Most Uber drivers did not "took a job". Uber drivers originally started as self-employed contractors. Part of that is ability to refuse some rides. Most dog owners have no control over their animals. I have PTSD from dogs, if dog

Brocoli, cauliflower, lettuce... all highly recommended by every book. You discover the need for fibers very fast when starting keto.

In west birth rate declines because people have more options and want to enjoy life. That was not my experience in Japan. They have rigid culture of corporations, education, hard labor and over achievement. Some people just do not like tha

I read statistics where 40% of young people do not start family, do not date, and basically withdraw from society. In interviews they blame it on long working hours and rigid rules in society in general. So maybe there is no conflict, but i

Are you sure that trend is towards more tolerance? New generations have less sex, are more conservative... And governments are less and less tolerant to anything "disrespectful".

Lysenko was scientist with stellar credibility, he was wrong, but that happens in science. Main problem was not "anti science", but turning science into religion. Unproven theories were implemented too fast, without enough tests

"good woman to start family with" does not reflect general quality of person. 70 years old could be amazing person, but not great bride.

Linux is mature enough to handle less centralization. Each distro already maintains its flavor of patches, there is Android fork, several embedded forks... It will be more similar to FreeBSD development.

It takes a few decades and milions $ to raise a family. It is perfectly valid to have a discussion how to find a good partner for startup or business. But not for this? No wonder most people will never have children.

There are better critics of capitalism, social democracy has long tradition. Marx never visited factory and hated dirty workers. He was an "intellectual". Actually go and read his books, not just quotes.

Some countries kept revolution going for 50 years. Maybe you will not wear a mask, and smirk how you won, but system always gets its fair cut.

So rant about local politics and shaming people who decide to leave. I am sure California tax rate is under 70%, but I find it highly non transparent and unpredictable.
