Are you talking about in Europe? Because at my company, in the US, I am not required to take any time off. I can bank any amount I want and spend it when I prefer. And it explicitl…

It’s pretty handy as a signal. The moment someone starts banging on about Jungian this and Freud that, I know immediately to discount anything they say, ever.

> Nobody should be working 40 hours a week at a job and not make enough to support themselves. So it’s better that they don’t get hired at all and live entirely off support of the …

Governments being able to borrow money (to run that deficit) relies on people believing that they will be paid back. The more the debt grows, the less likely people are to believe …

What blows my mind is how many “progressives” I know who really support this libertarian-style maximum “freedom.” I’ve been the stodgy conservative of my friend group saying “uh, m…

No thanks, don’t need it, don’t want it!

Handwriting notes engages your spatial memory, which is incredibly powerful (see: the ancient method of loci/memory palace techniques) There were times in college where I blanked o…

Why are you so sure that the poster (or anyone else commenting here) isn’t drinking enough water? I drink lots of water. Lots and lots, to the point that it’s already kind of annoy…

I don’t know…I think even if someone was really interested in something like organic chemistry or biochem, unless they had a very very abnormal memory they’d get wrecked on an exam…

Why shouldn’t we judge people for dumbass consumer behavior/ interests? Disney Adults are fucking weird and I’m not ashamed about saying it.

> poor souls you're choosing to ignore And why exactly should I give a fuck about people who are trying to bother and inconvenience me?

No, it’s because city politics in the US are dominated by naive bleeding-heart type leftists who are willing to overlook any and all forms of antisocial behavior if it’s committed …

Idk why you screeching AI touts are so confident about its ‘wild’ success in all areas given absolutely zero evidence to that effect. It’s tiresome.
