Social approval, socialization expectations, etc. As far as capitalists care, your productivity, predictability, and sociability are what's important. HS diplomas are not uniform. …

Cycling on shared roads is far too dangerous for ordinary people. I bike to work each day. I have been fortunate enough over the years to not be hit by a car. Almost every serious …

The norm that creatives should be accessible at all times directly from Twitter or whatever is an extremely new one. The norm that people should use the internet all the time to so…

Addict.

Technically, the US is supposed to be allied with most of those EU member governments. Violating the security of your allies isn't exactly a friendly move.

And American policy regarding spying on private people worldwide isn't bad for international relations? Isn't bad for relations with China? Isn't harmful to American businesses see…

This is the real method by which Team Government encourages compliance. It'd be a real shame to see that tax loophole that you rely on closed. Nice company you got there. Would be …

I'll be sorely disappointed in myself if I'm not on the list.
