>The problem is gender roles. Men are taught by society to think that, as men, they should go into certain careers. These careers, like software development, tend to be higher paid than the careers women are encouraged to go into. Kinda

No, that's remarkably abnormal. That said, there's more to what was presumably male socialising, than what's on the face. There's a distinct difference in ribbing each other and poking fun versus being verbally hostile.

I'm not sure that's a good example at all. Frankly, acting as nonplussed and bothered is the best approach. Ahole: Your code broke while demoing it. You're a shit dev and you should feel shit. Example You: Damn right, absolu

On the other side of it, why would these "smart people" want to bother helping their homeland versus helping them and theirs? Maybe it's worse for those countries, but in a world of globalisation, it's not irrational to

No people is the reason people tend to stay in cities. Some folks like being around others, and having more immediate things to do. This in turn attracts others. If anything, some prefer the stress of city life for the very real benefits of

I find issue with the very first posit that you mention. White isn't an ethnicity, yet somehow Black or Hispanic, or whatever is? You presume then that attempting to be a white masculine man leads to brain damage, but what about black

Optimising for sexual selection is an adaptive trait as far as fitness goes. Why is beauty then non-adaptive?

Good thing we don't have enough people from the 1930s, 1890s, or 1770s around to really weigh in on this. Different times, different stresses. Vacations are a necessity, whether it's going out to the world or just retreating insid

Families making $200,000-300,000 lives paycheck to paycheck? Sorry, but just what in the everliving fuck are they doing with that money? Burning it for warmth?

Basically, why would a user, with emotional and time investment in Facebook, relocate? Some have literally hundreds of photos saved on Facebook for sharing.

What an incredibly arrogant introverted opinion. Being introverted isn't a super power, and I've met quite a few introverted workers who produced sub-par work because they didn't like to actually talk to the clients or their

Dolphins not systematically destroying the planet might be more of a lack of ability to instead of desire. Hard to say, really, they're woefully limited in their ability to affect their environment.

Playing the lottery is more paying for the fantasy of winning than actually expecting to. It makes for some fun office chats, and worth a couple of extra bucks.

If you can achieve flow that easily, then you likely don't need the Pomodoro technique. It's for those who have a hard time focusing to begin with.

It's also those who are willing to put up with the bullshit and play the political game that tend to rise to the top in a business, tech or otherwise. True, optimising a career for a healthier work-life balance is a valid strategy and

There are quite a few who do it for just the money. And there's nothing wrong with that, either.

Rarely are you trying to convince the other person, in a public forum you're more arguing for the sake of those listening than trying to convince the person you're talking to.

It's mildly dishonest, but it does help you as the employer get closer to the ideal fit for the position. Especially one that is likely posted to a public forum. The fact that candidates that pre-select themselves out of being chosen i

If they are so timid as to not even rise to the challenge of applying for a job with some uncertainty, how can you expect them to deal with uncertainty in the field?

In many pursuits, from romantic to professional, let those in charge of choosing make the decision, don't decide for them. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold.

Shouldn't is a funny idea, as is properly functioning. HR should never be considered "on your side." It's hardly considered cynical to presume a subsection of a company to care more for the company's than an aggriev

Nobody does that because being smart is of no guarantee that this person can be of any use to a business.

Never, in the history of any of my games, has a chaotic evil character been anything but a detriment to the enjoyment of everyone in the party. I'm not saying it's not possible, but there's a particular kind of person who wan

>Lousy work culture that produces the best output in the world. I mean, look at the Great Wall of China. It's a wonder what you can get done when you start to treat your people as tools and nothing more.

Everyone has features they are attracted to. You can't negotiate attraction, and so there's no reason to feel any sort of guilt if you just aren't into someone. For any particular reason, race or otherwise. In regard to your

That's not entirely fair as an example, as most ants will not breed and only a select few do. If you had a queen ant risking herself or the drones to save the colony, that's a different story.

At that point, does it particularly matter if it's altruistic or not if the person is helping others for their own selfish gain, or for the benefit of others? For example, a restaurant owner might serve food for free for homeless peopl
