I've done many hallucinogens and have seen great things but "unspeakable horrors" too. It was a legitimately terrifying experience but I came out of it feeling mentally strong and …

Surgery is just a bandaid on a systemic problem. We still don't even know why we are obese! Certain groups say carbs are the devil (what about Japan, China who eat a lot of rice an…

Ok but if you have a mansion and no friends or family what's the point? You want the experience of spending time with people you like.

Even just 5 years ago you could get great roles without a degree. That era is over

Yeah, he's going to have a lot of regrets later on socially. But these type of kids would fit in a traditional school anyway so maybe its for the best.

Just one data point at one company, I passed the final stage with good feedback but after a long delay was told the offer was given to an internal candidate instead as headcount is…

every meme started as a 4chan meme

I get why you ask but it really doesn't matter, when you burn out you have no choice but to quit. The money determines how long you can relax before getting your next job.

I burned out last year, luckily I had the funds to quit without anything lined up and been semi-retired ever since. I'd like to work again but modern software jobs ask for too much…

I'm so disappointed at the state of HN. Instead of good faith discussion we have a bunch of keto anti-carb people pushing their narrative. Did you forget that a large number of peo…

Cue the wave of replies. Um, akshually, its not sentient yet. It's just predicting the next word. Doesnt matter that it can automate most jobs since its not sentient. We just need …

Why to we "really need to find a way to replicate that magic in the remote environment"? It simply doesn't exist. Remote work, while great for junior engineers who enjoy slacking o…

>I watched someone get hired, literally do nothing, and it took 7 months for the company to let them go If they were "literally" doing nothing, like not even joining meetings or lo…

Because everyone and their mom has been recommending Toyotas for 20 years now, the price of used Toyotas have gone through the roof. They're still good reliable cars, just not chea…

Why do advertisers shy away from porn? It's not like iPhone owners don't watch it so what's the problem with Apple putting their ads next to a pair of boobs once in a while?

There were millions of hours of unverified footage, I assume that was the main reason the site became so big. You cant just remove all of it and expect to stay the leader, especial…

I assume there's little reason to visit that site after they removed 90% of their content

Wish it was that easy. I don't have the jailbreaking talent to get them to do anything
