That's not exactly honest. There's a reason there's no small remote-only startups in those massive expanses of land; there's nothing there to begin with.

Must've thought 1984 was a manual instead of literature. The "stiff upper lip" culture of basically just sucking it up may have a part in it. This thing doesn't immediately affect me or mine, so why fight it?

It is a strange blessing and mercy that websites unattractive to advertisers, like 4chan, are seemingly spared the worst of it.

Strawman aside, the current political climate is certainly growing more hostile and polarized as the societal pendulum swings away. It's probably not a coincidence that most who commit suicide are male and the worst of it are in predom

>They can't store data from European journalists, it's not GDPR compliant [...] In complete seriousness, why would you think that the US government would give even the smallest of fucks about that? Why would any government care

It's also possible, in a roundabout way, that external testicles are more for display rather than practicality. Sexual selection has a fairly heavy weight on evolution, even if such a trait has some pretty big downsides (male peacocks

Not to defend racism, but you'll find that pretty much every race that's not 2D gets shit on when you're on 4chan. That's just part of being a moderator-lite website. The entire idea is you shouldn't bring your real

No more so than you are contributing to the incredibly toxic subreddits like Redpill or the like by posting on any other reddit.

There are things called containment boards on 4chan for a reason. Seems that they also contain any outside perspective on the site as well. /b/ and /pol/ are particularly egregious, but they're worth suffering to li

That's always been what I wondered as well. UBI solves everything, except for the part where an actor who knows explicitly that all of his tenants will be getting a flat amount per month, then why not raise prices to capture some of th

Genuinely curious; how is that even remotely possible to enforce?

In most cases, they have very little. I may hate Comcast, but if I have the misfortune of moving into a place and they're the only game in town, it's basically tough luck. Could rant and rave all day about how terrible everything

That results in what is basically the dating schema for the last century. Men put forth the effort, and women choose the winners. If a man does not try, he does not find anything. If a woman does not try, she just gets poor suitors.

It's a two way street. If China can do things their own way, and we do things our way, and these are incompatible, who should be the one to compromise? If we do, why couldn't they?

$28,000 is peanuts now? In the grand scheme of things, sure, it's not much, but consider the time and place where he was that his father could just give him that much money.

Supergiant Games in general have quite a nice, concise story. Bastion in particular still sticks out.

I do. However, I'm not sure how that means that a subset of the majority cannot also have their own exclusive spaces while also allowing a minority to have the same. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against a woman only support gr

On the same token, a specifically male only group tends to get crucified. It's more of a confusion of double standards, perceived or otherwise. Sure, most groups end up de-facto male only, but you never see groups actively advertised a

Very stark difference between choosing the trade and it being handed to you. If you choose to go into the trade, you still have a way out that a lifelong farmer doesn't. It also doesn't help that rural America is dying in general,

Rights are only worth what people are willing to fight for. However, as most people don't care, rights for most are just ideas.

The truth is you just can't outwork a bad diet. A milkshake is worth an hour's worth of treadmill work. Diets are not something that you just hop on for a short time and leave, it's a lifestyle change. Some diets are more for

That's rather the same issue you have on online dating sites. Can't tell you how many girls love adventures and netflix; what exactly are you supposed to work with here?

Basically, why commit? This person eats their food oddly, that person seems to have a sweaty forehead, etc. In the age of Tinder, why bother getting invested in anyone? The next is just a swipe away (unless you're male, then good luck)

After a certain point, you really have to wonder if, just maybe, it's you. Anecdotally, those who somehow can't find work in this field might be sending all the wrong signals. Are companies looking for less than what you want? Sur

You seem to misunderstand, this was an essay, not a news article. It's meant to be written in long form and inform, but not necessarily about anything as immediate as what you'd consider news.

It's rare to also see these articles point out the immense pay discrepancy that can occur. Companies seem to want loyalty but they don't want to give it. This leads to the merc approach of just selling to the highest bidder.

Men are typically raised from a young age that you do defines your worth. Women are typically raised with the idea that they have value in and of themselves. There are pros and cons to both sides of encouragement.
