Agreed - I highly doubt this is true. I don't doubt that phones have had an impact but this too far fetched and hard to believe. 3 minutes on average to take a photo of food? Really? Someone is trying to be dramatic to make a point.

Myers-Briggs types are the new "Hey baby, what's your sign?" on OKC. I don't know, don't care, and frankly if you base compatibility on that before you even meet a person, you're not worth meeting.
There is non-worthless personality testing out there, but (A) it has to be administered by a professional under controlled conditions (and random consultants for corporations that have been sold a load of hooey aren't it,) (B) the things it measures change over time, and (C) any individual person's score is nigh…
I see personality quizzes the same way I see astronomy: gazing out into an unknowably vast darkness and realizing with slowly spreading terror that the very same infinite nothingness is reflected back upon your very soul.
Yes! This goes triple if you have Allstate.
Amen. Furthermore, "Aks" *used* to be correct. We used to say "hwat" for "what" (and and say "hwom" for "whom". Language is always evolving, especially English which is really just a complicated European patois.
Am I doing it right?

Right. I bought a house last year— applied for the loan in August, closed in September, and my first mortgage payment wasn't due until November. A woman on maternity leave when she applies for the loan is likely already to be back at work by the time the first mortgage bill arrives. This is just silly.
Funny that every other nation in the damn world is able to offer more paid leave and other benefits for women and still make a profit. Kindly fuck off with your terrible opinion.
I once saw an article (now I can't find it, it was several years ago) about how in countries outside of the US, there are social conservative parties that are also what we would call liberal on economic issues. The idea is that they value "traditional families" so they want economic policies to support a traditional…
On the one hand, I agree. But then thinking about the flip side, most women on maternity leave are legally guaranteed their jobs and salaries back within a certain period, whereas there's nothing to prevent me from quitting my job to become a "lady who lunches" the day after I close on my mortgage. Seems like it…
This is exactly why you need paid maternity leave. I bought my house this year while on my year long paid maternity leave. I just needed a letter from my work confirming I was on maternity leave, what my salary was and that I would be returning to work on a certain date. There was maybe a little more hassle…
The advantage of this method appears to be that you can tell whether a particular good or service is expensive for the area that you're visiting, NOT as a method of calculating the cost of the good or service in USD. This would be most useful in the abstract when dealing with a relatively unique good (entry into a…
That's the point, though, isn't it? By not giving a qualifier on "top scorer," you are automatically including women AND men. By giving the qualifier, men's, you are simply acknowledging that they are two completely different tournaments. Unless I'm way off base, I didn't interpret the author's desire to co-mingle…
Ever consider that maybe men dominate those particular sports BECAUSE of the kind of culture that refers to men's leagues as THE league. You said it yourself that the US has invested much more in women's soccer than others and that that has resulted in a drastically better crop of players. Imagine if our culture truly…
I partially agree and partially disagree with your arguments.
People also said Meb Keflezighi was the first American to win the Boston Marathon since 1983 (even though a woman won it in 1985), and people said Andy Murry was the first British Wimbledon champ in the open era (even though Virginia Wade won in 1977).
So places with high male crime rates and military populations.
As someone with a degree in linguistics and a particular fondness of sociolinguistics, I just want to say that linguistically speaking there is nothing wrong with using ax (aks) instead of ask. The term in linguistics we use to refer to this phenomenon is metathesis which can basically be boiled down to the switching…
