Always tempted, but never enough.

> The Hague district court ordered Shell in 2021 to cut its emissions by 45% by 2030. The company dropped Royal Dutch from its name and moved its headquarters to London the followi…

Ok see what they’re doing - they’re taking a position that sounds (and mostly is) horrible. But they putting a poison pill for their opponents to consume: HIV patients have to work…

Oh wow so that lets them honestly say they have the same value as other shares?

This is strange - I work in insurance, and you really aren’t allowed to do that after the policy is signed. Or at least it’s very tightly controlled and limited to straight up frau…

Me too! I’ve seen such good come from these sorts of programs! I didn’t want to mentioned it my initial post, but these sorts of programs seem a happy combination of keeping costs …

Both trickle down, right?

Longfellow, and that’s a hill I’d die on. Or Shakespeare; I’d die on that hill too.

I’ve been through this situation with family members. I understand the frustration and agony. I also understand the hesitancy to pay for two months at a “retreat-like inpatient psy…

The I do that it starts acting like a jerk.

I asked Fable to verify and it absolutely freaked out! I have no idea what any of this stuff even means, but my AI thinks I’m a legend level mathematician!

Wait I read the memo - it said “duty of care.” That’s powerful rhetoric but really narrow and well defined legalese. I checked, and Texas police only have a duty of care in narrow …

The child is mentally ill and being treated clinically. Medication, therapy, etc. I’d rather not go too into the clinical details, because I’m not an expert, I’m a parent. Roughly …

Ok so it’s basically a political startup. It sounds like once the party gets actual influence, its real funding will be determined by the Swedish people. Doesn’t this make the situ…

No personal device - easy and done. The result is extreme social isolation, but sometimes that’s a cost worth paying. Teachers do not generally monitor computer use during class ti…

I’m glad the responses to my comment are personal horror stories, because my comment is a personal horror story. It makes sense. I’m dealing with a mentally ill adolescent addicted…

The local public school gives a Chromebook they must use for class. Not optional. More broadly your advice is very out of touch with modern life. Don’t let them go to the library? …

I get that I really do. For a while our compromise was that our child could go to the library - that way they had access to free information. But after some chats with the libraria…

The friend part is less important than you think. Devices are very personal these days. Most kids are unwilling to hand over their phones and tablets to a trusted friend. It’s like…

I say this again and again in various places - something wise needs to be done about children and the internet. Previous interventions have failed miserably. I think the solution i…

"Meeting this project deadline is more important than your child dying." What was the context? Did someone’s child die?
