A paintbrush can produce a terrible painting or a masterpiece. The skill of the person holding it determines which.

Thank you!

Do you have a recommendation to start reading about stoicism, but potentially not the early philosophers? A more modern text?

IDK, maybe I'm missing something, but I can't do something I feel like should be super basic. I went into the Arcade category, zoomed to my city, Arcade was in the wrong location. …

I'm not sure where "fears" comes from. My assertation was that we (collectively) become less social as we age. We value social interactions less. I can attest that is true for me. …

We become less social as we age...

Spot on. Leaders in my company love to tout the line "assume good faith". If you say anything that indicates someone else is not operating in good faith, you are deemed the bad act…

Somewhere along the way, we lost the original vibe of the Internet. There was a time when it was fundamentally a community. People hosted things for the sheer joy of doing it and f…

I disagree with that. I can easily tell when my non-native English speaking coworkers use AI to help with their communications. Nine times out of ten, their communication has been …

As someone else mentioned, the community is gone. But, I think there's also the feeling of victory from when you actually connected. You may have needed to autodial for hours to ge…

I created a basic site to do some similar things as well: https://homemaintlist.com/ Need to revisit it and update it based on a lot of feedback I've received.

I have one of the best looking lawns in my neighborhood. I cut it whenever is most convenient for me. That might be any time between 9AM and 7PM. I cut it no matter the outside tem…

Can we get this applied to Turo? Find a car for 100/day. Try and book for 5 days. Ends up being $1000 once Turo adds its fees.

Sorry for the late reply. The Manager Tools podcast definitely talks about both sides of feedback. Everything they teach is predicated on building strong relationships, through wee…

The is exactly the advice that one of my favorite podcasts, Manager Tools, would prescribe. Don't give feedback about emotions or internal feelings, give feedback about behaviors. …

After reading your comment, one might come to the conclusion that Europeans see Americans through the lens of reporting and social media, just as Americans see Europeans through th…

Great idea and execution. Agree with all the points you've made about Product Hunt.

As someone trying to piece together family history, after most of my family has died, I really appreciate this. Any and all efforts to make records available helps with clues. Buil…

We all know what that will devolve into...

Yes I have. An altercation between two people in a parking lot is different than a school shooting. Have you looked at the other items listed where there are victims? Multiple time…

USA Today's reporting is wrong. There are not 971 cases of school shootings. There are about that many "school incidents". Some of those incidents, like the one listed below, are w…

I am similarly irritated by loud vehicles and wonder why they are allowed to persist. Would this be better enforced if it didn't rely 100% on officer testimony? I wonder if there i…

This is my story, just replacing "mom" with "dad". Thanks for telling it and sorry for your loss.

Same. I used to run my own email servers and do all the per domain things. It was just way too exhausting. Switched to Gmail and haven't looked back. Don't even worry about email a…
