There should be an extra rule that simply states, “Stick to the main idea.”

This whole article kind of sounds like someone saying, “No restaurant should serve filet mignon” after ordering steak at an Outback. Find better restaurants.

That’s awesome! I graduated in 2013. Maybe we’ve run into each other?

I went to Rutgers’ Camden campus (and now work there), which I loved, so I like to tell myself we’re a different breed and wouldn’t have let that happen. It’s the only way to solace myself.

Came here for this. Take your star!

I think the big issue here is that Lil Dicky is a satirical rapper, but a lot of people don’t understand satire. So somehow, the message they took from this is that it’s okay for them to say the N-word (which, of course, it is not).

That’s a good point. I’ve never had any diagnosis of depression myself, but I definitely get a bit of a seasonal thing going on when it gets darker out in the fall/winter months. It’s definitely a case where eating and sleeping well can help a lot. The more we can talk about these things free of stigma, the more…

Exactly. I’m a huge Star Wars fan, but I made a commitment to myself when I became a dad that I wouldn’t push it on my daughter. Around age 5-6 she started asking about Star Wars, so I waited until she was close to 7 and showed her A New Hope. She happened to love it and asked to watch more, so now she’s seen all of…

That’s a good thing in my opinion. People need to be ego checked more often.

You’re definitely right that it wouldn’t hurt, but I don’t think Aurora was taking it as a supposed cure. It’s just that a lot of people read these headlines and take the main idea further in that direction to the point where they talk to others going through depression as if it is a cure, and that’s really…

This is why I love love love love Garden State. Sincerity is such a rarity in film nowadays.

I don’t think the Coldplay hate has much to do with sincerity. I think a lot of people just don’t like their music. But I agree about the internet. It’s made people think cynicism is cool.

I think it’s an optical illusion. A piece of the set is behind her, her face isn’t actually visible at the angle she’s standing, and it happens to look like some weird Halloween monster mask.

If you’re not tied to the Windows environment, I would even consider Linux. The interface on something like Ubuntu might work a bit better for a tablet than Windows 7.

It is total BS that Microsoft can’t keep the install size of Windows 10 down, though. I had a laptop with a similar storage issue and I had to revert…

If you want to go with the food / bowel movement analogy, then the idea here is that this is like creating a food journal for someone who doesn’t know which foods are making their IBS worse. It’s not just numbers on a page, it’s an assistance in helping the person identifying what steps they can take to improve.

Yeah, I can agree with that.

Thanks for the backup, haha.

“Yahoo Groups and Google Groups both exude the dank air of benign neglect.”
I’m going to use this phrasing in as many situations as possible in the future.

I mean, I could understand their anger. I guess it all comes down to the intensity of the emotion. If someone is uncontrollably sobbing loudly in the office, or shouting at the top of their lungs loudy out of anger, there should be some expectation to control themselves to a degree, I guess. It’s a complicated issue I…

What about my statement makes me a “woosie”?
