I was just having a go at your vocabulary use - which I don't object to in any way - just reminded me of his. I actually agree with your analysis of his viewpoint on the matter. Th…

Jordan Peterson, is that you? :D

I agree with you. Nuance is something you don't see acknowledged and used sufficiently. Everything is made to be black or white when it's mostly grey all of the time. At the same t…

I'm not aware of it being a theory, but I strongly recommend this read for anyone who entertains this "boredom" root cause idea, which seems bonkers. Also, regardless of that, it's…

Spoken like Gordon Gekko. That's sadly true though.

Why is there even a need to fall back onto something? Migrating to another platform he considered less fronting and superficial was his choice, but I don't see the need nor appeal …

You need more upvotes

I'm not sure I agree with this analysis. I don't have a lack of self confidence and I consider the vast majority of Facebook posts to be fronting, even if the person actually posti…

Well said. As someone else said above, tying career success to off-call work is bonkers (both for the employers and the employees), yet sadly common.

Yet so common.

They don't have to persuade anymore. People mostly self convinced long ago that this was acceptable and expected.

This was an awesome read. I watched Pumping Iron some years back, but this makes me want to watch it once more!

I do agree with what you say. On the flip side of that, I also think Netflix has been greatly beneficial in offering the opportunity to both produce and distribute movies that woul…

>For example, its revenge porn policy and recently created software tool—which asks people to preemptively upload nude photos of themselves so that they can be used to block anyone…

Isn't the problem you're mentioning pervasive across and regardless of genders though? When a woman is networking with a man - akin to a man networking with a woman - the intent of…

Only if you let it - with some exceptions of course.

This is definitely a plague - when it comes to time usage - in current society. The perception of busyness as opposed to actual productivity. We have all encountered some examples …

Good point. To answer your question blatantly: by law. Not saying "you can't ever tip". But more to frame the employer/employee contract and prevent the employee relying on tips, a…

I like how you think. I especially think you're in the right with the opportunity for Californians to walk off the tip culture. This would set a great precedent to reproduce this o…

There needs to be a ban and removal of the tipping requirement altogether. I know, easier said than done. I'm just saying, many European countries do not have tips embedded in thei…

Agreed, this seems to be stemming from a fairly common compensation mechanism. I would be very interested in the results of the questions you bring up. I'd venture the result would…

Maybe movie theatres will become extinct, and Disney will have to funnel their unoriginal, sterile, monotonous, CGI-based movies exclusively through their competitive streaming pla…

That may very well be true, but this point becomes moot IMO if you compare Netflix's range to typical studios' range. We can complain about the fact that it's not diverse and broad…
