I don't see how it's possible for 99% of people. I stepped away from the professional world and am working retail for 15/hr while I get my shit sorted out. This only works due to the following factors: 1.) I have zero commute

I like this and it is very consistent.

And yet we don't prohibit the ownership or use of leaf blowers or police party noise. You can own the loudest sound systems known to man. I just find the way we change arguments around hobby externalities depending on the hobby to be i

I'd take this argument more seriously if people cared about non poor/non 'trashy' noise. For some reason we rarely see people up in arms about lawn mowers/leaf blowers/parties/screaming children etc.

Speak for yourself. I'd rather live next to that person than somebody with an immaculately cared for, landscaped yard/outdoor area.

Yeah, I bought my iPad for grad school because I was reading and annotating copious amounts of PDFs.

Procreate and Goodnotes for me. Using the Apple Pencil with either app gives me the benefits of analogue work and the benefits of digital work. Handwriting helps me remember things, but since the product is digital, it's trivial to m

I wish people took noise pollution more seriously. The same people complaining about car/mechanical work are the ones who have no problem with consistent leaf blowers/lawn mowers/parties/etc.

Thoughts and random advice mixed together: - Before you go to university/college and semi-regularly afterwards do a security/doxx/skip trace/etc. on yourself and your accounts. Even if you later do more impressive work,

I've read them and they're interesting, I just take most/all social science research with a giant pillar of salt, that included. For example, I have major doubts about how countries are evaluated for sex equality and I don&

This is going to take a long time. Longer than one would think if one is using the progression of the language model as a basis for this prediction. There are a lot of pitfalls and erroneous assumptions built into both Google's curre

It's still interesting to think about given America's current gerontocracy. My last position put me in contact with a fair amount of local and state level politicians in the US and I'm very concerned about the talent bases&

Those are fine. Those are what we put ours in. (My family has property with maple trees we tap.)

And that there's a place for everyone in the current economic model. I know from experience that I'm happiest doing 2-3 part time jobs. But in order to get things like benefits, job security, a salary over 15/hr, etc. I&#x2

My handwriting quality : No. How well and quickly I can do it? Yes, absolutely. I had to handwrite a bunch of stuff at work and my hand cramped embarrassingly quickly. I don't see much reason to address it.

They do sometimes, or at least they used to. I have some (very limited) visual art training, and one of the things I/we did in class was manually mash up already existing works. In my case I smushed the Persistence of Memory and the Ar

I do find it funny that artists are complaining about things like AI generated art clogging up art sites/reducing commissions/etc. because my particular artistic outlet of choice is writing and visual art has completely overtake

I find it weird that they're considered separate talents. Programming is a creative task for me, and one reason I never took it up as a full time job is that I learned I hate trying to do creative work on demand. (I've been paid f

I hate this, and I like Discord. Discord is a replacement for IRC/chat/AIM/other synchronous and informal conversation. It's not a replacement for forums, archives, or formal communication.

Wait until you're in a nursing home and can't go join your friends for Hyper-Bingo(TM) because it's all run through the Meta app due to an agreement between the nursing home and Meta. Bonus points if you chose the home before

I'd be wary of assuming the women's (and men's) choices are evolutionary - or at least nature versus nurture. It needs to be remembered both that having a choice at all is a fairly recent decision - 99.99+% of humans who ever

I'm a woman and it's correct as a data point though their assumptions about how the women feel about it are less accurate. In most cases, the male earns more and/or it would be a bigger hit to his career to be the primary car

I'm not the parent commentor, but I have MS which presents a lot of similar issues. For me, the main things I use to determine my limits are: - "Does doing this increase my odds of a relapse?": There are correlations between

Oh, it won't be 'mandatory'. It'll just require 26 hours of effort in a day to not engage or you'll need to put up with substantial weakness on the job and personal relationship (friendship and romantic) markets.

It's actually difficult to get mortgages for that small an amount. There were lots of properties here (MI) in that price range post 2008 and my dad ended up buying a house with a credit card because it was easier than trying to get a m

I was also (I got online at the age of 4 in 1993) and I think a lot of avoiding the pitfalls was being around adults in real life who understood how the internet worked. Not just my parents, but other adults as well. For example, I understo

The one thing about this that sucks is that if you have a chronic illness, you end up using all your PTO as sick and you get no actual breaks. (Whereas if you run out of sick days you can use FMLA or short term disability without giving up
