Hot take: If I was super rich I'd rather put my money in my own charities where I can control how the money is managed and where it goes. If I hand it over to the Federal government, a lot of it will probably go to programs I fundame

I'm not sure why you're downvoted either. I think your post is a better representation of some of the causes of low fertility than a lot of hand waving twitter posts.

The problem is that the candidate has been assured that they will be asked 'leet' code questions where solving the problem isn't enough, they will also be asked about O notation and how the code can be optimized and whether t

You can take money and pay off your mortgage or you can take that same money, throw it in a low cost index fund, and keep the mortgage. Most people are going to end up better off with the later. Cash has the illusion of being safer but st

We don't _need_ anything for family game night but Roblox won out of all the choices. Take a chance sometime and play 'epic mini games'. It's like a mini-arcade where we can all play together.

Were the ads on Howdy Doody bad? Ad supported content has been around for over a century, I think people get a little overworked sometimes about what a great evil it is.

We use Roblox for family game night. It might not be as bad as you think. I think its a cool platform for burgeoning game developers. Anyone can publish a game, we put together a little obby just for the fun of it. We're back to the

I agree and I think a lot of 'solutions' are going to fail until the people involved acknowledge that kindness and empathy aren't enough. By most accounts there are a lot of homeless people who are living pretty comfortably

This may sound dismissive but at some level the homeless people need to figure out where they should go. A overarching truth off all attempts to give people aid is that you can't make people change when they don't want to. Ther

It's interesting to me that Lewis is so engaged with it. I read Paradise Lost as a sort of fanfic. Milton does not claim to be a prophet or that it is some literal representation of heaven and hell. Within the book Satan is a fictio
