We don't live in a world in which men must approach women. I was approached by my partner, as have been several male friends of mine. One female friend of mine even proposed to her boyfriend--reversal of the usual situation, which is

I switched to an iphone a few months ago. Lack of a headphone jack bothered me for about a day. I got used to it very quickly, and now much much prefer the iphone to my old Android device.

My brother-in-law is an electrician, and he could tell you stories for days about the horrible and unsafe practices he sees nearly every day of the week in people's homes where they've done their own work. Everything thinks they&#

I would rather see a nationalized service, maybe offered through postal banking, for fee-free instant money transfer. Banking, for such basic purposes, should be treated as a utility. It isn't sexy, it isn't flash, it's roa

There are groups working on bringing men into nursing and teaching. You can find out more about these with a few google searches.

I think those are good values. I also don't think those are American values in 2018.

I don't think either China or America has values worth defending at this point in history.

Fetuses are not human. They don't look human, they don't act human, absolutely none of them can survive as independent creatures (as most humans can). If anything, they're kinda weird little monsters that invade women's

Your anti-vax ideas are in the same neighborhood as flat earthers; yeah, we all get that you really really believe it, but that don't make it any more real than the pancake earth model. The word I like to describe all of this stuff is

It's overwhelmingly fine. Everyone's got a story about a bad experience, but so often I see these generalized into "it's just shit". I've ridden TriMet daily in the past, SoundTransit daily, and the L in Chica

I have heard several working philosophers describe her work as "incoherent" in a philosophical sense -- inconsistent in ways that are unreconcilable. These are people with no particular horse in any race; there isn't a lot of

Whoever or however many people she's slept with is also very much between her and her partners -- bringing it out into the public is a boundary overstep and violation of her privacy. Slut-shaming is a bad thing and we would all do well

I'd call that a smoothie and still treat it as a dessert. Fruits are pretty sugary and very much an "after a meal and in moderation" thing for me.

Privately funded research is directed by one person's politics, which is far, far less good than the politics of a democratic state. Or maybe you trust rich folx to call the shots? I don't. The world's moved on from monarch

"Rich people fund research universities after getting rich" seems like a far less efficient way to fund research universities than not letting them get so rich in the first place. I'd prefer the direct route of funding them f

This is such a ridiculous reply. "You've audited an election?" It's on par with "you've inspected the rain clouds, you've watched the rain fall into the Bull run watershed, you've inspected the reser

Oh yes, and what's more amazing is that it's about 60,000 coal miners whose jobs we're talking about. That's fewer than Arby's . That's fewer than people who work in museums. It's insanity.

I grew up in Oregon, which has been 100% vote-by-mail for years, and fraud is non-existent there. This is FUD, to dust off an old chestnut, at least as far as Oregon is concerned. Check it: https://www.google.com/search?new

Screen Actors Guild. now you've seen one with performance pay...can you change your tune the next time around on the next union-related thread?

it's a little difficult to extrapolate a broad picture of union benefits or costs from these anecdotes, just because one of them is, well, a kid's story from a lifetime ago...

You might not be getting a lot of counterexamples because you're obviously coming at this with such a deeply held belief that no one wants to bother..."water? is it wet?? I surely don't think so..."

Yeah but our US government made a bunch of treaties with the people living here before us that we immediately started breaking and have continued to break ever since. This isn't something that's just an "in the past" thi

Okay, but when? I ask because I've seen this claim made about Austrian economics lots and lots, but haven't seen anything telling a consistent story -- just a lot of "it's coming, keep waiting". Seriously interested
