Aside: I got this achievement last night in The Legend of Korra™, and I’m still giggling this morning.

You’d be surprised what people find tolerable in the privacy of their own homes.

I don’t think it’s a matter of intellect. 45 is obsessed with how people perceive him, so anyone that generates extensive ill-will towards his presidency is potentially up for the chopping block.

I responded far more positively to this advertisement, because it portrayed a change in opinion as a result of interacting with someone with an opposing view that wasn’t predicated on receiving a beverage. For example, the transphobe states that he’d like to exchange phone numbers with his diametrically-opposed…

In 2009, Catholic Conference spokesman Dennis Proust claimed that the CVA was “designed to bankrupt the Catholic Church,” and last year maintained that “over time, witnesses die, evidence is lost and memories fade,” making such cases difficult to defend. (According to research by Child USA CEO Marci Hamilton, no…

I feel like I ★ one of these comments every post, but I continue to do so because the reminder is still required. 

I’ve worked in the power generation industry (including at nuclear sites) in the past and currently work on a gaming console. I can absolutely confirm that the bug expectation/allowance from the latter is substantially lower than the former.

I am reminded of a bug in the Xbox One which some developers affectionately called “Earthquake mode,” in which the UI could be manipulated “off-canvas” when using the Kinect. It was “left in” during shipping on both the shell apps and services because it was considered a Feature and Not a Bug™ (mostly because almost ev…

From a UX standpoint, given that the column predominately contains ads, it’s more appropriate to have it on the right. In left-to-right (LTR) cultures, we tend to have a blind spot for content in right columns given its historical use for advertiser content. Menus (when not appearing in a header) generally have been…

I probably wouldn’t date a coworker, but I have known quite a few people who have and are very happy for it. I’m just exceedingly glad that this integrated product requires both parties to consent to flirting/exploring dating potential; far too many people view their colleagues as a potential dating pool and subject…

I’ve mentioned this before, but I generally consume written news rather than video, because my brain processes the information much better. This meant that I had never heard 45's voice. However, since I am also a fan of Samantha Bee, I was her show and had the unfortunate pleasure of being subjected to what I had…

Entirely intended as a joke and said in good faith:

As an aside, I purchased these TaoTronics active noise-cancelling earbud headphones when they were on sale, and they are by far the most wonderful purchase that I have made in years. I cannot speak for the quality of the models listed on this page, but I love my headphones and have used them daily for over a month now.

I still think that they’re feature flighting the changes. I see it on the right on my laptop today, but my desktop has the old layout. And I made sure to clear my cache.

I read a brilliant article somewhere a year or two ago before all of this insanity came to fruition, and it stated that Obama’s presidency proved that “any man” could be President of the United States because a black man managed to do so. That’s why we saw such a surge of candidates who hadn’t extensive political…

He HATED that I made him explain in detail what he was going to do when he said I needed to be still.

I’ve had more issues with male doctors than I have female. Many of them tend to attribute any symptom that I exhibit as being psychosomatic or conventional problems of having a menstrual cycle. They also vehemently vetoed my every attempt to get sterilized.

Orange-Osceola State Attorney Aramis Ayala has received threatening and racist mail, one of which included a noose. She is the state’s first black attorney state attorney.

Mine? He goes around with the feeling that he’s just about to sneeze, but never can sneeze.

Unfortunately, I don’t think that all of us are clear on what consent means, especially in context of sexual actions/assault. What is clearly sexual assault/rape can be interpreted otherwise, especially by victims who are compelled or encouraged to blame themselves.
