i haven't heard about the first one yet. i totally believe it, but do we have an actual example of facebooks demands? are they documented somewhere? the second one i experience daily and it's driving me nuts. i am sure it is actua

mass media influenced and dominated people's understanding. it didn't do as much to expand it. to expand your understanding you had to and still have to do your own research and look at things that do not have mass appeal.

With social media everyone can choose their own adventure isn't the issue that you can't actually choose yourself, but that it is chosen for you?

large parts of vienna have also been destroyed in the wars, for example 80000 apartments were destroyed or unusable. so it's not underused real estate but more like empty space in the city to develop from scratch. any other city that i

the distributed responsibility for education in germany was expressly designed that way to prevent national indoctrination.

where i am from, such policing is illegal. germany has a different approach to freedom of speech. no institution is allowed to even monitor, let alone censor private conversations (that includes overhearing something). private conversations

you won't get an argument on that from me. it certainly takes work, good will and a desire for harmony. it takes a close community. that's why my life focus is on community building. can you share more about the spaces where you l

you didn't understand or even read what i wrote. my point was that talking to people in settings where talking is required is easier. and that is NOT the office, unless we are actually working on something together, but then i can also

it seems that at least according to the german wikipedia page about the topic in germany they came to the opposite observation. children who were sent away apparently suffered less than those that stayed in the war zones.

I have a feeling that people who feel isolated due to WFH would be same people who don’t interact with anyone in the offices as well i am experiencing this from a different angle. i am shy in certain situations so i don't easily soci

one idea is multi family homes. the idea is that instead if each family having having all their own space for themselves, you have a lot of shared spaces. consider that you need to be private, that's your bedroom and a bathroom. but yo

china destroyed its fertility rate with the one-child policy. so that is not comparable.

that's a defeatist attitude. it's not like we can't make exceptions. or arrange for other ways to earn your pension. besides, if you don't have children you get more time to work, so you pay more, which means, the benefi

yes, but what would be the point? they are still in school too, have no work and no income, so they are not going to pay child support either. the girl is better off without such a guy. my point is to support couples who actually want to be

i think you need to be more specific: if just the procedural generation was replaced or augmented with AI generation, would that be less acceptable? the procedural part is machine generated either way and everything else is done by hand as

ouch, i can't imagine the stress your parents must have been under that they lost control like that, or the pain you had to experience. i can somewhat sympathize. my dad had a rough temper too at times, but nowhere near what you descri

but this comes from parents being expected to have their life figured out and not giving them any help. if we accept as normal that young parents will not have their life figured out then we will also make sure that we don't leave them

we need a culture to where that doesn't become damaging to your career this is what i keep repeating over and over again.

there will be far too many people wanting that job i don't think so. you can control it with how high the pay is, or only pay for the first two children or something like that...

there are several comments here contradicting you directly and talking about how kids are a great experience.

given the economic realities of income between men and women, i think that makes sense.

if they work at companies we have 2x the workers i don't think that's what happened. i believe women wanting economic independence (rightly so) and thus pushing into work was a bigger factor.

the reason we have been fighting teen pregnancy is because as a society we decided not to support young parents, and because teen pregnancy happens out of wedlock with the fathers usually disappearing. i believe historically this comes from

but this is support for living expenses, not tuition. if you are frugal you can get by not spending all of it. that's what i did. when it was time to pay, i was able to pay off all of it at once which afforded me another discount.

incidentally a few years ago china banned tutoring, but to my understanding it was mainly because most tutoring places were scams, and maybe also because mostly rich parents would spend the money, thus giving them an advantage.

true, i get these attempts on my server daily. but here too you got less popular alternatives, so the same principle applies.

weather, mainly rain, is only responsible for weakening the soil under the pavement, the actual holes are created by traffic. so as long as there is no traffic, holes would not form. especially holes getting larger also depends on traffic.

well, i did say it's not enough, but i disagree, if you assume free childcare, then the real cost according to statistics is not much higher than that because the bulk of the cost in those statistics comes from expensive childcare, yet
