> I'm sincerely sorry for publishing something that has allowed you to feel this way. What fresh hell is this? If this is human then I wish it was AI

The thing about the two women crawling on the road at night is the stuff of nightmares. I once saw two women - a mother and daughter - drunkenly rolling on the road at a major junc…

What's interesting to me is that the examples he gives are beautiful because of their sincerity. Even if there is artifice, or they're being formal or playful, their style reflects…

There's no type for People which I would have thought has provided some of the all time high scoring submissions.

Well I agree but clearly some people have ambiguous motives...they want to do what gives them joy but also a little bit in their heart they want to impress

Because, in practice, it turns telling people what they want to hear into a first-class virtue. >> "We told him about how our land had been stolen and our people were dying. When w…

I've been thinking about the expression "Reading the Room" for the last ten years. I've come to the conclusion finally that it is extremely pernicious.

One of the problems I've encountered is that the people who do speak up, by their very nature, don't do so in a way that has a chance of being heard. Even the phrase "speak up" sug…
