As CEO of BattleBots, I Assure You There’s Almost No Danger of the Robots Becoming Self-Aware and Killing Us It’s almost robot fightin’ time again, folks! Of course, I’m more excited than anybody to be going into our twentieth (!!!) season of sparks flying, parts exploding, and essentially no danger of the robots becoming fully self-aware and brutally murdering us all. While, yes, given recent technological advancements, it’s somewhat logical to ponder…

( www.reddit.com )

I Had An Almost Unbelievable Experience With Spirit Airlines And I Don’t Know What To Do About It I was mistreated by Spirit Airlines this past week. I’ll try to keep this short, but basically, I had a flight out of Boston about 5:30. We board the aircraft, then about an hour later the pilot tells us we can go ahead and get off but to stay nearby. There was maintenance but no one knew how long it was going to take. Then 2 hours later or so w…

Racism in television is so simplified it’s almost an agenda pushed right now. It’s always done childishly and black-white.

Racism in television is so simplified it’s almost an agenda pushed right now. It’s always done childishly and black-white. They always show the point of views of the good guys and never the “bad guys” The average racist person would never EVER tell you “Omg I hate these X people so much! They are so different, they are not like me, kill them” Instead, they would tell you “I hate these X people, they commit most of the crimes and never want to change, I’m not for kil…

LPT: In almost all cases, no one party is less than 33% at fault. This is a tip that helps to deal with guilt at your own mistakes or anger at the other party’s but in my life experience, this is actually very true so I’m sharing this. Whenever you find yourself too angry at yourself, remember that at worst you were only 2/3 at fault, and the other party was at least 1/3 at fault. Similarly, if you’re too angr…

I am almost 24 years old and my credit is down the drain. (in the flipping 400s) i’m not entirely sure what to do If you’re wondering how I got so much debt it’s pretty easy.

Anyway, the total debt I have sent to collections probably can’t be over.. $4,000 and I …
