  • This was written by a doctor making assumptions about people who didn’t become doctors. I grew up in gifted classes all through elementary and high school, and have a challenging and rewarding career. I have a handful of hobbies that I keep up with until I lose interest and find new ones.

    This is a stereotype which tries to find people living on the niche extremes to make fun of what the author feels is their inadequacy compared to his own circumstances.




  • I actually am still using the gear in the link above. The two person tent in my list is really like one and a half person, so big enough for me to sit up and move around in to clean up at night. My gossamer gear bamboo spoon got moldy, so I threw it away and got a long handled titanium spoon from Garage Grown Gear, but besides that everything has just worked for me.


  • Honestly the real issue here from my point of view is Nexstar and Sinclair, who have the market and clout to force ABC to comply. But instead of calling for a boycott of the two companies putting on the pressure, everyone is concentrating on the company who’s getting pressured and caving. It takes a long time to get a constitutional law case to SCOTUS, which ABC would clearly and easily win, but they would lose a $6.2 Billion dollar merger deal in the mean time. As much as people like to pretend that these companies work for us, they work for the shareholders. And stonks only go up or the CEO and the board have to find new jerbs.

    I’m not defending what they’re doing or that they caved at all, just providing an easily downvotable alternate point of view.
