In no world is it worth considering. In a sample of 1, you have no idea if he is in that percentile or not.

RIP ocelots. Never forget.

That's the point, the Israeli government won't allow the Palestinians to share the country, and completely control every bit of their lives, including health, housing, economy, etc. I'm an American who educated myself on this, after watching the BBC tell a very different story of this situation than the US Media…

Why do Americans constantly make this excuse? Yes it is viable. It is possible to make a better system. It is scalable and it is the result of people demanding accountability by their neighbors and their government. Greed by the upper classes, indifference by the middle classes and powerlessness by the lower…

This album was a bit of a letdown after some of his previous masterpieces, but the source material has gotten significantly worse with time. This song is definitely a standout, though!

Clearly, examining Finland's public education system for ways to improve our own public education system is nothing short of applying a complete and exact copy of their policies and procedures to every American school district simultaneously, down to the language on the handouts being Finnish. If it isn't white, it…

a. All the hard work in the world won't replace talent. I was 5'10" 179 and busted my tail in HS football. It didn't make me as good or even close to the guy who was 6'4" 260 and faster than me or the guy who was 6'1" 210 with an innate sense of the game. Both played DI and in The NFL by the way

Worth noting on the standardized testing/educational competition stuff you write about here: Finland, arguably the world's best educational system, explicitly discourages that kind of thinking and focuses on equality instead of competition.

I've spent a lot of time out in the nowhere in the Pacific Northwest in my life, and Cougar are the only animals that actually frighten me. Sneaky fucks too.

Had me a run in with one of those at East Walker River in California near Topaz Lake. I was fishing, it was watching me. Cougar stared me down and then came at me. I had a pistol loaded with snake shot for rattler issues. Put two shots at the cat when it charged, it took a face full of rattler load, shook its face and…

It's not a bad game, but it is highly disappointing, but that's only by comparison to its forefathers.

Nah, I wouldn't wish that on the rank and file.

She should have spent that time learning to swim.

The Venn diagram here is problematic if you really want an accurate portrayal of poverty. The circles of 'people experiencing poverty' and 'people given a voice by the media' do not intersect often.

Republicans tell me there are no white people on welfare. This story is a fabrication.

Actually, we don't want better AI. It's not that they can't make it, it's that when they do people hate it. I remember this one experiment a developer did where they gave bot AI in a FPS the ability to do cover fire and flanking. Then they had people play against it and people kept saying the AI was cheating and…

Did it really look like ps2 graphics, though?
