Did the people above my pay grade just magically get there? Are none of my colleagues ever going to advance in their careers? Why wouldn't I want to cast a wide net? Why wouldn't I be friendly and nice to my coworkers? I've g

Please don't do that. Very often depressed people are incredibly aware that they aren't being social and they're stuck in a rut. Just be a friend. Just based off wanting to help, you already seem like a good one. Check in on

Do you exercise? I used to use ridiculous amounts of cannabis just so I could sleep at night. When I was quitting, tiring myself out to the point of exhaustion at the gym was about the only thing that worked. Another big thing that has cont

You left out my qualifiers :). I fully stand by my statement that it has the best 3rd party content of any Nintendo system since the 64. The Wii was a fine system but it lacked a lot of quality 3rd party content because of how unique the ha

Not to sell you on something you don't want, but I adore the Switch. My favorite aspect of it is that I hit the power button and I am instantly in my game. I feel like it's easy to play in 10-15 minute chunks when I have a little

You're right that you can't just dive head first into a religion. I was raised Catholic, but I don't identify with that at all anymore. I was atheist for a few years, but recently I've been reading Tao Te Ching and I&#x2

I think that's what GP is saying. AP classes are supposed to be college level work. If high school ended after sophomore year, you could just actually just start your college education. It doesn't hurt AP kids at all, in fact it p

You shouldn't make this argument without supporting it in any way. Why does it have inherent value? Life doesn't have inherent value to us as a collective society. Look at livestock. We've had countless pointless wars where p

I agree. In general, DDG tends to have pretty solid results now. I'm glad it doesn't think it knows what I'm searching for better than I do. The one advantage I will give Google is that the layout can be better in some situa

I agree with this and I think it has a lot to do with free time. In college, if I was asked to go to a party by an acquaintance, I'd probably say yes. Once I started working, getting into serious relationships, and adding more day resp

This weekend I was feeling incredibly sick and there were ketones in my urine (potentially deadly for me). We got there at 9p.m and weren't seen until 2a.m. They stuck us in the room where they keep patients with potential mental healt

I don't want to argue about Android vs iOS at all. You should buy what you like, I just provided a couple reasons why I use Andoid. I'm assuming your numbers are worldwide since you did not provide a source. If they're US cen

>People buy them because they are cheap, not because they are good. This is quite the overarching generalization. Especially on a site like HN where there are tons of financially well off people choosing to use Android. Do some people bu

This is my biggest gripe with Edge/IE. - Build some webapp and get it working correctly in Chrome - Test on Firefox. It works 90% of the time. 9% of the time it's relatively easy to support. 1% of the time it isn't worth the

OP was arguing that manufacturing jobs are coming back. I cited a couple examples showing automation is going to make this very hard to be sustainable. I am not arguing that this is a bad thing or that people won't find productive ways

Even if you have a source for this data, how many of these jobs are going to be lost to automation and process improvements in the next 5-10 years? My father recently retired form a steel mill. He wasn't replaced. My city's entire

This is an even better solution. I've never had a Battle.net account so was previously unfamiliar with this. I agree though, this is a good way to give people the display name they want which is the crux of my problem with making uniqu

This is a problem with usernames being the display names on the platform. For example, my friend's Xbox Live name is in the format XX## from before Microsoft upped the minimum character count. He was grandfathered in. He's fairly

I 100% agree with you. Software is "soft". Making changes to a code base is very cheap. Iteration just makes sense in software even for critical systems. If you build a suboptimal bridge, you have to live with it. If you write su

Would some people watch TV all day? Sure. However, there are tons of people that are trapped at a desk for 8 hours a day browsing the internet and watching Youtube videos anyway. I don't see all that much of a difference outside of fre

I'm a former daily smoker. I carry a water bottle with me everywhere. When I was a daily smoker, I would pretty frequently forget where I had just set my water bottle down. My partner still gives me shit for it. Since stopping, this is

Yes, many people will take the largest script the doctor will prescribe. Insurance generally helps cover the cost of the prescription, so reselling them can be really lucrative. Even in your scenario, 25 pills seems like a lot. Many people

For freestyle (front crawl), it's more of a scissor kick. Your whole body turns with you so it's really easy to touch the sole of the foot heading toward the bottom of the pool. When someone is doing something like breaststroke, t

It really depends on context. If you have a bunch of people sharing one lane at a rec center, yes, you could be a huge jerk if you constantly were forcing people to stop by touching their feet. If there is one other person in your lane and

Rule 1, stay to the right. Generally, there is a black line running down the center of the line. Stay to the right of it, it's like traffic. Swim down on the right, reach the wall, turn, turn around swim down on the right again (you&#x

Since you generalized a large group of people, I'm also going to generalize them, too. Most swimmers are very reasonable people just trying to work out. If you ask questions while they're between sets or after their workout, I&#x2

I'd agree that sleeping is better than no sleep, but cannabis definitely does affect how you sleep. Granted it's anecdotal, but talk to any regular smoker who took a tolerance breaks. One common thread that always seems to be ther
