Take a look at that YouTuber's channel[1] and tell me with a straight face that using terms like "antics" and "contrary opinions" accurately describes what she's doing or the posit…

I refuse to believe Candid Camera did anything as heinous as harassing people for their religion and ethnicity and then making a show out of going to their place of worship to "jus…

Did you watch the video? The officer's words: "The local community walks around here without any fear, I walk around here without any fear." She's a professional provocateur with a…

In the US, there's a legitimate propaganda effort to paint Europe as a den of "Islamic terrorism". You'll see these talking points echoed online, in memes, by politicians and on TV…

Have worked on one such project, can confirm that these exist.

Plenty of entrepreneurs have made a lot of money chasing fads. Web 2.0, NoSQL, microservices, etc.

> Guides like this serve no purpose other than to fatten vocabularies and promote the "brand" of people who aren't actually doing the work (speakers, educators, etc). Yep. They're …

I've encountered a trend of B&M and big retailers carrying counterfeit hair & body care products over the last two years.

Why assume an alien species would value contact?

I use a separate phone number and email when looking for work for this reason. Some agencies and recruiters will not stop.

How would this affect law enforcements ability to use data they bought from telcos?

To be honest, everyone would have been better off if coal extraction remained a manual process.

Machines will never comply with "Can I please have more than the two ketchup packets that management woefully let's you give me?" or "How are you doing?"

Seems like it's in the interests of the owners to automate, not in the interests of those who work jobs that will be automated.

Are there professionals who use an iPad for the majority of their work beyond sending emails and interacting with web apps/their mobile clients? I rarely see the people who bought …

I've run into a few issues with the Early to Mid 2015 Macbook fans. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I've seen it across three machines.

Just a note about United: their directory of in-network medical professionals is, frankly, horrible. If a doctor formerly took UHC, and no longer does, they will stay in their dire…
