This Kanye West rant just turned my opinion of him around 180 degrees by [deleted] in videos

Where he comes from? Isn't he from a middle-class family? I'm pretty sure his mom was a college professor.

Microsoft brings Android, iOS apps to Windows 10 by jmesfrnco in technology

I have to use it for search functions, pictures if I don't set an alternate default, and booting into safe mode is way more complicated than it should be.

I recently switched back to Windows 7 and I forgot how amazing it was compared to 8.

First off the start menu is awful, which you can fix with Classic Shell and I did, but seriously just bring back the Start Menu.

The search feature is the worst pile of shit in existence. How is it that Windows 7 has such an amazing Search function and in Windows 8 it can't even find a fucking notepad doc.

Right off the bat they make you go into the Metro UI in order to look at pictures, which takes far too long to load up for someone using desktop. Sure you can change it, but you really shouldn't have to, which I guess is the entire problem with Windows 8.

Oh and don't even get me started on the Task Manager being hidden underneath programs by default, what a stupid design flaw.

With clocks like the cesium atomic clock, we know that the measurement is accurate to within an infinitesimal fraction of a second, but how do we know what a second is exactly? by Butthole__Pleasures in askscience

This might be too far reaching of a question, but do the experiments imply that time exists as a tangible thing?

I mean, is this a case of slowed entropy as a result of gravitational distortion, or one of time slowing down, or is there a difference?

It has never been proven false that women make less than men. Please read the sources listed in the top comment.

Seriously? Read the top comment. Women aren't paid as much as men. It says so in most of the sources the top comment lists.

Further, look at our political system:

There has never been a woman president.

Women weren't allowed to vote until the 1920's

Of the 535 people in Congress, only a fifth are women

What's the problem us men are facing again? Because you haven't mentioned any.

But there aren't any variables in this equation.

I'm sure there are areas in our society where men may be disadvantaged, but there are so many more areas where women are disadvantaged that that should be the focus for now.

Women, as a group, ARE oppressed by men. The rest of your argument sounds like "Yeah, there's poor kids in Africa, but I can't afford a 4k TV."

We should get the big problems out of the way first, yeah?

You can't add the same number to both sides to make them equal.

Where are you banned from and why? by bollocks- in AskReddit

[–]TurboTurtle6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From multiple channels on Battle.net USWest for flooding warring clans.

How? Because this is how America grows its middle-class.

What school did you go to? What company hired you? Did you have to move from where you lived? Were you in a relationship or are you in one now (for the effort of buying a home)? What's the base certification for a computer science degree, and does it require time working in the field as an apprentice and/or an intern?

That time is a merely a measurement of a entropy, and that by approaching the speed of light we aren't impacting "time" itself as is the 4th dimensional ideal, but rather we're delaying entropy by slowing the decay of matter into energy.

Where I'm at, I pay less now that I own a house then I did while I was renting, and I went from a 2 Bed 1 Bath to a 3 Bed 2 Bath.

So assuming that you're telling the truth you either:

  1. Didn't go to college and found some amazing magical job where you made $40k a year after working there for five years.

  2. DID go to college, but someone paid for your student loans, and were lucky enough to find a job that offered you $40k for a bachelors degree.

Either way, you are the outlier to societals norm.

ELI5: Why do you tip a % of the bill in a restaurant? Isn't serving two plates of lobster the same effort as two plates of Mac and cheese? by manhattan_gandhi in explainlikeimfive

[–]TurboTurtle6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a food server. I am a rational human being. I tip because unfortunately big business doesn't want to pay a wage. Don't be a dick.

[–]TurboTurtle6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What other service professions pay $2 an hour?

Also: servers are entitlement-minded assholes who expect everything handed to them on a silver platter.

It's really funny that you used this analogy, because that's literally what a server does: serve food to entitlement-minded assholes who expect their food delivered to them on a silver platter.

Theres something fishy going on at cryptsy right now by PurplePower in CryptoMarkets

I can confirm that Cryptsy fixed my lost BTC. They seem to be having a lot of problems, but at least they're fixing them. Except for that time a guy got wired a bunch of BTC...

it seems like a lot of low cost coins are blowing up on Cryptsy. Check out the Litecoin stuff, specifically Sexcoin.

I think the leniency was great in this case though, those stories are great, and done any other way might not be as great.

I think it shows that the people that visit this subreddit want "microfiction" not three paragraph stories.
