I don't know a single solitary soul (male or female) who thinks that is "ok". Just sayin'

Surely Lisbeth Salander makes up for all of this?

Always a sign of sloppy thinking.

You need to look closely at your spending habits and priorities, not to mention your humanity.

That what I thought, an insomniac that fell asleep, or someone with sleep apnea that was sleep deprived, something like that.

My first computer was a KayPro IV, which I distinctly remember buying in 1982 in spite of what Wikipedia says. I was going to write the great American novel using *Wordstar!

Im all seriousness I wish someone would tell me more about conditions at Amazon (yes, I have Googled and i don't like what I see). My extremely taciturn step-son (not the brightest lad either, sorry) works in the food warehouse. I strongly suspect that the conditions there are very poor, but he won't enlighten me. He also got conned into a 4-day a week 10 hours shift (which translates into 12 hours with unpaid lunch break and travel) but gets called in because he is needed to work another day EVERY SINGLE WEEK. He's exhausted and he is an extremely fit man in his early 20s. I'm very worried about this.

I haven't read every post here, so I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out; but Bannon does not appear to even know what the definition of "civic society" even is. It's certainly not what he is framing it to mean in this assertion. What he means of course is "culture" but he wisely decided (probably at the last minute) that using that term would be a bit too much and might smack of intellectual elitism and just alarm the meatheads that he was trying to communicate with by flashing one of their buzz-words. So his mind veered and faltered and settled on "civic society" (which is really not what he saying - a civic society is a voluntary body or society with civic aims). This is only one of many crimes against language perpetrated by him and really all of the Trump camp puppet heads. Never have I seen such a low level of erudition in a group of public servants, and given that I am from New Orleans that is saying something. In Bannon's case it probably has more with his being a drunk and thus unable to actually concentrate (look at his face, look at his disheveled demeanor, read the gin blossoms in his cheeks - he's hard core); expect much more of this nonsense. I keep hoping that I will find someplace where the discourse instead of just reacting to this kind of puffery attempts to deconstruct it logically. I haven't found that place yet. If it needs saying, my Comment Subject Line is mean to b a funny.

I just want to register someplace how mystified I am that not one single living soul seems to have the foggiest idea what the word "existential" even means; yet I seem to see and hear it everywhere I go. This Musk person seems to be no exception. It seems to be a generational thing too, because while Boomers (for example) or GenXers don't know either - at least they don't use the word every time they are expressing themselves and attempting to appear intelligent.

What the hell?

There is a Fight Club joke in here somewhere, but I haven't the heart to find it. Poor man. "'Star Trek' actor Anton Yelchin's SUV was recalled in April over rollaway risk" http://www.latimes.com/local/l...

Ha, same at our house. We haven't watched regular TV in more than a decade.

exactly

This what I love about this site, someone here is intelligent enough to explain this. (thanks)
