How can one not being a "culture fit" be interpreted in any way that is not blatant discrimination?

Is it the highlights of their life? Or is it 80% politically biased news stories, pinterest desires, funny videos and pictures, complaints about random encounters with people, and lots of "This"ing?

I'm in the same boat, to the point where she asked me to password restrict her being able to install the facebook app. She'll still access it through the web interface, she says to make it more difficult to access. She's the

I'm curious, what is a specific zoning ordinance which prohibits small houses? In my county, the building code does not mandate a minimum size, but many HOA covenants do. Or is it just the grouped houses that are outlawed, like minimum

There may still be too much emphasis on 4-year college requirements for most vocations in the US. Mediocre students are being pushed towards college, where they may or may not graduate, and end up with debt even with federal and state subsi

I think transparency and the ability to opt-in is key. With facebook, I realize I'm using a free service supported by ads and trust they abide by their end of the user agreement to use my information only in the ways they say they will

DoD members get screwed as well, as seen in several high profile instances, but you can't just point to a couple cases and think that indicates a trend. I'm sure surveys of large tech companies and the DoD would show that professi

Are you implying that private corporations are more motivated to take advantage of their employees for profit, rather than just trying to keep them happy and productive? I doubt tech companies care much about the profits from these endeavor

Is this any different from living on a military base? Government employees get cheap shopping, entertainment, restaurants, social services, and decent neighborhoods with playgrounds and pools. It does seem more noble to be patriotic than lo

Instead of straight income, would a better method look at AGI, or account for cost of living in some way? Colleges doing this would be a boon for people in small towns like mine, but would offer smaller advantage to those living in high exp

Right, it's like no child left behind for college kids. So small, private, and usually online colleges are taking advantage of poor people with access to subsidized tuition. I agree that's a problem, but creating a broad-spectrum

Anecdotal, as is this whole thread, but I have off and on experience with Linux, starting with Red Hat around 2001, several different distros, laptops and PCI wifi cards, and I don't remember ever having to separately download a NIC dr

Efficiency isn't the question, of course it isn't efficient. You're giving up one person's salary to teach a couple kids. The effectiveness of homeschooling is what's important, which, I think, is largely determined

Arguments like this make me wonder whether we should pursue homeschooling. My kids are 2 and 4, and we've been going back and forth on the decision. We couldn't afford private school, and my wife is already staying home. Our count

I would think they could just screen frequent donors with rare blood types for infections. Once the donor is known safe, compensate however is needed to get their blood. I believe there are private industries doing this. This one will be op
