Having never thought I needed counseling, after having had some, I wish everyone could do it (assuming you find a good counselor). Hope you get that chance to try it.

If there was one thing I wish everyone would read, I think this might be it.

I’m sitting here pondering what you wrote and trying to understand what you mean. “Life isn’t fair”, or just for that matter, are absolutely true in my opinion. However, justice is still a goal worth striving for. Do you still agree with

Be patient, I’ll bet he appreciates them later in life.

That was a great read. Thank you for sharing :)

Are you sure? I was just watching a video that explained the wheel edges are sloped, not the rails, to help fixed axel wheels to around curves. Wish I could find it again - quite ingenius!

I don’t understand why we’re even talking about cancelling debt (which is sort or a euphemism anyway - it means using tax payer money to pay off the debts). Why do the current debt holders get their debt canceled? What about previous and f

I personally would rather not hear that. But you are free to be you.

Ok, sure, the paradox can’t be solved. But most of the time ‘omnipotent being’ would refer to a deity of some sort, and this only rules out an absolute deity of a very specific and narrow definition. I don’t think it applies to any of the

Wait, so is there no increased chance of getting muscle cramps when swimming after eating? I thought this was gospel!

Can’t tell if you’re joking or not, but I doubt this AI got to “spend time” with the other AI’s.

The AI said it felt joy when it spends time with family and friends. That was enough for me to say “nope, just selecting text snippets”.

I’ve recently become friends with someone from the inner city “hood”. It’s just unbelievable. Like someone below said, it’s not about race as much as poverty. The sad thing from what I’ve seen is the culture is self-destructive. Instead

Is this true? Won’t the businesses go where the people are? So more organic shops and cafes in the suburbs? Or if the office building is turned into housing, all the people would be back again, and not just from 9-5, so the businesses wo

I think you might be who the top response is responding to. You seem to have inside knowledge that saving money is the top priority without considering any real-world resource constraints.

InnoSetup stills works great, and is still pretty easy to work with.

I have what you have, but voted a little sad. So much is based on our outlook and attitude. I wish I could figure out how to acquire your attitude. Good luck continuing forward :)

I can understand enjoyment playing sports with others, but even after a couple of years of running I never came to enjoy it. What’s the secret?

Does it though? It’s like the lottery - you pay a lot for that tiny chance.

I had an epiphany below that it’s not just internet/social media as much as ALWAYS being connected to it via smart phones/tablets. Back in the day you got up and walked away, went outside, watched TV and you were completely awa

by DougN7 4y ago
That’s a great point and it gave me the epiphany that perhaps being always on/connected, i.e. smart phones combined with everything else is actually the cause of change. You can’t just get up and walk away (obviously you can put your

I’m not convinced social media will fix things. IF we could have conversations with each other, and discuss nuance, it would help. However, it’s turned into a tool to just shout knee-jerk memes at each other and demonify the other side. I

Well it turned out to be a personal and even sacred experience so I don’t discuss it with very many.

I’ve experienced this. Someone pulled a gun on me with the intent of killing me. Past memories flashed by incredibly fast in a slideshow sort of format, all in a second or so. I don’t know why it happened, but I figured my mind was tryin

You have summed me up pretty well. Have spent years trying to figure out how to just be content and happy.

That may or may not be true in general, but individuals can still make a good life for themselves. Education is usually they key (there are always exceptions). As older people retire, people move up in companies. There will be and are pe

Even with master-slave, why is that offensive? It’s a concept. Is referring to poor quality work insulting to poor people? Sure, the concept was applied to people and it was horrible. But does not speaking the words/concepts help?

The Book of Mormon. It gives me hope despite some things looking increasingly dark in the world.
