This both oversimplifies the experiences of people who have been through economic cycles before (some of them are shocked too), and underestimates the power of the human imagination. I for one believe I can read about an era I didn't e

I tried Keto and all I got out of it was weight loss in year one, followed by plateauing, and then weight gain, and then a nice update from my dentist that I had borderline high blood pressure. Since then I've gone to mostly "low

This post is missing the key detail: is this person taking risks with 'the house's money' (high net worth, can generate passive income) or not? The answer is probably yes having spent that many years at fb, but I found the t

I think people like myself have throwaway accounts for this purpose. For example, I use this account to say things I think might end up with negative karma. However, right now this account has positive 78 karma. Just a hack I and probably o
