>I have disposed of many of them but it seems just when it is safe again to go for a run...there are more dogs. Sounds like you need to pack a pistol and some mace when you run.

Exactly. It's in a corporation's best interest to fleece its customers for as much as it can get away with. Monopolies have a much easier time of it.

Yes, there are liberals with guns out there, just like there's people out there with their internal organs reversed (heart on the right, etc.). But by and large, there aren't very many; the vast majority of the gun owners are Rep

The problem with this is that you need to live in a place where there's a lot of relevant jobs. Even in a big metro area if jobs are too far away (on the opposite side of the metro area) it means you need to pack up and move every t

You can take this to further lengths to demonstrate the shortsightedness: Why should we worry about fixing up the problem with lead in drinking water in Flint as long as there's people there living in poverty and starving? We should j

Exactly. If you're 50 and paying for your own cancer treatment, that's morally indefensible if there's anyone younger than you who needs cancer treatment!

Sounds like the US Federal government lately.

The same argument could be made about just about any human activity that isn't obviously beneficial to humanity, the environment, etc. Is reading a discussion on HN morally defensible? You could be spending that time helping humanity

I've used PyCharm. The editing feature is beyond useless to me, because it does not have vim key bindings. How am I supposed to cut and paste code when commands like "y}" don't work? You actually expect me to use a m

I don't see the problem there, when that one particular soup kitchen, for various reasons, has several other support unions which are dedicated exclusively to supporting that soup kitchen, and ignore all the other ones. It makes perfec

Complaining about when your boss shows up to work isn't a recipe for success in any job.

The problem with "the middle of nowhere" is the lack of socialization available. That's why a lot of people move to cities, even though the cost is a lot more. Sure, it's great if you can work remotely and afford a real

I've done some work in coffee shops (but on my own personal projects), so I actually understand firsthand how this is a nice way to do some work. But I don't really understand the coworking space concept. It seems to be worse th

I have to disagree about the testing bit with autism; from what I understand, that doesn't even show up until a kid is a couple years old or more. Anecdotally, I have two friends with kids, and both their kids are mildly autistic. I

I've heard of this, but what kids actually stick around to take care of their parents when they're old? In fact, isn't that rather cruel? By the time the parents are unable to take care of themselves (if they get to that st

Do you have a solution? From what I see, parents simply have no time to actually spend with kids, they have to spend the equivalent of a full apartment rent on daycare, the cost of raising kids properly is utterly unaffordable, and the cos

by Arizhel 10y ago
Exactly. This is why people with children shouldn't also have jobs. At least one person needs to be at home to take care of the kids. However, with divorce so commonplace, you can't count on having one spouse earning an income
