    Slowing down - Why we don't post like we used to...

    I mostly stopped when top threads stopped appearing on the front page, making it marginally more inconvenient to find interesting discussions.

    The Classic

    I'm a Pipsi man myself.

    Poll: What do you prefer: AMD or NVIDIA?

    Which ever's cheaper!

    With Encryption Battle on Hold, Burner Phones Now Targeted

    Because privacy is a fundamental right, including privacy of communication. How it should be. Yes, they have the same amount of legitimate uses as a unsecure, registered phone but with the added benifit of another layer of privacy. That's unfortunate. It looks like I will be unable...

    Is this guy a dick or is this ableism?

    I would wait. I might get a bit impatient and annoyed, but I would try not to show that and make the chap feel rushed. This is a hypothetical scenario. I agree about the coat though. It is each individuals responsibility to make sure they are wearing suitable clothes for the weather.

    Poll: The Harem Thread

    Probably not. I don't like being around large groups of people.

    What's there to be ashamed of for living with your folks still?

    I don't see how using the correct word for the situation is ridiculous. Disliking someone for living a different life is the definition of a bigoted view. I'm not saying you are wrong to feel how you feel. There's nothing I can do to change how you feel and it doesn't matter. Thanks, I take...

    What's there to be ashamed of for living with your folks still?

    Because the definition is "a person who has strong, unreasonable beliefs and who does not like other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life". Stating that you feel anyone who chooses to live with their parents is "pathetic", "grossly immature" and "coddled babies" is a...

    What's there to be ashamed of for living with your folks still?

    I have reread it, and I found the specific bit that drew my attention: What specifically is wrong with this? The person in question has their own income and is supporting their own activities. Assuming that their parent(s) are ok with them still living there, what is the issue?

    What's there to be ashamed of for living with your folks still?

    While I agree that humans require certain things to survive such as sustenance, shelter and such, I don't see what that has to do with where exactly someone chooses to live. What does it matter if someone chooses to live with their parent(s)?

    What's there to be ashamed of for living with your folks still?

    There is some here in the UK. I don't think it is as pronounced, especially among people who consider themselves "working class" I did this with my grandparents. If and when you decide to do this, be prepared for all kind of emotional issues from them not being able to do things for...

    CBS' Star Trek Reboot Signs Hannibal's Bryan Fuller As Showrunner

    I lost interest as soon as I saw the word reboot. I might have a look if people I trust tell me it is worth my time, but I am very much into the proper continuity and if they are throwing that out they probably shouldn't bother.

    What's there to be ashamed of for living with your folks still?

    I don't recall chastising you, but I would consider "it is a sign of immaturity and failure" and "pretty pathetic in my eyes" as chastising and indirectly attacking me and anyone like me. An interesting, if somewhat bigoted view. I don't mean to insult you, but the definition seems accurate...

    What's there to be ashamed of for living with your folks still?

    No I'm not. Why would I want to when I can live perfectly comfortable without working every hour of the week? I disagree. I have chosen to live with my mother because it makes my life far easier. I don't have to constantly think about money, bills and whether I can afford to enjoy myself. I...
