Why did you read this. So that you could debate a hypothetical ultra-conservative in your head ? Or worse because you have people in your life who enjoy these stories and you don't want to get blindsided when they bring it up ? If the

Just to add to the story. My sister claimed for 10+ years she had the DMV book and just needed to study it before getting her permit. She said this repeatedly to my father and brother and no one questioned her. For 10+ years. Then a year ag

My 45 year old sister is that way now and to a lesser extent my older brother was too. I lost _decades_ of sleep over their situation. Ultimately I didn't know anything when I left home at 18 and I figured it out. Other people can too.

I recall attending Bay Area cryptocurrency meetups before the 2017 price surge. After mid 2017 the average IQ at the meetups was inversely proportional to the price chart and it has been that way ever since. I can't fault someone for m

The real PSA here is that sex can be insanely powerful. Had we not separated for a month, I would have married her since there would have been no preceding window of clarity. After that 6hr drive I ended the relationship and did not accept

Agreed. No one's arguing you didn't get a shit deal. At least I hope no one is arguing that. But that doesn't mean the previous generation got a better deal. When my Dad bought our first home the interest rate was over 10%. A

As someone in their 20's you are also likely lamenting the lack of affordable housing. One way to address it is to build more housing which which disrupts wildlife. Without affordable housing you might delay having children and gettin

It definitely wasn't just words to my new college friends as the stories are bad but not so extreme that one can't imagine having such an experience. But as a way to form closer friendships it failed. It was the first time I ever

I'd like to share a perspective that I can't reconcile. I'll start with a quick list of personal childhood(6-16 year old?) trauma: sexual abuse at 12 by a sadistic man 3 times my size that I feared, getting hit with a basebal

I have said this before and was heavily downvoted. If you don't agree with the counterargument of the parent, the simplest way to speak out against cryptocurrency is to stop using the word "invest" and substitute it with &quo

The culture is different partly because of the lower population density. But I'll share a story. The first week I moved in I tried to make small talk with a passing neighbor. It backfired. She quickly turned the conversation to how she

For the record, my NV house is $230/sqft and my target CA home is priced ~$1300/sqft. That's 5.6X and arguably worth it.

I am glad your move worked. But for others I'd advise to not underestimate the importance of your life's continuity of narrative. Moving to NV broke that since it was simply because of lower taxes and that's not meaningful en

The likelihood of collateral damage makes this a bad idea. It's better just to sanction all gov't officials (e.g., refuse to let them travel outside of Belarus, cancel their Netflix, etc.), until he is released.

But then the hustle would stop working. My take on the hustle is you post some garbage art as an NFT and have a rich buddy buy it for $100,000(?). Then your other garbage arts instantaneously become worth thousands because the media will p

Often the words "I, you, my, your" are as bad as swear words when correcting someone. One sure way to anger someone and have the double down is to hurt their ego by using one of those words (e.g., your code has a bug, vs the code

The concern is that Amazon may just drop smaller sellers since they would not be collectable if Amazon had to sue them in turn for damages. It perhaps may also make lawsuits more common since the bar of frivolity gets lowered if a lawyer kn

I got sick 4 times in 2019 and am normally sickly for about 90 days a year. Sick 0 times since Feb 2020 and almost no "feeling shitty" days. The major change was hand washing, face masks, no bars, no gym, no movie theaters, and no

Too bad companies do have policies about this as it implies discouragement of taking sick days. Perhaps the CDC has some guidelines that help such as "stay home if you have had a fever in the last 48hours".

We are on a serious tangent but I'll make a go at it. At the time a friend of mine felt that it should be a crime for anyone to use the hateful words "illegal alien" but the fine should be small "like $100". His com
