I’d agree if we all lived in a vacuum. Workers can’t hold out. They (we) need food and housing. Individuals can’t hold out hoping wages go up. From a group standpoint, unions have been weakened to such a degree in the US (where I live) that

Someone has to collect the garbage, clean public restrooms, produce our food, etc. We can't all be CEOs. Society depends on these "lowly" jobs. If the three jobs above ceased to exist we'd all be in trouble. They're

Cool to see this getting some spotlight. It’s important to remember that just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it’s around you. IME you’ll rarely just stumble upon someone poly. There’s usually some community involved which helps ke

> you were taxed at ninety percent to help out with the war effort because there was a long history of the wealthiest being expected to help out in times of societal emergency. Never heard it phrased this way before but I like it. Those

As an American, in my experience Americans just don’t care. We’re so “ruggedly individualistic” that there’s very little sense of a common good. In Europe I’ve noticed things are oftentimes cleaner. Even the parts of Canada I’ve been in hav

Interesting study for sure but it feels very preliminary. As someone who deals with trauma from childhood, asking “how far back can it go” is a very interesting question. Interestingly. The crowd that is *most* in favor of male genital muti

> Truly hate to say it but people will need to get used to buying homes much later in life. This just makes renting seem like a better option. If I won’t pay off my home until I’m dead what’s the point?

Appreciate the insight! I don’t have much personal experience of kids personally. Just my (mis)behavior as a child.

As much as I feel like a child, I think the hallmark of being an “adult” is moderation. Give a kid unlimited access to a box of cookies - they’ll never eat dinner. Last night I snacked on a cookie before dinner. Sometimes I’ll stay out “pas

Feels like we’re ever closer to the Futurama heads-in-jar. There are tons of ethical questions that need answered, but human potential has no limits. This is a power our ancestor could barely dream of. Attributed to an all-knowing power. An

Overall I agree 8GB is a joke in a “pro” laptop that costs as much as it does. But the author is a little off base imo. 1. How macOS uses RAM changed a few years back. Memory Pressure is just important of a metric as usage because data is i

I usually start to feel normal late into the night. After 11pm the depression and disassociation fades away. My mood brightens. I feel like I have infinite energy and easily stay up until 5am. It’s a strange rollercoaster. It really isn’t s

Agreed. A bit younger but I feel this way too. I group up incredibly religious/politically conserative (think Jesus Camp on Netflix). Between my immediate family and changes in how the general population has begun to view excessive s
