You don't need to cook when everything is pickled.

I drink, therefore I am?

In Amazon’s Killing My Sex Life, Romano famously said Amazon men offer “the kind of talk that shuts vaginas down cold.”

Can you imagine if a man wrote an op-ed about how work is killing his sex life because his female coworkers aren't successfully arousing him?

The writer also makes it clear she has nothing but contempt for the non-neurotypical she encounters. She could do with bit more empathy for those that struggle to master the complicated social rituals that come so easily to her.

First she complains that Amazon employee are too standoffish, passive, and boring. Then she complains that they're too entitled, confrontational, and intense. Which is it?

When a guy in an M1A1 "executes" a guy in a T-74, that's not's really "punishment" either.

So in your mind, the relationship between the Secret Service and the general public should be modeled on how the US military responds to an invading army?

So you think summary execution is the appropriate punishment for simple trespass?

Yes the status quo is better because in the status quo the PATRIOT Act automatically expires earlier than it would have under the "FREEDOM" Act.

You can't stop the abuses of authorized by the PATRIOT Act by extending the deadline for its expiration. That was the true purpose of this bill: a trojan horse to renew that abomination by burying it in a bunch of beuracracy that does nothing to reign in the government.

The end goal is less than five minutes to dismantle a product.

And industrial shredder can dismantle a product in a second or two.

It might be an improvement in some ways; the machine doesn't have an ego and thus doesn't do stupid things out of an irrational need for retaliation.

I went through a big "red/blue glasses" 3D phase when I was a kid. I'm now 37 and to this day I have a slightly different color balance between my two eyes: if I look with only my right eye everything is slightly reddish and is I look with only my left eye everything is slightly bluish (this is, IIRC, the opposite of the lens). It's only noticeable if I specifically pay attention to it, but it appears to be permanent.

Sand is just ground up quartz. i.e. The second most common mineral in the earth's crust.

The article doesn't say though. Some neuroscientists argye that the initiation of action may preceed the initation of the perception of "willing it":

If that is the case, it could be there's a method of forcing movement that would be perceived as your own actions.

Is the "receiver" subjectively aware that the decision to move their hand was imposed from outside, or did it seem like their own spontaneous decisions? (Obviously they're rationally aware it's imposed since they have a giant machine strapped to their head, but what does it "feel like" from inside their mind?)

Nearly everything you do carries some risk of death with it. That's part of life.
