If you went to work every day and were verbally and physically intimidated by your team, full of larger people making racist and sexist comments against you. Then when you tried to…

This is a very poorly worded headline. Also, the author of this article criticizes the original article for playing fast and loose with facts. But then takes an unsubstantiated cla…

I agree with most of your points. I would add that when you put a person in a position that you have asked them for input, they will feel pressured to give SOME kind of input, whet…

If you live in a society that does not hear your voice, there are ways to make that voice heard as long as the society remains free. Eventually, over time, that voice might resonat…

Certainly, it seems appealing and, worse, people feel disenfranchised when they see polls that show the majority of people support something while the government rejects it (becaus…

Came to the comments to post this, so thanks for beating me to it. Any time someone says they have "the secret," they are selling you something. And more often than not, there's a …

Yeah, he's obviously just trying to get the biography rolling since he fears he won't be able to soon. Not some secret "go" word or something.

Governments censor. Private institutions editorialize. If the NYT chooses not to print an op-ed you send them, it is NOT censorship. If the United States government forces the NYT …

Agreed. This whole phenomenon was reported on widely after "Avatar" came out. News anchors gleefully reporting that people left the theater feeling depressed their world wasn't as …

It's pretty hard to secure a border crossing in a country, let alone an entire planet. Planets are noted for, among other things, being rather large.

Except the economy is becoming more globalized and many people's jobs have them working at odd times anyway. I used to work 4pm-1am EST and so my schedule aligned more closely with…

I came here to post this after reading the article. These clickbaity headlines using ill-conceived methodologies are going to doom us all to the pits of misinformation. There are n…

Another one to add in is "Buzzword Chasing." I've been a part of a startup where we were growing our core product at a reasonable rate and having success. But some of our customers…

People retrospectively don't like it because it didn't live up to some of what the trailers promised (in terms of how large or open the city was) and the dimension tearing mechanic…

The number cited in the article is probably limited to a certain release-based window.

I played through the whole original Freedom Force when it was originally released. Loved it. Didn't go for the "Third Reich" expansion because I was not super interested in more WW…

The "Confident Jerk" gets the girl mythos comes from men who are just plain jerks but believe themselves to be nice. When confronted with rejection from women, they rely on this my…

Most of the time it's just called "parenthood."

Those delights are so overpriced as to be insulting. Really hard to enjoy some scrambled eggs when they cost $13.

It isn't that I hold myself responsible. It is that my association within the group called 'men' is frustrated by the behavior and attitudes of many of those whom I encounter. I al…

I support this discourse and hope the author of the original article will feel confident to write again. I have no idea how to solve the monstrous problems related to internet hara…

This is such a pernicious justification for CEO compensation. You don't need to "jump to another CEO role" to continue to be fabulously wealthy. Failing spectacularly as a CEO ofte…

Yeah, that tracks with reality... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Hayward :P

If you buy a house in the $227k range on a $55k income (With NO insurance and NO property taxes, the monthly payment would be ~$1,736.53), you will have to live very carefully to g…

Or more accurately: "Isn't it hard to get noticed on the App Store? We made an app for that." This is basically just an advertisement, not much useful information in it.
