It's the rate that women are getting pregnant. Circumstances and societal conditions can certainly curtail and slow the willingness of otherwise capable women to have families.

Probably. Otherwise, it wouldn't keep happening.

The EU's a bit bigger than the UK by a fair margin.

Chicken and egg problem. Cars are necessary because businesses/places to work are far apart, but they got to be the distance they were because cars are around. The US is a huge place, there was plenty of space to go around and the curr

Big difference also is, sadly, one this is immediately visible and tangible versus a vague "security" diagram and document. Noone wants to get hurt in a fire, but noone really gets "hurt" when security is compromised.

English being a mess may be one of its charm points. Many languages in a trenchcoat, full of flavor and exceptions to its own rules and a headache to learn.

Sounds like what caused the mindshare death of Tumblr. Pivoting away from the core reason you make money even if it's not the intended use case seems like a great way to cause the death of your company.

They're only useful for cosmetic and extra quests and the like. You can just straight up ignore them and not lose out on anything.

Hardly anyone doing the same job gets the same salary, with notable exceptions. I certainly didn't make the same amount of money as my coworker at my old job.

I would say they're so much ahead because they're so far behind. True, in the US consumer rights are largely a joke, but on the same token doing business in the EU seems to be a huge regulatory mess for corporations both abroad an

Amazon has incredibly poor quality control depending on what you're buying. On the other hand, if you buy something retail, you can A. see it yourself first and B. have a physical store you can return it to.

That's a big crux of the issue. Why should a teenager spend X amount of hours on a volatile schedule to get a pittance of money that quite literally gets eaten up nearly as quickly as it comes in? McJobs have been a recurring joke for

I'm not sure people who would want pain emojis care enough to buy votes at the club. Besides, at least as far as Discord/Slack goes, most people I've found just upload their own little emoticons as they are more meaningful an

>not everyone will get equal (or any) additional income under a UBI scheme Why call it universal base income if you can price yourself out of it like you can with normal welfare? I thought that was the entire point of the system.

While this is true, it is not magically funded, consider the average person. Taxes historically are taken out every pay check. This person is now receiving $X dollars a month "for free", insofar that it doesn't require any ac

I'm not forgetting supply and demand. The supply increases, therefore demand would as well. If there are more places to live than people who need them, then I'm curious where this place is. In populated areas where the rental mark

Rent is a big one. For example, you charge your tenants $1000 a month now. UBI kicks in, everyone gets an extra $500. Why wouldn't a landlord up their rent charge to $1500, or even to just $1250? Who wouldn't want to do that?

Funny how American dominated websites care more of American politics over European ones. To be glib about it, it also goes to show the demographics at work here. Even now, GDPR resulted in more of a pain for Europeans than Americans; it&#x2

The power of centralization! If I can't have it, you can't either! I wouldn't say it's fragile, though. Just like normal IT work, people only pay attention when it isn't working.

Probably a combination of all three. The US and China have the benefit of a comparatively gargantuan native population that all speak the same language and enjoy similar tasting kool-aid that you can immediately market to. A business in SF

Genuinely curious, if you want an open and polyamorous relationship with a group of people, why wouldn't a structure similar to an LLC or similar business group not be roughly sufficient (as far as a framework goes)?

Low testosterone has deleterious effects for men [1]. For women, offhand I don't believe having "low" testosterone is as big of a deal, but that may be because the range from high to low is greater for a man than a woman and

My statement also had a second part which you seemingly missed for the sake of your argument. Calisthenics, or bodyweight, exercises are perfectly viable for becoming fit and require nothing than you being able to find a nice spot on a floo
