Reddit’s “What Secret Could Ruin Your Life if It Came Out?” Thread Is a Harrowing Descent Into the Darkest Reaches of the Human Soul | Slacktory | This seems legit.
:I guess it’s also worth pointing out that people shared links and phone numbers for suicide hotlines throughout the thread. One of the top-voted comments was a list of support hotlines. It’s good to know that a popular reaction among anonymous readers wasn’t to antagonize or poke fun, but to offer help."

What Your Klout Score Really Means | Epicenter | Wired.com
"Over time, I found my eyes drifting to tweets from folks with the lowest Klout scores. They talked about things nobody else was talking about. Sitcoms in Haiti. Quirky museum exhibits. Strange movie-theater lobby cards from the 1970s. The un-Kloutiest’s thoughts, jokes, and bubbles of honest emotion felt rawer, more authentic, and blissfully oblivious to the herd. Like unloved TV shows, these people had low Nielsen ratings—no brand would ever bother to advertise on their channels. And yet, these were the people I paid the most attention to. They were unique and genuine. That may not matter to marketers, and it may not win them much Klout. But it makes them a lot more interesting."

Games within games: Hoarding - Edge Magazine
"Cheese is plentiful in all holds of Skyrim, which gave me a first vector to channel my energies towards once the Breezehome was mine. Wheels and wedges soon became my most sought-after loot. I’d even re-enter cleared dungeons immediately on exit, thinking I’d missed one. I was dumping cheese in Lydia’s bedroom from the day I got the keys and within a few weeks, had filled one corner to the ceiling and covered her bed in eidar stilton. However, my cheese hoarding came to an end 100 hours in, when the game intervened to save itself. A friend challenged me to do Unrelenting Force in my cheese room. The frame rate immediately hit single digits – and has never fully recovered."

Kristen Wolfe: Dear Customer Who Stuck Up For His Little Brother
That's when big brother stepped in. He said to his dad, "It's my money, it's my gift to him. If it's what he wants, I'm getting it for him, and if you're going to hit anyone for it, it's going to be me." Dad just gave his oldest son a strong stern stare-down, and then left the store. Little brother was crying quietly. I walked over and ruffled his hair (yes, this happened all in front of me). I said, "I'm a girl, and I like the color blue, and I like shooting games. There's nothing wrong with what you like. Even if it's different than what people think you should." I smiled, he smiled back (my heart melted!). Big brother then leaned down, kissed little brother on the head, and said, "Don't worry, dude."

A New Declaration of Independence - Salon.com
"It is our belief that many of the problems facing Americans today can be directly connected to the unchecked power and complete unaccountability of the 1 Percent, a group that benefits from every unequal boom of the modern era and escapes each disastrous bust unscathed. The 1 Percent is insulated from the negative effects of its disastrous policies by its paid representatives in government. The elite 1 Percent ensures the slavish loyalty of its political handmaidens by flooding their campaign coffers with money squeezed from the 99 Percent as deposits, fees and interest.

What unites the outraged 99 Percent is that we have all “played by the rules,” only to learn belatedly that the game was rigged. Having been promised modest rewards for working within the system, by taking on debt or voting the party line, we find ourselves, bluntly, shit out of luck."

Why do we still believe in monogamy? - Infidelity | Adultery, Marriage Infidelity - Salon.com
"Every society loads up its relationships with certain expectations that make it very difficult for anyone to chart a different course. One of the arguments for same-sex marriage is the fact that our society invests marriage with this very unique set of expectations of fidelity -- not only within the couple, but also in how other people treat the couple, that they don't try to break the couple up. We don't have the same expectations for cohabiting couples."

"The “indie scene” isn’t really anything other than a convenient construct or catch all. If we assume for the sake of the next few lines of text that it does exist, just for shits and giggles, it’s not pushing in one direction, it’s pushing in every direction because it’s a fuckload of different people, different teams, different cultures all pushing in the directions they want to head in. And it’s quite the astoundingly wonderful time for all this. I’m drowning in great games to play and loving every second of it. That’s nice."

Lisa Bloom: How to Talk to Little Girls
Hear hear: "Teaching girls that their appearance is the first thing you notice tells them that looks are more important than anything. It sets them up for dieting at age 5 and foundation at age 11 and boob jobs at 17 and Botox at 23. As our cultural imperative for girls to be hot 24/7 has become the new normal, American women have become increasingly unhappy. What's missing? A life of meaning, a life of ideas and reading books and being valued for our thoughts and accomplishments."

"The old saw is that people don’t understand that Facebook doesn’t consider the users their customers – they consider the advertisers their customers. Make no mistake, this is true... but it implies that Facebook takes some sort of benign “let’s keep humming along and use this big herd of moos to our advantage”. But it doesn’t. Facebook actively and constantly changes up the game, makes things more intrusive, couldn’t give less of a shit about your identity, your worth, your culture, your knowledge, your humanity, or even the cohesive maintenance of what makes you you."

thestar.com iPhone : The 'Israelification' of airports: High security, little bother
"Do you know why Israelis are so calm? We have brutal terror attacks on our civilians and still, life in Israel is pretty good. The reason is that people trust their defence forces, their police, their response teams and the security agencies. They know they're doing a good job. You can't say the same thing about Americans and Canadians. They don't trust anybody," Sela said. "But they say, 'So far, so good'. Then if something happens, all hell breaks loose and you've spent eight hours in an airport. Which is ridiculous. Not justifiable. But, what can you do? Americans and Canadians are nice people and they will do anything because they were told to do so and because they don't know any different."

Robert Fisk: The crimewave that shames the world - Robert Fisk ...
Very, very upsetting. "It is difficult to remain unemotional at the vast and detailed catalogue of these crimes. How should one react to a man – this has happened in both Jordan and Egypt – who rapes his own daughter and then, when she becomes pregnant, kills her to save the "honour" of his family? Or the Turkish father and grandfather of a 16-year-old girl, Medine Mehmi, in the province of Adiyaman, who was buried alive beneath a chicken coop in February for "befriending boys"? Her body was found 40 days later, in a sitting position and with her hands tied."

Sad face: "I know a couple of people who will probably never get credit for the work they’ve done, for the insights they’ve produced. But the insights themselves prevail. Even if the establishment shoots the messenger, so long as the message is valid it will work its way into the heart of the enemy’s camp. First it will be ridiculed. Then it will be accepted as true, but irrelevant. Finally, it will be embraced as canon, and what’s more everyone will know that it was always so embraced, and it was Our Glorious Leader who had the idea. The credit may not go to those who deserve it; but the field will have moved forward."

Ivey Business Journal - FEATURE ARTICLE
"One of the most striking differences can be seen in the change in business leaders. In the 70s, managers knew subordinates’ jobs better than they did. But today, with the rapid advance of knowledge, subordinates often know more. Today, what people seek in their leaders is authenticity, transparency, and a clear sense of meaningful purpose. Experience is secondary.

The result of all these changes has been the emergence of a new social character – one that I call the "interactive," in contrast to the "bureaucratic" social character that was dominant in the last century. Interactives tend to identify with sibling-like peers rather than paternal models. Since they were ten or 11 years old, these Interactives have been in touch with global management through Facebook and multi-player video games."
