Hello, I’m the writer, I’m a freelancer, I write for lots of places, and I’m quite good, not to toot my own horn. I had fun reporting this out, in large part because it was interesting to learn that a number of well-respected scientists have done research into the science of “ghost encounters,” since, as outlined in…

This one is election related. Our HOA has an extremely unenforceable rule of no political signs. They even sent out an email basically saying, hey we can’t really enforce it but let’s just not be assholes to each other during the election. So I had a guy in my neighborhood pop up a trump sign and a couple of other…

“I may not agree with her” is clearly saying that he doesn’t agree with her, but is willing to collaborate with her. Just like the workers all over the world have to suck it up and collaborate with people they don’t like every day. You are not going to eliminate outmoded attitudes overnight. It is, however, only a…

Rowling’s views are bigoted, ignorant and hateful but they are still opinions. And people have the right to have their own opinions.

That said, your opinions should not and will not shield you from criticism and consequences.

Rowling is recieving a lot of blowback and absolutely should get more heaped onto the pile,…

Software engineer here (former gamedev, currently corporate). We mostly accept that crunch is a fact of life in software development (and a lot of other industries). Simply budgeting more time doesn’t work as a general solution because work tends to fill the available time without necessarily progressing further. Some…

Sorry, but she is actively promoting and supporting the expansion of authoritarianism in Hong Kong. She chose to make those public statements, she wasn’t asked to.

Apple has the only hardware on the market that doesn’t allow you to bipass their pay model. Android lets you install anything without the use of google play. PCs are basically free for alls. both Xbox AND PS have allowed EA to make their own monthly pay model on their devices. Heck Steam just allowed EA to do it too.

Until you find me a mug as big as my bowl, you can just keep this incredibly bad take to yourself.

Whomever ok’d the new design really should rethink things. Good lord that’s a massive fustercluck.

Just because something starts as a dumb, trolling joke doesn’t mean it can’t become real.

I’d argue that when they do this “plausible deniability” shit like the OK symbol and Hawaiian shirts, we should flood the zone with it everywhere and dilute it.

If I might make an attempt at nuance here, the idea that many psychiatrists are too quick to throw pills at something and call it a day is both true and a big problem. I speak from personal experience - I struggled for years futilely against clinical depression with a series of RXs that never much helped until I…

It’s almost like the point of the show was for you to be...

“Trump in particular is a dead man walking, will be out of office in January”

I’ll believe it in January.

If anybody truly wants him out of office, do not listen to the polls or pundits.  Go out and vote no matter what!

I’m not defending Chris D’elia. The guy’s an arsehole but this habit of burying any production that pricks like him have appeared in is a sketchy one and unfair to the co-stars and dozens, if not hundreds of people who helped make it

The book is expected to send shockwaves throughout the White House,

It is more likely that people will start having sex with it first. 

I get master/slave. It isn’t really necessary at all, and more descriptive terms are actually better in most cases.
