And what is going to happen? Pass a bill to provide additional support to schools? Hell, Anything? No. Nothing is ever done. Nothing ever happens except decay. The United States is spinning down its governmental duties. The pendulum will sw

I can see from your comment history you are catholic. I don't see any point playing the "yes" "no" game with someone. I doubt you are going to convince me of your ethics, I doubt I will convince you of mine.

Moral and legal are two different classifications. I think it should be LEGAL to have an abortion no matter your reasoning. The reason for this is we need to preserve the bodily autonomy of people who can become pregnant. Weather or not it

No. I think this is a cruel and ignorant thing to say. Wanting to have a child who is not special needs is not an evil thing. Choosing to not bring a a child with special needs to term is not evil. Having a special needs child can dominate

A while ago I was doing research on guitar products. I did what I usually do, open the first 6-7 websites in google, look at the quality of the website, and made a call which one looked the most reputable. Only, here is the thing: All of th

I always take the opposite view of the development of Dwarf Fortress. I think it is a shame how much the game has stagnated, and it is frustrating when the creator brags about not bothering to use version control. I love Tarn and I think th

This feels like it belongs on /r/iamverysmart. I hate to break it to you: you are not nearly as smart as you think you are. You can't talk to a single person at the party who has an interesting world-view, experience, or educ

Most years I read 50+ books a year. 2021 and 2020? Maybe 10 total. Part of it is I just don't know what to read lately! I look at lists of books and cannot decide! I wish there was a place I could go and find recommendations by authors

I have a buddy who is a lab tech at a university. He is under-paid and under appreciated. He has a masters in physics. Really smart guy! I keep telling him: The math background he has would be a huge asset in CS. He should change careers! H

I'm not obsessed about "working for my passion" or anything like that. I have a good life outside of work, supported by my high paying programmer job. I did a lot of job-hopping the past few years looking for the right place

And the people who work at the farms are exploited pretty terribly as well. Same with the meat packers, the fruit pickers. Same with the people working in all of the factories and shipping plants and driving the trucks. The invisible labor

I love smoking weed. I smoke pretty much every day. Just a little bit, a puff on the vape pen to get my groove going after work. I find it USELESS for problem solving or productivity, but hey: I don't need to be productive 24 hours a d

> As an entrepreneur you get to hand pick who you work with, what you work on and how you get it done - something basically impossible working for someone else. If you think about it, in no other time in history has it been normal to wor

At this point I think UBI is the best solution we have. I would prefer other things, but UBI is simple enough that I think it could work. EVERYWHERE online, people are complaining about the epidemic of houselessness. it sucks for everyone.

This was my understanding as well. People under 55 have extremely high labor participation, but a LOT of people retired. Do you have a citation for this information? I was looking the other day and was unable to find the right search terms.

therapy is the thing that will help you. Also medication can help. Taking anxiety medication felt like turning off a switch that controlled an alarm siren in my brain. Some people are opposed to medication, and to them I say: grow up. Talk

This is something I have said before: Some people just stop working after a few months. And I don't think they mean to, I just think they learn helplessness and don't do any work anymore. Motivation can be difficult to maintain. I

> If it was a smaller company they would be called out Don't be so sure. It is HARD to get fired in this job, sometimes. You have to be actively toxic, or your boss has to have a buddy they want to hire in your position.

This reminds me of one of the founders of blizzard posting on twitter a while ago "If you don't code in your free time, you are not a programmer." This dude, who graduated from the USC during a huge economic boom, landed a dr

You aren't ANYTHING. You are not your job or your skills. Trust your gut. You've been busy with other things, and you have fallen behind as a developer. That doesn't mean you are worthless or unable to improve again. It just
