So a lot of philosophical writing references a sort of general canon, at least as far as western thinking is concerned. Other traditions I'm sure have their own details but I can't…

While not as cool as getting this done in 1969 with people I think it's nice to see that this sort of thing is happening at all these days. As contentious as things have been latel…

I wouldn't normally click into an article with this title/source but your comment led me to do so on a whim. I don't often finish reading long-form and think "that was a great way …

Here is UHS statement: https://ir.uhsinc.com/news-releases/news-release-details/uni...

You need to be motivated more than athletic. Basic PFT standards are not extravagant; not everyone in the army is in a Ranger Battalion.

Please post some contact information. No idea what your geography is but I am very interested in chatting with you about some roles that I have that may be very well aligned to the…

I don't know that the purpose is promoting understanding of popular political issues, but it definitely seems to me that work of this kind is fashionable to celebrate in literary c…

No argument with what you're saying, but on a personal level I can't stand Anna, the character. Reminds me too much of a rather unfortunate ex, and ruins the story for me.

:facepalm:. Yea that makes much, much more sense. My bad.

Definitely seemed intentional--see also the bit about all of the patrol boats getting painted at once when they figured out that water was the primary avenue of escape.

Your comment is literally the first time in my life that I have seen the words "teachers get paid well" in what seems to me to be a serious fashion. Someone quoted below that the h…

I think it's possible for an additional tax dollar to help people, for sure. But it seems unreasonable to assume that a positive tax revenue delta will manifest in useful or well-m…

I largely agree with the points you are making, however I think there's a fundamental difference in the carpenter analogy: regardless of the type of screwdriver used there is no ma…

There's something positive to be said for intellectual honesty--if not on the cruise ship, in the writeup.

I came across "elsagate" the other day and was unpleasantly not surprised by what it means. As a father of two young children this is a tough one--I'm 100% pro free speech, especia…

I know, right?? Some real gems: pg. 21: Emotive forces shape the gestalt of the brand identity. Actually no, the whole thing is patently absurd. Wow. What the fuck? Apparently this…

While this is true, I still experience a little of that early-exposure-to-the-Internet sense of wonder when I stumble across a community that's off the beaten path technologically.…

I don't think your two points are mutually exclusive, and suspect they are both correct to one degree or another. I live in a second-tier city working for a second-tier company and…

In a way--my question boils down to why this was written in the first place. Engaging with literary criticism is an invitation to perpetuate literary criticism :P

This seems silly to me--if an idea or subject _is_ difficult, then so be it. If something difficult to read is worth it to somebody, then that person will read it. I don't understa…

Amen. Overseas positive identification and rules of engagement were drilled into our heads constantly, driven home by threats of prosecution for murder/war crimes if you got it wro…

+1 for psychogeography. This is a cool comment, do you have any recommendations for books/essays in this vein beyond Guy Dubord? Edit: an => any typo

All hail the nanny-state.
