Let's face it: American governmental bodies are dysfunctional at almost every level. Most people live in California, Texas, Florida, and New York. All are poorly managed. And then there's the federal government sitting on top. The key to th

What parts of Brooklyn? Isn't it hard to get to work in midtown if you live in Brooklyn? The "nice" parts of Brooklyn always seem just as expensive as Manhattan when I check.

I think you should apply for permanent residency first. Once you get it start applying, or even better, go to your target city and rent short term housing and try to find something fast. Being local always helps, and you definitely want to

Books? I haven't perceived Amazon as a bookstore for a very long time. When I'm in a country that doesn't have Amazon, I'm not missing the bookstore, I'm missing the accessibility and convenience of a huge range of products at good prices s

Why do people make such a big deal about being unemployed before Christmas? Can't buy presents? Oh well, consider yourself lucky: you just got an easy way out of the empty consumerist scam that is Christmas in the West. I grew up without C

The battery life on the Note2 is phenomenal. Helps that it has a 3100mah battery.

Do you not understand that the S2 is a very old device? I was an iphone user up until the latest generation of Android devices. Now I've got a Note 2 and could never go back to iOS.

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I'm at a place where I can return to university. I don't have the time to slog through arbitrary course requirements, I'm still pretty burnt out from schooling given I graduated fairly recently. I've cons

How is paypal easier than Stripe? I just signed up for Stripe and was shocked at how easy it was. I thought surely there had to be more steps, more ID verification, etc. I've only done 3 transactions but it was very smooth. I will never go

Does it even matter? A charity now has 500 million dollars. That's the only relevant point.

The problem is by the time you've saved up $200k, most people are committed to a certain lifestyle based on their annual income. They're generally in their 30s or older, married, couple of cars, kids in school, mortgage, used to spending $X

Perhaps Americans can take some cues from more collectivist, family oriented cultures now. In my culture, sleeping on the street when your sister has her own place and a couch would be unheard of. I don't care how imposing it would be or ho

Because people want to demonstrate how compassionate they are. Everyone else is letting everyone know that they are praying for someone, then they should too, or else they are "bad."

Forbes is a joke and so are popular media publications when they attempt to discuss the "under 30" crowd. Generalize an entire demographic into only a couple of big trends. No thanks.

You're not understanding me correctly. I'm not saying it will be a government mandate or coercion of any kind. I'm saying cultural attitudes will change on their own as "genetic awareness" becomes more mainstream. I'm making predictions abo
