Don't feel bad, I think this happens to a lot of us. TLDR: learn to chill and enjoy your career and free time doing the things you like most, with the people you like the most. I d…

I'm surprised he didn't dedicate himself to volunteering, I assume he doesn't need the job because of money, and volunteering should provide a lot more connection to community and …

I would imagine it's because classic family values are incompatible with "hookup culture" and unfettered access to sex for money, and it seems that society is sitting on the fence …

They do, but not if you use a commercial platform. Host your own infrastructure (ftp/email/www/etc.) and use Btc, and you will have a lot more liberty but not "reach"... so you can…

> I know that I have always been a big kid all my life Same. You don't have to become a different person, just get yourself through the rut, don't do something you know you'll regr…

I was going to leave a harsh comment hoping that the "tough love" sort of approach might help to get you thinking straight but I've decided against it since we don't know each othe…

This is almost always the case, no matter the service we're talking about.

Anyone who's been to a "real" trailer park will probably never want to come near a mobile home, let alone romanticize about it. The "high end" units that are shown in architectural…

Engineers only build what they are _told_ to build, it's naive to think any employee (even the all-powerful engineer) has the freedom to make decisions about how the business will …

from the article: > Imagine waking up one day and no longer being able to check your Gmail, buy things on Amazon, or book an Uber. I think that would be great, provided it was a gl…

I bought an HP Victus 16", AMD CPU, 32GB RAM Ultimately the deciding factor was the price and the GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, it was on sale, and Linux drivers were available for all of …

I haven't used the new generation of MacBooks yet, but I might request one from my employer just to get a feel for it. The Apple experience is more polished for sure, but after Lin…

Yes, for me it was the poor value proposition that made me switch. I do prefer to not be locked-in to their ecosystem as well, but I will admit that my overall experience with Appl…

That's really what did it for me, I like Apple products and think they are great quality, but I don't think they are good enough to justify the price; and for me, the "status" that…

I bought an HP Victus, mostly because I came across a great deal and it has GeForce RTX 3070 graphics. I'm running Pop! OS linux and it worked out of the box, no special setup nece…

Please excuse the long-winded answer... I have also given up on Apple, but mostly because I can't see the value in it anymore, otherwise my experience with them has been satisfacto…

Looks like a nice building, my guess is it would be more comfortable to remain there than to lock down alone in your apartment; especially when considering the company could get ne…

Your examples seem pretty extreme, and I would say they are definitely not normal. I'd guess the leadership and engineering quality at this company is sub-par and they probably don…

There is a lot of truth in this comment; it's not pleasant, but it's truth nonetheless.

Don't feel bad, there is a lot of luck involved. I used to be able to (late 1990s/early 2000s) make a living on a mixture of niche websites, affiliate marketing, CPC arbitrage, and…

I don't wait in lines to spend my money, never, for any product. If the bagel shop was mine however, I would have no problem making people wait as long as they were willing to tole…

The bagel shop probably _wants_ to keep the queue of people as long as possible in front of their shop, it shows greater demand, psychological tricks and whatnot...

The internet itself has changed vastly over the last 25 years, so it is expected that the biggest internet companies have adapted as well. There is no doubt that Google et al. are …

This is good life advice also, the key is self-examination and having the open mindedness to see and act on errors.
