Interesting, I did have to do two separate surgeries because my first got botched (I was a ten out of ten in terms of hardness according to them). Had some residual nerve damage...

Abortion access is not a social view. It's a health necessity, as is contraception. I'd understand if "the left" was trying to take away some other person's right, but this is the opposite. They're trying to

I often wonder about this, because they made me remove mine due to "risk of infection". But afterwards I now get infections there if I get food stuck in the pocket left behind and can't get to a water pik soon enough.

This is a common life viewpoint in general. Bad things happen to other people because they did something to deserve it. Good things happen to them because of luck. Good things happen to me because I deserve it. Bad things happen to me bec

I'm honestly more interested in studying the most ineffective founders. We spend too much time focusing on survivors, when I feel like the best learning comes from looking at failure. I'd be willing to be there's a lot of fai

Which is funny, because we've seen prices go up despite wages remaining stagnant for the most part.

Honestly, to me, this sounds more like an older person take than a young person take (ironic given your claim of boomer whining). America is not exceptional! Talking about demographics / geography, all that bs is how we get rooted in

Me or the article? No need to go on the attack btw, I was pointing out the privilege / falsehood rooted in saying young folks don't need healthcare. I stand by my statement, healthcare is much easier to solve (we have examples of

What... I don't know if you realize this but plenty of young folks need healthcare. Ultimately, we can do both (fixing healthcare and housing). But honestly more countries have solved healthcare than housing.

Grateful I turned that shit down in 2012. Even then the evidence against it was overwhelming (basically, it makes sleep apnea worse because scar tissue comes back fierce).

Keep in mind survivorship bias though. There are probably loads who pivot multiple times yet still end in failure.

I did a coop there during college. They took a month to get me a laptop. Then gave me 0 direction or tasks. At graduation they offered me a full-time position. Yeah, nah.

I honestly think I'd quit my job if I had to go back to any other system. Not sure what could be next for maintaining / styling, but this is the best I've ever had it.

It's the old, "what if one day I'm the billionaire, then it might harm me!" combined with pride if they already have a high salary (in their opinion).

I was wondering where the side of "what if we reduce pollution for nothing???" would move the goalposts. I have no idea what would convince these folks to reduce pollution.
