I've been hate Reddit because I find great things on there, but then anytime I go on to a niche subreddit it's a 50/50 for gold or crud.
Tell me why on the #humanresouces sub comments are telling OP who is getting sexually harassed to "just tell him he's harassing you and to stop".

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly:
- DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems

Times New Roman was selected as the "default" font due to its high readability on print. As most communications are now done virtually the eye is most easily able to understand Calibri.
Why do you think most word processors and email systems default to it now?

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
