I don't feel bad for this guy - He says and does things regularly that are hurtful to society with no signs of becoming a better person.

Refuse to work for them because they aren't letting you do due diligence on the offer. What do they have to hide?

Not surprising in light of the fact that mlg.tv has not been a serious competitor to twitch for ages.

OTOH, you can now use a standard charger that is shared with increasingly many new devices. How many people are actually knocking laptops off tables because of the power cord?

Uber drivers are allowed to put up signs soliciting tips in some regions as they won a couple lawsuits.

I choose to tip drivers when they provide extra services or goods. If a driver gives me a bottle of water or lifts heavy luggage for me, I'll sometimes give him some money.

Sous vide is usually at a lower temperature than boiling. I did some research and felt pretty safe about using ziploc bags with mine for meats up to 160 F. People have done testing on this stuff.

see a physical therapist to figure out where you should increase strength in complementary muscle groups as well as fix flexibility issues. Also, making corrections to running form.

I'm not sure how this would change the gap between top schools and super top schools. Most of the top students at A tier schools already applied and got rejected by S tier schools in the current environment. So the quality of students theoretically doesn't change. What am I missing in your logic here?

I mean the preference for other races besides Asian when academic performance is held equal. Which I guess would fall under 'affirmative action.' The typical argument is that colleges want kids who are more 'well-rounded' and Asian kids are stereotyped to be less so.

There's also an explicit racial component to college admissions that I think plenty of us suspect does actually exist in the form of quotas, higher average scores/academic performance. That part can go pretty easily.
