You're aware that you don't need a Twitter account to read tweets yea?

I never started any social media account, do I get to write an article in the NYT now? No? No offense but as much as I am pro people quitting their digital addictions articles like that are getting annoying. #nooffense #duh

I am very aware of that but overall it still looks like it if you have a look at all topics, personal stories and experiences etc. I'd be rather fearful to go the the US, starts at the border, then their cities and then I'd be fe

reminds me of: "Have you ever sailed across an ocean? On a sailboat surrounded by sea with no land in sight? Without even the possibility of sighting land for days to come. The stand of your helm of your destiny. I want that. I want to

That is a misconception and has been debunked (same goes for reading in dim light), I been a kid like that and I basically spend all day since the last 15y in front of a computer and I have near perfect eye sight. The "screen time&quot

I wonder what text to speech would "hear" there. Should be similar interpretation as mine.

Aren't they saying in the beginning "I am freezing cold and my shoes'r off"? I hear lot of phrases and words, must be my brain tricking me.

How can one say something such irresponsible? A lot of the problems in the world and peoples personal life are caused by reproduction. It is not a right but a choice and this choice most seem unable to make with a clear rational mind, if an

But the struggle of the working poor is not because of the amount of work (topic), but because of a unfair economic system. p.s. if you read above you'd knew I been in such situations too, I kind of grew up with that

Yes I agree, there are people with bad luck but I was not talking about those, I meant more in general. I am not saying one should not help, the topic was about work anyway, my point was simply that if people step back with their wants they

If you have children you can't complain if you have to work more. It is a decision, kids cost money, everybody knows that. Same goes for location to live in, what you eat, if you want a car...my point is : you don't NEED much. Mos

Unpopular opinion: It is easy to work less or nearly work nothing and still get by fine (in the context of the modern western world!), the issue is more that people spend their money in bad ways and make bad long term decisions. If you live

I can't be the only techy who got more and more technophob over the last 10 years, which many of my friends find so funny and if they ask me why I usually respond with "because I know what's on the dark side"
