The basic rules of working for a cheap boss are:
- Working harder will not get you paid any more
- If you do something once, it becomes part of your job description forever
- If you work too hard, they’ll fire someone else and give you their responsibilities too, without increasing your pay.

Making an effort is a sucker’s…

I don’t agree with you about cinnamon, but I starred your comment anyway just for the delivery, especially the image.

Although Obama knew perfectly well what it was for, as did we all, and he was just too polite/diplomatic to say it: it was for not being W.

Way too much cinnamon has been the defining flaw in every bad apple pie I’ve had.

Wasn’t MIT supposed to be all up in the place about education? What the hell do they do with all that money? Yes MIT president L. Rafael Reif should resign. MIT’s media lab rests, knowingly, on the shoulders of a serial blackmailer pedophile. That’s about what we can expect from the educational industrial complex.…

Nah, the fine print says they extend the Lifetime offer to the first 50 people who sign up and express an interest in it.

Fuck payday loan grifters. No one should give this asshole a single cent.

I don’t know... with all the crazy anti-science rhetoric and lies becoming so widespread and commonplace (people drinking bleach and others not taking vaccines). Maybe we need folks like Neil to talk more not less.

I’d kinda prefer you take your own advice instead of attacking one of the few people in the world with a platform, who’s actually trying to educate and make people smarter so maybe this sad dystopia we’re heading for can be averted.

Hard disagree. This country is woefully uninformed about science, and that leads to the anti-vaccination movement and climate change denials, among many other problems. NDT is obviously being pedantic with this, but it draws attention to being informed and accurate about representation of physics principles.

Counterpoint: NDT has taught me many things, and Jack Crosbie has not enriched my life in literally any conceivable way.

Jeez, we’re descending into fascism and the trains still don’t run on time.

Not true! Some of us Dutchbags are not tall, while the rest of the family is. Having Dutchies make fun of you for being short is annoying, but I’m used to it. My younger brother is 6'2", while I am not even close to 6'.

As a native human I realize that Mexican food is from MEXICO and not fucking Texas. What passes for Mexican food in most of Texas has a little to do with the north central part of Mexico and pretty much ignores the many different styles and cultures that are abundant in the enormous rest of Mexico.
