Never a popular topic on HN, but I’ve been through some appalling diversity training as a white man that seems a-ok in the broader culture. I’ve left one high paying prominent fintech job over such nonsense. Sadly, I feel this is the result

They have not increased the tax but still collect it. We’ve definitely paid for the road. We pay every time we fill our tank.

They’re not bleeding or have obvious trauma? I’m not defending the hospital in TFA, per se, but my wife recently had an ER visit on a miscarriage. She was immediately admitted and tended to be a doctor for the fact that she was hemorrhaging

Reminds of my recent favorite fun fact: when they outlawed asbestos in home building in the Us, they allowed firms with stock on-has to keep using it if they so chose. So dangerous we need to outlaw its sale… but hey we don’t wanna waste a

I used to roll BJJ with a 50-ish year old man. As a teenager he suffered a debilitating car crash and hip replacement at the time, resulting in his having a cane until his second replacement circa 2020. This allowed him to walk cane free a

It’s called being human. I worked next door to the church that was shot up in Charleston and felt similarly moved despite not knowing them, never having been inside the building, and not having even been a Christian at the time. It is a bit

I’m not at all in favor of the assert confiscation I witnessed - but - why should we care about investors from shady countries of all places?

In what jurisdiction would I be liable for verbally harassing a scammer? I ask because worked for a cybersecurity firm and we would, on occasion, and mostly the “teh lulz” screw with phone scams. Our legal had nothing to say on that front.

What are you imagining the typical rate is in much of America. When we lived in the city we had a range of about 225 to 300 per week as of last year. Outside of the city we pay 160 per week. The real issue was the waiting list…

I’ve never personally been bothered by the ask-to-ask, the reality is I have a 100 WPM typing speed and “Sure, Whaddya got” is muscle memory at this point in life. Pleasantries and social oddities are just part of being a human after all. W

Meanwhile in America I am allowed to self-remove asbestos as a homeowner no verifications required. Whereas a commercial builder is required to have certifications. Another “fun fact,” when the asbestos ban went into place builders were sti

It’s simple comfort food consistently cooked by an often sassy staff. Sometimes that beats a Gucci plate with opaque aioli at absurd prices. If Bourdain says my old Waffle House beats a French laundromat who am I to argue? Cultural institut

Were these OBs practitioners of abortion? I’m confused on why they would leave, was there a stated protest or is TFA drawing a false conclusion on an existing of providers leaving the state as others already are.

What style of multifamily are you referring to here? Every townhome and apartment style I’ve ever lived in has discrete electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. I’ve only rarely seen condo styles with shared systems and those typically come with una

What exactly is Kreuzberg 36? I always assumed that was a street number after hearing an old Smut Peddlers song. https://genius.com/Smut-peddlers-kreuzberg-36-lyrics

It is clear you have different cultural expectations. I’ve stated the problem quite clearly and your insistence on interrogating me about my family is unwelcome. Have a great night.

Both parents previously had a guest room but at some point decided to eliminate them in favor of storage for their things, their hobbies, etc. Then wonder why we are hesitant to spend the money on boarding dogs, driving 5+ hours and renting

I suppose there is room for both interpretations here, my wife is fond of those rehab shows. I’m aware of parents actively estranging their children for that reason. I’m of the other cohort, such that you might say my parent has forced my h

Something I’ve wondered throughout the conflict, when and why did the US shift to a focus of techno-supremacy? Seemingly, our strategy in the WWII was to invest in technology where possible but at the same time throwing many trucks and jeep

While I understand the need or desire of a capital city like Berlin to have “good design” and advertise, i.e. “I <3 NY” a font seems deep in the rabbit hole. Is there much prior example of other metropolis making this deep of a design ch

I don’t know to what degree it’s “a thing” but I know a lot of 30-something punks from my old scene that are now into a kind of homesteading vibe. Moved out to the surrounding countryside as much for economic as ideological reasons. Some ar
