Unplanned pregnancies and willingness to go through with the pregnancy is also much more common at lower incomes. We have a single mothers epidemic. It’s common to have kids from multiple partners at those incomes. There’s nothing stopping

Definitely take this into account when driving too! Don’t just rubberneck at the victims. Check surroundings to see what could’ve caused it. I was out on pescadero creek road and saw a guy had wrapped his 911 turbo around a tree. This parti

I’m sure this attitude isn’t a reason at all for why kids have poor relationships with adults.

I disagree with both. Code and business value are worthless. Boss approval is literally everything. It really doesn’t matter if your ideas make a ton of business sense if they are in conflict with your direct manager or any part in the chai

It also depends on the types of friends you want and seek. Some of the types of people we desire to be around aren’t going to be in those areas. If you’re into tech but live around a bunch of troglodytes - you’re not likely to make many fri

At a beginner level, maybe. As you get past beginner levels, you need strength… especially upper body strength. Rock climbing is especially upper body strength intensive. It’s why the guys have ripped upper bodies and tiny legs.

> low taxes and low spending? Almost no one in power in the USA is actually low taxes and low spending. Maybe a few libertarians scattered throughout the country that managed to get a seat but they're a very small minority. Everyone

Well - to be more clear - SF is socially progressive. It is incredibly fiscally conservative. It is part of Silicon Valley - a neoliberal paradise. The whole area is incredibly classically liberal and not socialist leaning at all... After a

Ymmv with that though - I found some were just trying to get you to buy anything even if the size was completely wrong altogether.

Things like this bring out the most socially conservative commentators. I know some subreddits do these kinds of posts to tag all the conservative commentators that are lurking and won’t flair themselves.

No place to charge at home. I like sports cars that have the top go down. I like noise. Didn’t have any real connection or soul. Terrible seats for driving on backroads. Super hard to stay in place. Kept sliding all over the seat due to no

HN in general isn’t a super progressive space. It’s inherently capitalistic (it’s owned by a VC) and that is going to favor cops more often than not. (Need someone to be the strong arm of capital)

We’ve let the pendulum swing very far as to what women are allowed to say without judgment/condemnation. It will hopefully swing back one day to a more modest position where it’s a more equal ground. If you can believe it - I get shit

Height is just one metric. You might have a stellar face - which is actually the most important metric in todays dating market. But having a great face and being short, bald, and obese isn’t going to lead you to winning results either. The

I agree - I give everyone multiple chances. But I’m saying give up at a certain point. Some people just ain’t worth bothering because you’ll never make meaningful progress in the time you have. Time is finite. Don’t waste it.

Another essential is to just give up. Can't recommend enough! Similar to the 5% rule article about shitty customers. Just drop the people who do this shit. Also - sometimes you just run into people with a sour taste in their mouth and

I think context is important. This year I mostly spent it planning for the later half. I had a toxic employer and was upset with how dating was going post-divorce (in that - nothing was happening at all. I’ve still never been on a date and

I dance a lot. Some people assign dancing closely with another as a form of great intimacy that should only be done with someone special. But for some forms of dance - this is the normal way to dance with anyone. Some folks go through a sim

I agree but like effective altruism, incel, and other such terms… the meaning in our culture is different now. Effective altruism is about finding the most effective way to use your money/time to improve happiness for the most people.

Yep. If there was such a big issue with hiring - we wouldn’t see these insane leetcode and system design interviews that require months of dedicated studying in order to pass them. (Even though you’re a perfectly adequate engineer and worki

Then you end up on the job market. I know the emails they’re talking about. They’re not as simple as writing the facts. Writing an extremely complex technical email in jargon and ways for people who aren’t familiar with any of it - even sli

The argument I've seen is that basically because we'll never have that post-ww2 levels of construction - building more market rate housing only pushes existing tenants out of the city. You have to usually tear down existing housin

Yeah - his issue is that he rather block any market rate housing rather than it not be public government housing. That’s tough when we live in a super neoliberal country. Government housing is dreaming. He lives from a place of comfort sinc

Your first problem is thinking there was ever a “left” in the US to begin with. Democrats are a center party - at best. They’re neoliberal at their core. What’s the best way to get people advocating for left oriented reforms? Break them up.

by bradlys 4y ago
Both movements in the US are very neoliberal. The US doesn’t have a real “left” movement. It has a center movement at most. Most posters here are talking about economics - which have little to do with “woke” anything.

Main issue I see with this form of trying to keep people up to date with your life is that it requires a more intense attention span and willingness to know what’s going on. I think social media as it is thrives on short form content becaus
