It's the rate that women are getting pregnant. Circumstances and societal conditions can certainly curtail and slow the willingness of otherwise capable women to have families.

Probably. Otherwise, it wouldn't keep happening.

The EU's a bit bigger than the UK by a fair margin.

Chicken and egg problem. Cars are necessary because businesses/places to work are far apart, but they got to be the distance they were because cars are around. The US is a huge pla…

Big difference also is, sadly, one this is immediately visible and tangible versus a vague "security" diagram and document. Noone wants to get hurt in a fire, but noone really gets…

English being a mess may be one of its charm points. Many languages in a trenchcoat, full of flavor and exceptions to its own rules and a headache to learn.

Sounds like what caused the mindshare death of Tumblr. Pivoting away from the core reason you make money even if it's not the intended use case seems like a great way to cause the …

They're only useful for cosmetic and extra quests and the like. You can just straight up ignore them and not lose out on anything.

Hardly anyone doing the same job gets the same salary, with notable exceptions. I certainly didn't make the same amount of money as my coworker at my old job.

>Almost nothing is an emergency situation requiring your elevated tone of voice or physically rushing towards them. Those are of course situations where immediate action IS necessa…

"Brah, you started a new workout routine nearly every other month and haven't stuck with it. What makes this time different?"

I would say they're so much ahead because they're so far behind. True, in the US consumer rights are largely a joke, but on the same token doing business in the EU seems to be a hu…

>Right now, advertising is not part of Journal’s revenue plans, but that could change. That's unfortunate, but at least it's honest. Looks neat otherwise. I can get Google-like sea…

Amazon has incredibly poor quality control depending on what you're buying. On the other hand, if you buy something retail, you can A. see it yourself first and B. have a physical …

That's a big crux of the issue. Why should a teenager spend X amount of hours on a volatile schedule to get a pittance of money that quite literally gets eaten up nearly as quickly…

I'm not sure people who would want pain emojis care enough to buy votes at the club. Besides, at least as far as Discord/Slack goes, most people I've found just upload their own li…

>not everyone will get equal (or any) additional income under a UBI scheme Why call it universal base income if you can price yourself out of it like you can with normal welfare? I…

While this is true, it is not magically funded, consider the average person. Taxes historically are taken out every pay check. This person is now receiving $X dollars a month "for …

I'm not forgetting supply and demand. The supply increases, therefore demand would as well. If there are more places to live than people who need them, then I'm curious where this …

Rent is a big one. For example, you charge your tenants $1000 a month now. UBI kicks in, everyone gets an extra $500. Why wouldn't a landlord up their rent charge to $1500, or even…

Funny how American dominated websites care more of American politics over European ones. To be glib about it, it also goes to show the demographics at work here. Even now, GDPR res…

The power of centralization! If I can't have it, you can't either! I wouldn't say it's fragile, though. Just like normal IT work, people only pay attention when it isn't working.

We are most certainly predators. There's no animal on this planet a human couldn't beat with some combination of tool or tools.

Probably a combination of all three. The US and China have the benefit of a comparatively gargantuan native population that all speak the same language and enjoy similar tasting ko…

Genuinely curious, if you want an open and polyamorous relationship with a group of people, why wouldn't a structure similar to an LLC or similar business group not be roughly suff…
