I’m not approving or disapproving of any kind of parenting. I’m disapproving of the mentality that some parents adopt that exposing a child to something that may not be 100% in keeping with whatever their view is (whether its eating an ice cream cone or watching a less-than-totally-accurate portrayal of Imperial China…

I agree with all of this. I just don’t understand this weird helplessness that some parents feel when it comes to exposing kids to things. I think kids are perfectly capable of watching Pocahontas and also coming to the understanding that it’s a story (with TALKING TREES!) and that actual history was different. The…

Hot-ish Take: this is the best Video Game Song of all time.

I’ll say this: the viral marketing for this new Jason Bourne movie is getting both more subtle and way edgier.

This is the best analysis on this whole page.

A lot of these are about essential “survival” skills that you really need as you progress in your career/life. One that I’ve learned in my 20's that’s more of a “great to have” than a “need to have” is how to run a meeting well.

The problem I (and most everyone else I talk to about Yelp) have is that I pretty much never leave any reviews. Neither does anyone else in my social circles or any coworkers. I honestly couldn’t say I know a single Yelp “power user.”

“When Robert talked about ‘unacceptable,’ that was a word Dan (Snyder) used all the time.

This is strong Kinja.

“But out in the real world, it usually pays to not be an insensitive, judgmental prick.”

Seriously? Did you mean to say, “What’s wrong with, like, half of the best restaurants and steakhouses out there?” Skillet to oven is spectacular for a filet if you do it right.

Putting metal and electronics into a front pocket or other easily accessible part of your carry-on BEFORE you get to the bins is by far the easiest way to get out of there faster and not piss off everyone behind you. I swear, every time I go through security there’s always a couple of people who seem to get all the…

I just don’t see the point of writing this. I understand and agree with the critique of Kipling. It’s racist. It’s imperialist. But are you saying that literally any adaptation of that story of a kid in a jungle with talking animals is inherently racist if made today? Is any modern performance of Wagner anti-semetic…
