6. Shoot the hostage.

An adult’s mind in my five year old self? If that meant I somehow also got my five year old imagination back, I don’t know that I could resist.

Be wary of taking life/family advice from Business Insider. They are right, but for the wrong reason. If someone asks to borrow money, mention interest. They’ll never ask again.

You’re right. It looks totally nuts.

Little trick, instead of “I need,” use “Would you kindly?” Picked that one up working at Ryan Industries.

Nadya Labi wrote an article regarding children’s overbooked schedules in the late 90'’s. It commented on the lack of unstructured play and how helicopter parents remove the necessity for kids to navigate their own social groups. I agree with that aspect of Lanza’s criticism.

Beautifully dissected!

In so far as I can tell, nutrition is essentially witchcraft. Or propaganda.

Is there a reason capital gains don’t/can’t have a progressive system like income tax? For example, tax capital gains at 20% up to $20,000, then 25% in the next bracket and so on. I’d genuinely like to know.

I’m the bad guy?

I thought I was the only one who loved the flavor.

“Facts? Where we’re going, we don’t need facts.”

What’s the consensus about NoScript these days? It got disabled on all our work browsers, and surfing the web without it is akin to going through the Wonka tunnel with the targeted advertising of Minority Report.

Splitting wood by any method is one of the least fulfilling chores your children will ever do.

The biggest problem with Angel was all the sexiness. Wait...did I say problem? I meant the best part. Angel, Fred, Wesley, Gunn, Lindsey (especially with the guitar). Hell, I wouldn’t say no to Lorne or Quinn either.

I disagree with your premise. Not only were there no facts, there wasn’t even really a debate. Not when they can simply not answer questions by saying “before I get to that.” They might as well have just read their talking points like a middle school book report and let us go to bed.

These are some great tips. Being proactive is so key, especially if you’ve dealt with a toxic workplace in the past. My current boss fosters a way more open and honest environment than his predecessor (who used selective rule enforcement to encourage reporting on colleagues).

I had House of Memories by Panic at the Disco playing, and it synced up perfectly. I don’t want to admit to how long I’ve just been staring.

She was the one I wanted to romance, but my FemShep just couldn’t get her to overcome her binary view of sexuality. She was the most interesting character and if her only flaw is that she has mandibles and maxillae, I could learn to get freaky with that. Plus, I hear antennae are sensitive.

Yes, on second thought, you are absolutely right.
