Had to double check to make sure it wasn't an Onion article. He certainly has been having a crisis, and as someone else mentioned here, recently read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and tried to mimic the writing. But instead, came acro

Glad to see this, as someone who has almost only been with people with depression, this article was a very aggressive "You're not doing enough, you're doing it wrong, you're not trying hard enough, you should be doing be

In Australia, one of the big reasons have been invasive surveillance - They have multiple cameras set up inside, tracking how many seconds you are looking here or there. If it detects your eyes not doing what the AI deems acceptable, then i

I'm glad they got rid of most of them - the description text on startup settings such as "Start minimized" or "Start on bootup" were sentences such as "Have Discord greet you like a good boy", "Have D

I do agree - If there are two employees with the same work output, the one who took the time and effort to pave his way to replacement is going to be let go first.

This also has happened to me multiple times. And to the comments saying the employer could "replace you any time" - most cases, they just don't know how to do so, or have the time and money to do so. This strange article teac

It's a nice nostalgic reminder of what the web used to be - when it was just made up of people wanting to express their interests. A time where ads, tracking and Javascript weren't a thing.

Though it's cool that someone's trying to help with the JavaScript problem on the internet, since this can't run without JavaScript it only seems to add to the problem. Still great to see people trying different approaches in

>So banning conversations is reasonable imo I think that's a very sad thing to say. Say conversation is banned but "small talk" is allowed, where's the line between that? And like the guy above said, there's also

It's similar to someone complaining about their job or relationship, but refusing to do anything about it. Life can be comfortable if you keep thinking to yourself that you are a helpless victim. You become your own biggest hurdle at t

Would recommend the book "War of Art" for those who enjoy reading about this kind of topic. A short, fun read that names the effect "Resistance".

As a non-US person, I used to think "you all just have to stop eating so much" towards those overweight in the US. But after living in the US you start to understand that it really is not easy. In other countries, bread is bread,

Always insightful to enter the minds of people who are told they're "meant to die". The mental fortitude of this man is amazing. Great short read - would love any recommendations of other short stories about similar situation

Where are you seeing that there were more denials than submitted? On the first table, it shows the total submitted is 398,718. The number approved is 345,262, which leaves at most 53,456 denied (398,718 - 345,262 = 53,456).

If you check the official government reports, you'll see it's actually the other way around. 2016 H-1Bs [1] - 398718 submitted with 53456 denied = 13% denial rate 2017 H-1Bs [2] - 403675 submitted with 37993 denied = 9% denial r
