As stated in the blog post, if I were her, I would tone down the internet stuff to be less in your face blatantly sexual in terms of framing of photos while continuing to dress exactly the same way. It is a position of "I can dress any

I wouldn't dress that way because I am 52 and I don't look like that. If you've got it, flaunt it. If I looked like that, I might be doing exactly the same thing. But the main point of my post is this: years of trying to get

Thanks. If anyone else replies, I am in a small town and people are responding to me with "oh, you are a web designer! We could use your help!" I am not a web designer. But I am a content creator and can serve as a content manager

That's nice. What makes you think I care to hear about your open contempt and dismissiveness of my opinion?

I wonder if it is any different in other countries with better health coverage and more family friendly policies.

I am a woman. I think she ought to tone it down a bit. I blogged about that. Edit: ironically this comment was being ignored as long as I had the disclaimer in it that I am routinely accused of victim blaming for trying to empower women. I

I am really sort of tired of the articles and discussions of homelessness and "the homeless." It is very othering. Will we ever talk about how society no longer provides affordable housing for young single adults and similar demog

Well, according to the Christian Bible, god was lonely, so created humankind. If you believe that origin story, then our purpose is to be entertainment for a cosmic intelligence.

This seems to be a rare case of a woman turning a stumbling block into a career stepping stone. Given the amendments being made, I hope future press for Ms. Wu on HN is for her work, not her gender, wardrobe or being slandered.

Off the cuff opinion: Sex has a strong emotional component. People who are "sexually needy" are often really emotionally needy and emotionally unhealthy. They are attracted to things with a strong emotional component, but low comm

Men in my entourage just whispered and snickered. It isn't manly to be a victim. The people whispering and snickering are likely either horrible people who don't get victimized because they make sure they are taking advantage of

Going to court to clear your name can result in the Streisand Effect. Lots of people are very judgey about sex. Letting more people know can just compound the problem, even if you win. It also is kind of like throwing good money after bad.

I have found that it is possible to entirely avoid gray areas by abiding by very strict standards that avoid any possible misinterpretation. I have also found this makes me seem cold, rejecting and unapproachable. Establishing trust is a k

I don't think it is helpful to pretend there is no gray area. Talking about how to avoid grey areas is good. Pretending they don't exist is potentially dangerous and strikes me as toxic and blamey.

(not profitable, burning money, I'm paying) In my experience, the thing getting your goat is often kind of the dog you kick because you can't kick the real source of the problem. I imagine that burning money coming out of your

Sure, but what causes the amyloid beta? Recent research shows that lack of sleep increases both amyloid beta and tau. One of them increases after a single bad night. The other takes a few days of too little sleep to start spiking. There m

Start a file somewhere. Use whatever is familiar and comfortable for you. Make it something easy with a very low barrier to usage. You might even just start with an email draft. Put a link to this discussion in it. Over time, cull through t

I did spend some time looking over Indie Hackers yesterday. I am unclear whether anything I do at all fits there. But thank you for suggesting it. I am trying to figure out how to get taken more seriously, in spite of it being an uphill bat

There is contact information in my profile. If this advice were genuinely being given in good faith out of some kind of concern for my welfare, it could have been done privately. Since it wasn't, I see no reason to take any of it at al

It is a left-handed way of dismissing me personally. I have already commented on that. I plan to bow out of this conversation. The entire thing has been a really shitty experience for me. This plus other crappy things on HN today has me pre

I generally don't discuss politics. I am careful how I discuss religion. I also find that being side by side or sitting at a 90 degree angle instead of face to face reduces the sense of confrontation. It also helps if you are doing oth

Then you go to a college campus and cyclists behave as if they have the right of way over pedestrians (ex: stanford). This varies a lot from place to place. In San Diego County, cyclists would yell at me "Excuse me!" And you kne

It's really unusual to just launch into deep conversation with someone you barely know. It's not that unusual for me. This might be part of why people seem to have strong reactions to me, whether positive or negative. I am prett
