You ruined your country.
Ah yes, I really fucked up back at the constitutional convention when I designed a system that mathematically guarantees a two party system, leading to inevitable gerrymandering, entrenchment, and no incentives against unlimited fundraising . Same with that electoral college that allows minority rule via farmland. I think I got a lot of rights right, but in retrospect I probably should have worded the 2nd amendment differently, or at least foreseen the exponential development of weapons' destructive power and not implied that citizens should have equal arms to the government. Maybe I could have even got rid of it, I don't know. I definitely fucked up when I allowed slavery to continue for a while and then after we got rid of it, decided redlining was fine and wouldn't affect things for multiple generations. I probably also fucked up when I was running all those lobbying firms in the 50s and destroyed American communities to make room for automobiles, and simultaneously started the military industrial complex subsidizing the rest of the worlds defense in exchange for not having healthcare.
I really fucked it up bad, totally my fault. Crazy that I managed to do all that before I was born, and despite voting in every election for the only people who want to slightly change some of that stuff. But you're right, my bad. I should fix it by voting for a rep in... Oh wait, I forgot I lived in an area without any actual representation for a while. I guess I shouldn't have created Washington DC!But it's ok, now I live in an area where my vote means nothing because our system is mathematically designed for gridlock. Guess I should just soak in the unfixable path dependency, instead of trying to go contribute to a different country that has none of these problems. But I was born here, so it's my...duty to fix all those mistakes I made before I was born rather than going somewhere else, because it's my responsibility. And you're probably right to want to keep me out, because I just wanna come... steal your good society instead of contributing to something that more closely aligns with my values. Good read on the situation, you got me!
Average American man is 5'9.3" (and has been around for a long time). So not only is the graph misleading it's just wrong.
In case anyone was wondering, within America: White 5'10", Black 5' 9", Asian and Hispanic around 5'7".
Don't mention landlords, unless followed by "... deserve the guillotine."
My first thought was that no one deserves to be shot while giving a speech, but has anyone asked what he was saying at the time of the shooting? It's not victim blaming to say spouting hateful rhetoric kind of brings it on yourself. Doesn't have street smarts to do it in that kind of country with those kind of gun owners around.
My wife and I laughed so hard we couldn't breathe when creating a now-persistent universe with a rivalry between Fart U and Fart Tech.
And in case you were wondering where I stand...those damn ivy league farters would rather sit around and study farts than get out there and actually create. Fart Tech woo!
An even better title would be "'Study' by firm pushing new technique finds old technique is bad."
Ehhhh...Kanban is much older than Agile even if they tried to subsume it and say it's an agile technique, so that's sort of right. But kanban vs "scrum" - which virtually everyone means when they say "agile" - is fair.
He didn't appoint anyone to the NY state supreme court.
Well John Oliver did a whole episode on this like two years ago. Maybe then.
What @[email protected] said below, but instead I'd recommend You Need A Budget (YNAB). YNAB is amazing, and despite not liking paying for subscription services, I keep using it and not getting firefly (and I do self host my own things). It's like $100 a year and will save you far more than that if you use it correctly. Check them out: http://www.youneedabudget.com
Make sure to read their intro stuff on why they recommend doing things the way they do, as active budgeting isn't for everyone.
Either the SAS survival handbook because it'd be one of the most useful books to have completely memorized, or maybe the Bible just to dunk on fundamentalists by quoting obscure passages that contradict each other.
Neither sounds super fun, but those are the first that come to mind.
