Absolutely. In certain environments you have to even self-censor your political affiliation. https://www.snopes.com/news/2016/11/11/grubhub-ceo-trump-vot...

My daughter who has autism constantly says things that could be considered offensive because she's not aware of sensitivities around race, gender, orientation, etc. It certainly can explain it for certain individuals. You can't sa

I wasn't commenting on your English. I just thought it was strange to describe conservatives this way. In the US, true conservatives believe in smaller governments and less laws (more individual freedom). So I'm not sure how conse

There is some of the "broken windows theory", but it's mostly the staff. There are lots of people who want to work there (my wife worked there in her teens) so they are able to pick good people and they staff the place. There

Curious - are you suggesting LA needs more public (free) housing for the homeless? Or just more "normal" homes that have to be rented/purchased?

I'm with you. Service dogs are fine. They are highly trained and don't cause any ruckus (and they are pretty rare). But there is a rise in "emotional support" animals. These dogs are usually not trained and you're s

I had 10 wonderful years. You also save money on food. I'm too lazy to pack a lunch so working in the office means buying lunch every day. At home I just grab some leftovers in the fridge and heat it up. My favorite part is doing my sh

Probably a very dumb question. Why do sites like Yelp/Quora try very hard to force you to use the app instead of the web site? Isn't it easier to make money on ads on the web? In the Yelp app I don't get any ads. I may be mor

Amazon hooked me when they rolled out Prime and free shipping. So now any time I think of something I need, I open the app on my phone and click buy. I feel guilty but it's just so easy. It's a pain purchasing across different sit

Totally agree. I was dropped into a C++ class in college with very little (even using a computer) experience. Later I was eased into web development. Totally different way to be introduced to the field.

This is a great story. It's interesting how someone can have no interest or aptitude in a subject, but then later in life revisit that subject and thrive in it. In college I struggled with my programming classes (did not enjoy them) an

I think saying "so easy to solve" is a gross over-simplification and insensitive.

Judeo-Christian values are the basis of the west's moral code. It's so ingrained you may think it's innate. But it's not hard to impress a different set of values if you preach them from birth. People years ago who belie

This is being down voted but I think there is merit to what you are saying. Personally, I have a strong sense of community being a member of my church. I really consider it an extension of my family. People in the church care (the best they

I usually stick with light subjects that don't require a great deal of concentration. If I get lost I'll just jump back 30 seconds or a minute. I've found that dense books don't work as audiobooks. I need to concentrate

Correct. Or if I find a coupon getting canned item X for a nickel a piece I buy 50 of them for the foodbank.

Point 3. They've done these types of things and often they are unsuccessful (light rails systems for example). The suburban lifestyle is very strong in the US culture. Just because you build something doesn't mean it will get used

I really enjoyed http://atulgawande.com/book/the-checklist-manifesto/ . Very interesting and at times frustrating. You ask yourself why more hospitals can't implement success described in this book.
