The most delicious hole in the wall Japanese place I used to eat at had a C. I asked them why. They told me they were scheduled for an inspection and their sink broke that day. was it true? I dunno, but I certainly never got food poisoning there, unlike the A rated place just down the street.
Same here. If I'm grading a 1-5 scale, you don't get a 1 unless you try to murder me, and you don't get a 5 unless i leave your company hoping you'll run for president and save the country. It's always seemed stupid to me that with five choices, we're forced into only 2, and the other three are wasted.
Years ago, in college, when rating women my ratings were always too low. I explained : 5 is the middle, I go from there. My roommates used the "7 is a C, that's the middle".
Good lord people, trolling isn't hard if everyone bites at the racist stuff. It's like fishing and knowing every fish will hit on a certain kind of bait.
I used to think that, as a kid, in California- the midwest sucked and we were the chosen few. Then I grew up. I realized that the friends I knew who moved there were HAPPIER. Not from McMansions, or from the weather, but from the lack of traffic/annoyance/your attitude prevalent in California. They could afford trips, visiting nature, doing things that made them happy. In other words: Not having to deal with you.
Am I the only one who sees this going horribly, horribly wrong for Amazon? Fake tweets along the lines of : "Today my gruel had two raisins instead of none!" "They've cut down the standard fifty lashes to only 40!". "Now that we're using the Celsius temperature scale, I feel much more comfortable at 40 degrees!"
Your answer to people expressing libertarian tendencies is to cut off their head? Which is somehow not as bad as slavery? I guess that makes sense: the people you dislike get killed. Except that nonsense has been going on for thousands of years and hasn't yielded much yet.
But recently, anytime some moron is dangerously tailgating me trying to get around me, they have a Lyft/Uber sticker on the car. I don't think they speed with passengers in the car, but getting to pickups drive like madmen.
As long as the economy kept cranking along, no problems. I'm worried where they'll go once they realize you can't grow forever. People put up with dictators as long as their situation is improving enormously. when that stops...
So then why are maps from american airlines changing their Taiwan labelling? Don't believe the within china nonsense., they're getting everyone to censor themselves. PS: Xi Jinping looks like Pooh.
So you've essentially described a group of people occupying roughly the upper end of a bell curve. What do you do with the 25-50% of the population on the lower end that can't do this? Because if you let them get poor and desperate, they're certainly capable of bashing your head in and taking your stuff. The world is fully of people who are probably in the 90% IQ range: Just slightly less smart than average. They're not bad, they're not lazy, they're not useless: but they are incapably of doing a lot of mental heavy lifting often required of the tasks listed above.
Why? He's pushing space exploration, and other technologies. While I don't myself own a Tesla, I don't understand the Hate. Is he a showman? Yeah. Name one really front page executive who wasn't.
No, i reject public transport because a public transport ride to my work takes FOUR HOURS, while awful city driving in grinding traffic takes two. If that was reversed, I'd have my butt on a bus seat every day.
Company presidents come up with stupid ideas and justify them all the time by saying nobody objects. You're the president, you moron. Nobody is going to object to your pet project unless they want to get fired, demoted, or put on the eternal "troublemaker" list.

Oh, paper straws exist. and do the job. barely.
You may as well ban cars because bicycles made out of bamboo exist.
but officer, I'm telling you, that glass straw has nothing to do with drugs! I'm using it to save the environment!

Actually, the image immediately made me think of "Alan Wake", which takes place in a town called Bright Falls.
I would, except for this:

Comparing mass transit in Tokyo and Mass transit in Los Angeles is like comparing a Mercedes and a kid's kick scooter.
Because it doesn't work. When you're taking a train to a bus to a train and waiting 40 minutes between legs, it doesn't work.

I came to this Article expecting. "But the study is wrong, I blame Big Tobacco! it's a conspiracy!".
I found it.
This argument has been essentially disproven for years. Remember the whole "But if we engage China, they will become more open."?
Instead, they just became wealthier with more resources and skills for oppression.
Probably the one where you get aborted when you're the wrong gender.
You could always replace it with that grain of rice they're always talking about. ...
