I think you’re underestimating how much trauma correlates with wealth in America. It’s not just the trauma of being poor, it’s trauma of growing up in a dangerous area, or of your parents getting divorced, or of getting sexually assaulted,

What makes them a pain to deal with? I work with ultra-privileged people who by all accounts are “well adjusted” and I find them harder to deal with than people I grew up with from home. Many of them have no history of and don’t understand

What Remains of Edith Finch is a pretty amazing ~3 hour experience. It’s not necessarily violent but it has dark themes so I would read a synopsis to see if your kids are ready for it. The Life is Strange series is pretty good as well.

But we can control societal factors that cause success to be inequitably distributed. Through worker organization, redistribution of wealth, etc. It’s just that individuals that have benefited from this false meritocracy have a vested inter

A David Cage-style drama with better writing and isn’t supernatural or sci-fi. He did Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain, and Detroit, all of which I love, but the dialogue is pretty atrocious and the stories go off the rails by the end. Edited fo

I wasn’t saying that there is a gay gene, just explaining there are cases where differences in human traits are deemed “better” by some governing body but aren’t actually better.

How about gay vs straight? Being gay used to be classified as a disorder. That has changed in time, many (most?) now understand it as something different but not better or worse than being straight. When it comes to differences between peop

I’ve been learning to bake and will make a batch of brownies or cookies at least once a week. It’s just my boyfriend and I that live together so it ends up being the equivalent of 2+ extra pieces of cake a week, probably. Now a dinner witho

Chiming in to say I had the exact same realization after starting vyvanse. It’s helped me with my relationship to food, because now I know what it feels like to not clean my plate during every meal.

One reason I’m not interested in hyper efficient GMOs is that I don’t trust the incentives of the people making them. They don’t want me to be healthy, they want to grow food as cheaply as possible and for me to buy and become addicted to t

What do you mean by that? My manager at my last job was in a union. There was, however, a separate union for managers and one for ICs.

My understanding is this bill is more focused on sexual orientation and gender than it is sex ed. Both of which are topics we’ve evolved on as a culture over the last 20 years. I don’t think kindergartners need sex ed, but I do think explai

Most of your comment is about other bad actors which I don’t disagree with in the slightest. The majority of tech companies cause harm, Facebook is one of them. It also happens to be a really big company, so I don’t think the disproportiona

From a leftist perspective, it’s beneficial to have something like a draft because it forces all classes to confront the reality of our wars. Instead of how it is now when it’s mostly the lower class that goes to war. The last draft we had

I recently had a long conversation with someone who works at FB, someone asked them “what’s the morale like there right now, do people feel bad for working there at all?” And his answer was “yeah morale’s pretty low right now because the st

I don’t understand why you keep mentioning hooking up, that seems irrelevant since it’s been clarified this is not an STD. The parent comment was saying people who own cats could be more attractive on average, and people who own cats are mo

If you really want to make yourself mad, take the Washington Post’s quiz on conspiracy theories [1]. All of the options are carefully worded to minimize the actual conspiracies (ex: they say the FBI “kept tabs on” MLK which doesn’t begin to

You could call it unwilling to work hard. Or it could be difficulty prioritizing work, or ADHD, or disorganization. Are those traits what we’re testing for, or are we testing for knowledge of the subject?

It’s still spying even if there’s a rational reason for it.

I’m paraphrasing Chomsky here, but basically the bodies that determine what is and isn’t a war crime are deferential to power. So if you’re the most powerful country on earth and you do something heinous, it’s unlikely to be considered a w

Most of the demands for an easy mode are about accessibility concerns. If you’re working with a motor impairment you may be blocked out of ever playing a souls game. A mode with slower enemies or more forgiving dodge timing would allow thos

Do the internship, find a different job next summer with FB on your resume. I also used an internship with a FAANG company to get my foot in the door and then went to work at a (better overall) company that absolutely would not have looked

It can’t buy love, but it can buy food security, shelter, medical care, and decent schooling. I’m not saying growing up rich is always easy, but the point is it’s _more likely_ to be easy than if you’re poor.

Agree with everything you said, but just want to add a couple additional hurdles to even being considered “smart”: - going to a bad public school because you live in a poor area has ripple effects that may put you in a worse position than s

Is it uncomfortable? Crime is pretty clearly a systemic issue. If we all were secure in food, housing, and healthcare do you think crime rates would be as high as they are? What demographics in the US do you think are least likely to be sec

A couple nights ago I was watching some blowhard host on CNN describe going to war with Russia as “defending democracy” which is something we do “because we’re the good guys.”

You’re right that we’ve created a world where pedestrians are forced to take a non-negligible risk just to walk to work. I disagree that that is ethical or just.
