I use Sublime every day and have for the last year. Before that, I was using free editors that were ok but had some annoying weaknesses. $80 doesn't seem like all that much for a p…

It does though. Things were quite different when the constitution was written. The federal government was never supposed to wield absolute power over the states. "...consent of the…

Do you remember something called the "Revolutionary War"? It was an event in history that happened when the people who wrote the 2nd amendment fought the British government for con…

When a consensus is reached among the governed that the government no longer represents them. Admission on the part of the government is not expected or necessary.

Belize is awesome, they like foreigners with money, nice climate year around, and they have far fewer laws than we do.

It's long-form journalism and I think it's perceived to have more value than bullet-point style reporting. While there can be value in long-form stories, 98% of the time I just wan…

Radioshack TRS-80, later an Apple IIC Plus that was the computer I first really started learning on.

I would have helped you. But I'm categorically insane.

It really has nothing to do with biological sex. It has to do with our culture and society.

However it's done, it's my opinion that a couple should come to an understanding about practical and mundane details of their life situation before making serious commitments. It s…

Term is used incorrectly to lambast half of the human species. It's not nitpicking to expect someone to use words correctly.

Spot on. Meanwhile the guy is working his ass off to try to make her happy, and she's complaining about "emotional labor", whatever the hell that is.

Maybe he's never going to give a shit because her expectations are just too high. American women have sky high expectations.

Yes, or at the very least, slow down to a reasonable speed instead of weaving in and out among the pedestrians. It's incredibly disorienting to have someone fly right by you at 20m…

I love biking and I'm a cyclist myself. But I once lived in a small mountain town where it seemed like a big percentage of the cyclists there had an attitude of entitlement about h…

We don't treat websites like documents anymore. Instead they're interfaces. The old document style is much more readable.

I don't disagree. I feel like I'm caught in the middle. I personally prefer the old internet where websites could have simple design and typography and still be perceived to have v…

That sounds awesome except for that fact that my customers refuse to use modern browsers that support modern CSS features. GRRR.

Sounds like a lot more fun than the game "laser eyes" that we used to play when pointers became common in the 90s.

I read somewhere recently that their revenue is ~1 million annually from ads and affiliate links. I can't remember the source.

If a minister teaches practices and beliefs that are in opposition to the scripture that defines Christianity, is he Christian? This is clearly not a True Scotsman scenario. I can'…
