I agree a lot with you. But something about the definition of assertiveness you gave... I think it's better to approach it as a means of making sure you are taking care of yourself, so you have the ability to take care of others. Like,

Well, let's put it this way. Being a Polish-Jew in a rural, and very southern high school in Florida, one where I was considered a minority because there were no other minorities, wasn't all roses. Then when it came to being a whi

Are you serious right now? Half an inch thick and 4 pounds has a negative impact on your daily well being? For what I assume is a work computer. You've never picked up a shovel or any other tool in your life, have you?

Right? I kind of feel like I'm taking crazy pills finding out this was meant as a serious company.

I'm not trying to be too much of an ass... but is anyone really surprised? The whole thing seemed like a gag from the beginning. Was it really taken seriously? Reading that it has problems with soft dirt is kind of sad too. Plus, it to

This would be hilarious if it wasn't true. But sadly, it is true. There was a really good, and very serious video comparing Regus and WeWork. They went over what you just said, more or less.

PSA for anyone who does this, regarding the friends part. Hell, works well if you happen to move to a new place too. Go join a hobby club of some sort. Even if you're introverted. A structured "social" activity makes it super

Sorry, can't read the article, paywall. Mind giving a quick rundown? This is just based on what you said, and you might clarify afterwards. But I find it weird that palm oil planting was US led. They're only 6th in import: http:&

I mostly agree with you. My personal issue with it is the "talks". I want to see actionable planning, not people crying. To me, Ethiopia is currently a hero in trying to combat global warming by at least doing something. We can ar

First and foremost, you have to give the kid a lot of respect. Few people ever hit the world stage as adults. She did it as a teen. But, I've had an interest in geopolitics for about 2 years now. So, I've been reading and watching

From what I understand, most verifications are done because the OCC regulated them to do so. Maybe an agency here and there added other stuff. But at the end, the OCC is the one who knocks if a bank fucks up on information due diligence. Bu

What country? If it's the USA, you have either the OCC or straight up the FBI to rectify it.

I was about to argue that cash is just as susceptible to "theft". But then you brought up the freedom from legal action. That's a good point. At least with my dirty-dirty fiat dollars, you rob from me, my "forcefully tak

That's kind of what value means, being useful. Random hash algorithms are not inherently useful, thus, have no value. At least I could wipe my ass with a dollar bill or use the bill as kindling for a fire. I'm all for a currency s

>Any banker can confiscate any customer's money on a whim? That's the point behind the OCC (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency). They're to make sure that does not happen. Broad brush stroke, SEC for the banks. Chas

No, banks do not have the legal right to withhold a customer's funds with an account freeze if they don't have a warrant signed by a judge. It's still "your money" on loan to the bank. The silliness of being scared

Well, let's be honest about the "intelligent" part. Sure, there are some brilliant computer engineers out in SV. But would you say they're necessarily smart financial planners? The cost of living in a lot of parts of Cal

Eh, I don't think "tech bubble" is appropriate to nail down the problems. Egotism and hubris, along with thinking being above the rest of society is the problem. And to be fair, it shows up here in HN too. There's a weir

Without a USA liaison, they can't do that and it's illegal for them to do so. No one should ever take someone seriously acting on behalf of a foreign country trying to arrest you in America. Even Interpol needs a USA liaison.

Yup, everyday you step out into the streets in America and must dodge bullets. At every moment. That's sarcasm by the way. Gun crimes are still dropping. Our coverage however is increasing. What I love is when people confuse gun crimes

Question then, would you say that the French had cultural imperialism when most geopolitical issues were conducted in French just a few hundred years ago? Or how about the Latin stranglehold on science and medicine? Why should english, germ

Until you live on a farm and realize the ugly ones taste better by far measure and the pretty ones should just be fed to the chickens. Most people these days never get that experience. So they think what they're looking at is a pretty

No no, I'm not talking about damaged. I'm talking about "ugly". The strawberries and tomatoes at the store are perfect shaped. The breeds that pump out these typically lack the same intensity of flavor as heirloom variet

Why you're getting downvoted is beyond me. Because yes, same point. It's a water resource that's being exported at a potential unsafe rate compared to it being replenished. Which can have devastating impact on the environment

That's because you lot focus on peaches. Which, I mean, yea... Only good reason to risk getting a bs speeding ticket in Georgia is for a peach run.

I'm going to change up the countries so there's less emotional value associated. Why should Polish people leave their country so they can find work in England? In theory, countries should be self-sufficient enough to where only ni

Nobody knows... Just kidding. To my knowledge a lot go to processing, not consumer consumption. Typically these are also labeled as "ugly" because they're not always your traditional strawberry shape. Similar, Florida oranges

Florida has a fuckton of strawberry fields. I'm about 1-3 counties away from the major producers. In major grocery chains around me, it's all California and Mexico strawberries. You have no idea how angry that makes me.
