These all sound like they could be disadvantages to another person.

My comment on the effectiveness of antidepressants is in reference to the way many doctors seem to view these drugs, not based on any particular studies or evidence.

Antidepressants are overprescribed (just like how Ritalin was like 15-20 years ago) because they work so well that doctors reach for a pill as their first course of action while ignoring other less life altering options. Some people also fi

Symbiosis? I don't think anyone is in charge of that.

Typed Racket is the only one I've come across but I'm sure there are a few more.

At least not initially - and you're right that many will never reconsider the world view passed down to them or some may reconsider and decide it's the best because it's comfortable etc... But ideology is still much easier to

Both sides are guilty of this and always have been. If you think name calling and teasing are counterproductive then you must realize that race/gender/sexuality based slurs are all part of that as well. Not only are they counterpr

Yeah I've been following this for a while. The people who locked him up seem to be seriously threatened by what he was working to uncover, but beyond that it makes no sense.

That was beautiful. Your morning routine is very similar to mine was last year before the company I was working for 'wasn't able to pay me anymore' -- which is possibly one of the best things that could have happened at that

Yeah, unsolicited life advice is definitely a problem for depressed people and doctors suggesting medicine can fall into that category sometimes too. I would never criticize a person about the treatment they've found to work for them o

I completely I agree with you as well, there are many reasons a person could be depressed including strictly scientific/medical reasons. However, I still feel very strongly those "boo hoo" items build up to create new problem

There are also lots of people being killed by drugs prescribed to help treat depression, many of them are suicides as well. These are not long-term solutions. The parent comment seems to be suggesting that people with depression need to tak

Sure, the way the law works is different for black communities. For example, http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/06/news/ferguson-arrest-warrant... shows that people in Ferguson are being arrested for things th

This is a very forgiving point of view. Institutional racism is real and because of that it can't be undone by just pretending everyone is equal all of the sudden. It is much more nuanced than you make it out to be. That being said, ma

That is one way of looking at it. But the hate is already being spread and has been spread by our new president's campaign. For non-white people his election is a direct threat against their well-being. If the anti-trump protesters are

They aren't just bad words. How must it feel to be a child growing up in a country where the president has demonized you, your whole family and heritage? That must influence how a person sees themselves in the world. There will definit

I do stop going to a restaurant once I or someone I know has gotten sick there. Look at Chipotle for instance, they are dealing with similar contamination related problems.

The stakes for medicine are very different. There is much more incentive to try a drug that may or may not work when compared with the potential gain of eating an experimental food.

Sounds like they have a bug in their "food stack" and this modification is like printf debugging - if no one gets sick then it was the algae, otherwise they will need to continue poking around to figure out what's wrong. What

You and the OP have a difference in opinion regarding what higher-education should be used for. You're concerned with potential job prospects while the article seems to deal with developing yourself as a main priority. I went to an art

I totally agree you except I do think that the web can mess up the server-side stuff as well. At the core things can be really simple, but then you need to set up SSL, some kind of database and potentially integrate a bunch of different ser

Thank you! This means a lot to me.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't believe that "things can't be worse" but rather "things could be better than what we have today"

I understand where you're coming from, however, there is no doubt an existing entitlement issue that is directly based on how much money you have. We have ALL seen this. Also, what history books are you talking about? I've read so

Your comment made me a bit sad because I read it as "What happens when those who struggle everyday to survive no longer have to?" - I understand your fear of entitlement etc... but I don't think things could get much worse th

It's more than just 'I have a hunch' - I'm sure there are studies that show depressed people prefer darker colors. For example I found this after a quick search for "colors and depression"[0] and there are many

This seems pretty intuitive to me. I don't need this paper to know that depressed people post darker pictures. But it is kind of interesting to see this 'formalized' Also, I think detecting depression premtively via social me

Ah yes, that is a lot harder to detect. I think in that case minimum required vacations are a great way to make sure your employees take some time off.

Of course not, but you should at least trust the people you hire!
