Plenty of retvrn types that are terminally online. You’re not likely finding them in person though in a major city. They’re probably barely scrapping by in a MCOL and don’t go out - thus, find them online.

Small towns can be great if you fit the mold. They’re terrible if you don’t. There’s inherently less diversity within a smaller population. I grew up in a small town. (4000 people, largest nearby was about 15 miles away and 20k. The nearest

The difference is that tech acts like it doesn’t have this issue. Other industries openly acknowledge they practice this and so expectations are set accordingly.

60 could be low. I take showers randomly and for whatever reason I want. It’s mostly for relaxation. But either way, it’s usually a minimum of two a day. One in the morning immediately after I wake up (this is when I actually clean up) and

Blaming the individual rather than the government is typical capitalist worship.

We live in a world (especially in the US) that requires a job to afford basic necessities of life. If you'd like to starve to death, by all means - do it.

Yeah, it’s weird. Software engineers are mostly just doing whatever gets them paid. End of the day, they’re laborers and they have no choice on what is being built. It’s not like most people in software are making enough to own a home in SV

This ignores the level of issues that most kids in foster care are suffering. People want a healthy child to start with. Most children in foster care are deeply afflicted and have deep traumas that will never be resolved by any new parental

Most people aren’t aware - especially in educated UMC circles like this one - how much the birth rate relied on teenage moms. The birthrate for educated folks has been below replacement for a long time. Teenage moms probably aren’t in their

These numbers don’t really account for the fact that the “official” suicide is 4x the rate of women. Men do more dangerous things but they also just kill themselves in many different ways that don’t get depicted accurately in the stats.

Yep. It’s weird to call out motorcycles when typically any good mountain roads frequented by motorcyclists are more commonly used by cars. Especially at night when any noise would be most disturbing. Motorcyclists don’t typically ride very

Is this advice in relation to dating and talking to women? If so, I’d agree. I can’t imagine most people want to hear endless complaints from their first few dates. That said, not complaining ever won’t get you anywhere either. (Even in a r

A context shift always changes things. At my core, I’m pretty similar to the person I was when I was very young. I was always looking for love and romance. It escaped me all my life and still does. So, in some sense, I’ve never changed and

Yeah, I don't know how much that represents the typical poor rural American life. Certainly doesn't match a lot of the narratives I've seen or heard.

Weird. I grew up in a similar environment. I didn’t enjoy it at all. Maybe the rampant violent alcoholism and meth just isn’t my thing. Of course, it had other major issues.

While senseless politics like this are going on that every person on HN is libbing out over - houses continue to be unaffordable, no universal healthcare, and wages will continue to stagnate compared to costs. Y’all are blind as hell to the

Another method for the state to collect tax dollars. Speed limits have a very low effect on “saving lives”. People will drive whatever speed they think is suitable for the road they’re on. Go out to places where the speed limit is 55mph but

I hear about this sometimes and I just wonder if the post-nut clarity makes you recoil. If I was finding my partner less attractive to the point of finding it challenging to become aroused around them, it certainly has more to do with them

I’ll add in a hot take. I think the entitlement of the more recent generations has a strong cause for this as well. I’m not one to say that millennials or whomever are more entitled than previous ones but when it comes to romantic connectio

I didn't think Aella of all people would put out a bounty. She must be looking for a wealthy man. As another commenter here said, it's two circles as far as the overlap goes for what she seems to seek - which I think is pointed ou

Ah yes, the US known for putting people in prisons where we use techniques the Nazis developed as part of our “enhanced interrogation”. USA is totally way better than China here!

At the very least, wages for the average citizen. It’s not perfect but at least there’s movement towards building something. What is the US building towards? Enriching billionaires?

At least for all the surveillance the Chinese do - the standard of life is improving overall. We don't even get that shit here in the US. Our life just gets worse by practically every measure as the years go on and we're taken adv

You could say the same about all the Chinese and Indian people who are massively over-represented in these companies. Go into the FB Ads org and try to find a single all American team, lol. You'll have a hard time even finding one Am

All positions. I've worked with many devs to executives that all were from Israel and had served in the IDF.

It being only 100 seems kinda low for the size of Meta and how many Israelis live in the Bay Area. There is a very large contingent that lives in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale. They’re nowhere near as large as the Chinese and Indian population bu

Being full stack used to be more exciting to me but with the front end still changing after what felt like we had reached some stability, I have decided I can’t do it anymore. It really caters to a particular type of early startup enginee
