Something is wrong with the whole system of how people are compensated for their work; a Starbucks employee shouldn’t have to rely upon the good graces of their customers (tips) to…

I’m sorry for both of you. I thank you for your words. As someone who’s right behind you in line, your words mean more to me (and hit harder, and cut deeper) than I expect they do …

Thank you for this, it’s stirred up a considerable amount of thought in me, but I would also say that my immediate reaction is that > its own pre-action thoughts and the following …

I didn't have any symptoms until it was stage 4. I developed a kind of crackling in my right lung when I breathed, so I got it checked out.

No problem, I don't mind talking about it. It was stage 4 when it was detected. Right lung, pleura, up my lymph nodes to the opposite side. There was a lot of it. And I've had Ster…

No but since I'm a patient at Dana Farber in Chestnut Hill, I'm sure my oncologist does.

I wish you could remember more, I'd like to listen to that

The biggest thing people who have lost someone close to them have to say is that they start to forget what the person looked like and sounded like. I am doing it - I think if you k…

Up until Con Air, neither Nicholas Cage nor John Cusack had made a bad movie (well, -maybe- one each).

It’s not the getting to lucid dreaming that’s the problem, it’s the “oh! I’m dreaming!” part. Wakes me up every time. That and I have dreams about flying, but as soon as I realize …

I think also in some respects Altered Carbon, the Netflix series (at least the first season).

A Michael Mann film, no less! An all-around great piece of cinema.

I had a similar experience in SO, I used the term "the most bulletproof-y way I can think of" or something like that in my answer, definitely used "bulletproof-y." Someone responde…
