As long as people are part of the system it will never be as cut-and-dry as readjusting to simplify. I don't think we can even manage coping with something like replacing long-haul truckers with automated systems. I'm starting to

Could you imagine yourself at any sort of turning point? Or are you at the point where you'd just as gladly kill animals for food yourself? Not trying to criticize, it's how humans have existed for thousands of years — I'm ju

This is true in the US sometimes, but it varies wildly by state (and sometimes even city). In places where you do have the option there are companies that very aggressively market w/ door-to-door salespeople to attempt to get consumers

I haven't missed a payment for 20 years, but I also don't charge my phone on weekends and never answer a call from a number I don't recognize... so including lifestyle metrics tends to worry me. If you were to look at my life

Did you replace all instances across an entire site? Were there any forms on the site using that email address? Is that email address used anywhere else? What about people who are trying to still use the old email address? I know you'r

I recall reading an interesting theory on the mirror test: some animals for whom sight is a more secondary sense might fail a mirror test, but could potentially self-identify using other senses. Take dogs for example: their sense of smell i
