As an aside, at what point do we stop an interesting discussion due to a limit of studies or data. If something hasn't been measured, or hasn't been measured since 2016, can we really just give in. If the question is about media b

You are really on the offensive here. The concerns you've raised here remind me of a time when I let news and social media pull me into that disgusting culture war on oppression, equality, collectivism, and individuality. I still have

The criticism is something like Twitter enables the worst in humans, it's a platform that can unjustly destroy one's character and career. From a product perspective, its working. Yet it is still a net negative, at least that&#x27

You are also able to come out of it with a different perspective you'd never otherwise gain due to up and down voting being missing. A merit of 4chan is that you get exposed to content you don't like.

I think you are experiencing the same gene pool concerns a racist would experience. In the end the only thing one can really do it have your own kids.

Humans have always had to stay home/work in order to take care of kids. In my opinion every person is born with instinct to be useful and fullfil some purpose beyond hedonism.

Do you think the person you replied to would really think their world view is based off the two paths you've listed? Also deferring to a video game for philosophical discussion....

As an individual, its difficult to bear responsibility for racism (whether it be calling out that homeless guy saying the n word, fighting for legislation, having empathy for every story you read on the internet). Its detrimental to a perso

Look, I am speaking from personal and anecdotal experience, however its so blindly obvious for myself and coworkers. The amount of dissonance between my beliefs and my actions at work feels like a micro scale version of what life would be l

>so as not to make women literally uncomfortable around you, how outrageous that you should have to do this. One could make a similar argument for not calling out racism to avoid making people uncomfortable.

Honestly don't see the problem with that line. I can't imagine how many times a woman has referred to her husband as another one of the kids to take care of. Its not shitty, its insanely normal (and its a joke) and youre just bein

Really? Do you think that women simultaneously being the victim and being empowered, the company bending over backwards to increase female numbers and create special awards/events specifically for women won't create some frustrat

its a tradeoff from doing that or making 250k+ at the age of 27 You can also work on instagram, oculous, or just take the time to become a better engineer.

The painful truth is that reproductive worth is something that the woman is facing right now. Its fleeting and nearly gone. Its also a type of worth that stands above most.There are very few jobs or hobbies the average person would be willi

This is hilarious anti-religion rhetoric, complete unwillingness to have evolution and religion in the same sentence. Twisting from how religion historically promotes community into the content of the religion itself. The content is irrelev

There are different reproductive strategies, but for the majority of men, raising a child to adulthood has been the way to go.

its entirely possible that certain beliefs common on 4chan strike true. This isn't so much about making her struggle a meme, but acknowledging that youth is fleeting and its particularly hard for women. Coming to terms with this realit

I think if you did a survey on HN users you would see that most of them think that racism is in fact a problem - that it is not good. Also, I think its important to consider your comments holistically when seeing how they are received by th

I understand, but to be clear, AA is not about undoing all injustice. Its about treating everybody fairly but accounting for people who are dug in at 0. Making it from the projects is really different than making it from a suburb. If asians

Do you think affirmative action is something like pay back or reparations for all the stuff people who were white did? AA is supposed to be about raising groups who have been systemically disadvantaged to raise them to a fair playing field.
