ETHICAL short sellers. Reddit is after naked short sellers. Big difference.

Someone previously illustrated sceneries where the algorithm hiccupped on your data and erroneously labeled you as a pedophile and/or terrorist (at the same time!). If you think ab…

"I still despise it..." - you seriously did not understand that statement? And you took it to mean his own INTERNALIZED struggle?

In addition to all you said, you mentioned your car...do they also pay you for your commute time? Of course not. Say you have a 1hr each way...2 hours/day, 5 days/week, 48 weeks/ye…

I do this too! It's especially great when I'm starting to doze but don't want a full nap...I can hop up and do a set of whatever . After that, I'm good to go!

There is an excellent lecture on this topic: "Jonathan Haidt: The Coddling of the American Mind" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b3Ob4CK4Xs (a little over an hour) The lecture inc…

Can you take your Bitcoin out of Robinhood? Of course not. You do not actually own any Bitcoin at Robinhood. There's the "middleman" in your scenario without a middleman...just a d…

If all they are doing is allowing color changes and slight UI tweaks (and the undo button), why not take a page from online gaming's playbook and just sell cosmetics? There is pret…

But that is the whole point of the parent. Who is to say it is a "propaganda effort"? FB/TW/YT? Why? How would they know (unless they were part of that effort, ironically)?

"Whenever someone like me gets called a "white supremacist" for defending someone's right to post a job opportunity without being subject to attack, it devalues a term whose meanin…

I find it fascinating that Hollywood is doubling down on this type of writing after it's been shown to drive away audiences.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around how skewed a poll taken by "a diversity consultancy" would conclude that: "... two-thirds of adults in America want to be able to discuss rac…

But isn't that the grandparent's whole point? If you can't take being called "soft" or a "wussy", you ARE...and need to toughen up...ignore trite insults, and be able to withstand …

One word: Ouroboros

Perhaps...but then you've mis-categorized the person as an introvert when they are actually socially awkward or, as you say, they have: "...poor social skills and lack of impact." …
