That may have been the case in the past, but recently there's a trend for non-religious parents to move their kids to homeschooling to better their education and remove them from the toxic socialization that is public school (in the US

Keep in mind that the reason people homeschool has changed a lot in the past decade. It used to be primarily religious reasons, but there's been a massive uptick of non-religious parents moving to homeschooling to better their child&#x

The cumulative effect of wasting (more or less) 8 hours a day 5 times a week is also dramatic. You can work to improve the social life of a homeschooled child, improving the education of a publicly schooled child is a much bigger challenge

The need to be a "jackass", "party"... in college and high school seems uniquely American (probably a couple other 1st world countries as well). Not only have we extended adolescence nearly indefinitely, we've inven

$120K (for a BS) is still a lot of money to owe straight out of university. I think it would be hard to justify getting that in debt for most degrees.

> Even so, you can still point to the discrimination being traditional gender roles, where women are the ones who typically stay at home. Or even to the economy itself; we don't value raising kids as much as we value rising through

If it's voluntary, it's not discrimination. Men have kids, but they don't quit their jobs to become stay at home dads at nearly the rate women do.

I don't think the post you're replying to is demeaning life choices. The grandparent is advocating for cheating and calling it ethical. The comment you're replying to is correctly stating that it's unethical to have an o

I don't think most poly people advocate for cheating (which is what you're doing here). You also make it sound like people are being "tricked" by society into not liking it when they find their partner is cheating on the

I think it makes total sense to question if a CEO can be part-time and be effective (I agree with the author of this post, they can't). That being said, this post is all over the place. > Greatness is in the agency of others, and m

I'm having a hard time understanding your reply. I don't think anyone is talking about Github being abusive to employees.

Go for it! I didn't say it was an inappropriate channel (that was a GP post). I do think it's misguided and against the spirit of open source software though.

If the CEO of GitHub gets fired it should be because he mismanaged communicating that GitHub shouldn't be the moral arbiter its customers. I think GitHub leadership's morals align with Microsoft's here. I also share this mora

Pro nuclear is a good thing though no? It seems like the solution to climate change and energy production. I know I'm very skeptical of people who claim to be pro-environment then rally against nuclear power.

It's interesting to compare and contrast climate change and nuclear war. When I grew up it was common knowledge that the world could end at any point in time via nuclear holocaust. It was more or less the most direct existential threat

I don't think you should do it yourself. The community will do it and the original source material will be there to reference.

I'm not sure it is 100X better. The tabloids have always published clear fictions. I think the danger is that people take ABC and the New York Times way more seriously than houston-star-ledger-journal.com. They're both problems

The MSM in the US is almost entirely corrupt. It's proven time and time again that it will push agendas, hide facts, kill stories, make things up... If you doubt what I say I suggest you spend some time looking into MSM coverage of Eps

Maybe so, but the Google statement does say that the employees in question did all of this in a systematic way that was outside the scope of their job responsibilities. I'd actually like to know a lot more about step 1, I suspect it ho

It doesn't matter if it's family appointments or work appointments. Keeping tabs on someone like that is a violation of personal privacy.

Setting up alerts around a co-worker's calendar that you're not actually meeting with is definitely stalking. Would you want someone doing that to you?

I think it's extremely difficult to read Google's statement and come to this conclusion. Again, do you have any evidence to suggest that what your saying is true? Do you know that the people who did the information gathering didn&
