There's no true equivalence, because the effect under discussion is a matter of magnitude. The simplest illustration I can think of is that there is a large market for average-looking call girls, but only a small market for any-looking

I recommend Factorio and Shenzhen IO as alternative forms of self employment. And it’s true self employment, in that you’ll need to pay yourself too.

Among my atheist friends, a number of them have been quite involved with churches, for the social support, and because they thought it was good for their kids. I once dated an atheist who was appalled almost to the point of deal-breakage th

Her: We’ve been dating for six months and I’m all for taking it slow, but you haven’t even brought up the idea of moving in together? Like just to have the conversation? Like what am I to you? Me: pulls up Google Translate

Complaining that my car key weighs 10 pounds isn’t a prompt to remind me that people steal cars.

It seems like no matter what improves in this area, something else breaks it. At first using a password manager helped. So now everyone wants to email or text a code if they don’t recognize the device/browser. But there’s a checkbox to

No. I code switch to a character I created to role-play work. Otherwise known as being professional. No doubt he inherited some of my characteristics.

I’ve always rotated. I try to go as deep as I can on one thing, then I visit the other things round robin.

When you get a title from the real DMV, it's backed by a lot of mutually reinforcing real power. A group of kids can get together and play DMV, issuing titles to each other in crayon on notebook paper. In both cases there is only meani

Pornhub has nothing even close to the kind of monopoly YouTube does. XVideos, XNXX, and xHamster at the very least are similarly gigantic in terms of content. The only thing Pornhub may have is more mindshare, being the more recognizable

I'm under the impression that a lot of tech / 'rational' people are utilitarian consequentialists, and if you tell a good utilitarian story, a lot of them will sign up. Like, liberty and privacy sound nice, but how many

Satisfactory went ballistic in the latest update, adding 50 separate volume sliders for every sound effect. Not sure it was necessary, but I did use it for a couple of items I find especially irritating.

I’m in an endless cycle of watching without subtitles until I reach max frustration with understanding the dialogue, and then with subtitles until I reach max frustration with darting my eyes up and down. Upgrading my headphones did help a

My team got shut down on my first day at Microsoft. We got rolled into another decent project that needed similar skills, so I stayed.

Amazon Prime is a constant, and I’m usually subscribed to 2 other services at a time. Those 2 rotate, e.g. by the time I’ve exhausted what there is to binge on Hulu, chances are there’s something new and decent on Netflix. I don’t mind the

My reason for not having kids is simply the golden rule. Do unto potential others as I would have had my parents do unto me. Now, you might say that I can't know whether my potential kids would have been annoying optimists who could sa

I thought the consensus was that they're distinct. In my case, I never experience any social anxiety (aside from public speaking) but I consider myself extremely introverted. I strongly prefer to be by myself doing solo activities, and

The one I’m most impressed by is the Quest 2. The one I spend the most time gaming on and ultimately have the most fun with is still the PC, as it has been for the past 20 years. I absolutely cannot stand touchscreen gaming.

Maybe in some vague way - but in a technical sense, not allowing the user to implement or install their own protocol handler very much goes against the historical spirit of Windows. But then again, so does ads in the shell. But Windows has
