People notice what they see with their eyes. If you only had one trip to the US, and spent your time in say, Arkansas, imagine what you would write America was like, using superlatives. It's not wrong, but it's also not universal

I happened to be in a village where someone died. I was blown away by how different it sounded. The first person almost sounded dramatic(to me), but the choir that joined truly made something that was haunting.

I never knew my nose was large, or anything really. The first person I met told me I had a 'sharp' nose and kept staring at it. What I figured later was that Americans have tons of ways to differentiate people. Height, weight, e

No, I understand it perfectly. And it's BS. I'm not usually confrontational here, but please, stop. Make a twitter post about awful me, where you'll probably find validation, but don't try to paint me as bad innocently

I wrote more in another comment, at the risk of getting canceled. I just don't understand why noticing trends and things about other people is racist. Most things I noticed were things I was jealous of. All people aren't the sa

For some reason, pointing out differences in people triggers some racist warning. I think it's absolutely fascinating. I'll list just a few. To list a few examples from the Philippines...they point with their lips, small people

Same with Ford. And while I do think the addresses should be returned, they should get market value or above for them. We should not punish companies for buying into the future, which turned out to be a great investment.

I respect that, but you can't get rid of it without a complete and utter total shutdown of people coming in. Probably easier for Australia than most. USA has a lot of really uneducated and/or ignorant people, but even without it,

Perhaps, but you can see it with your own eyes. I hate generalizations as much as the next guy...but look at the change milenials ushered in. When I was a kid, it was unheard of for companies to have 'missions', nobody cared abo

Same, on one of my old servers. It was the change to zst as I remember it that did me in. I still use arch, but it's not without warts.

They're called the 'me generation' for a very valid reason...

Neat idea, two thoughts: On mobile, it completely breaks the back button. I had to swipe about 50 times and watch it letter by letter to get back here. Secondly, what's the data source? I just tested 'segue' which counted a

I've definitely noticed this. As a kid we ate mostly natural food, as my parents had a decent sized farm. We always had salt on the table, and went through a lot of it. As an adult without a farm, I cannot remember the last time I eve

Definitely. If I had to generalize license plate behavior based on my experience here - NJ - Drive like they're in NYC, no turn signals, will try to merge/squeeze into 3 inches of space. NY - Must not have lane rules, they just s

Not on the whole. FL is much more expensive than PA.

Not sure they want to become Republican, as much as they just want to live in a Republican area because, generally, taxes and crime are lower. However, I don't think most ever make the connection in their head as to why that is. but y

Yeah...I was surprised the cops helped at all. My dad has many high end game/trail cameras. One of his went missing, so he checked the others and found clear as day video of the neighbor trespassing and stealing it. Took it to the cop

Scary to admit this, but whatever. In my younger years, which coincidentally were also the younger years of the internet, I used to come across... let's say...bad things all the time. Being a decent enough human, I made many reports t

My view, as someone who did a lot of work around it: Purely a money grab by everyone involved. In what I'd consider a more normal fashion, ICANN could have slowly picked and rolled out sensible new TLDs to operators interested. Instea

Eh...I don't think of it as one in a trillion scans...but one in a trillion chance per image. I have something like 2000 pics. My wife, at least 5x that number. If we split the difference, and assume the average device has 5000 pics

I think any 'foreign' demographic would be a rather big hit. I know plenty of folks who watch just one or two foreign language stations, because that's all that really cater to or interest them. There's definitely been

Same, and it's really annoying from a waste/hassle perspective. Just last week I was buying dish soap. Something like 32 oz for 6.99, or 16 oz for 2.99 on sale. So here I am stuck buying 2 packages out of spite.

Is there a big one? Or is it that there are what, like 10 types of things called nurse now? I'm asking earnestly, not making an accusation. Ten years ago in a LCOL area, I knew an RN making about that, and they were treated like quee

I think this is probably correct. The last time I've even seen an obviously homeless person was in SF, and I haven't been there in 2 years.

They are often criminally understaffed, and get away with lower prices as a result. Added to that their shear size, they are able to purchase in bulk cheaper. Which shuts down locally run things, because they can't compete without br

Very true. Oddly where I live now, the good and bad parts of town are very interspersed. You can have million dollar subdivisions a mile from a trailer park. The added bonus is that all stores treat everyone as a criminal, apparently :).

Yeah, I just returned hundreds of dollars of power tools to Lowes because of them locking stuff up. I buy into an ecosystem based on how easy I can get items. Lowes has most of their power tools in cages. But, they don't hire people

I have some of the correspondence but not others, for some reason. I went digging through my email and found these - this was from 2014. Most were 'Google Research' links. “Programming Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your

Sure but I never applied...they reached out to me. Hence why I didn't read their materials to interview. I've been happily employed the entire time.
