I'm in basically a similar situation right now and I'm honestly wondering if going back to school for a more engineering focused degree would be the best move. Does anybody know how a Software+Aerospace engineer would be valued at

Agree. As much as I love HN, I think it suffers from too much snobbery at times... Which is why I've decided recently (since turning 27 and a half) to transition away from online forums and focus on building pen-pal relationships with

Its not just a generational issue, its also a religious one. A massive barrier to acceptance is admitting that humans have the ability to render earth uninhabitable, something that God either A) wouldn't allow to happen, or worse B) is

Okay, but that's a pretty big assumption. You can't go on a large tirade against twitter censoring alternative journalism without something to back it up. If you were worried about this feeding into twitter's algorithm why wa

Not only are you assuming their gender/spousal preferences, but I feel this grossly simplifies the issue. Not everybody needs a "wife" (maybe you should have said partner) and I'm not sure why you are assuming that would

>because what's the point of life if you don't share it with others? That seems like an assumption created by social pressure. There are plenty of aspects that make life worthwhile that don't need to be shared.

Agree. In my experience (LD) there are no real rules in debate, only what would convince the judge to vote for you. If that shakes up the "meta" then that's a plus. The way to make debate about truth seeking is to find the ri
