Medical school debt and physician insurance. Some specialties have just wildly high insurance. My wife is an OB and has to pay $140,000/yr per year for tail insurance in my state. So she literally needs to make, after all other costs o

Do you have experience living in any variety of urban areas in first world countries outside of the US? Have you been to many cities in the US? I don’t think you can possibly have done either of these and still think the US has any urbanism

This is the kind of “I’m 14 and this is deep” thing that gets passed all over Reddit or twitter, because it sounds good and aligns with political dogma. But doesn’t make sense if you actually think about it, at all.

No, Elon is rich because he inherited $250 billion dollars from his parents who made the money off of slavery. /s I had a friend of mine who owns two teslas tell me this at a bar last month, in complete seriousness. I guess it is the z

Gladiators rarely fought to the death: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/wkk22n/did_g... This was more like a fancy UFC fight. They could end in death and the Romans held public executions

This person didn’t say “everyone in America”, they said “people with shit genes”. Are you assuming this is the same set of people? Amazingly, some people are different. Who knew. We shouldn’t gaslight them into thinking they aren’t differen

You will lose weight, in fact if you cut to 0 for long enough you are guaranteed to lose all soft tissue weight. Can I recommend you the “0 calories till you die” diet? The issue is that: - many people can cut from a diet of 2200 calories p

This is a take that would take serious evidence to convince me of. Population growth rates been declining in every western country to the point where, even with immigration, many are below replacement.

These comments at least try to use real economics, even when amateur. Its refreshing when the vast majority of online discourse about inflation is just shouting “We have inflation because business are so much more greedy than they have EVER

I’m totally on board with people loving their pets or anything else in the world important to them. But the OPs comment was, to me at least, as absurd as if I said to someone “I don’t think you should worry so much about saving your daughte

No one can skew the median. They can skew the mean. And the parent link is median. You could remove every billionaire and the number wouldn’t change.

Ok, let’s make sure to judge your life by the decisions you make in your late 90s too. I’m sure they’ll be much more sound.

So usually people who talk about suburbs refer more to the sprawling burbs of like late 60s+. What you’re referring to sounds like a “streetcar suburb”, which urbanists usually like

I see the opposite, modern nihilism is demonstrated in the movie “Everything Everywhere all at Once”. There’s no deep, existential meaning. But there is personal and human meaning.

I thought that was what is meant by the “dark ages”? Basically from the fall of the western Roman Empire until about the carolingian empire. So 400-800 ish. And the name works because we have so much less written evidence about politics in

IMO using Chick-fil-A as an example is a bit like saying all software engineers at any company should be paid $500k/year because Google could totally afford it.

This isn’t a fair comparison, and you have to be arguing in bad faith to say this. I have never seen someone pull out a gun, tweak out and rip out the hair of the girl sitting in front of them, or shit themselves, on an elevator. I have see
