What Baristas Think When You Place Your Order
You pretend you’re gluten-intolerant
This is why you’re broke
Your heart is going to explode in 5-7 years
Stop pretending you can’t remember it’s called a Tall, I see you everyday fuckface.
Do you realize that drink is comprised mostly of chemicals and fat would be healthier?

I think a lot of people feel crappy right now. Creative types, mostly. Feels like we are all in the middle of a big, depressing, fuck off period of taking for granted that we’re all pretty sharp, and we’re all pretty talented at one thing or another, and we’re all able to convey our thoughts with our words in a (mostly) intelligent way.

What kind of information are they collecting and integrating?:
Almost anything that’s already in the Google ecosystem: calendar appointments, location data, search preferences, contacts, personal habits based on Gmail chatter, device information and search queries, to name a few.
Can they do that?: Not under the company’s current privacy policies, but Google is introducing a new, unified...

me: ugh, I hate acknowledging my feelings
BFF: Me too, lady. I don't know how it got to be a thing where having feelings about how we're treated is bad.
me: I don't either. But I feel like admitting any sort of displeasure breaks some sort of social contract I don't remember signing.

– Stu Maschwitz - Filmmaker, photographer and writer. As heard on the Scruffy Thinking podcast.
I really love this analogy and this whole episode is one of the best conversations I’ve heard about doing what you love, and why that’s not as clean-cut as it sounds. (via the816)

Right-o. Because obviously people who are homeless are too dumb and are just abandoning perfectly lovely homes.

Wishful Thinking with a touch of naïveté
Dear Fellow Interneteers,
It’s really nice to see everyone care. I fully support being indignant, outraged and, most importantly, protecting yourself. I’m impressed with the scope of the anger everyone with an ethernet cord seems to be possessed by lately. However futile I think some of the protests are, I think it’s great to see people responding.
At the same time I’m...

Things I Will Never Understand
People who smoke but complain they have no money
Why everyone at the teacher’s union seems to not care at ALL about education children
Meatloaf - both the food and the man
People who think being a “regular guy” is a desirable trait in a politician. Seriously, if you are in office, you should be smarter than me.
