If this is the case, then why should we change the way everything currently works around the fact that you are capable, but not interested in socializing?

I've been active on Hackerone for a decade. A good report written by a human has issues making it through. These AI written reports have no chance.

These are all highly intelligent, successful people in their own right. I wouldn't expect Biden or Harris to surround themselves with anyone but left-leaning people. Why would Trump do any different?

If you can live for a year or more without working, I would quit. I did this in my 30s and picked up some contracts while living in Asia for a year. It was great.

All we saw for 4 years was articles talking about how we were in the best economy ever and downplaying inflation, ignoring the actual issues at hand and changing nothing (while Americans continued to suffer). Would we even see this article

Even worse is the 'air drop' craze of the crypto world. I also think the people that invested (and lost) their money in HAWK coin knew what they were doing. They wanted to pump and dump the coin and couldn't get out fast enou

No. Like many things in 2024, the definition of 'sexist' has expanded to include so many other things, it seems like more young men are sexist, when the reality is that it's probably the same.

I made lots of friends (and eventually my wife and best man at my wedding) in my early 30s by first joining a meetup group and eventually becoming the organizer for it. It was disbanded a few years ago (before Covid), but I still hang out w

I have two kids and while I was never depressed, I can see how it can happen. You get virtually no sleep for at least a year after the kid is born and you have to completely change your life routine (no more last-minute weekend trips for my

When you are in the final stages of life and have nobody to visit you, you will regret this type of thinking.

So it's a logical fallacy then. I could say Musk doesn't criticize elephants too. Does this mean he supports them?

"but what you've described is nonsense" If what I described is 'nonsense', criticizing Musk for not criticizing China is also 'nonsense' and this entire conversation is moot. But I suspect you don't f

Can you find me a single criticism, from the people that are criticizing Musk, of what I described here?

"Musk is keen on criticizing many governments, domestic and foreign. But has Musk ever criticized the Chinese government? Even once?" We are going to go here, when the Democrat party has not only had spies in their offices from Ch

I pay for my own insurance (which isn't even top tier) and had a colonoscopy (with polyps removed) and it costs me around $500. I've had this procedure done multiple times, since I have a family history and have never been charged

Reddit was just Digg with a different theme. It was floundering until Digg decided to make the mistake of plastering ads everywhere and making it unusable. Digg should get the credit for starting Reddit. Before this, it was just fake posts&

"This suggests that academic success is shaped by structural forces similar to those that govern social mobility, where the advantage of having a top mentor can lead to a self-reinforcing cycle of success" This is not surprising.

Amazon warehouse work pays almost $20/hour where I live, which is well above the federal minimum wage and more than almost every other company in the area for this type of work. This is a living wage. "should be replaced with rob

I use Linux daily (command line only) alongside Windows. It's amazing to think that after all these years, Linux on the desktop (with GUI) still isn't even close to windows in terms of functionality. I've tried it over they y

No. You are the one confused. So a 3rd-hand conversation that was most likely a joke is compared..to..actual..murder? More insanity. You do realize Lefists tried to murder president trump three times and it's been memory-holed. Right

It's not a 'moral debate'. One side is insane for thinking it's justified to kill someone over perceived injustices. I saw this lunacy for years on the left. I'm just glad America finally woke up and voted it out

Why is this shocking? Biden packed his white house roster with people that he thought would help him politically. This is literally the president's job.

"That’s honestly how life is meant to be lived but it’s too bad we’re not at UBI levels in society yet" This sounds great. My question is why should I have to work and pay for you to do what you want all day?

I believe it. Most extroverted leaders I've had were bullshit artists that spent more time networking and socializing to make up for their lack of skills.
