Oh shit, sorry, didn’t realize y’all’d be so susceptible to chicken pox

Not a very solid recruitment strategy, as it comes off as unprofessional. But then maybe that’s a good way to weed out the people who would expect compensation for their labor

I’m a 4 man, myself
- Comment on US to demand countries share data on ‘pathogens with epidemic potential’ in return for health aid 5 days ago:
Share with who? Is there anyone left at the CDC to use this data? Or are we sharing it with RFK Jr directly so he can guide public health with his feelings about it

Yes

I’m pretty sure the blatant age disparity is part of the joke, but you can be mad about it if that’s what you want to do

That fraction back then was much smaller than it is today

Counter counter counterpoint: Nothing stopped anyone from continuing to use Windows 7
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Counterpoint: Windows back then wasn’t as reviled as it is now. I also wonder how many of the people upvoting you ever even put their hands on one
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I had a Windows Phone and I loved it. Fight me.

I really disagree with this. My parents grew up in the 50s and just thought this kind of highly processed food was normal and easy. There were also commercials that constantly reminded them to buy it. We could 100% afford better food, this is just what they wanted 🤢

Back when cell phones had physical buttons, I used to be able to type out entire sentences without even looking. Now get off my lawn!!

Fundamentally, it’s hard to overstate how much assertiveness skills can help you meet your needs. Just because it doesn’t always work doesn’t mean it never works. (When I say assertiveness, I mean confidently and respectfully seeking what you want)

Depends on the curvature of the spoon as to the severity of this issue. We need to further inspect

Commercials have always done that, though. They exist to lie to you
- Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more. 4 weeks ago:
Commercials exist solely to convince you to spend money. Turning to commercials for life advice is gonna give you a bad life
- Comment on It would be interesting to see how much worse Alan Dershowitz made the world by teaching ethics at Harvard for decades 4 weeks ago:
Don’t forget he was a “close friend” of Jeffrey Epstein’s

It says VOA at the bottom. Volunteers of America manages a ton of affordable and voucher-based properties around the country. Some of the people I’ve helped move into units with them have been on the streets for years and have zero living skills. A class like this could genuinely help someone stay housed who might otherwise lose their housing voucher and be back on the street
- Comment on The Earth is reflecting less and less sunlight, study reveals 5 weeks ago:
Life is incredibly resilient, a ton of life is going to survive and adapt just fine. You think marginally increased global temperatures is worse than the Chicxulub impact? It’s crazy that in the face of environmental catastrophe people can still find ways to irrationally catastrophize
- Comment on The Earth is reflecting less and less sunlight, study reveals 5 weeks ago:
“The extinction of all life in Earth” is not a reasonable conclusion to draw from this
- Comment on The Earth is reflecting less and less sunlight, study reveals 5 weeks ago:
It’s pretty big leap from the Earth absorbing slightly more energy from the sun to “the extinction of all life on Earth.”
- Comment on Colorado delenda est 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know, they took some of the most conservative parts of the state to the north and northeast, plus the panhandle. Maybe we’ve got a chance now.
I’m just glad they took Oklahoma
- Comment on The Earth is reflecting less and less sunlight, study reveals 5 weeks ago:
That’s actually not clear at all. How did you draw this conclusion from what’s written here? It cites decreased pollution across the northern hemisphere as one of the drivers of this, for example, and how is that horrifying?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
What is it that will make your parents happy? It sounds like nothing that you want will make them happy, so at some point you either need to do what they want and be miserable or do what fulfills you and let them handle their own misery. Secrets are not sustainable.
Caveat that most of the advice you’re going to get on here, including mine, will be from western countries.
