It's entirely possible to have a conversation about all those topics but gets increasingly difficult when your friends fall in the cliche 80/20 category. 80% great people 20% not so much. I think parent poster has more of a proble

Yahoo Finance has a strong older generation core audience and the product itself is actually quite good for the data it provides freely.

Seems like an uptick in Erlang articles recently. It's interesting how some users seem scared of the language, despite it being so pervasive. I know Discord as an example heavily relies on it.

No, you see. We must rush out and break things first, then ask questions later. That's true engineering. And then your computer wails in agony as another opened chrome tab drains 6GB of RAM.

I think OPs and parent posts are more content with the fact they will never be Japanese, and feel comfort in that they still get treated with more dignity and respect than in America. Your examples are of mixed race people who strive to be

The single genuine inefficiency of working from home is that it exposes a person's lack of discipline. They become more productive when all distractions are removed so they're forced to focus on one task at the detriment of everyt

I think that's a pretty sledgehammer-y view. Like, I make a website for pregnant women and someone comes and rants about American politics. What the fuck am I supposed to do if I can't delete their comments? Let my project dwindle

I 100% guarantee you that this has nothing to do with smart kids like you being unable to read big brain books but rather intentionally vague and loose language being used to curtail what the school administration and parents consider moral

I mean here's the problem: You don't actually even really see her. Mammy appears for like 5-10 seconds in a handful of episodes and all she does is hit Tom or tell him to catch that mouse. At best, as a kid, you could inference

Mammy was lost on pretty much every kid, even in America. Her relevance resurfaced when 'problematic' became part of the common nomenclature to describe such caricatures. If she was, as we say, problematic, there would've bee

I mean sure, you're absolutely right, but a "thanks" is not exactly grounds for a pursuit in anything more serious. Yeah it kinda sucks and feels weird but that's about all you can say.

Absolutely. Most people can't afford Lamborghini. Roughly ~3 billion people on this planet live at, or below poverty. To them owning a Toyota is more valuable because it allows them to survive in their livelihoods. Generally, the less

Though the video is fairly long, it's a genuinely interesting exploration on the murky history of video games and gambling. This is part two of a video series, I highly recommend watching both. Part 1: https://www.youtube.co

A lot of it, imo, is cultural more than mass production. Chickens are kind of a prime example of that. Factory raise them for the breasts and maybe thighs and essentially discard the rest from a consumer standpoint. I'd wager the ratio

No you're right, there is no other reason than public schooling being the default choice. Which is why its necessary. It's self fulfilling. It's the choice that everyone goes through. So unless you want your children to be un
