You don’t have to almost die to get ptsd. You can get it from * responding to a bad domestic violence call * responding to a bad child abuse call * getting attacked by someone on PCP where you ended up shooting him five times because he wo

My experience was similar to his. University was never designed for all people. What do you think the admissions process is for? The community college system is for all people. It’s open enrollment and will work with you wherever you are

Yes, put money into edu but that’s very different from giving teachers more money. Teachers do relatively little. The major influence is parents. You need to change the cultural mindset. You need to build more colleges. Computer science

Uh, because there is endless discuss by do gooders on how to help the poor and endless comments by the poor that they’re poor and can’t make ends meet.

Like all things you want to buy, sometimes you need to borrow or save beforehand.

How do we know you don’t have a girl in your basement tied up? That’s not how things work.

We live in the age of YouTube and almost unlimited access. Any group can get together, make a film, put it up on YouTube, etc. The thing is, membership in a group is no longer sacrosanct. Ask all the women who opposed men entering their sp

You can always quit. I’ve spent time at startups and some have quite good, one fantastic. The benefit is that in a small startup you get so much more exposure and are not siloed away.

You just refuted your own argument. Blacks in Africa do better than blacks in America. What changed? Did their DNA change? Did they get smaller brains? They now live in an environment not conducive to their success. To clarify, let’s ta

There is no faster to alienate people and get yourself off with smug superiority than to comment like this. We can go down the path of how much has been built by slaves, what you mean by enslaved, and how I am somehow responsible for that,

That’s absolutely false. It’s gatekeeping, pure and simple. I’m a guy, so I can’t imagine the pain of pregnancy? I had a large kidney stone once. The female doctor who had two children of her own told me that I experienced was more painf

Those aren’t police. They are part of the social safety net and community wellness. How would you ask a police officer to react to a criminal brandishing or firing a gun in public or at him? How would you ask detectives to work cases again

by david38 6y ago
Lots of people are against more police. Those take up between 50-70% of the taxes is many communities.

by david38 6y ago
There are other considerations as well. No community likes being reformed by others. Nobody likes being told to “be more like us” by others who (maybe) don’t understand the issues at hand. For sure, there is entrenched power, but there ar

You will be able to stop parents doing what’s best for their kids, not should you. To do so would be to bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator. We’re not a small homogeneous country like Finland. Local fundraising, usually f

Similarly, I think of it as your point 1 plus no practice. It’s nearly impossible to prepare for something and get it right when it’s never actually happened. Rockets for example get massive amounts of study and simulations and then still

Those particular ones? Sure. In general? That’s laughable. I’ve lived in places like that. The crime rate is sky high. Hell, the city I was born in was once the murder capital of the world. Only people I’ve ever seen say things like t

Spoken like someone who doesn’t make that kind of money and never had to make that decision. Facebook will not lose employees at their pay rate, they’ll just get different ones. You are definitely correct in that soft revolting is a waste.

This is a gross oversimplification. I have family members in law enforcement. In most cases it’s very difficult to tell the people apart. People can barely identify a single thief, unmasked, caught on camera, yet somehow they have these

You clearly don’t know much about how style jobs work. Sometimes it can be done anywhere, but there is a difference. Like most of the nicer things in life, if you can’t tell the difference, then it’s not for you. I suppose you think it’s l

I moved to Cali from Illinois. These numbers look correct. A similar, but smaller property was MORE than 10x greater in California.

I work in the valley. I take about six weeks. I stay home whenever I’m sick. Even if you assume I work 60 hours a week, I still make quite a bit more than I would in Germany. Even including health care. So yes, my per hour rate is better

So because you don’t know who’s done it, you don’t believe it? I know several who have openly admitted to it.

There are studies for everything. I love when people want to force something for “their own benefit”. I’m so glad you’re so concerned about my profits. “Companies” covers a lot of territory. Market sizes, markets, local laws, etc. The imp

It’s rarely just a discussion. It’s almost always a holier than though preaching session.

Exactly. The absence of disadvantaged isn’t privileged. Besides, all those people in America talking about other people’s privilege often neglect the massive one they have - living now, in a first world country. At the end of the day, thum

It’s also their mismanagement. If I loan you money, and you can’t pay me back, I should have done my homework. If you don’t like those rules, I shouldn’t loan money. It comes down to how much you are hurt. You can cripple me financially

There are ten other states that follow California’s regulations, so you’ll lose a lot more than just California.

I’m from Honduras. It’s a dangerous place. Roatan is safer though. Foreign investment I suspect keeps it that way.

It’s all relative and decreases exponentially the further from the person you get. Value ~= (sentimental value) + (entertainment value) + (financial value) + (time value) time value being how much time you add to my life, so someone inventi
