I highly doubt this is the strategy. There is somebody in charge of experience design in these organizations who is doing their very best to make the site easy to use. However, they are hampered by a confusing product selection (as mentione

Some people lean toward the hug as a greeting or farewell, especially women. As a woman who doesn't like hugs, it's very uncomfortable for me. I used to work at an agency, and sometimes we'd even end up hugging clients after

I took them for about 15 years (with a couple of little breaks), and they helped significantly the whole time. I went off them when I got pregnant (did CBT), and am still off 3 years later. I would love to go back on because the anxiety has

I would love this. I have to dress for two different climates on summer workdays - skirt/shorts and short sleeves for outside, jeans and sweater (plus a sweatshirt over it) for inside. It's absurd how overly air-conditioned office

Do You Realize? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VX1QQHX/ref=oh_aui_d_de... It was only 99 cents, but I wasted at least a couple of hours on it, which is what really annoys me.

Last night I finally abandoned a book that was absolute trash, but had 83% 5-star reviews on Amazon. Looking at the reviews now, I see that most of them are written by people who only write 5-star reviews (it has an F-rating on Fakespot). F

It explains a lot around how the terms "racist" and "sexist" are now applied to a much larger (and more subtle) range of behaviors and speech.

Back-and-forth interactions are more important to language development than passive input. Both TV and phones do not provide the interaction that builds verbal skills.

This lab at Stanford is working on some similar things (there are also other research centers I can't recall right now): https://hearinglosscure.stanford.edu/ I'm watching them like a hawk hoping that some day my

Yes, I have friends who do this a lot and I just find it so unethical. The stores don't exist to lend you clothes, like they're your older sister's closet. There are costs associated with rent, labor, etc.

Don't know about 2004, but Redmond housing is now more expensive than Seattle!

No, I easily supported a family of 3 on that in 2016 in the Seattle area. For a single guy, he'd be living well.

I am curious whether there was an equal effect for boys and girls. Most of the men I know are a lot less active on social media than women, but I'm not sure if this is also true for teenagers.

Even Value Village sends the stuff they can't sell (which is probably quite a bit) to these recyclers, who it seems now can't really use the materials.

I find it surprising they do all this math since the model they seem to use is "Send everybody tent-like shirts that would fit a horse." After repeated requests for more fitted styles, I kept getting tents (although eventually sma

Ha! Yes, of course. I get this all the time. Shocked reactions from people when I tell them our baby is in daycare. Sometimes it's more subtle and framed as "oh, it's too bad you can't afford to stay home with him,"

https://www.reddit.com/r/NeutralPolitics/ is actually pretty good. I don't spend much time on Reddit anymore, but it was one of my favorite subs when I did.

I'm also surprised at the lack of activity. I found this to be a very well-written, well-researched look at the topic (and it's one I'm always a little skeptical about as a woman in tech who has never encountered any harassme

I'd be curious to know why so many search functions have trouble with St. Louis. I was recently trying to book a flight there, and often had to use the airport code to have it show up!

I don't understand what you gain by using the term "philanthropic investing" over "charity" if there are no monetary returns. Edit: I'm just trying to understand why you think it's more precise to label wh

Exactly. But why use the term "philanthropic investment" and use that term to cast aspersion on what Bill Gates is doing?

Why? What is the return that he will make on his efforts to eradicate polio and malaria? You could perhaps argue that his work in education will lead to a more capable tech workforce in the future, but even then, the returns won't go t

Why is "giving away" in quotes? Do you think he's actually keeping it and committing massive fraud?

There are tons of 3rd party games for the 3DS. If you can't find games you want to play on it, then you're not looking.

I also had this problem and finally asked a therapist about it last year, because I was pregnant and having to do a million blood draws. He surprised me when he said the last thing you want to do is try to relax (which is of course what the

Definitely a place I would like to work. Only thing it's missing is a place for nursing moms to pump (and an in-house daycare if I'm dreaming).

I imagine this is one of the downsides of having publicly-funded healthcare. While it sucks (I have a child with a disability so we would probably be denied residency), I can't say I blame them for not wanting to take on the financial
