This really needs a time frame. $25k in a big city means different things depending on era. The curves of wage growth, cost of living, and wealth disparity didn't start to diverge so wildly until the 2000s. This took a lot of people by

Spend every waking hour out with my camera exploring every corner of every small town around me and writing about it. Like this: https://viewfinderfox.com/first-post-vaccination-excursion-i... But all the time.

Being able to save, especially for years, is a special circumstance. At least in the US where wages have been flat for quite a while even as cost of living skyrocketed.

It's extra silly since there's always a robust aftermarket for any reasonably popular car. You can buy new Model T parts in 2021. A lot of modern cars are built on shared platforms, too, so the odds of someone still making parts g

The highest paid tech worker is still closer in class to the janitor than they are to the VCs paying their salary, even if they think themselves better than both.

HN at least has a mod who I assume is paid who'll hear you out if you think something was removed/flag killed without merit.

I've had priests tell me they love me and want me to be a fully accepted member of society. There's just this one problem... So no. I don't believe the kind words she uses to paper over the harmful misinformation she spreads

I'm not sure what this means. Universities are big, sprawling things. Even universities known for one thing have a wide range of majors.

These discussions used to be a lot worse. I think occasionally having people butt heads a little with good moderation has helped relax people a bit on the subject. This is the most productive thread I've seen on the issue on HN.

Polls have a way of shifting rapidly. People put down what they think they're supposed to put down. See how fast support for gay rights tilted as more people came out. Most people weren't really committed to homophobia, but they t

It's ironic that this transphobe fantasizing has led to non-conforming cis women being harassed in the bathroom. Whatever minimal problem there was with women being harassed or assaulted in the bathroom by men or AMAB people has been c

Sometimes people push bills like this to make their opponents look like fools, though maybe that's not as common in the EU. Movements are infiltrated all the time. I don't know the details of that bill (much less the name or backe

A huge part of advocating for the right to self-identify is about respecting identity whether you like/respect someone or not. She didn't get her contract renewed because she made it clear she was going to be an asshole to coworke

I think given their efforts to avoid calling people at their local night, it's safe to assume "day and night" refers to the caller's local night.

Listen to the latest three episodes of Acquired for a ~9 hour exploration of Warren Buffet/Berkshire Hathaway. It gives a lot of context for people trying to figure out what this news means. https://www.acquired.fm/epis

I think eugenics mostly went out of fashion when the Nazis took hold of the global fad and went way too far with it.
