I notice the difference, but I don't understand why something that would only cause 12% of people to do stupid things should be illegal when things that cause 60%> of people to do stupid things are legal. If "most people don't do it" is a good argument for outlawing something, then I think we...

I'm not on any particular side of this debate... but given that we haven't outlawed love, money, or alcohol... and haven't outlawed most vagina... where's the overwhelming cause to outlaw marijuana?

I just quoted the other dude, more or less, and substituted the word "Alcohol" for the word "Marijuana". I thought it was striking that most of the arguments against one translated just as well to the other.

I live in the US so Alcohol use is very common here even in public places. Cons: Alcohol tastes bad. Whenever I drink enough of it, I want to vomit. Many people who I interact with when they are under the influence of Alcohol react bizarrely to simple situations. They seem to not care about...

Listening to music and reading books aren't bad suggestions, and watching movies or television shows set in contemporary America might even be a good suggestion. But if your main goal is to write better tech content, find several successful tech blogs written by a native speaker and read them...

I do believe that it mentioned something about investors. I think I remember something about paypal taking off and being utterly swamped with fraud. I wonder how that'll effect them.

How many sites would you put on a VPS like the one you talked about setting up in the tut?

Yea.. totally. The hoodlums would just give them more candy to be let off. Maybe the superheroes could even say some kind of catch-phrase to make the hoodlums give them candy... like... "Halt evildoer! Cease your evil ways and bribe us with candy or it will go rough for you!" Or maybe just...

Amen! A lot of online copy is trash, long copy especially. Maybe they had your interest at the beginning... but that interest went away after they told you the same thing three times. They aren't telling you anything new, they aren't helping you out with all that long, pointless writing...

A good sales letter is going to get your phone ringing, and I just don't think this one will. It doesn't create any desire to buy, and it doesn't sound very professional or otherwise give me some reason to trust you. No desire, no trust; no sale. Here are a couple quick pointers to get you...

RE Aftermath: Beginning was interesting enough, then at 13 seconds or so it got downright enjoyable. Built up nice, and the drop was... okay. Pretty strong all the way from the beginning to the start of the second half of the drop, around maybe 48 seconds. At that point it kinda lost me...

PM me. I am a native English speaker and a college-educated, professional writer. I can definitely provide you whatever kind of rewrite you're looking for, but I'll need to know how many articles, how quick you need them, and what you're looking for from the rewrite. Thank you.

There are those who suggest that using public proxies is better for scraping than using private proxies because if your private proxies are blocked... they're blocked, whereas if your public proxies are blocked, you scrape more.

I am interested.

Not great but not terrible. Part of it seemed a little pointless, like the little chunk starting around 2:43. On the other hand that segment from ~2:55 till the end was pretty darn nice. I think an area you might focus on next would be building more of a narrative (pretty important, I think...
