This, sure it’ll get me there 2 minutes faster (allegedly) but I have to take 44 turns and attempt to cross 6 lane streets to make a left in LA?

I don’t mean to nitpick, but you have fundamentally misrepresented the results.

Grabowski showed that Waze *predicted* the shortest travel time, but was low an average of 11%. The actual findings support the following statements:

For real travel times (not predicted), Google Maps was fastest. Second fastest Apple.…

I don’t think it’s demonizing when the NRA is putting this out there:

I’m all for freedom of speech, but this sort of thing ought to be illegal. How is this any different than selling patent medicine?

This is shocking news: 20% of the health advice on the doctors is proven by science?!?!

I am all about working up a good appetite in this manner.

Here’s a better idea: have sex all day. In the evening, when you’re tired and starved, order some good delivery.

I’m sorry you interpreted that as a lurch into being combative. Certainly not my intent.

We can lay a lot of stuff at W’s feet - he did a lot to damage our democracy and set us on a bad path and create some horrific precedents. But I don’t believe he ever labeled his mainstream political opposition terrorists. That’s a rhetorical phenomenon that’s started gathering steam more recently outside of people’s…

I get what they are saying about the “like us” vs “not like us” thing. Accents are used to differentiate groups constantly, but I disagree with the idea that it is more commonly than not, villains.

I don’t think the article’s title matches it’s content. Sure, if the article had gone on to discuss a study that found kids growing up with those media influences experienced markedly higher levels of distrust for foreigners maybe the title would apply. Instead the article starts off with the title “What kids learn…

Even better with Gran Classico in place of the Campari. And actually, for a Boulevardier I’m a fan of a 2:1:1 ratio instead of 1:1:1. And for the love of god, dogging the picture, do not use Dolin Sweet Vermouth.

I wouldn’t put it that way... It’s more, “I like this whiskey and I want to see what other really good stuff tastes like. But oh, it’s expensive. Maybe someone can help guide me so I don’t waste my hard-earned money?”

No need to perpetuate the notion that marijuana users are untrustworthy there, Jeff Sessions. Can’t he just be shady cus he’s shady?

8/10 on the DadJoke scale, did chuckle.

No, I get it. He definitely abused his power over her. But 24 is not a child, she was already leaving the position, and I’m unclear as to how the experience “held her hostage” after she moved to West Virginia, or what drove her to quit the field altogether.

(Woman here) But at what point are we taking away the woman’s agency? Not in this scenario, necessarily, but what about when a woman just truly wants to be involved with a man who has significantly more power? I completely see your point, but I am wondering when it becomes problematic to assume that consent isn’t…

I completely agree. But in her case, I don’t get any sense of victimization. Maybe naivety. She knew what she was doing when she entered into consensual (again, her own words) sex with him. She was dumb if she carried the thought “Oh, we had sex, now he’ll totally take me seriously and help my career at no gain to him…

The idea that it is definitively non consensual at work if it’s between a powerful person and a less powerful person is a real stumbling block for me and I think a lot of people who know people who have met their SO at work and have worked in places that don’t only have one direct chain of command.

I’m confused. All I get out of this story is that he’s a chauvinistic jerk-off like we already knew, but she’s also opportunistic because she had consensual sex with him multiple times, knowing he was newly married. In other words, it’s a non-story about two shitty people.
