Technically vinegar is an acid. A tasty yummy acid that many humans consume. Hope those cops don’t get doused with olive oil, too!

That’s a poor way to make an analysis. There have been actual studies that show what languages actually earn a premium for the learners—Prof. Oster makes a case for demand side, but the good Prof. should know the premium that accrues from the skill is driven as much by supply, as it is by demand.

...grammar almost doesn’t exist.

On the other hand, people don’t have a right to drive ONE mph over the speed limit. Not one. The left-hand lane is not the “laws don’t apply to me” lane, and people need to remember that too. If you are a criminal reckless driver, that’s not the responsiblility or problem of the law-abiding safe drivers around you.

Slightly OT, but what is it with adults asking for hugs? Why is this a thing? In my experience, only men have asked me for hugs and in professional settings. Once a male coworker and I were chatting and he asked for a hug when the conversation ended. I said absolutely not. WTF. You are not my child, my parent, my…

My biggest problem with my speed square is that it always takes me fifteen minutes to find where I last put it down.

Oh Joe. He is like the slightly inebriated uncle that correctly guesses what all your Christmas presents are before you open them.

One more reason the toddler strategy makes sense: trolls, like toddlers, change over time and slowly absorb what their environment throws at them. Even if it sounds like they're not listening, whatever you say is making an impression.

I like Shawn Achor & this is a smart way to combine physical hygiene with mental hygiene. That said, I do think that for there to be real benefit, you need to think and pay attention to your thoughts. In my experience, there’s a lot of benefit to writing down your gratitude list, partially b/c the act of writing has a…

I would trust my children with Frank Reynolds before I would trust them with Ted Cruz.

Scream your freaking ass off. The better chance you'll draw the attention of someone who isn't trying to stab you.

I yawn too. My trick is to constantly force myself to yawn before I start to feel any pressure building. If you stay ahead of it, you’ll never have to feel any of the pain.

Chewing gum works pretty good. Only problem is getting it out of your ears afterwards.

Personally I find yawning to be effective and easy. I found this out accidentally, however I have used this method since on multiple flights and it hasn’t really “failed” me, only been less effective once.
Either way, if all else fails, give it a go :)

Those arabs really love freedom and democracy, its evident in all the democratic arab countries in the world such as... uh... and.... uh.... can anyone help?

I only pay attention to the local section of the paper and www.upworthy.com. Unless it’s really significant - like the Paris attacks - I probably know nothing about it. I’m with Sherlock Holmes on this - if it’s not immediately useful information, it doesn’t need to be in my brain. I'd rather be a person who stops and…

I’m a New Englander and there’s nothing New England about any Bush.
