    >Lots of creeps here in the comments too. Some might call a 22 year old pretending to be helpful to younger 17 year olds for their ulterior motives, "grooming". The age of consent …

    I think often we way over-weight environmental factors in this area. As individuals we have crazy amounts of agency to change things for ourselves. FWIW I barely dated in school, p…

    I mean, yeah? If it turned into harassment then no, but the post itself says that's not happening. How is this any different from Bob talking your ear off about some hobby that he …

    The thing is, the half-life on this is ridiculously short. My approach now is to start flossing ~2 weeks before my biannual dental appointment. I always receive high praise about m…

    What a weird way to frame things. Grocery delivery is just a job specialization reality. There are many things I wouldn't do for others what they currently cost me, but that doesn'…

    Since it looks like the export to Anki is still in progress, I can recommend using https://github.com/kerrickstaley/genanki -- it's been very stable over the 2 years I've been usin…

    it doesn't happen all the time. for Google, this is the first time they've ever done a large set of layoffs in their 25 year history.

    Nearly all major tech companies have announced layoffs in the last few months. Which companies would you say are "doing well" right now?
