Never. Friendship comes from spending regular unstructured time with other people. It’s very hard to make real friends on purpose.

> What do you expect to see or hope to test for? I think the idea is that financially secure people are more willing to speak their mind. Getting salary upfront means everyone has small scale “fuck you” money. The problem here is that mo

> Gamification will be rampant and will absorb people in to it. When I see how much mundane grinding people are willing to do for video game rewards, it makes me wonder if status or cosmetics in a virtual world will ever be used in place

The post is just trying to help people cope with knowing that they're behind. It's not a good approach to life.

A foot rub isn’t a sex act? All conditional sex is rape. If the other person doesn’t enthusiastically and unconditionally consent, then it’s rape. This is obvious, and if you’re having a hard time getting it then you’re probably a sex offen

I don’t know how to fix it, but there are countries where the problems don’t exist and we would be better off as part of them. The average Canadian home owner now makes significantly more money on the house they live in than they do from th

I’d love to believe this, but dev and IT people are not paid exceptionally well in most of the world. That says to me that the high salaries are a consequence of social structures and the current economy, not that the skills are super valua

Another screw up! The best thing that could ever happen in my life would be the Canadian government collapsing and the country getting annexed by the USA. Such an evil country. It’s so embarrassing to live here.

It’s easier to replace the word “white” with “Jewish” since the arguments about disproportionate wealth and representation will still hold. Everyone knows that’s wrong, so I don’t know why they think white is any better.

It’s slavery as a service. Great for saving costs because you only pay for the time that you actually use, and you can outsource the maintenance of the service to the provider. If real slavery was still legal it wouldn’t even be used becaus

> Perhaps it stops at like $500k/yr? It stops once somebody’s net worth is already so high that their annual income is irrelevant. Those are the real wealthy people.

$150k is not even enough to buy a small home near your workplace in a lot of cities. Janitors had better living conditions 50 years ago than $150k earners do today
