This is hands down one of the most depressing articles I've read in recent memory.

Not that worse things haven't happened recently, just that the people in this article are despicable in a way that leaves me feeling defeated. Christ, not a single woman who needed help in that article got help, and the people put in place to help them told them "don't show off your shoulders, slut" and then intentionally filed it away in a manner that shows as "no sexual harassment complaints since 2001". Fuckinf hell

And that's what I think they're failing to measure. I think they're unable to accurately divorce the increase in sales from other incentives/market forces, and so they're just doing what they've been doing regardless of actual merit, or the merit is being improperly evaluated

I was just talking about this the other day. I think Coke and some companies have reached a saturation point that makes advertisements useless.

I dont know if we have any data to model off of, but I'd love to see if their profits dip by any meaningful amount if they stopped advertising for 3 months straight. Let the movie theaters, and the restaurants, and the culturally embedded soft drink preferences do their thing and see if the dial moves.

I think his math is bad because he just went with a cool round number.

But, more realistically, she was probably going somewhere between 55-70 mph (don't know road or highway or whatever) and that's still a difference of 70-90 miles an hour. So I'd say yeah, the seat check MIGHT prevent harm if you're super duper lucky but I don't think that baby's walking away from that with anything less than life threatening injuries

There must be people with great ideals, someone who will choose the high road as often as possible. Just as there must be people who know that the system cannot change from within, that it must be torn apart and began anew.

I like the concept, minus the real life examples of Magneto-minded dictators and violent revolutionaries. I think having that balance gives the average person, the reader, the opportunity to see the places where an idealist fails and where an extremist goes too far and how to walk a path closer to the middle.

Oh I must have misread, thought he was saying michigan stadium was on the same league as the pyramids

You commented some really cool things, and then mentioned the 34th biggest sports venue (3rd largest stadium).what's significant about Michigan stadium?

Suing the companies for engaging in a contract that is legally dicey (potentially trafficking), not the drivers who drove the busses

What the fuck is this picture though? Who is taking these? What do they mean?

Pocket-knife-prying-open-floorboards crazy. Biggest asshole I've ever read about crazy.

Took me about 7 seconds of thinking before I realized you meant Mars. Couldn't remember a God named Pepsi for the life of me.

I have nothing to add to your comment other than the fact that your text person clearly has a large nose and I think that's a stylistic choice and I appreciate that as someone who also has a large nose.

Oh, and fuck Putin.
