This post shows a lot of the "tribalism" I'm referring to. I don't believe the rioters represent "the left" and I don't believe the capital stormers represent "the right". And most of all, I wish

You might want to try to find some better sources of information than the ones you're relying on now. The good news is, nothing in your second paragraph is true, that's all QAnon-style made up stuff, no different than stories abou

> I also notice you just vaguely referred to various animals in instead of humans, which is curious Intentionally so, because humans are animals and that's an imaginary distinction. Modern western society likes to pretend like we&#x

Two other factors to consider: 1) people grow and change and 2) working a job is very different than doing "the same" activity as a hobby. I enjoy gardening and cooking as hobbies, but I don't want to work a job as a landscap

What? Of course maternal instincts exist and are distinct. The differences in reproduction are the most fundamental basis of sex differentiation in animals. In some mammals, fathers have literally no contact with their offspring while mothe

These sorts of vague, slightly conspiratorial and cynical comments aren't helpful. "The system" isn't designed by some secret cabal of sinister tricksters who are intending it to fail specific people in specific ways. &q

Was this supposed to be sarcasm? Because essentially any regular "office job" or "desk job" would work.

This isn't "context" this is literally the definition of an ad hominem attack. "Attacking a person's character or motivations rather than a position or argument" If universities have a massive, bloated and over

I buy a bunch of it. I quit eating meat a few years ago for ethical reasons but I still like to have a burger or brat or have a meat-like product in a pasta sauce or whatnot, and Beyond meat fills that role well.

Seems like it must be personal preference. My experience is the exact opposite of yours, I love Beyond Meat but don't really like Impossible.

It looks like there's a disconnect here on what we're talking about for "freedom to roam". If you read through the Wikipedia article linked in the comment I was responding to, you'll see that it's about private

This is a good "tell me you only know life in the city, without telling me you've only lived in the city". To anyone living in a rural area or working in agriculture, conservation, timber/lumber, mining, ranching, huntin

"Freedom to roam" laws are an archaic notion that only sort of work in very specific locations like the Nordic countries. Even with a large staff of park rangers and a budget for trail maintenance, trash bins, toilet facilities an

"What evidence do you have of" ... issues where someone publishing that evidence would be sent to prison for decades for said publication. Surely you can see the flaw in this?

Apple is absolutely not "asking you to think like biz dev folks" in fact they're counting on the fact that you won't. They're exploiting their near-monopoly to expand their ownership and control of user actions and

Google gives like 7 months for parental leave. Healthcare costs are lower than what average employee spends on coffee. 5-ish weeks of vacation, in addition to holidays and sick days, is probably about average. European fast food workers, ga

Most people are putting down 20%. Even if you have a non-recourse loan that's a huge loss. Plus the hit to credit record means you probably won't be able to take out a new mortgage for years. It'd only be a tiny percent of pe

> We also know both are right-leaning and I wonder how much of that factored in to the firing of the human rights, ethics, accessibility etc teams. From HN guidelines: Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes. Pleas

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. ADA requirements are incredibly complex, at times very specific and at times very unclear and open to interpretation. The truth is that almost every building could be found to be in violation, no ma

People do talk about all those things. There are plenty of groups dedicated to each of those things individually or which include all of those things in their mission statement. Unfortunately, we live in a world where getting even the most

This is a weird take. I can certainly tell all sorts of differences between Apple and non-Apple products. A short list of the major things that I think set Apple-quality apart: Zero effort towards backward-compatibility or longevity, just

Maybe try... a good Android phone? This question is silly. The Pixel or any top-end Samsung is equivalent or better than the iPhone in hardware. The Android and iOS user interfaces are similar enough that it's mostly personal preferenc

I hope this was a joke, but if not, this is not good advice for most people. Having kids does not solve substance abuse issues, mental health issues, relationship issues or any similar problems. People may believe that having kids will fix

My school had weed out classes in my program, but it had nothing to do with graduate admissions or competitive rankings. The point was that it's better to have a student struggle and make adjustments earlier rather than later in their

This was the first I'd heard of this and thought it sounded interesting, so I looked into it. If I were a fact-checker, I guess I'd rate this as "mostly false". He's not "bankrolled by Koch Industries", bu

There is almost nowhere on Earth that you could hope to raise cattle on 0.5 acres per cow long-term. For instance, the Texas Land Association gives guidance of 50-75 acres per cow for natural wooded pastures. If you develop a "managed

Weird. I think the impossible burgers are ok but bland, but love Beyond meat. I never bought any "veggie burger" products for at home, but would occasionally order one in a restaurant when it was the best option and thought they w

You could just defrost them in the microwave in a few minutes. I know much of America is incredibly excited to see these fail, but I'm a huge fan of Beyond Meat. I don't really care what the stock price is or how many other people

I'd like to believe it was the original poster's goal to point out that women tend to make smarter choices regarding work-life balance because they've been socialized to "want it all" meaning work is only one facet
