While I agree that there's nothing morally wrong with having kids without having spouses, let's not pretend it's some universally awesome, progressive thing. It may seem "modern" when you picture upper-middle-class folks proudly going it alone, or forgoing marriage as oppressive. Thing is, most kids born…

I neither wrote, nor think, either of those things. Feel free to disagree with me; just disagree with something I actually wrote.

This is going to sound really old-fayshioned, but what the hell is with all the celebrities who get married when pregnant. Sets a really bad example. Not the marrying part; that's cool. But in general, for us non-rich, non-celebrities, getting someone / being pregnant while unmarried generally doesn't work out so…

Arguably translucent skin is worse

I don't have bags, but I do have thin skin, fair skin around my eyes, resulting in dark circles (which I've had since 9 years old). Hate it. I used to try to cover it up, but it always looked worse. I have to put a tanning moisturizer on, to slightly darken my skin tone, just so people don't keep asking if I'm ok,…

I WILL kill HIM

I mean, if the whole division, office, or company goes down, it's just bad luck (though even then, often management will throw a lifeline to top performers). If you're getting let go outside of those circumstances, it means you're hovering near the bottom of the stack rank, which is where the weakest performers with…

Yup, it's just the facts. And it's so stinky. Especially when you watch the sock price soar based on the headline "Company X to close offices, cut 13% of workforce".

Right - if you're really bright, talented, and hard working, you will not be let go a dozen times like the doofus in the last story.

Clearly the guy and his field were not a good fit. He probably ended up near the bottom of the stack rank at every position. If anyone was let go, it was him. And he never differentiated himself to make himself less disposable. No one gets laid off that often without sucking at their job at least a little bit.

"Zach Braff is sorry for comparing Pharrell to a monkey in an idiotic Grammys tweet."

I liked this post a lot. Adolescents do deserve more credit. Only very young kids are dangerously susceptible to media. Because their brains are still trying to figure out basics like "reality v fantasy". But teen minds have developed past that.

Massachusetts just did exactly that. A judge found a defendant innocent on upskirts because no laws existed which matched. The legislature unanimously passed an upskirt law the next day (or aso)

I recently restarted in Skyrim for the first time in a year or so. And I am constantly blown away by the amount of sheer content in that thing. So many mobs, and systems, and ingredients, and quests, and spells etc etc etc etc. Brand new on day one it was $60. Thought of paying nearly that much just to have a…

...It's pointless because the sorts of people who could be rapists wouldn't bother to subject themselves to it.

Retro pixel art is a useful stylistic constraint for non-AAA game development. 200 triangle characters could be, too.

You know what they say. "Bumbles bounce"

They would get the male experience - 10,000 women emailing the same 20 successful hunks.

" I'd say the only good thing about online dating has is that it makes it easier to meet smart but shy guys who wouldn't have the nerve to go up to a girl in a bar"

gaming addiction is totally a thing. But there are ways to promote moderation without being alarmist and frankly stupid about it. This looks like nothing anyone can relate to, even relatives.
