t sexual at all.” It’s so clearly there to show you this “grunt-masculine” side of…

Why would anyone want to touch it?

There are lots of industry regulations which are intended to increase consumer safety. Car seatbelts and airbags have to be designed to certain standards, home appliances do as well. Since we live in an information age, shouldn’t there be computer security standards that web-services have to abide by too?

There are a…

Amazon is so wrong-headed on this. They have this odd desperation for being a hardware company, when they should just stick with what they know: selling everything to everyone.

Their phones suck because they are not designed to serve me, they are designed to serve Amazon. Also the idea that someone this late to the…
