I'm so glad US private tech corporations tell me what to think.

I lost 30kg in the past and the only thing that worked was lots and lots of exercise. The Internet meme is that exercise is useless for weight loss and you should diet: well, I lik…

Should tha baker have the right to refuse baking a gay wedding cake or some group has the power to decide what rights another group has? As a gay man the LGBT groups keep declining…

Thank you for this anecdote. I think I have a pinched nerve in the neck, very painful and my anxiety and panic attacks started together with the pain but were unrelated, linked mor…

I think the success stories are mostly self-selection: parents who care enough about education to enroll their children in an alternative system will have children who care more. A…

Comments generally inform me about the content value and most of the time are even more interesting that the article, especially with the modern habit of writing 5 paragraphs of fl…

> You should not die. But you don’t have an inaliable[sic] right to thrive in your country. The most disgustingly american thing ever said.

I've done this in the past, for example when choosing college: do I study Chemistry that I intuitively understand or do I study Physics that will be a challenge? I chose Physics an…

I have yet to start a career and I'm already at that point. The things I'm passionate about are just not monetizable or you need to be the 0.00000001% (without counting luck and co…

It happens to me when I have to study something new. I wasted so much time trying to find the perfect note-taking method, the perfect memorization method, debating digital vs paper…

I find much more toxic all this comments that dismiss the importance of the environment - intended as everything not genetic, socioeconomic status, for example - and basically sugg…

I've lost 40 kg (88 lbs) just by exercising: never counted calories, lots of pizzas and whatever. When people say "you can't exercise out of a bad diet" my first question is "What …

I agree. If I could rewind time I would do Medicine, at least my work would have some positive value instead of being neutral at best.

Maybe in the US is different but where I am the self reported preparation times for medical exams are lower than that of a Physics/Math/Engineering exam: if I recall correctly Phys…

I agree. Whenever someone has tried this approach with me the result has always been me shutting down and avoiding to confide in that person. I am already tough in myself, that's w…

I must one of the few people that loved the grammatical-translation method and hated the "communicative" method. I had to learn English in a "communicative-centric" fashion and it …

There's also the fascination with the forbidden. I've met many people that started smoking as teenagers because it made them "transgressive".

Give the possibility of having comments in chronological order.

>Seems you're overconfident that therapy and drugs aren't the solution to mental health problems And seems like mental health professionals are overconfident that their methods wor…

it depends where in Europe. Where I live at least 70% of high-schooler were driven to school.

Sometimes I tutor high-schoolers in math and physics. I love it and if it payed better I would do it full time.

And use some temporary email if possible so you can't use the "I firgot my password request".

>Do you have any evidence rich people care about the descendents of poor people? No, but people care about their descendants, rich or poor.
