I’m sure this comment won’t see the light of day, because they never do when they refute the author, but you’re very wrong about the abuse being proven. And that’s the whole point of the trial. Media likes to accuse without proof. Someone said it happened. Must be so. Take it to the f’in presses!

I agree, so long as you’re talking to people who don’t have disposable income. Living is much, much more important than saving, paying off debts, and buying a house. All of that can come later. If you aren’t taking care of your basic needs though, it won’t matter how well you’ve managed your finances, because you’ll…

I love the book, Steal Like An Artist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steal_Like_an_Artist). Ironically you have to pay for the book unless you can find a way to steal it. Kleon makes a good argument that there is no “unique” content out there. We all build on each other’s pre-existing content. That said, I do hold the…

Nicole, thank you for this list. I’ve been looking for something that answers the question “What all do I need to consider?”, and unfortunately for the slew of “get started” resources I’ve found, none have taken the time to answer this question. Perhaps this is why so many startups fail.

Thank you. I got mine yesterday and I don’t appreciate that it pushed my trash pile up just high enough that I had to take the trash out.

I returned mine after only one use.

Agreed. Six months is way too soon for someone to lose interest in sex, for any reason to include being into a different hobby. It sounds like the problem isn’t that he’s interested in something else. It sounds like he’s not interested in sex, and that indicates a real problem. Get him to talk about the real problem,…

This isn’t surprising to me. Not everyone’s values are the same. Some people value being thrifty. Some people value spending money. If the money-spenders can have an affordable (note I say affordable, not intelligent) way to get what they want, then it’s fine for them to judge that the cost is worth the reward to them.

My wife and I talk money when we need to, but generally it’s a sore subject for her, especially when it comes to spending. As a child, her father was a narsacist and opposed spending money on anything that didn’t directly benefit him. For example, when the new school year started her mother would tell him that the…

There’s really nothing in the article that comes close to saying that men suck. Seeing that’s your take on it, it appears that it’s you that has the wrong perspective. Try reading it again without a bias.

You’re missing a huge FREE option. The tax-prep software companies don’t want us to know that EVERYONE can file for free. Yes, EVERYONE! I just filed my 1040 (not 1040E, not 1040A) and my state taxes without spending a penny. TurboTax quoted me $99.95 for the convenience of filing through their software. Guess what? I…

Thank you for clearing up the bullshit claim of 90% of Americans dying. That’s dangerous propaganda. We went to war with Iraq for a much less dangerous lie, and I fear that history is soon to repeat itself due, once again, to fiction. I attempted to convince the author of the article on The Hill, but he wouldn’t hear…

Blah, blah, blah. You can try to misdirect all you want. The truth of the matter is that he’s a criminal, and that’s why Trump hired him. He couldn’t get anyone clean to run his campaign because they wouldn’t go near him.

We’ve had tremendous success with our nephews and cousins’ kids with Catan Junior, My First Carcassonne, My First Stone Age, Ticket to Ride First Journey, and other modern board games. They encourage critical thinking and reduce “win-by-stupid-luck” chances. They’re also great at helping kids transition to more…

When “up-line” family (parents, siblings, etc) is being unreasonable, you’re completely within your rights to ignore, turn away from, or if necessary completely cut them off. I have had to make that tough decision a couple times, and my life, and more importantly, my “down-line” family’s life is better for having made…

You do realize that power outages also take out your ISP connection, not just the electric, right? Therefore, you will still have no Internet even if you have a UPS.

Unless I’m missing something, this isn’t so much a straw man tactic as it is a “here’s what I know that can help you pursue that path” tactic. Is there actually any need to call it a straw man?

So should I disregard this entire article because the author violated the capitalization rule of “Internet” (http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/…)? Maybe someone should inform his boss.

Don't. If you understand what they meant, then there's no need to correct them. If you can't live with that then it's you that has the problem, not them.

Very nice! Thank you!
