I have a philosophy degree, so I feel compelled to point out that you did start an argument (more accurately, you responded with your own argument). You didn’t pick a fight. Considering how shitty American discourse has become, I honestly think that’s an important distinction to make. Arguments (as in suppositions…

I intend my next sentence to be blunt, possibly even harsh, but not actively mean. You’ve contributed nothing of substance with this comment. Neither I, nor the original comment, nor the article’s author said anything about modest inheritances. Nobody said you shouldn’t be able to take care of your kids, or pass on…

Trump won’t give the okay on anything that might have consequences directly traceable back to him.

War only has to be popular with about 30% of the country to matter to this admin.

I understand what you’re saying. I have a household income of a bit shy of $100,000. If you’d told 14-year-old me, shortly after hearing someone say doctors make fifty grand, that I’d make twice that, I would have thought I’d be living a far more lavish life than I am now. I’m uncomfortably middle class, terrified…

Literally no one needs millions, much less *billions* of dollars to lead a comfortable life.

“I know people are tired of old white dudes dominating politics, and I know Warren and I are very similar when it comes to policies and values, but did you know that *Centrists* also like Warren? Progressive ideas that appeal to a broad base? That’s just unacceptable.”

History is full of examples of “barbarians” from the north laying waste to “great” civilizations.  I’d be perfectly fine with becoming the United States of Canada.

Biden’s only appeal ever was as a wacky uncle. The problem with wacky uncles (I have a couple) is that if you need to get serious with them, you realize they didn’t think they were being wacky this whole time, and they’re insulted you think their behavior is a problem. You’ve laughed at their jokes for so long, why…

Why isn’t it the name of the site?

Right? There are a few sites where I’ve whitelisted them (GMG included) only to be immediately met with auto-playing video, broken layouts, and worse.  

I’m not saying that the applications and protocols aren’t great improvements, just that the companies maintaining a death grip on them are unnecessary and actively harmful. How often do you hear of an “improvement” to Google or Facebook that is just a transparent attempt to extract more data to sell to advertisers? …

Unfortunately, he’s surrounded himself with warmongering bigots.  He may not be clever or connected enough, but a guy like Bolton may be.  I worry our best hope is in his fear of commitment.  Trumpy talks a big game, but he’s proven himself too much of a coward to actually make the first move.

“Look how much revenue our gold-plated apples are making compared to everyday oranges!”

It seems like most of the big names in tech disruption just developed something that should be a universal, publicly available protocol, and then either exploited workers or abandoned privacy protections to cash in. Twitter’s just text messages with a few bells and whistles. Facebook’s just email with a few bells and…

You can’t kid about this administration. Donny-boy’s been drooling over the prospect of a terrorist attack or a big glorious war from day one. The only problem so far is that the terrorist attacks have all been his supporters, and the acts of war have all come from his financial overseers. So of course he’s gonna try…

Hemingway would have admired the storytelling prowess of that tweet.

I’ve yet to find a notebook or note-taking system that works well for me. I’ve got dozens of them floating around with all sorts of different attempts in them, but I always lose track of what I put where.

I’d love to hear some opinions on this, too. I saw a Kickstarter recently for an “eternal” notebook, but I haven’t been able to figure out if there are any other similar alternatives, or how reliable their claims are. This is the first time I’ve heard the phrase “stone paper” though, so maybe that’ll lead to some…
