I’m not sure if you’re kidding or not but cars are way way more dangerous than horses. Over a million people die every year in automobile related accidents.

I think of Reddit the platform that tried to make hosting a forum as easy as possible. Within that scope it’s awesome but it’s also so easy that it is just another cesspool.

You’re missing my point entirely. I know having wealth is better than not having wealth. Please read my original reply. Choosing to optimize for wealth is fine; but foisting that choice on everyone over everything else is silly.

You only need options if you don't know what you want!

That’s exactly what I’m saying. We should assume that most of the people that live in Portugal are not stupid or victims. They’re optimizing for something they prefer. The GP is the one that reduced the choice of living in Portugal to wealt

Only really matters if your only concern is wealth. Some of us want to actually enjoy our lives; not just our retirements.

I've started to wonder if "bubbles" are a good thing. Others beliefs shouldn't be foisted on me at any given moment of my day, and if I don't care to hear them there isn't anything wrong with that. Moreover, co

I don’t really care what the GP was doing. Tourists come to the puget sound and fuel an economy of boats that swarm an ostensibly endangered group of local whales. Why would I care what a person who thinks that is funny thinks? There are se

I think its much more likely that people who are on Facebook with young kids right now are simply the people in my(30s) cohort who never deleted their account they signed up for back in the late 2000s.

You would think so but there were rolling blackouts during the bay area/socal fire season last year and nobody seemed to change course. I wonder if it’s because a lot of companies in the Bay Area already had remote workers?

The post was noting the irony of the article- not my personal ethics. But sure if it makes you that self conscious I’ll go there: there really isn’t one aside from getting lucky from the shore or some sort of sustainable fishing vessel.

Kind of ironic that the author used a whale watching tour to observe the Orcas. These tours are disruptive to resident Orca populations(non-transient).

I guess I don’t understand what is silly about it? You or some group disagree with veggie burgers so they are silly? People buying veggie burgers not going to take away other vegetarian foods in the process.

You’re not wrong but it’s beside the point. You don’t not make something because some people don’t want it.

Its pretty intuitive, actually: people like burgers- even vegetarians or those trying to reduce their meat consumption.

It sounded like the gp was referring to median wages in the US.

by tjr225 6y ago
Wtf? Who cares what the median wage is? People can’t afford health care or housing. Have you been outside in any major city recently? There is a homeless crisis that is truly shocking going on around all of us.

When I think about how flawed technology is and how it hurts our society I try to remember that I liberates others who are limited by the physical world.

In a free market you can choose who your corporate “overlords” are. So; which are you for? Should the government prevent monopolies from having free speech? Because telling google or whoever what or what not they allow in their private plat

It depends on how you define "friend." I don't require that my friends have any interest in me outside of the contexts they wish to be friends with me in, though, and so I do consider work friends actual friends. Same thing w
