The craziest thing here is that online gambling has been legal in the UK and Ireland for many years, and it's been such an obvious negative for those countries — and had been optim…

If you're an employer who has let someone go, you would have to be mentally deficient to mention anything regarding their disability in relation to their employment or firing.

Twitter was not some sort of rest and vest retirement scheme — he worked as a design director there for years. You should read his followup thread for more context. You should also…

Apologies. In retrospect a comment that didn't add much.

It's the concept of monarchy I have a problem with. Not the UK in particular ( though your actions in Northern Ireland remain shameful).

There were admirable things about her as a person, but the concept of monarchy is a stain on humanity. I can't respect anyone who supports the idea of superiority by virtue of bloo…

Sad on a human level, but she spent her years as the figurehead of an inherently fascist, racist institution — royalty. "Whoever had created humanity had left in a major design fla…

We had the exact same structure in our town park, it was such a strange and amazing thing to climb around in!

I appreciate your viewpoint, but I want to push back on "this just happens in cities". The only other place I experienced this level of criminality was when I was living in South A…

I'm living in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Oakland, and I would definitely not consider it "fine". The area is beautiful, but we're plagued by gunpoint robberies, burglaries,…

The pencil has been iterated upon countless times, by a huge number of individuals and organisations. They also have a huge variety of forms for different uses and contexts: carpen…

"It eased gently into democracy several hundred years ago"? It's a shame it didn't extend that courtesy to my homeland, Ireland—we were one of those countries that had to wrest dem…

I used to have this problem—constant sweating from my armpits drove me crazy, and deodorant ruined so many shirts, despite trying multiple brands/types. Started using Dove+ antiper…
