    You really think that the USSR of the early 1940s could have fought that era's Germany and Japan at once? What about the comments by no less than Admiral Zhukov himself acknowledgi…

    I don't see why, given that looking through Google Maps seems to suggest that it's at least as common as not... Let me just step back and observe that this is possibly the worst wa…

    It seems extremely unfair. Rather than focusing on the content, you're criticizing tone. It comes off as a structured tactic, given that famous image of Mudge with unkempt hair in …

    It's interesting that in the countries where it seems to be less common, everyone assumes that displaying flags outside of schools is a US-only thing, when spot checks of Google Ma…

    This seems like a bad comparison. Hanging from cranes isn't a form of criminal assault that some people experience, as "being assaulted in the USA" is. It's a form of standardized …

    Germany is less surprising to me, given the history involved. Based on what I am looking into on Google Maps, however, it hardly seems to be a phenomenon confined to the US, and at…

    >It's certainly not normal in my country for schools to display the country's motto or flag Wow, really? Can I ask what country? In my state it's illegal for the leader of a school…

    Why is it odd that regulations would require public schools to display the motto of the United States, or the flag of the United States, or any of that? These things seem like exac…

    The only honest answer I can give there is, "I don't know". So far as I'm aware, Twitter hasn't alleged that, no evidence has been presented supporting such an allegation, and gene…

    Mudge is to cybersecurity as Orson Welles is to film. That's not hyperbole.

    I don't think you understand how poorly attacking Mudge's character or insinuating that he's driven by some unethical ulterior motive is going to work out. Mudge is... he's Mudge. …

    There seems to be the impression that "waiving due diligence" in an acquisition is some license for the seller to defraud the potential buyer without recourse. If Mudge's allegatio…
