Comment Re:Irresponsible Behavior Should Not Be Rewarded! (Score 1) 402

Why indeed? You seem capable of calculating your optimal amount of debt, yet perhaps you insist on excess saving instead. Then when your strategy doesn't put you above others who may have taken different financial routes, you cry foul?

It sounds like economic Puritanism . . . are you hoping that a magical "responsibility fairy" will appear and elevate you above the masses as a reward for stuffing bills in your mattress instead of participating in the economy?

Comment Facebook Gains a Weakness (Score 2) 199

This could actually undermine a key branding strength that's enabled Facebook to hold on for so long -- people don't mind staying superficially "connected" with old friends whom they never talk to, but in the roller coaster quest for love, a failed relationship could linger like moldy cheese in your timeline . . . every time you see that little blue icon you're reminded of all the disappointment and pain . . . better to just "delete Facebook" and start fresh on a new app -- after all there are plenty of other fish (apps) in the sea!

I didn't get it until I got to the end, "Blood turns to wine when I leak for police", then I went back and saw that it seems to all be about the recent police violence scandals and "Black Lives Matter" . . .

"buttery gold, jittery zeitgeist . . . Eye for an eye" = the police's badges, as symbols of righteous authority and protection, seem to melt away quickly these days. Instead, we seem to see panicky, primitive, reactions to an over-generalized perception of threat from the community.

"The mouths water . . . Blood turns to wine . . . that's not a riot, it's a feast . . ." = Like bloodthirsty savages, they seem to seek out and relish any opportunity to justify violence
