Most religions teach the golden rule. Treat others as you want to be treated. And if I was poor I'd want someone to feed me.

This is a little concerning to me. I see religion and the state as opposing forces for change. I wish we had more diversity in how atheists could organize outside of religion.

This is a misnomer. I looked in the education section and the 4th item down was a educational charity sponsored by a religion. https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summar... That 31% is donations to church

I have thought about this a bit. It would be awesome if there was a camera next to the recycling bin that could recognize the container and give advice on what to do with the material and any rules on it. Such as cardboard can be recycled

People are very dynamic, we either grow together or apart. My current success at marriage is due to a concerted effort not only to find out what interests my wife but to take an active role in it even if I don't wholesale agree. Then

Every single success I have right now is due to my wife's support. She is my partner in everything. When I worked at a startup, she suffered. When I am successful in something it's because she's there sacrificing with me.

What predictions? If you believe in scientific modeling at ALL. AKA you think global climate change is scientifically sound, then you should probably look at the population growth predictions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

There is a whole campaign around this. I've read through some of their stuff but if you're digging and see some red flags please bring it back here because I'd love to know. https://nonotoriety.com/

>But the best thing that could happen to this post is that it makes a lot of people, especially myself, figure out how to be more tolerant. Not in the “of course I’m tolerant, why shouldn’t I be?” sense of the Emperor in Part I. But in t

Isn't this a problem online too?

I disagree, I think that: People want to go about their day and not be hit and have to reject people face to face. It's a difficult interaction human interaction to have. People DO want to go about their day and be hit on by the right

Thanks for the additional info, I got my advice in brown bear territory.

I'm a moderately educated on hiking around cougars and bears. But I'm by no means an expert. Cougars and Black Bears -> when encountered you want to appear as big and menacing as possible. You scare them off. AKA if you have

I use Pluralsight and I love their videos. I had a subscription I'd paid for and then I changed companies. My new Company provided a subscription. So I called up and they refunded me the prorated subscription. I see you emailed custom

I have this same problem. The best thing I can do is attempt to use my natural inclination to help people like OP. To that end, I'll usually say things like. "I think this is what "president" was saying, am I right?&quo

I find simply stating, "Excuse me but I wasn't finished." Is typically enough to get the point across. You can be polite and not allow people to railroad you.

I've been this guy. When volunteering in Haiti, I was just... mad at the world. I hated everyone who didn't want to move to Haiti and help. Then I started reading about Paul Farmer, who has arguably done more than I ever will but

This is a complex computation to come up with. Ideally we could set up a mining operation that didn't require additional fuel from earth. That would be costly in CO2 if we used that as a measure. However, after being set up all that w

This program is called running start. It's amazing. All you pay for is books. IF you transfer in state the college has to take the credit. If you transfer out of state you're typically treated as an AP student. (My experience 1

The program doesn't require you to be a transfer student. You actually get a HS and AS/AE degree at the same time. So you have the option to be a transfer student but you also have the option to go through the normal application

I think the best way to see how society could not see what would happen is to watch any TV show that has ever tried to predict the future ever. Smartphone? Rarely seen but critical to our society. Twitter? Ha. Facebook? People actually spok

K-12 is the least expensive part? I'm willing to be convinced but I don't buy that. If you look at a State School tuition would have to be 3x more than what K-12 would cost for parents. I say state school because I feel that&#x

Your parents didn't give you bad advice at the time (that is without the hindsight of current knowledge). At that time it was GREAT advice. The problem with advice is it only works in hindsight. I'd suggest anyone going into col

Andrew Yang had a great reason for NOT signing the progressive pledge and why he didn't support free college for everyone. His reasoning was 2 fold. 1) His UBI would help college students drastically and be a stimulus for college age k

I really try to stick to this approach. My method is that I tell my kid to go to his room and that there will be consequences. I don't define them. Usually after I've calmed down I ask him which consequences he thinks he deserve

That's a fair point. But if we also compare the meddling in this century to those past this one has had the fewest deaths due to war, famine, etc. This is, from what I've seen, a commonly held principle is fundamental to my belie

That is exactly what I'm saying. EDIT: With the caveat that. end edit. In the absence of said democratically controlled police force I think the USA military is not the worst substitute. It's not a good one, but it's better

Why are police necessary anywhere? To enforce the rules of the land that enact peace and order. China is trying to steal territory from the Philippines, they arguably don't have the power to fight China. Without allies in the USA the
