Probably one of the worst marketing idea one can have is to have a webservice with a name that isn’t spelt how people expect it to be. You completely loose ‘word of mouth’ because everyone that mentions it has to...

macuyiko:
If you judge the progress of humanity by Homer Simpson, Paris Hilton, and Girls Gone Wild videos, you might conclude that our evolution has stalled—or even shifted into reverse. Not so, scientists…

You know how no one really eats the crusts of a loaf of bread? I sure don’t. And just today, 3 days before my 26th birthday, I’ve realized that instead of lifting up the crust piece to get to proper slices everytime I go to eat bread, I could simply just throw away the crust when I open a new loaf. Never considered than an option before. Changes everything.

The 10 Things We Guarantee You Didn't Know About... →
“In the Sambia tribe, as early as age 7, young boys are expected to “suck the penis of a mature boy every night and swallow the sperm” (I’d make a joke if I wasn’t terrified). Boys who refuse are forever treated as children within the context of their community, because “without regular ingestion of male seed, the Sambia believe, boys will never grow up into strong, mature...

08-07-18 01: 52 I thought humans were special because they had free will, but angels didn't
08-07-18 01: 53 well, if lucifer rebelled in heaven, doesn't that imply angels have free will?
08-07-18 01: 54 That's one of those confusing contradictions with the terminology. Humans are said to be the ones solely gifted with free will, and yet we're also told that Lucifer chose to defy God

“Try to imagine a world where every programmer you know is a wannabe language designer, bent on molding the language to their whims. When I close my eyes and imagine it, I have a vision of the apocalypse, a perfect, pitch-black storm of utterly incomprhensible, pathologically difficult to debug code.”

The $150 million of tax payer money has been spent on hosting World (catholic) youth day.
The NSW government brought in laws giving the police powers to fine people $5500 for causing annoyance in specific areas to participants in ‘world youth day’.
