How can anyone possibly ignore it? For the past few years things have played out one of two ways:
1) Some entertainment medium makes a heavy handed attempt to clumsily pander to the most fragile demographic. It has nothing to do with the story, the character development or even the conversation in which the information…

What an absolute garbage response, thankfully it’s in a stark minority given that the game sold 12 million copies, netting $850 million....in it’s first 14 days.

You don’t get to spend the first 30/40/50/60 years of your life living as a man, take some hormones and grow your hair out and then pretend your opinion…

As a side effect of this, everyone should also pay attention to the “wealth” attributed to Bezos. When their market cap was at $2 trillion, his wealth was $200 billion....Amazon drops to $900 billion, his wealth is now at $109 billion.

The wealth of these billionaires are tied directly to the value of stock that they…

Batman, but he got all his gadgets on Wish.

Big deal. My VR setup has been simulating kisses for years now. You would never have heard of it though. It’s from Canada.

Am I the only one who thinks that “menstrual leave” is a discriminatory and a little derogatory thing to offer? Call me an entitled European if you must, but sick leave should not entail giving away why you need it. There is not “twisted ankle” leave, there is no “snotty nose and diarrhea leave” and there shouldn’t be…

It probably bestows immortality.

True, true, and true.

That’s why I made the delineation between intelligence and common sense. He’s clearly done things that have and will continue to impact entire industries for many years. Yet so many other times he sounds like a total buffoon. It’s a bit of confounding mix. 

We’re like the proverbial frog in boiling water (which modern biologists say is not true, by the way - please don’t try), we can react to immediate threats like a pandemic, but we can’t react to a gradual one like climate change. In other words, collectively we’re dumber than a real frog.

I agree with poeticinsomniac though I might have worded it differently. Technology replacing manual effort has always been a theme in human history, and every generation facing that has bemoaned it. Yet here we are, looking at another technology replacement wave. Industrial Revolution I, Industrial Revolution II,…

I 100% agree that in a place full of imminent and potential danger, like an airport, where there are 1,000,000 people, luggage carts, conveyor belts, overserved passengers and other crazy shit, that you need to always be on guard to watch out for your kid, even if that means taping them to your luggage. So this case…

There is a level of being a careful parent that is beneficial for the child but there is also a point in which it is very unhealthy for both. The problem is that it is very difficult gauge in every situation where that point lays.

Agree 100% but the point is: this woman can’t be judged by this one occurence. If being surronded by all this children you never screwed up once you certainly should write a book. Imagine people seeing you in your worst moment with your child and then you being judged by others by this moment alone, clearly unfair.

Man my almost 2 year old daughter has absolutely no fear and will run at the first sight of freedom and I can totally see her getting on a conveyor belt like this seeing as how she loves riding an escalator. Definitely you can’t take your eyes off of them for a split second especially in a large public space like the…

This is why our son stays strapped into the stroller until we reach the gate. No running off or getting into hi-jinks.

I, like many other scientists, think we’re probably past the point of no return. Turning it around at this point is like turning a bullet train around at full speed.

everyone knows the best way to kill a fish is to hold it by the throat until you see the light leave its eyes, and then you bury them in your yard and plant roses over them.

oh sorry, i was thinking of hobos. fish are best killed by throwing M80's in a pond and then hitting them on a stump, like we did in my redneck…

If you care that much about the environment, stop using beauty products altogether. Trust me, they’re not working.
