I don't mean to engage in whataboutism, but by saying you're above 40, you suggest you may have bought into your mortgage at the much more affordable times in the past. Did you purchase in the last few years?

Legal scholars aren't in agreement about everything... but knowing the state of the field deeply does protect them from making more obvious legal mistakes, or whatever he's been doing.

Prescribing to copy those who succeed is an answer without substance in the question of how to succeed.

Is this the defense of your choice to support the industry? I'm not sure I understand it, as the same logic was/is used to justify slave labour and systemic racism - "they want to work, the children enjoy helping their parent

I no longer speak with my neighbour, but she introduces herself quickly to everyone that moves into the building. When she speaks like this, I suspect it's part of a manic episode.

The user you're responding to has no understanding of psychoanalysis, Freudian or otherwise. There is a long standing tradition of judging the field from incredulity at Freud's simiplified conclusions, and you never hear the real

While I'd like to agree with your points about the potential downfalls of therapy, and the troublesome implications of these applied at scale to the perverse incentives of a pro-therapy society, I cannot. Your tone is far too adversari

It must be a depressing view, to think people's vices double as their ambitions.

Do you mean to imply that education outcomes are unrelated to technology or that advancing technology may make them worse? Do you think there's a defensible abstraction of your claim? We also did "just fine, if not better" in

I've often wondered if/how education of young men relates to violence against women. I've no experience with the conductors of this activity, at least AFAIK, and I find it hard to believe that it's an issue that could be

This kind of trolling is not fit for HN.

I learned these skills more thoroughly in a week of fast food training than in sixteen years of public and private schooling. If these are important context for education, you'd think we would still teach decorum.

Are you sure you're responsible for your doubt of societal drinking standards? There's been a shadow of teetotaling trying to creep into the historic human comfort habit, ever since the failure of prohibitionism. Abstention is jus

Texhnolyze, paranoia agent, mind game, shinsekai yori... I'd recommend many anime to someone who likes lain, but probably not angel's egg. I don't agree that it's bad, but it's far more arthouse and understated than

Brain work is the most privileged about working conditions, imagine how many kitchen workers would drop dead from hwat exhaustion if their managers weren't freezing them towels every summer.

Thr job market, and for that matter the internet quality, in most of those Nova Scotian locations is not going to support anything except the kindest full-remote position. Those houses are for sale at that rate because they were too bad to

Also big in Iraq, for many of the same rules. I'm reading "guests of the shiek" and getting better details on these cultural norms, but I'm surprised to see basically the same thing in an Anglo country!

Social media elbowed most conventional paths to social groups aside. I know it's not impossible, but joining a group without seeing its online presence is intimidating after a decade of using the online to mediate. That said, I'm

Many people who never could afford to call international family now speak and see each other daily. I also disagree that technology has made anyone more self-centered, but disagreeing with Socratic proclamations is as old as society itself.

Science is not a good tool to win an argument with. Are you trying to argue that abstract logic games like chess have no impact on how people otherwise live? This is a crazy stance, I hope you agree.

This idea is popular, but controversial. After looking into it a bit with the help of historians on reddit, I no longer believe this conclusion, but I recommend everyone curious looks for themselves.

To rephrase the other user's [correct] sentiment, a scientific determination of brain development has more to do with myelin on axons than maturity regarding emotions, finances, or anything else we actually judge people on.

You wrote this like Tucker Carlsen doing a takedown with Facts and Logic. If you had a good point, I wouldn't know, because how can I trust someone who can't even hold back derision until their done talking down to their interlocu

Which was this? The Banff one [may 4] doesn't seem related to this, and if anything seems to defend the practice by example - 31 hectares burned, 28 of which were planned, and only three horse stables were damaged despite weather chang

You might not know that Haidt is a well-known p-hacker and has a record of strongly advising ideology under the guise of social psychology. I haven't trusted any claims of his since his modern peace thesis, and that's not his most

I think you misunderstand their idea. A child with worse coping can push their parents harder for a phone, and a child with better coping skills can hold out without a phone longer. This is the theory they're suggesting, I believe.

Inoculation against the downsides of socmed is impossible without exposure. Given that we discuss this on socmed, it would be purely hypocritical to argue here that any access is giving in to addiction - unless you believe us no better than
