n = 1, but I've messed up a decent amount and never been fired or even laid off in over 15 years. Never seen anyone else mess up (in an accidental way) and end up getting fired for it, either.

I disagree with never using your real name. The internet is a real place. Block liberally, absolutely. Use anon accounts liberally as well.

Are you implying that feeling bad = being unkind to yourself?

I consider myself a YIMBY and I believe that a lot (if not most) NIMBYs do not operate out of financial self-interest. Defending the character of a neighborhood is often done against NIMBYs own potential financial benefit! Having more p

Even more so than the beer itself, having a nice space for people to meet up is often the biggest source of value. I'm thinking of Optimism Brewing in Seattle, where the beer is extremely mediocre at best, but the atmosphere is big, op
