aaaand now you expose yourself as just another troll... unless that was a confession on your side?

what part of

lol, actually, it happens in about 80% of times... Way more often than not. But keep on judging :p Even when it doesn't happen, THOSE PEOPLE ARE STILL PAID FULL WAGE, and then it happens because we had to wait half an hour for drinks, or for very basic things like trying to ask for something or the bill and not being…

he clearly said he still tips... I tip when I get good service (again: in a country where tipping is optional because normal wage with service included in the price)

I'm not saying it's not possible that being waitstaff isn't physically, mentally or emotionally hard, the point should be if it's physically, mentally or emotionally harder than other jobs. Given that the OP told us he used to be (or is) an EMT, I believe he has the right to claim his job is physically, mentally or…

I actually thought the Bartlett article made very much sense... (disclaimer: I'm from a country that has more-than-minimum wage for waiting staff and the menu's even let us know in small print that "service is included in the price" so tipping really, really is something extra for really good servers)

Also, doesn't she…

the thing is if you study psychology to major in experimental psychology you get shitloads of statistics, math, psychophysics, neurology, biology, genetics, etc... The psychology classes are just part of it and the kind that are accessible to everyone tend to be easy and introductory.

Research shows that around 70% of clinical psychologists once had problems themselves and that this was a major factor in them choosing to study psychology. The same research found no significant link whatsoever between experimental psychologists (the research branch) or company psychologists (another major that…

"Heavy" indeed...

Usually when apple has spoken it eventually comes true. Where are your floppys? How many times have you used non-USB keyboards or mice the last 15 years? How many CD's/DVD's have you used in your computer lately? APPLE HAS SPOKEN! :)

That's just basic diminishing of returns principle: imagine that you can construct a computer chip that performs well, costs will rise exponentially to create chips that perform better, better, better. Linear progression in chip performance will go along with exponential growth in cost. That's the case for everything…

"they don't last longer, they simply don't" => repeating something doesn't make it true (though it makes it sound more true). Pcmagazine had a sample of some 63000 pc owners and apple came out on top of reliability. That's not anecdotal evidence, that's quite a big sample size.

7 years of homework a night? How stupid were you that it took you 7 hours a night? Getting an advanced degree is easy but I can't for the life of me imagine how someone who takes 7 hours to do homework as a teenager ever finds the time to get an advanced degree...

so your kids can't go on wifi-networks with their phones anyware, can they?

I guess they're saying the exact same thing about you though. And I can't help but wonder who's the most realistic.

There are genius teenagers... If your parents are just "normals" and you're uncomfortably intelligent, you can just play your parents, teachers etc like a fiddle. You're looked upon as a paragon, but basically live your life the way you want it...

Keep telling yourself that teenagers are DUMB, if they're anything like…

How is this complaint even à thing? The iPod connector changed once since 2001... Once. name a single portable device brand that only changed ports once and have only been using a single port type. Zip.

Don't pile Christianity on one heap, the Roman Catholic church has openly accepted (physical) evolution since the 1950's. Maybe America's different, but nearly all christians in Roman Catholic Europe accept evolution through natural selection and the new synthesis as truth.

We wouldn't know the difference, wouldn't we? What science would describe as randomness in your scenario wouldn't really be, but scientists would have no way of knowing since "god works in mysterious ways".

The fact that you think a deity is evil and thus you hope that deity doesn't exist doesn't contribute anything to the discussion of wether or not it exists. (neither does wanting or believing God to exist)
