  You can’t win an argument by being wrong. If you “lost” an argument it behooves you to at least consider the other person’s points. Two people can broth be right and still disagree.

  Me, I’ve never “lost” an argument. I’ve either made myself understood or I haven’t, and at some point that’s on the other person. And I’ve either come to understand the other person’s point or I haven’t, which again at some point is on them. But being the one to change your mind isn’t losing, it’s learning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it spelled "grey" or "gray"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No we don’t. Grey is the only way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does a woman get a pass when she wears low rise jeans or whatever but a high strung thong, if men did the equivalent they'd get shit for it? Why the double standard?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I see men with their pants halfway down their ass and their underwear showing every day. It was the style for awhile in the late 90’s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What comes after postmodernism?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  post liberalism?

  Unfortunately this one’s already here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Take the time to tailor your resume and cover letter for the jobs you want.

  Then spam away at everything else.

  Save your energy for the good ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do Janitors on movie sets get upset for when a scene causes the actors to make a mess and they have to come and clean it up?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be a job for the scene setters, not the custodians.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  you can’t make a simple calculator without JavaScript

  But you can make an overly-complicated one with PHP!

  /s it would actually still be simple just needing page reloads

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Many of the things JS is used for are better done with CSS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are American men leaving the workforce at historic rates?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s about to be! They’re already showing me, a millennial, articles about a “job cliff”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am running out of battery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Realistic options only, please, I’m in a similar situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does the word data mean per se ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Data is the plural of datum.

  A datum is an atom of information, the smallest amount of information that still makes sense.

  But in your case, it means “how many bytes we’re willing to transmit to your phone at high speed per month”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people don't compliment other people on great word usage? If someone use the word lets say ecclesiastical or something like that they do not get complimented it shows they respect English.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also all the intentional malapropisms and misspellings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people say "my taxes"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got bad news for anyone renting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if all birds sing and if they do why do geese honk, ducks quack, and chickens bawk?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not all birds sing well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It means you act like you don’t care what anyone thinks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You have an easy-to-remember name and you post the most based questions here every single day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are basically 4 types of files : text, image, audio and audio visual, right ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the would not look the same if you read them raw; much of a docx file is formatting and other metadata

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I get myself to actually do thing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  LMK if you figure it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Independents just embarrassed Republicans like Libertarians Apolitical and Moderates?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, no major party deserves any allegiance. I vote Democrat when the candidate is good enough and not running against someone better, sure, but if they want my vote they have to earn it every time. Same with the Greens (though they tend to only field candidates who are qualified in local races) same with the Republicans (though they tend to not field candidates who are qualified) or any other party.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would the US (if not the entire world) be better if that kid didn't break in to Harambe's enclosure over in the Cincinnati Zoo back in 2016?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally think things took a turn after whatever dark forces the Chicago Cubs contracted with to evade their righteous and longstanding curse, but I guess the Harambe thing happened “first”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you found out that your son had actually been extremely wealthy for years, and you only found out decades later, how would you react?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be proud. I’ve raised a child that was successful, discreet, humble, and frugal. That’s a win in my book.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same reason we accepted living further and further away from amenities. Cars are a self-reinforcing malady.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They won’t exist in the same form. They’re not profitable to run as the are and any likely improvements will come from a narrowing of focus.

  But more likely they just get replaced by the next fad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any free game like net hack ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  • DCCS

  • Brogue

  • Dwarf Fortress classic version (available from the Bay12 website)

  • ADoM (Ancient Domains of Mystery)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it legal for a webpage who get money by clicks life the photo's of alleged lawbreakers and put it on their site without pay the person in the picture anything? Is this also no jury biasing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of a hard left turn there at the end, that would fall under “involuntary pornography” which is illegal in some places.

  But the rest, yeah, we need to have this be legal to have a free press. Civil suits are the remedy for people affected in this way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it legal for a webpage who get money by clicks life the photo's of alleged lawbreakers and put it on their site without pay the person in the picture anything? Is this also no jury biasing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the criminal justice system sucks for innocent people suspected of crimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, chemistry was never my strongest subject, but IIRC photosynthesis is about producing sugars, and it’s plant respiration that captures carbon. But the energy in coal (which powers most electricity production worldwide) and oil is stored in hydrocarbons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s just super nifty and I look forward to finding out what’s possible in the field. Imagine server powered by photosynthesis. That’d be awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they’re Christian they do. But so are all women. Everyone. It’s a basic tenet of the faith that everyone is sinful but everyone is capable of redemption.

  The person could sue for defamy, but they’d have to prove the website was publishing false information.
