There are more than three kinds, everyone's motivation is different, and claiming to know what someone else is thinking based on what you perceive, is not accurate. I can think of at least another kind: someone who likes to be prepared

I don't see any meaning to the colors, so I guess it's whatever color you feel represents your site?

Unfortunately too many people are turning an economic term into a political term. But I do agree that we should all be polite here.

It could stabilize at a price and not crash, but who knows. I sold most of my crypto because it's too risky/sketchy for me now.

That sounds like the Sunk Cost Fallacy. Just because something valuable was already wasted, doesn't make the result valuable.

I heard about Bitcoin when the whitepaper was released, however I never profited from that experience, so when I heard about Monero in someone's comment years ago, I bought some of that and have made some pretty good (tangible) money.

It feels like there a more downvotes these days based on political ideologies instead of low-quality comments.

How did Bernie Madoff's investment fund operate for years after people were claiming it was a ponzi? People want to believe just a little longer.

Mine was default allow, his was default block. I had to inform, he had to get permission. Perhaps same result, but one feels more autonomous than the other. From another one of my comments: > I always just told my parent that I was doi

That was not my experience with Scouting as a youth. My troop was around 30 kids. It was one 90 minute meeting a week, one weekend campout a month, an annual food drive, and an every-other-month selling consessions at the church bingo gam

> By more people working, we created more opportunities for more people to work? What I was getting at, is that it sounds like the goal is just to work for the sake of working. (I should have put an elipsis after "to".)

I don't know, my parents always asked me if I wanted to go to my Grandmother's house or other trips (I did). I always just told my parent that I was doing something just so they knew where I was - not necessarily asking for permis

I think it's "normal" only in the sense that most everyone behaves this way today, but I don't think it should be that way. By the time I was older in Scouts, my siblings were in college and my parent could drive me to w

An uneducated guess: If they're importing, it's probably because it's cheaper. I'm sure they have the land and technical capabilities to produce mass amounts of food.

I went to art class once a week because I liked it, but stopped at a young age when I didn't se any classes in the course catalog that I was interested in. The only summer camp I did was one week a summer with Scouts. I'm guessi

I wonder what the rate of dropping out during Cub Scouts is vs Scouts BSA, vs how many don't cross over from Cubs to Scouts. The crossover happens around age 11, so I would imagine most of the dropouts happen later.

I know what they're parents are like during meetings and campouts. I have to manage them as much as I manage the boys. Some of them try to helicopter during meetings. There was one Scout that I've only seen smile when his dad

I wonder if salaries were more competitive because there were less workers? If the cultural norm was to only have one parent work, then it seems like the supply of workers essentially doubles* if both parents work, leading to less competit
