I think some elements of this are true, and yes I think culture plays a big part in it. I am sorta on the opposite side of this I want to have kids, get married, I'm willing to support my husband if I make more then him (whenever I get

Companies are considered a person and legally have rights such as freedom of speech, can own property and enter contracts. They are allowed to spend as much as they want for votes due to their freedom of speech. Sure they can't direct

ER visits really vary. In Austin, Texas you may be able to get in a few minutes to a few hours . Just really depends, when my mom when to the ER last year for extremely high blood pressure she had to wait half a day before she could she se

It's not the same... But what about emergency clinics or walk-in clinics? My brother had a chainsaw accident and they were able to treat him in a few minutes. I kinda hope we get more clinics like this over ER options, I used to go to

I think any extremist and isolating culture will bring with it extremist behavior and thinking. People want to believe they have the right answer. Often this leads them to becoming very self-righteous and prideful and also very shame focuse

Most of what I worked with code wise growing up was either very niche or setup in such a way that debuggers weren't an option so I never really used them much either. I don't understand their appeal when print statements can give

Why is loneliness more common? Look at the work week. Everyone is working long hours, doesn't get time off, or is too broke to spend it doing social stuff in America or other countries. Lots of fear increases this too, with people work

The most likely scenario is all three, government Id, in person and really bad ai. I highly doubt we will truly ever lose one of these options between humans, government paperwork and automation that likely sucks.

I'm honestly a little surprised it didn't start before then. With the 2008 "Great Recession" I remember quite a few people and teenagers struggling back in my high school. I knew a lot of teens/families who lost the

The problem with people psychology wise is arguments tend to reinforce their own beliefs of being right. Arguing can get to the emotional core of people and logic and emotion don't often play well together being on opposite sides of th

Looking at other countries like Japan with like barely any zoning laws, this looks great, I hope it leads to more mixed cities again and more walkable/liveable areas like before WW2. It is funny that America land of the free had so man

Google in general has become far more loose on spam, from spam emails now showing on my Google calendar, to being added to projects where I cannot remove myself. They open up quite a lot of security holes and seem not be taking it seriously

I would say society doesn't paint a happy picture of the future. It's hard to find positive stories of things working out well where we win against climate change, and we stop shootings in school etc. I also feel it's very ha

Why go to college when bootcamps can be faster and less risky? They can have better terms then a lot of college debt with set time limits and payment amounts for debt. Colleges are so behind the times... I'd recommend them more for soc

The US once had a rich history of unions for 100's of years since the 17th century, and plenty of wars over them where the US government literally attacked union workers in wars like Battle of Blair Mountain. The US seems to have almos

As someone who works remote, I bet a lot of companies will see the benefits of it moreso this year then any other, they will also see all of the drawbacks. I think it will become more common in some areas that are fine with drawbacks though

Yeah I agree with you. There is a lot of interesting stuff the more you study it. Like Physarum polycephalum, a slime that solves mazes despite not having a nervous system and is used to create better road networks. I really hope in the fut
