See, that's the great thing about America. We can have neighborhoods with HOAs and those without. You get to choose!

Do you have a recommendation to start reading about stoicism, but potentially not the early philosophers? A more modern text?

IDK, maybe I'm missing something, but I can't do something I feel like should be super basic. I went into the Arcade category, zoomed to my city, Arcade was in the wrong location. How can I report an incorrect location?

I'm not sure where "fears" comes from. My assertation was that we (collectively) become less social as we age. We value social interactions less. I can attest that is true for me. It's not about fear. It's that I do

Spot on. Leaders in my company love to tout the line "assume good faith". If you say anything that indicates someone else is not operating in good faith, you are deemed the bad actor. This allows bad actors to run absolutely rampa

Somewhere along the way, we lost the original vibe of the Internet. There was a time when it was fundamentally a community. People hosted things for the sheer joy of doing it and for the satisfaction of contributing. If I loved King Crimson

I disagree with that. I can easily tell when my non-native English speaking coworkers use AI to help with their communications. Nine times out of ten, their communication has been improved through the use of AI.

As someone else mentioned, the community is gone. But, I think there's also the feeling of victory from when you actually connected. You may have needed to autodial for hours to get onto the BBS. There was a huge amount of anticipation

I created a basic site to do some similar things as well: https://homemaintlist.com/ Need to revisit it and update it based on a lot of feedback I've received.

I have one of the best looking lawns in my neighborhood. I cut it whenever is most convenient for me. That might be any time between 9AM and 7PM. I cut it no matter the outside temperature. The only thing I avoid doing is cutting it while w

Can we get this applied to Turo? Find a car for 100/day. Try and book for 5 days. Ends up being $1000 once Turo adds its fees.

Sorry for the late reply. The Manager Tools podcast definitely talks about both sides of feedback. Everything they teach is predicated on building strong relationships, through weekly 1x1s, and starting off with positive feedback only after

The is exactly the advice that one of my favorite podcasts, Manager Tools, would prescribe. Don't give feedback about emotions or internal feelings, give feedback about behaviors. Telling someone they are acting like an asshole can be

After reading your comment, one might come to the conclusion that Europeans see Americans through the lens of reporting and social media, just as Americans see Europeans through the same lens. Both sides believe characterizations of the oth

As someone trying to piece together family history, after most of my family has died, I really appreciate this. Any and all efforts to make records available helps with clues. Building an accurate family history is a process of "one mo

Yes I have. An altercation between two people in a parking lot is different than a school shooting. Have you looked at the other items listed where there are victims? Multiple times I see that it was an altercation in a dorm room of a colle

USA Today's reporting is wrong. There are not 971 cases of school shootings. There are about that many "school incidents". Some of those incidents, like the one listed below, are where police responded to a report of someone

I am similarly irritated by loud vehicles and wonder why they are allowed to persist. Would this be better enforced if it didn't rely 100% on officer testimony? I wonder if there is a market for a "sound camera" that could be

Same. I used to run my own email servers and do all the per domain things. It was just way too exhausting. Switched to Gmail and haven't looked back. Don't even worry about email at all now. I just wish I had jumped on Gmail earli

I love playing multi-player games when there is a well built economy. Frankly, that economy doesn't even need to be built into the game. I've played multi-player games where the marketplace was outside the game (but still all done

I'm over here visualizing people holding their phones in their pocket while continuously tapping on them. The goal of not looking disrespectful might backfire on you :).
