Twitter is my main news source. Or at least, my main news aggregator. Your complaints seem oddly anachronistic, given the medium you're delivering them in >_>

PR isn't just an all or nothing conscious-choice-to-steer-clear kind of thing. It's also "Do I feel like McDonald's or Burger King?" kind of thing, where that feeling for one or the other is an amalgamation of a million different tiny emotional inputs you've had over your life. Thing like this isn't going to convince…

I wish. Summer hits with a vengeance overnight here. It was 60°F today. 60! Barely needed the stove to cook today, could have fried my food on the sidewalk.

They... they don't look anything at all alike. What am I missing here, there's like absolutely zero resemblance. One is long, slim, smooth and pink, the other is short, wide, red and faceted. Am I crazy? >_>

I'm not really sure where you draw the line between "herbs" and "drugs" here. I mean it's not like pharmaceutical companies invent all their stuff from thin air, many medicines come from natural or partially natural sources. When you say "getting the extract out of a herb", that's like half the job they're doing…

What I really don't understand is why you think pharmaceutical companies wouldn't want a superior medicine to what's currently available on the market. If they really are as efficient as you claim, with no side effects, why on earth wouldn't they want to put that in a pill and sell it? Because they're prejudiced? I…

Now, I don't know if it's a general problem in kindergartens all over the world, but I have a teacher friend who can't stop her 5-year olds from looking up porn on their class iPad. How can anyone, in 2013, seriously think that 13-year olds don't already know everything there is to know, in vivid HD, about genitals…

With the added bonus of highlighting how much his behavior resembles that of an off-brand Donald Duck

Why would her vagina be more effective in muddy waters than traditional fishing methods?

I was just gonna make a LotR joke :(

They run as if the very whips of their masters were behind them

Second wave shrimp... suffrage shrimp... Beauvoir shrimp...

Maybe I'm reading this entirely wonky, but doesn't that article state that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act was specifically added to combat the situation you are describing?

It almost seems like it's younger people who don't know the risks of putting yourself on the internet. People who weren't around in the 90s when it wasn't such a big deal and everyone was super paranoid about putting your real name online. It's like they consider the internet to be such an obvious part of life that…

Like I said, they probably do have people who do random searches or sporadic content moderators, but it's a drop in the ocean compared to the constant onslaught of content. Plus the fact that they really don't care unless it'll become a PR issue for them, such as with child porn. You can bet they have more than one…

They could, but that's not where the money is. Facebook makes money by creating profiles on you based on what you post and like and read, then selling those profiles to ad companies so they can make tailored ads to you specifically. Censoring people, or in any way discouraging them from posting, completely counteracts…

They probably do have people who do exactly that. But thing about it is... Facebook plays host to about 14% of the entire human population. They receive about 3500 photos every second. They'd need tens of thousands of people whose sole job was to just sift through content and flag it as inappropriate, and the large…

The mom is an insane fundamentalist who thinks sex and everything related to it (as well as pretty much everything else) is the work of the devil. She's made out to be the reason Carrie is as timid and scared of herself as she is, which in turn is a big reason she's bullied at school. Her powers don't really have a…

Well, if women comprise 50% of the population but only a small fraction of the political authority or the STEM fields, then there really aren't that many explanations that fit your idea of a meritocracy.
