Doesn’t mean smartphones don’t cause harm to your eyes. While blue light is just fine, long term close proximity reading with often lack of lubrication due to lack of blinking is still a thing with smart phones. So be mindful of your eyes and do eye gymnastics that is supposed to restore the range of motion your lens…

In the U.S., the average hourly wage for a full-time associate in our fulfillment centers, including cash, stock, and incentive bonuses, is over $15/hour before overtime.

That’s absolutely true, but they belong to an often shady “brotherhood” that frequently places generating revenue above the health and safety of the public, and maintains a culture that shields its worst members of any repercussions from their bad acts, regardless of the severity (up to and including murdering…

No one really cares what cops want to do, they care about what cops actually do.

Democrats should keep moving to the right until they’re conservative enough to attract Republican voters, it’s gotta work eventually, right?

Former enlisted here, myself. I wasn’t that turned off by it. It wasn’t a Kellen Winslow “i’m a soldier!” type of statement, or even a statement necessarily about her personal experience (she doesn’t say “I feel like a soldier in World War II.”) She’s probably right. I’d say the majority of those in combat would…

Pardon me as I suit up for all the toxic comments here.

Found the idiot on the internet!

340 is enough, you’re driving it wrong.

I’m sorry about your circumstances too, you didn’t HAVE to have 4 kids.  Back of the line.

What does that even mean? That your compassion only extends as far as your kids and their needs? This isn’t a Zero sum game. All government social projects need more funding. It’s like the people that say, well I’m not going to worry about welfare til vets are taken care of. No, we need to take care of both at the…

I like this youtuber’s analysis of misogyny in nerd culture:

To all my fellow Mushroom Tops out there, let’s keep one thing in the forefront -

Yup, and when you’re in the seat behind me, trying to use your laptop or just have your meal, and I slam my seat into your space, making either one impossible, I’m sure you’ll be super happy.

Peasants?  Dudes afraid his own employees won’t recognize him and will kick his ass or kill his dog for pressing the call button.  

I can see your desire and sympathize with it but I think the general concessions and someone on the Kotaku staff can correct me if I’m wrong, is that you refer to them by the gender they wished to be identified as to not stigmatize or other them. Making them a good trans role model is awesome but so is just learning…

Ya know, I agree with you mostly. But as a Mentor to a lot of trans kid, good examples of high profile trans people aren’t that easy find. Especially ones that are smashing glass ceilings, so it’s nice to have this sort of thing to point out. My only wish is that she was playing fortnite (cause that’s what all the…

It annoys me to no end that when Scarlett is brought up people focus on her gender more than her skills. She is an amazing Starcraft player and the focus should be on that and not trying to qualify her gender. Scarlett is a woman, she identifies as a woman end of story. Everybody needs to stop being so damn…
