>From a Western perspective, we've a society that promotes and idolizes women based on their looks and sex appeal. Maybe, but it's interesting that at least in America (which is relevant since you specifically cite the Kardashi

I see a major problem in your life plan here: women (assuming you're preaching to a male audience). Doing nothing but working in your 20s, after going to college in an all-male environment (as that's what STEM classes are), and pl

That won't work. Normal small airports that only have one runway use the runway in both directions, depending on wind direction. You never land with a tailwind, and you never take off with one either. A rho shape wouldn't work

Don't forget delivery and installation fees too. They don't deliver them to your house for free.

Not only that, but the state of Louisiana voted for Trump in the election. For them to be complaining about rising sea levels is the height of hypocrisy. They don't believe in climate change, so how can they complain about rising sea

I never said they "don't matter", just that they shouldn't be bailed out for their dumb choices. They do not believe that there's any global climate change. They think it's a hoax. They vote for leaders (for

It looks like it should be pretty easy to just hire the Dutch and build a levee to prevent the central valley/Sacramento areas from flooding. All the water is entering through one very narrow channel just east of Vallejo. And perhaps t

Brilliant engineers frequently aren't that smart outside their narrow domain of expertise. They're also very frequently politically conservative, religious (so they believe unscientific things), and have been shown in studies to

I agree completely. We're talking about Florida here: that state reliably votes for politicians who say that climate change is a "hoax". Let them deal with the flooding on their own.

If Firefox joined in in preventing 3rd-party ad-blockers, they'd lose what few users they still have left. The whole point of using Firefox is that it isn't corporate-controlled, and is the FOSS alternative that gives you more fr

They likely buckled under largely because the users wanted to be able to watch Netflix, and there was no way that Mozilla was going to convince Netflix to adopt a different solution. So they had a choice of either being the 1 browser that

Um, yes? If you think being selfish and stubborn qualifies as a mental illness, I suggest you go talk to a professional psychologist. I'm quite sure they'll disagree. People do stupid and reckless stuff all the time (esp. 16-25

What you're missing is that those laws are entirely feasible to enforce without having the government snooping on your computer.

Don't forget documentation. Sure, you couldn't look stuff up on StackOverflow, but there was actual, real, paper documentation you could read, and it was usually well-written and really useful. Try finding that these days, even

While this is a possibility, the wrench in the works is the Firefox browser. How is Google going to get them to play along and prevent 3rd-party blockers like UBlock Origin from working? I don't see it happening. They can certainly p

Deaths of uneducated and mentally ill people are sad. The person in that story was not mentally ill, beyond being stupid and refusing to heed plainly obvious warnings, and there's no evidence he was uneducated. There's a differenc

Day care, I suppose. But doesn't having to drive your kids to day care remove a big positive in favor of working at home (eliminating the commute)? I don't think I'm "grasping for excuses" at all. The kids that I&

The marriage rate has also fallen greatly. People aren't getting married as much, and more and more people are just staying single.

I have a friend with a ADHD 7-year-old. There's no way this would ever work with that kid: you can tell him over and over to stop bouncing a ball around and he'll just do it again in a couple of minutes. Expecting him to not bot

That's assuming there's high-value women to be had. From what I hear, that's just not the case in Silicon Valley; the single-male/single-female ratio is horribly skewed. I also hear Seattle is almost as bad. Over in N
