Actually, a citation is hardly needed here. 1. People want more money. 2. Remote jobs are becoming much more common as of late. 3. It is (much) easier to double up on remote jobs than non-remote jobs. 4. Doubling up on remote jobs results i

There's a lot of unpack from the story... For me one of the core teachings is that we all have something in common, being human. No matter what time period you lived in, no matter what family you were born into, no matter how your life

Ahh. I can relate, in that case. I thought you meant that you were seriously studying from topology textbooks.

How does one end up reading topology at age 7? Were your parents math professors or something? Or were you just a very mathematically curious 7 year old?

Leave it up to the player. If they want to build a shared factory, so be it. If they want to build on separate corners of the map, that's cool too. Just place the players in the same game world. With regards to trickiness of determinis

I'm confused as to why this is being framed so negatively. What's wrong with people being more friendly with you? Is it that they waste too much of your time?

I feel like that's not great WLB by today's standards. 8-5 is 9 hours a day (instead of 8), and on a Friday no less, when many folks at other companies easily clock out by 3 to begin their weekend early.

Sounds like you already realize the error of your reasoning. Don't be so set in your ways. As we get older, it's harder and harder to convince ourselves to try new things. You should actively fight that to keep life fresh and full

I agree completely and did not mean to imply otherwise (hence my phrasing of "it can help with" rather than "it can cure"). Yes, that research involved combination treatment of psilocybin alongside psychotherapy. That sa

I think the author is trying to make a point here, and this statement you quoted is not meant to be taken literally. It's more like "the fact that left-wingers often oppose genetic research, taken at face value, implies that they
