Collateral Damage posted:Oh yeah, there's a lot of cargo culting in the startup biz. But generally it's done to cut costs regardless of the buzzword-filled motivation for it. That or so management can more easily look over everybody's shoulders all the time. Humans are also kind if territorial and having MY cube satisfies that. Yeah coworkers can come by if they need me but the cube wall clearly delineates my cube from the rest of the office. Open plans take that away.

Reddit is awful because it promotes conformity and appealing to the masses. Also that new gorillaz song is loving awful and i own all their previous albums, i used to spam their original self titled while playing team fortress classic so i am something of an authority figure on the subject.

Benjamin Clementine has a really great voice but there's something about his accent/pronunciation that I find weirdly off-putting.

Trump is actually bad and there are very real reasons to consider him at least nominally illegitimate since he lost the popular vote by so much. Some of it is sour grapes on the left, sure, but if the boycott of the inauguration and subsequenr demonstrations turn in to action against the electoral college, then great.

They are figureheads for the public to display their vitriol towards. People are deluded if they think one person is making important decisions to shape the face of an entire nation. Its like getting mad at a lead actor because the sound quality on a film is crappy.

Do you think John Kerry/Al Gore/Obama would have invaded Iraq? One guy getting elected president reverberates through his cabinet picks, nominating supreme court, etc.

There's nothing wrong with vaping. As long as you're not one of those douches that uses a modified oxygen tank or whatever to try and make the area you're in look like Silent Hill.

I'm skeptical of non mammalian pets, because non mammals don't like getting hugged and petted. What's the point of a pet if you're not gonna hug and pet it?
