For many reasons I often hung out with people much older than me. I am the only one of my age range in my family so I guess I was always surrounded by adults. I am appalled by calm diners more than bars. Also I like questioning people'

On one hand I share your feeling about being on the prowl for new people, on the other hand when I go out alone, my favorite thing is to meet and get a taste of people’s life. And then everyone reminds me how much I can’t wait to come home

I upvoted and while I’m a woman I don’t feel the same at all. I just thought it was an interesting point of view that certainly explains a few behaviors (although not my grumpy dad’s!)

I already did. But PT is not seen as viable, people enjoy living in suburbs and being reliant on private cars for anything, culturally less sensible to ecological matters overall compared to europeans (even though in Europe it scales, and I

I would not say diverse though. This community is hugely biased towards an american, transhumanist point of view. There's an "european" minority who does not seems as egocentric (and libertarian maybe ?) as the majority, whic

I guess that's sarcasm, and that's exactly my point !

This is a phonecall . Where is reproduction involved ? I am a female myself and I think this is the kind of deep paternalizing tone that is plain wrong. Being amused and not threatened by something has nothing to do with gender but with pe

I do but I don't think this has anything to do with gender.

>Since I am male, I was not threatened but amused, but I can see how a woman would feel vulnerable in the same situation. Why ?

I recommend the rue de Maubeuge. It's just miserable, always a few crackheads hanging around and dealing or whatever. In one article [0], I read that the police deliberately don't act there. The videosurveillance is broken atm any

But you realise they can't be on their own, without society and its working businesses to feed themselves, its healthcare facilities to care for them, its giving inhabitants to sustain their addiction... I also really wish I would not

I have, but I don't see it coming up much except during an interview maybe.

I had CS classes but in my work I do 80% front (because I enjoy it actually) and 20% back. Not using anything fancy in my work though. So how does one avoid being classified like you do ? (well you edited, your original post had Just call

But since 20 years that this has all been debunked, we luckily have no more new smokers and everyone is working on quitting ! No amount of education can force behaviours into people. Logic is not a shared resource.

Yes there's a big risk, because as we all know, humans are very predictable machines : once you teach them something, they consistently act accordingly. We can take as proof tobacco, obesity, sex ed, various addictions and various tren

It works that way yes, especially for the flu that changes so fast that its vaccination is no immune guarantee but rather helps to have milder symptoms. I guess how it's promoted depends on where you live. Also don't forget that n

It seems I am the only one bothered by putting useless junk into the universe. I don't even know how it's possible that they were allowed to litter space just for the sake of it. Like there's not enough human garbage rotating

I am a vegetarian, just wanted to share my impressions about HN's reaction to plant based diet suggestions :)

by hycaria 9y ago
Considering how damaging it is on soils fauna, I wouldn't be so sure.

Yeahhhh not on HN. People here are very hyped by lab meat and reversing climate change thanks to science and technology, so any change of diet is not necessary. Especially since so many people here are convinced by keto diets, whic relies h
