My first thought when you said “dragon man”:

Ugh... I honestly don’t know who / what is worse, HR or credit scores.

It has been 9 years since I deployed to Iraq. I spent 15 months there doing convoy recovery. Since I got back I’ve dealt with at times crippling PTSD, and about three years ago my therapist recommended I try playing a more realistic war game, as it apparently helps many people (though honestly I don’t know how). At…

It was to try and close those two clinics and for no other reason than that.

People don’t naturally do a good job of processing risk. Things that are familiar or where people have a sense of control are processed as less risky than things that are unusual or where people feel like they are not in control. This helps explain why people fear flying a lot more than driving even though driving is…

Very southern for sure. I used to pass these around as a young wayward born again until I realized my sinful ways and became a feminist killjoy instead.

I’ve said it multiple times on Deadspin: my interest has entirely shifted from the NFL to soccer this year. No commercials, very few stoppages and unbelievable skill of the players just makes it so much more entertaining.

I don’t read Reddit so, it’s nice that someone points out information found in the various bits of the webs.

It’s almost like Kotaku is... some kinda aggregate news site. As if it were a place where a person could one-stop shop for the information they’re interested in, instead of combing the web themselves. But I…

The first error is using “think” and “Trump” in the same context. Thinking doesn’t seem to be his strong point.

A thing happened, and they wrote a story to enlighten us about it. Isn’t that what news is?

I actually recently found that the opposite has worked very well for me. I grew up believing in religion, and doing the best I could to understand it, but the logic was never there, and I would grow frustrated when life would get difficult. I was always searching for a purpose. I decided for myself, that religion is a…

“Because so far, my view on this whole “controversy” has been one of lackadaisical indifference. I’d hate to be required to take a side.”

“Can’t you just use Fahrenheit?” - iO9 commenter taken out of the grays to be ridiculed.

“Europa League!? I mean, seriously, how are you supposed to play soccer in - 171.15°C temps?”

I broke my arm when I was 13. When they took off the cast, my tendons had healed a little too tight. I found out that I could throw a baseball incredibly fast. I got signed to a major league team and did really well closing out games. I eventually reinjured my arm later in the season and had to retire. But I’ll always…

And yet... In several jobs I’ve had where my work was officially measured on output, when I put out a huge amount of work and was very highly responsive, etc, I was perceived as less productive than my colleagues who came in earlier, even though they had fewer responsibilities and produced less. When I would get that…

Yeah! Who cares about quantifiable data and expert analysis from people who do that sort of thing for a living. You’ve got a preexisting belief, and goddammit if anybody’s gonna make you change your mind!

Nope, common misconception. The most common type of hand sanitizer doesn’t contain antimicrobials. It just dries out the germs with alcohol, which is not a thing they can develop resistance to.
