I'd always thought I was a good person. Now I wasn't sure. Laughed out loud at this part. "It wasn't until my interviewer for a position at The Torture Center questioned my unflinc…

I'd love to see some proof that any of the wild claims made are remotely factual. I don't want to donate to charity (I have my own reasons for that, don't ask) Although they manage…

Capitalism is the most efficient economic system.

The article, your comment and the argument they make, that this effect -- if it exists -- should be highly visible across all strata of society, are taking a ton of assumptions for…

Fuck the "bipartisan plan". M4A now.

Imagine if we lived in a society where these stories were about housing startups, not hotel startups. Food production startups instead of food packaging startups. Public infrastruc…

Doubtful; I make more money than you, and I only make high liquidity investments, so I came away looking pretty nice the last time (too young to have made any money from 2008 thoug…

Never read my posts again lol

Sounds miserable -- maybe just get a job you enjoy instead of eating lentils every day so that you can squirrel away an extra $3 into a retirement account? Either way, enjoy watchi…

What is the point of saying someone can "speak" a language, much less claiming they're "fluent"? These are the most useless, nebulous definitions. You can spend an entire life lear…
