Last night I accidentally ate sunflower seeds (to which I'm allergic.) Normally I just get, well, vomit-y, but this time I got a fun side dish of horrible wheezing and difficulty breathing. So, to go along with possible lost tendons, a

Also excellent are the Sonoma County Rye and the 1512 Spirts Aged Rye (their white rye is also good, but hardly what most people expect from rye; don't miss their wheat whiskey either.) By far my favorite rye though is Goldrun: http:&

Class issues help people from the wrong caste. Who cares about poor men when there are rich women who don't have enough in their lives already?

Of course it's not terrible for you, you're in charge and have high social status. No one punches down to you because no one's in a position to do so.

Cool story, bro! Your success is surely due to your hard work and Alger-like moral superiority, and not the fact that you're tall, attractive, and suave. Your advice is worse than useless for the average dateless loser, who will never

Well, first, GDP/capita isn't a great measure for how the average (low quartile?) worker is doing. I'd think you'd have to look at actual wage levels. Second, cost of living is different in the UK, US, and Poland. If w

Nothing "wouldn't exist." They'd just cost X% more or run Y% slower, which at our scale runs to $large-number, and I personally think that's valuable. I do get your point though, and I do wish sometimes I worked on

It is easy for the attractive to say that; like most traits, people don't like to believe dumb luck helped them. It makes a much better personal narrative if it was their own hard work. That doesn't mean it's backed up by any fact.
