I would argue that 18 is not a complete adult just one defined legally as an adult by our legal system. I would argue that the definition of complete adult is relatively arbitrary and mostly cultural. “A human being should be able to change

Needing to take immunosuppressants for the rest of your life is exceptionally dangerous and you best have a proper justification for it.

I think this is incorrect because it assumes the job offers are equal. My understanding is that it is much more like two chronically unemployed people: the first doesn't get an interview 99% of the time, the second one is 99% only offe

Do you actually talk to women about dating apps? I have, and they basically have to walk around variously unhinged, landmine men who are still in the dating pool (the good ones are obviously snatched up quickly). I'm talking demeaning

My point is not that no wealthy people save things. My point is that a lack of minimalism is often an indicator of the class where one grew up.

I noticed you didn't bring up them also taking napkins, sauce packets, sugar and creamer, cutlery etc. You either already were eating at wealthy enough places (metal cutlery + real cloth napkins) that this wasn't an opportunity fo

I disagree with the broad idea that immigrants have less resources compared to the US born population as a category. Immigrants are often more educated than the native US born population, with greater incomes. Nigerian-Americans are some of

One of the biggest indicators to me, as someone who has navigated such lines before, is how comfortable co-workers are with waste. A co-worker who takes catered food home (without saying something like, "oh I have 3 growing teenagers&q

TBH That's literal nitpicks. Nowhere in the paper is a causal relationship proposed. Your statement that a potential subconscious proposition exists in the paper is windmill-tilting.

by TeaDrunk 2y ago
I don't think the paper implies any causality either way. Notice that the title of the paper itself is "The neurobiology of life course socioeconomic conditions and *associated* cognitive performance in middle to late adulthood&qu

Forgiveness isn't like acting like what a person did never happened. It's describing the cessation of the feeling of resentment and anger at being wronged. Depending on how small or large the action is, the wrongful action can be

So... you get my confusion and skepticism at this claim that it is "rare" for doctors to bring up obesity to an obese patient!

Schizophrenia can be more or less severe. A schizophrenic with very mild symptoms, a stable life, access to food and shelter, no unhandled trauma, etc. can function and even thrive without medication. The disease can also get better with ag

No, I think it is terrible. Is Grindr paying for the relocation? The cost of traveling to scope out apartments? Assuming people purchased property in LCOL places, October is barely any time to get a house ready to sell + actually go through

Tumblr had their own sense of influence and a very different kind of person that would launch careers. IMO Tumblr was way more into thought pieces, deep fandom rants were encouraged, humorous quips that would go viral, and collages of pictu

The main barrier to poverty is that there is a statistically almost no way to meaningfully save up enough money to get out of poverty, by onesself, just by forgoing anything that doesn't contribute directly to food and shelter . Liter

I don't think anyone is claiming it doesn't. It looks more like a huge misframing of existing studies that say you are unlikely to change the fundamental aspects of an individual human, such as personality and intelligence, throug

I think part of this is that, obviously it is totally fine to discriminate based on age. Children aren't allowed to work, vote, buy certain items, etc. You're also not allowed certain public offices if you're too young.
