- Comment on Stanford Professor: The idea that Stanford University owes its graduate students a "living wage" is preposterous 1 week ago:
Hazing is the reason I decided not to become a doctor or an academic. Well, that and bad grades.
- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 3 weeks ago:
This is not a generational thing if you live in Bakersfield or Visalia or Fresno. Most of the time I’d agree.
- Comment on Just one more 5 weeks ago:
Good song about Katy public transit
- Comment on All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer 1 month ago:
I have been volunteering feeding homeless for a number of years and I was never happier than when I was tasked with throwing away compromised food. The sadism of it mixed with the altruism, sweet Jesus.
- Comment on Are some people too stupid to feel depressed? 2 months ago:
Depression is not this. It is far more complex.

Many petty tyrants who couldn’t hang in a normal job. I dealt with these guys in a tech support role. Many are genuinely nice. Some have oppositional defiant disorder

I liked this meme until I thought, wouldn’t it be cooler if it were a complex and reversible operation? 3/10 doesn’t deceive enough

- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 months ago:
Specifically, the phrasing “you were/you are” is not totally accurate. You were in many tax brackets. You are now paying a fraction of your income in a higher tax bracket. It’s tantamount to begging the question.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 4 months ago:
That’s a loaded question. Poor methodology.

Sharing your kids’ secrets with anyone is a breach of trust. Good way to get your kids to not trust you with anything. You don’t get to override their preferences because you value their secret information differently.
- Comment on And there was no on line manual 7 months ago:
Websites used to be like this. I hate modernity.
- Comment on I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas? 8 months ago:
Honestly it’s a very lazy tack. Imagine what would actually happen if you are a young conservative and your leftist aunt or whatever gives you 1984.

Oh god Ayn Rand? I’m surprised he has the attention span. Yeah Anarchy State and Utopia.
Steel man his perspective. Give him something he finds interesting which will also teach him to develop his argumentation.

Give him a book by Robert Nozick, so he discovers what coherent conservative philosophy sounds like
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 8 months ago:
Too right. The groundswell of non-empathy in the U.S. is the real reason I am leaving

Citizen of Australia, never been more valuable than now

It’s my point of no return. Leaving in two weeks forever. Good luck.
- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 9 months ago:
I am a homeless man in San Francisco because I quit a public sector job that I was not allowed to fix with my good-ass coding skills. I have no regrets.

- Comment on How will I find financial stability if I live in a third world country with a toxic sociopathic/narcissistic mother, I have no skills (at least I think so), no time and therefore no money? 1 year ago:
I’ve messed with Spanish, Italian, German, and Swahili. It is not my opinion that these languages are more difficult to learn than English, even with the reduced pronouns and gendered nouns.
I think you’re doing great.
