Assuming you genuinely made a sincere effort and could not come up with plausible reasons for the resistance, I'll mention a couple that immediately came to my mind: - Breaking existing conventions - Using "being offended" as

The "you are either with us or against us" mindset will keep people from building bridges to approach each other.

Doing better in exams is not "potential", it is actual "performance" (in the test).

A system that relies on things being ideal is likely to fail indeed. An alternative that works better than "Don't break the chain" is "Start again with the smallest and easiest step you can think of". Hypothetical e

While my experience with teaching is next to nothing: informal mentoring at work and classroom teaching when I was myself a student, teaching younger classes (maths and science), I do feel that on the long run, it might be my calling. Every

I got a lot of popular 3DS games from the used games market and likewise also sold off some of them when I was done with them. I never bought any at more than half the retail price of the game at that time. Of course, for this reason (and a

Man, at some point, someone has to point it out. What the hell is with these clickbait headlines on HN. Is there no place on the internet saved from it? Even what used to be reputable news websites have it everywhere (and BBC of course sham

I have long thought about how to solves this problem with my cats. I currently have a two-door setup (analogous to an airlock) and this is not a problem. Nevertheless, what I try is to teach them that anytime I open a door which was previou

Some of your complaints stem from the cat(s) not having learnt what is and is not acceptable. They love to manipulate things with their paws and naturally many will try to swipe/push things and sometimes off ledges, shelves etc. You ca

Please allow me to address that in a different way: How do you intend to make such accomplishments come true unless you permit yourself to have a mindset which enables you to believe in yourself and work towards them? The multiple replies y

Mate, please seek help. This will eat you from within and you will suffer even more later. It pains me to imagine that. I also see your username is in the same vein as your message. The more you talk to yourself in that manner, the more it

I am no dietician or doctor. However, I can say that you didn't try the diet long enough to conclude if it had any beneficial effect for you. Also, given that you were not aware about the possibility of keto-flu, I suppose you also did

What you are describing sounds like a "keto diet". It is expected that people don't feel so good until the body adjusts to the low-carb diet. Often people speak of "keto flu" in the initial days.

I pity the child. There is but one childhood and I hope every child gets a chance to enjoy a carefree, fulfilling and fun childhood.

Typical satnav devices work fine without internet connectivity. Of course, such a device won't work if it can't connect to satellites providing positioning data but I think that was not what you had in mind when you said "con

You could also have another perspective: The people who bring children into this world, without the future child's consent are being selfish because _they_ want that child. You can never know if that person will grow up to have a miser

I absolutely love coffee and if I could get the same taste without caffeine, that would be a dream for I can then drink as much as I want! I love the taste and the aroma. Good luck with your hunt for the perfect espresso! There is no other

For some reason, my comment seems to have come across to you with an unintended tone. I was only trying to gently urge you to consider that even the relatively old have some years of life left and we draw the line at different places for di

Mate, most people live to grow old. What fulfillment in life would one have if many productive and/or desierable tasks were reserved for the young? Wouldn't it make the later years even harder for them?
