I agree that work and politics should be separate, but Google has already built itself a reputation for its strong political leanings. Every few weeks they have some sponsored video on YouTube promoting their political leanings and their in

And the pool of Asians that American companies can choose from isn't anywhere near the entirety of that 40% due to visa and language restrictions. A very large number of them are within the population already living in America. Despite

Developed countries as a whole have dropping birth rates. Europe, America, and East Asia are facing an impending crisis because their birth rates are dropping so fast. The current solution is "don't worry just bring in poor people

The fact educated people aren't having children is a global phenomenon. The US relying on poor, undereducated immigrants is a temporary solution for what is becoming a bigger problem by the day as more and more countries become develop

America isn't turning away Nobel Prize winners. This system is open to those who are educated and/or skilled. It's difficult for those who aren't. Many countries have similar immigration standards. It's only when Am

The vast majority of the world deals with seasons. It'll be okay. And frankly, the PNW is outright pleasant. The NE gets covered in snow for 1/4 of the year, and transplants to Portland and Seattle complain about it being cloudy.

It's been a few years, but I recall there being research into 100% mapping out crab or ant behavior and it was getting to a point of being quite accurate. Mammal brains have a few extra layers of complexity, but none of those layers in

To be fair though, think about getting the flu without access to clean water or decent food. When you're vomiting several times a day, it's necessary to stay hydrated. If you live in a place without a steady supply of clean water,

It highly depends on the city. In Kyoto, people only speak to me in English. I've even seen asians get talked to in English there when their fashion/behavior stands out as slightly non-Japanese. Everywhere else, I get straight, ev

Seriously. I don't want to become one of those types to shit on journalists, but trying to deemphasize all the world's issues and pinning it on "those boys and their games" makes it hard to defend. And the article basica

I think a big reason ancient towers didn't really exist is less because they couldn't be built, and more that nobody wanted to climb up 5 or 10 floors if they could avoid it. No sane person would go up and down 20 floors if they c
