Married to a wonderful woman who contributes in every way to our home - in the same way that I do. 2-3 children. Building my own house while the kids are growing up - in the Santa Cruz Mountains (or Portola valley or woodside or whatever).

Sounds like aspartame (my artificial sweetener of choice) seems to still be basically without side effect besides gut biome changes. Which doesn’t really mean anything currently because they don’t know if that has any measurable change in t

It’s just as childish because you’re making assumptions about the content based off a cover. It’s no different. Something something MLK quote something something.

They explained in a video why they do it… Most creators are explicit in why they do it. If they didn’t - their channel wouldn’t reach as far as it did otherwise.

Tbh - I find these things hardly overlap. People who like fancy things tend to like fancy things regardless of the job they have. Their satisfaction with their job rarely influenced their purchasing decisions - it’s mostly influenced by the

On the other hand if you hadn’t done what you did - you might’ve been perpetually single because no one likes dating a bum, never had kids, and would’ve never enjoyed any of the accommodations in your lifestyle.

I think this really depends on the type of work you're doing. I've found that often the work I'm paid to do at many jobs is one step away from pure code monkey - even if that job is pulling me $1m+/yr. It seems like the

It’s acceptance of people as they are but then ostracizing them from the community. We’re not including people who are different anymore than we did in the past. We’re just “accepting” them with words and not actions. I see this behavior a

9/11 had a response that was fueled by the media to get people into a frenzy to support an unjust invasion of multiple countries. The MIC was doing its job very well back then to make a multi-trillion war happen.

I despise remote/wfh articles for this reason on HN. At this point - some ML script could do a better job creating new comments than what people on HN could. Everyone has to share their 10,000th anecdote about why work from office kill

I don’t think most people disagree there’s a difference in how brains start - I think people disagree about the size of the difference and the importance . The brain seems far more plastic than the rest of the body in terms of potential.

Nothing. If you can perform at the arbitrary level your manager wants then who cares. Personally - I have no issue with this even if I was managing someone (I’m not). I find it almost ironic (if it wasn’t so typical) that so many here bitch
