This post shows a lot of the "tribalism" I'm referring to. I don't believe the rioters represent "the left" and I don't believe the capital stormers represent "the right". And most…

You might want to try to find some better sources of information than the ones you're relying on now. The good news is, nothing in your second paragraph is true, that's all QAnon-s…

> I also notice you just vaguely referred to various animals in instead of humans, which is curious Intentionally so, because humans are animals and that's an imaginary distinction…

Two other factors to consider: 1) people grow and change and 2) working a job is very different than doing "the same" activity as a hobby. I enjoy gardening and cooking as hobbies,…

What? Of course maternal instincts exist and are distinct. The differences in reproduction are the most fundamental basis of sex differentiation in animals. In some mammals, father…

These sorts of vague, slightly conspiratorial and cynical comments aren't helpful. "The system" isn't designed by some secret cabal of sinister tricksters who are intending it to f…

Was this supposed to be sarcasm? Because essentially any regular "office job" or "desk job" would work.

This isn't "context" this is literally the definition of an ad hominem attack. "Attacking a person's character or motivations rather than a position or argument" If universities ha…

I buy a bunch of it. I quit eating meat a few years ago for ethical reasons but I still like to have a burger or brat or have a meat-like product in a pasta sauce or whatnot, and B…

Seems like it must be personal preference. My experience is the exact opposite of yours, I love Beyond Meat but don't really like Impossible.

It looks like there's a disconnect here on what we're talking about for "freedom to roam". If you read through the Wikipedia article linked in the comment I was responding to, you'…

This is a good "tell me you only know life in the city, without telling me you've only lived in the city". To anyone living in a rural area or working in agriculture, conservation,…

"Freedom to roam" laws are an archaic notion that only sort of work in very specific locations like the Nordic countries. Even with a large staff of park rangers and a budget for t…

"What evidence do you have of" ... issues where someone publishing that evidence would be sent to prison for decades for said publication. Surely you can see the flaw in this?

Apple is absolutely not "asking you to think like biz dev folks" in fact they're counting on the fact that you won't. They're exploiting their near-monopoly to expand their ownersh…

Google gives like 7 months for parental leave. Healthcare costs are lower than what average employee spends on coffee. 5-ish weeks of vacation, in addition to holidays and sick day…

Most people are putting down 20%. Even if you have a non-recourse loan that's a huge loss. Plus the hit to credit record means you probably won't be able to take out a new mortgage…

> We also know both are right-leaning and I wonder how much of that factored in to the firing of the human rights, ethics, accessibility etc teams. From HN guidelines: Eschew flame…

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. ADA requirements are incredibly complex, at times very specific and at times very unclear and open to interpretation. The truth is that almost …

People do talk about all those things. There are plenty of groups dedicated to each of those things individually or which include all of those things in their mission statement. Un…

This is a weird take. I can certainly tell all sorts of differences between Apple and non-Apple products. A short list of the major things that I think set Apple-quality apart: Zer…

Maybe try... a good Android phone? This question is silly. The Pixel or any top-end Samsung is equivalent or better than the iPhone in hardware. The Android and iOS user interfaces…

I hope this was a joke, but if not, this is not good advice for most people. Having kids does not solve substance abuse issues, mental health issues, relationship issues or any sim…

My school had weed out classes in my program, but it had nothing to do with graduate admissions or competitive rankings. The point was that it's better to have a student struggle a…
