Partner lectured me when I was leaving the firm for a $35,000 bump in salary, telling me he was worried I couldn’t hack it and I should really think about the impact of my long hours if I planned to have a family.

Sadly, some of the comments on the article are absolutely scary. (And some of the highest upvoted). Just a small sampling:

There's one that I feel isn't as repeated as it needs to be:

I want to try this with white chocolate, caramel, and salt. Salted caramel white chocolate. Mmmmmmmmm. I love my salty sweets.

I always thought there are men who use this strategy for the same reason that the "Nigerian Prince" scam still sees use. Any bad target for will typically stop communicating quickly after recognizing the act, saving the time of the bro/scammer.

The big difference here is that Nintendo manages to innovate with every iteration of MK. Every new version gets its own quirks and mechanics. So I feel confident calling it a sequel rather than re-release. For a game without a "story" mode, they manage to cram a LOT of new content every generation.

Integration. Apple has great integration across all of their devices. It creates a sticky user experience. If you have one, you might want more than one when it comes time to make decisions.

This notification was just to inform you that you are indeed a wonderful human being. Don't let the vocal minority try to get you down. They're wrong. :)

It's primarily the distribution of traffic that has changed across the entire web. Now the bulk of traffic goes to the ever-increasing video consumption that the world partakes in. ISPs have tried to optimize their own networks to balance towards larger packets to adapt. This slow but sure change causes a gradual…

There's a subtle difference, in that net neutrality would do nothing to help Riot here. What Riot wants is a traffic stream dedicated to tons of small queries all the time. The way the internet works right now (because it's efficient to do so) is to send fewer, larger packets less frequently.

The funny thing is that people with Celiac love these people discovering "gluten allergies" or diets because for years, every restaurant didn't give two fucks about what Celiac meant. But now that it's a "fad" people like my mom actually have options that don't result in a week of pain or hospitalization just from…

Wow. This was very exciting to watch. Thanks for posting it!

I think he was more referencing the emote spam than the decklist.

CYBER50 is a coupon code that applies a 50% discount to select items at checkout. The only items it failed to apply to in my cart were the $1 items.

As a male who enjoys giving oral sex more than receiving it, I would feel deeply inadequate if I was receiving that much without reciprocating. If your reason for doing it is procedural, and not because you wish to, it sounds like there's a problem in your communication with your partner. You should never feel…

Assisted suicide?

It makes me feel immediately happier when I can connect to a celebrity that I enjoy watching. Just the unrehearsed break directly into song (though, better than I can) to expand his point without using words is something my friends and I do all the time. Seeing it happen like this made my day. Thanks, Clover.

My girlfriend and I recently had the talk about protection/abortion/etc. and this came up. Fortunately, we mostly agreed on it, so the conversation was easier, but we did have a slightly different stance than the other on when abortions become much harder to justify morally. (I'll leave our personal opinions out of…

I agree that both are issues. I also like the idea of a single transferable vote as a resolution to both. Enough that I would like to see one of the states put a STV system on the ballot just to try and even things out. It would be a good start to get the population accustomed to it as a real thing and maybe get…

You just described my least favorite thing about voting: Gerrymandering. It was actually a pretty good description, too, considering you have no visual aid.
