Can you think of something that's sufficiently 'disproven' so as to make those labels appropriate?

So you know if it works in space.

And here I thought this was a prime example of it 'happening'.

In what sense is pink the worst color? I rather like it. I like purple better—more regal—but pink is a fine color. And pink is only the color of breast cancer, not all cancer, sinc…

Do you have a problem with all privately funded art? Because every private entity that funds a work of art has an agenda. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the artist…

I wish this kind of stuff was being resurfaced more aggressively in the face of all of this absurd backlash about 'the meaning' of a piece of public art.

The thing is, once you put a piece of art out there, you give up control over what that piece 'means'. Di Modica's bull meant one thing to him when he made it. Now it means million…

I have a hard time imagining how Apple Store level service wouldn't be a big improvement over what I currently receive. Also there's nothing routine I do at the Apple Store that re…

Boy this sounds familiar. It's not just banks; many state (and presumably federal) angencies have this exact problem. The agency I work for now has a large COBOL code base that's b…

Just the cost of a computer and internet access. Which I pay for with money from...where, exactly?

Seriously. Every day I go in I think about how much more productive I could be if I could literally shut out distractions with a real live door.

Honestly I don't see how it's any different than a prospective employer running a background check on me, which has been a relatively common practice since before google achieved u…

What an excuse. He describes a very poor practice that they still failed to follow.

My experience with old people is they take a shocking amount of time to consider googling something or they have me google it for them.

Some people just don't take kindly to being tricked.

So is Smalltalk a joke language now?

So who will survive? And what will death look like for those who don't?

So is it time to kill myself yet?

Louis CK edits his show on a MacBook. I don't know if you consider that serious, but it's a pretty good show.

Just because it's always been irrational doesn't mean it isn't especially irrational now.

Best short term economic interests, maybe. But building a reputation as brilliant whitehat surely confers significant economic benefits as well.

To the parent's point, it's probably generally considered slightly 'cooler' to work at In-N-Out than at McDonald's. In-N-Out certainly seems to be trendier amongst young people tha…

I'm still not convinced the Classic has ever actually been on a store shelf.

TFA is literally all about how GFM is based on the CommonMark spec.
