This is especially true if you're drunk and a US Marine stationed overseas...

I had never encountered the word 'Pomological' in my life until this article. My brain scanned it as starting with P-o-r-n, because that made more sense in context.

At this point, I've made my choice. I'm not going to look up the word. (I've lived more than 50 years, it's not likely to add much value for me now.) I'm not going to read the article. (It could only disappoint...)

I think less of parkerhiggins.net for tricking me with this article title. I think less of fanf2 for submitting this tricky article title. I resent even the time I've spent writing this. Bleah!

There's only one way to find out, bubba! You're gonna have to write an x86 emulator in vimscript for us, and tell us how it compares...

The linked website looks ... buggy or fake. (Or both, since I'm able to notice!)

Maybe we should build a monorail, instead.

We've got that, already. They're called "trains." We just need to make them faster.

When you say "big banks" you're actually crossing several regulatory domains. But as an example, here's the FINRA page on what they won't allow: https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/guidance/eligibility-re...

FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) is the public face of the USA's "Securities and Exchange Commission". They write the rulebook on who gets to work in the industry (stockbrokers, investment bankers, and the like).

In the context of "a house full of frat boys", your use of the term "rude" appears naive at best.

I agree with you on the "my choice" part. But I also believe that things which remove your choice from the equation are worth extra trouble.

Addictive substances are well established as a hazard not just to the individual, but to society. So I think government has an interest in avoiding/preventing/restricting addiction.

I always enjoy an article that starts by insulting my intelligence - especially if it can do it right in the headline. I enjoy it so much that I won't even bother to read it.

"I wrote a linker everyone can understand" -> It doesn't work.

"I wrote a linker that works!" -> No-one can understand all of it.
