Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: I simply do not understand the comments that have been posted here so far, at the time of this writing. No, plagiarism is not theft in the sense of stealing a loaf of bread, but it is intellectual theft. It is a blatant lie that is unacceptable anywhere, l ....
Comment preview: I did this once to a 11/10 colleague. When I first met her we worked at the same level in different towns. When she walked by all her male coworkers commented on how they wanted to fuck her so hard. I commented how they coulnd't even understand how to get ....
Comment preview: The asian way of learning, that being pure memorization, no critical thinking and, in certain countries(especially China), a high degree of cheating are simply the reasons why. In many Asian countries, learning in kindergarten AND at a coursework masters d ....
Comment preview: As an MBA student myself, the article appears to ring true. I feel what they fail to address though is the reason for these problems. There is very little respect within the field for its practical application. I don t think I ve taken a single course wh ....
Comment preview: As someone who grades a lot of papers/essays, please let me urge you: DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT fall into the crowd that sets up "teams" for classes. I see this all the time, where people say "ok I will go Monday, you go Wednesday" etc and share notes. You a ....
Comment preview: We talked about this in my Social Psychology class (I was a psychology major). The "everyone's a special snowflake" trend came from the self-esteem movement of the 1970s. In the 70s, many psychologists and pop-psychologists posited that low-self esteem was ....
Comment preview: So, I posted a question first time around. It got a lot of attention, but it didn't get your's since you didn't answer. So here it goes again. "Iranian male in mid 20s here. I feel that to some extent, the role of a President in Iran is pretty much just a ....
Comment preview: This is hard to answer without sounding racist or stereotyping a vast portion of Indian people, so I'll prefix this by saying that: (a) this is mostly from my experience, reinforced by articles on academic practices; (b) there are some very smart Indian se ....
Comment preview: Iranian male in mid 20s here. I feel that to some extent, the role of a President in Iran is pretty much just a face like Queen Elizabeth is for England. Any issue that has any real value for the nation or even international politics is in tight control by ....
Comment preview: [I read a really great article/blog post a few months ago on why the Harvard cheating scandal is stupid](http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2012/09/the_harvard_cheating_scandal_i.html). It's an interesting read, and although it's a bit long I'd suggest that ev ....
Comment preview: * How bad engineering education is, those who can't do really do teach. A lot of my instructors came from academia, having never worked a real job. Alternatively, if they had worked in industry, they were coming from a middle-manager or VP type position. I ....
Comment preview: This is the 3rd time you have done an AMA. I have posted the exact same question which got a LOT of attention the 1st time and decent amount the 2nd time, [here is the link to my comment on the 2nd AMA](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/19o3dc/i_am_run ....
Comment preview: I played it! Know a guy who works for Polygon. He's an SJW and therefor a Nazi, but he let's me play early releases sometimes. It's great. You start out as this young kid who lives with his mom. Mysteriously, your dad is never around, but you don't seem to ....
Comment preview: For me, all this aesthetic racism about Asians being short and effeminate doesn't bother me too much, because I can counteract those stereotypes just by being myself. The comments on Reddit and elsewhere that truly bother me are the malicious ones that can ....
Comment preview: Translations! **Q1. Any chance we could really fuck over players who decide to be criminals by having them suffer a mechanic similar to player death?** >Holy shit how many fucking times do I have to talk about this bullshit? WE DON'T FUCKING KNOW HOW TH ....
Comment preview: Note: I've been in and out of engineering "design" jobs for 30 years. I've been back into it recently (and for the first time am using multi physics FEA tools hardcore - old dogs can learn new tricks - loves me my Comsol; it's like being a new engineer). ....
Comment preview: Do you really think niggers respect Thomas Jefferson or anything that he wrote? The well meaning intentions of white people have enlarged the problem further by instituting policies of actual Nigger Privilege. Strangely, the very people who claim so outspo ....
Comment preview: After being spirited away from the God-Emperor's gene-vaults, one of the Emperor's sons managed to land back on his own home planet, Holy Terra- or, as it was known during the third millennium, Earth. Through some vagary of the Warp, however, he arrived te ....
