11 Outfits Of The 70s With Perfectly Reasonable Explanations.

His article, “Does Apple Need a Bigger Stick – or Charm School?”

Starts off like this:

Apple, in so many ways, is now king of the hill. As such, behind every rock on the Web there seems to be a new charge to knock Apple down.

If a competitor isn’t charging the hill, Apple seems to be the target for stone-throwing. It’s not that this is unexpected; the rise and fall of companies — and Hollywood starlets — is commonplace. But does a meteoric rise always require a fall?

Is it just me or is that the most nonsensical pasting together of sentences into an opening you’ve read all week? And what do “hollywood starlets” have to do with anything?

I literally had to read the above four times to make sure I wasn’t simply being dense and not comprehending Maxcer’s writing.

I still can’t comprehend it but at least now I see it for what it is – truly shitty writing.

The rest doesn’t get any better. In the middle, Maxcer uses the word “still” five times in five consecutive sentences. Maxcer/MacNewsWorld – hire a fucking copy editor.

It’s an interesting point. When the “I” becomes more important than the “we”, the self becomes even more selfish than usual.

Could it explain the seeming rise in the lack of civil discourse? We can’t seem to see other points of views any more or compromise for “the good of the country” or tolerate (even celebrate) others’ differences.

Is it because of the “growth of self”?

Happy 50th birthday to the greatest basketball of all time.

Worf hoodie lets you pull Klingon ridges over your forehead.

No – it makes you look like an easily beat-upable DORK.

OK…once I got done laughing, I read Savage’s response:

“Yes, yes: You did the gayest thing a guy can do—you allowed someone to put a dick in your manbutt—but now you’re doing the second-gayest thing a guy can do. You’re being a huge drama queen about the whole thing.”

LMAO I love Dan Savage. In a completely manly, non-gay way of course.

Mental Floss:
For most of us, eighth grade is a stew of awkward memories: pimples, doodles, and straight-armed slow dances. But for students 100 years ago, it was probably their last year at school. Thanks to mandatory schooling laws established a decade earlier, kids in Kentucky could stop attending class at 14 years old. Of the 72 percent of children who attended primary school in America, fewer than 20 percent continued on to high school. So travel back to 1912 and pretend this is your exit exam to the real world.

OMG If this was the criteria then no – I am SO not smarter than a 1912 Eight Grader!
