American here...always thought the NL/Dutch accent was weirdly the most American-like accent? Which I assume is universally fairly easy to understand because of all the media content? I've been around Dutch natives before where

We seem to be conflating different vehicles/demos in these comments. SUVs and pickups. Large SUVs for sure are appealing to women. The negative stereotypes of male compensation etc though are associated with large pickup trucks not S

At the risk of sounding incredibly ignorant here (which I am) and also apologize in advance for the joking tone for what is a very serious topic... Couldn't it also be that they can absorb more CO2 when there is more CO2 and that the g

Answered a similar question below. It's equally crazy to me that people wouldn't immediately understand the elderly having quality of life issues. A few that came to mind: -chronic pain -immobility (walkers/wheelchairs etc)

Chronic pain, immobility, severe mental disabilities (senility) etc. Is it really that hard to imagine a scenario where life isn't fun for someone at an advanced age?

It’s public money….Audits are going to exist. Annual “custom widgets” would likely be noticed.

What “privilege” is required to learn to play guitar? Was Jimmy Hendrix privileged? Robert Johnson?

Encountered a paywall so apologies if missing some context, but when you say free time do you mean they live far away and need to drive distances to parks? I’m American and I’m outside all the time. Walking the dog, or walking with my fam

Interesting...spent 20s in city also but now live in suburbs and don't feel isolated at all. We know all our neighbors, our kids play together etc. I didn't know any of these people before we lived there obviously. Would argue i

If you live near an Alamo you're cinematically blessed :) For the rest of us in (those in the US anyways) if you don't have a local Alamo equivalent look into Fathom Events: https://www.fathomevents.com/ They show

Not sure about Canada but in the U.S. it's 30%. Just curious as it's seems contrary to the prevailing narrative out there...why would you assume it's a small fraction? https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/defaul

True, but most developed nations have easy access to IVF and/or other conception medical services. Another question might be...what % of couples can get pregnant without artificial means? And how is that changing over time? For persp

You may not want to hear this (I certainly didn't when I felt similarly)...but perspective does change with age/personal life...with all due respect do you have kids? A partner? Any major commitments outside work? That's a

There's also his request for access to a S.C.I.F. (lnk below) in which to discuss more fully what he's alleging. Complaining he didn't give up everything he knows on live TV/streaming seems a bit unfair as the guy was ac

Until they get married/have kids and do the same thing their parents and their parent's parents did...move to the suburbs. One difference with "younger" kids now is they're getting married later...but once you have

That's an interesting take. Richard Wright was a trained classical pianist (if memory serves) and Gilmour always makes the shortlist of greatest rock guitarists. Waters was an average bass player (but outstanding lyricist) and Mason
