That's more of a pop culture trope. In my experience,the experience of my friends close enough to discuss these things with, and existing studies the opposite is true.

I'm a big fan of open source, but why is it obvious that "proprietary is bad for society", exactly? I'd venture to guess that most of the people that frequent this site work for companies that sell proprietary software i

Because life isn't that simple. To one group "misgendering" people is harassment and therefore not nice. To another group being forced to speak as if someone is a gender you do not believe them to be is patronizing and not ni

I concur. We're heavily considering taking our children out of the school system and this is our primary blocker. We're doing research on it and it does seem like there are a number of social groups specifically geared toward solv

The best help young, inexperienced, energetic folks can be is to follow someone who is aged, experienced, and lacking bandwidth. Romantic notions aside, young people are not particularly equipped to lead, and would do better to watch a lead

How is it bad for people to find dates in the office? Plenty of people meet their significant others at work. It's a bit bizarre to treat courtship as "bad".
