Don't underestimate the power of ego. For most people it's their most powerful driving force. I cannot speak to her motivations. There is more than one plausible reason someone would expose themselves IF she in fact did and wasn&#

I don't agree with this. At least except not in the most pedantic philosophical sense. My role models were people who acted the same when they didn't know anyone was looking, or there was no reward. They didn't put on fake pe

On casting Sir Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard: Reporter: "Surely by the 24th century, they would have found a cure for male pattern baldness." Rodenberry: "No, by the 24th century, no one will care." I doubt even a f

Speaking as an American who has lived in other countries, the idea of "American Exceptionalism" is rampant in the USA and you will not undo it with any appeal or facts. It's built into the identity of so many people here. See

While I am strongly opposed to child labor and military conscription, a six year old can do a LOT of damage. I'd not want to face a squad of them on my best day.

You have the same right to accommodation when/if you are ever disabled as anyone else. If you aren't disabled and don't need the accommodation to function normally or without medical complications then you aren't being d

Are your landscape photos of endless flatness, strip malls, and pavement? Or are they beautiful mountains, forests, seasides? I am not saying liking rural places is "wrong". I am saying you give up a LOT to live in the "cheap

It's not discriminatory to meet someone's disability related needs. You don't have those same needs. It gets old seeing people without those needs say "it's not fair". Nobody would choose a disability to get so

Good on your brother for building something with a kind purpose at it's core. We need to use tech more for things like that, and less for things that take data/attention/money just to make someone rich.

I guess for me the attention driving requires, the stress of other drivers trying to kill me, and vehicle costs, parking etc all outweigh the "on demand" nature of it for me. I found having public transport available actually incr

This is one of the things I hate most about living in the US. Europe was so much more connected and accessible. Even rural places mostly had public transport. Where I live now there is nothing. I have no car of my own and have to borrow one

You mixed up your Frenchmen. It was Sartre from his play "No Exit".

I just don't understand how people so heartless and selfish like this exist and are functional. It speaks poorly to society that one can be this way and not shunned. This person thinks their ego and perceived "respect" matter

They often ask you explicitly if you know or have researched methods to defeat the polygraph. It's a lose/lose situation because most people have heard of such things or DID research out of curiosity facing taking a test, but admi

I have known multiple people who went through investigations including polygraphs for clearances. They were all told to be 100% honest and that it wasn't violations (within reason) that would hurt them...its not displaying "integr

I didn't downvote you, but that's not a solution. I am not religious and not interested in that culture. It's a very middle American idea that church replaces family and social support and its some haven to reach out to...it

Not exactly the same as you, I think the monastery life sounds pretty miserable, but I think the underlying sentiment is for sure there. I never had feelings like this until doctors ruined my health, costing me everything else. I liked my c

There is small town rural life within an hour of any big coastal city. You don't have to move to the homogeneous middle of the country for that. Suggesting people move from a popular place to middle America for a good quality of life i

The parent clearly meant the sort of people who use it as some status symbol. Some posturing of worth.

Having to live somewhere where you hate the culture, politics, climate, geography is soul killing. The Midwest is cheap because it doesn't offer the benefits the expensive places do. Most people are here because they were born here. I

I hate that everything beautiful in this world is monetized. It's the root of all evil in my opinion. Greed and profits to feed ego and personal status. I think even in a Star Trek post scarcity fantasy the "Ferengi" will sti

I am 45 and am 99% sure I won't make it to 46. This isn't some unexplained "out of nowhere" ideation. It's a consequence of being beat down and taken from over and over, then having to make due with less and less, r

You are ignoring the fact that not everyone's circumstances and opportunities are the same. You keep saying "easy" as if its an objective fact. Saying "I did this thing with these limits so anyone can" is dishonest

If I recall the assumed cause was wind and the open structure of the tire. I don't know how much contact area and material was impacted the sound. Noise seems to come up anytime these tires are mentioned. The article posted doesn'

I just don't think nationalism is anything but damaging. I am a human being. My self worth isn't related to where I was randomly born. I have no allegiance or pride owed to a passport. Such tribalism is used to justify wars and gr

I've used Pimsleur at length in the past and found it the most suitable way for me to study language. The drawbacks are the limited programs, they develop at a glacial pace, if at all anymore, and each level is very expensive. But the

I recall trying some tires of this exact basic design for bicycles 25-30 years ago and while the idea sounded nice, they were loud, heavy, and clogged up. It seems the same downsides are still an issue.
