Yeah, I've felt like they are one of the few outlets that still does any actual research or investigation into the topic of their articles.

The proof of that fact can be found in things like the Pepys diary. Dude was stoked about his cool watch, and his dalliance with an actress.

The major problem with this kind of pattern is you're looking to establish edge-case boundaries, rather than the most broadly applicable standard. The attempt to document and "solve for every case just leads to overly complicated and disingenuous discussions. Our fascination and obsession with "accuracy and precision" as applied to human behavior is one that breaks down very quickly unless you're attempting to be hyper-rational, at which point, any rules assigned to human behavior break down.

In short, "use your best judgement."

Note: I think that we have passed the golden moment where "human judgement" had any kind of value. There was a long time where we (all humanity) were stumbling in the dark, and we have now stepped back into that cave. But for a brief, shining moment, the percentage of people who had critical reasoning skills was growing, and it was majestic.

Put your cart back when you're done shopping.

Nice try, 24601

I would say "inside of the knee," if I'm reading the context right.

See? Criminiminiminal activity!

Authenticated cheese is the answer to the question, "what is the blockchain really good for, other than laundering money?"

Why is this a "shitpost," this is amazing!!!!

What's the current over/under on her being outed in the next six months with an underage cheerleader, and having to apologize deeply to her family and constituents while continuing on her mission to destroy our country?

My first thought when looking at the headline was, "Devout should be in quotation marks."

“The Ultimate Cheek Clapper”

At the time, the "Supermarket Scanner" story painted a picture that, while blown out of proportion, is a truth about the way some people interact with the world when they have money and power. They don't see the same things that I do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarket_scanner_moment

Sometimes "getting your foot in the door" takes more than a foot.

I hadn’t, but I was nervous given how many of the reboots and extension series attempts seemed to miss the mark. Maybe I should give it a try, anyway.

Gah! Now I need to go watch Dark Crystal again. That's such a good movie, and I recently watched Labyrinth. I'll cue it up, and then stick Brazil right behind.

It still is hard to save up $5000.

I kinda wish I had cause to shop there so I could very vocally share how this is losing them customers, but I haven’t needed to set foot in one of their stores for years now.

My wife and I both identify with this comment. The best kind of reading.
