The difference is that today's slaves have freedom shoved in their face.

Supposedly it's because bears break the windows at which point he's back to square one. Still i can't imagine there isn't a better alternative.

You are still missing the point. But that's OK.

I'm talking root cause, you are talking symptom. Different levels.

The modern city is built to service the needs of the rich and/or powerful. It is run on the backs of people who are not that different from slaves. Many people are hand to mouth, but wait! They can choose where to live and which flavor

They do a mark to market sure but the ops point is that all of it is a debt bubble and if the debt is called back it collapses. So there is an implicit agreement between all the "developed" countries to keep the sham going as long

I would love to learn about you. What was your home life like as a child? Did you experience a loving household? What is your relationship with your parents like? When did you realize you were attracted to men instead of women? What was you

I'm sure that the specifics and edge cases will get parties quite riled up. Still, I believe the general guideline of "don't expose young children to the themes of sex or racism" is reasonable.
41.
by isthisthingon99 4y ago
Yes I agree, for young children. That's what I thought this was about.

by isthisthingon99 4y ago
It seems like they have the freedom to choose books so long as the child isn't exposed to sex and racism.

Many religions have similar ideas. It's almost as if many religious texts are systems for life.

I use fastmail and use sieve filtering to reject all emails I don't want. They don't even show up in my email account, there is no record of them.

It's almost like the same government that would extrajudicially freeze your bank accounts and get reelected feels invincible.

I've been stalked by women it's not a good feeling. They even enlist the help of friends to do it to the point where I kept a baseball bat by the door.

I was struck by the sentence where a clearly talented coder (based on the website) said something like, "I couldn't afford $450". Perusing the website further exposed the tragedy. Some brilliant people can't live like th

Both joy and misery are to be expected, but in both cases you must be careful of how you act in reaction to these feelings.
51.
by isthisthingon99 4y ago
Nah, it's more like if your idea can't be distilled down to a few sentences, it's probably not well thought out. A lot of people here write a lot of garbage.

by isthisthingon99 4y ago
Long comments are usually not that great.
53.
by isthisthingon99 4y ago
Explain why? Most misery comes from expectations.

In my world, controlling your feeling means being able to turn it off or change it by sheer will. But yes most feelings can and should be managed through positive actions which you can control.
55.
by isthisthingon99 4y ago
It's difficult but "worry only about that which you can control" is a reasonable rule for sensitive people to follow. I can only control my actions. Nothing else. I can't even control my feelings.

Agreed. They are not letting go of major contributors. Note that this is not the same as "top talent". Leetcode is not that important.

Here is the thing... Person A and B create system X that is responsible for some % increase in revenue. Person A and B should be compensated well, so they don't go over there and create system Y. Especially given the FTC might be clamp

Mostly, I try to be a better person. For a living, I trade futures and do contract software dev work.

These type of investors have been chomping at the bit to do this for about a decade. I sort of knew it was coming which is why I transitioned to become a trader of capital rather than a trader of my time. That being said, the salaries will
