If you are a self-reliant individual with few needs, it can be destructive for you to associate indiscriminately with others as you are likely to end up in lopsided relationships where you are exploited and relied on more than you rely on others. You need to be very careful in selecting your friends to create balanced relationships, a task which requires a non-trivial amount of energy which can sometimes be put to better use in other pursuits.

With the way things are going, they might be living with me in a basement and sharing my old age security for sustenance.
I don’t understand, what is the point of doing this? Eliminating ads? Expanding functionality? It’s not clear from the description what is to be gained from jail breaking your LG tv. I’m perfectly satisfied with it now.

I thought it was about the art of trolling for fish and it got me a little bit excited.
The downvotes aren’t helping either. True in life too, stress can become a vicious cycle leading to disastrous outcomes. That’s why turning the other cheek, so to speak, sometimes can help break that cycle. Have an upvote!
First alcohol, now this?! How else will we drown our sorrows and numb our pains?

Just as permanent this decision may seem, they could also reverse it permanently when covid is a thing of the past and people and productivity yearn for the office.
Re:The Science Behind Why Some Are Shy on Wednesday June 05, 2019 @11:23AM (#20105331)
I would add that it's a handicap with no accessibility. Many designs are undertaken with physical handicap, disabilities and disorders in mind. Rarely is shyness accommodated in like fashion or treated as a handicap to be accepted. The prevailing sentiment is that it's a feeling that can be outgrown (eg. we often hear the phrase "don't be shy" as if it's something a person has complete control over).

My retired father had been following the archives for "Learn to program: The fundamentals", and after completing 3 weeks of work, the coursepage was suddenly taken down (https://class.coursera.org/programming1-001/class). It looks like they just started a new iteration of the course and decided to remove the old one without notice. Needless to say, this experience took away from his belief and excitement in online learning (something which he had recently discovered).

If you're still in school, like to teach CS concepts and have some time on your hand, you'll be able to grow the site and complement it with more modules while leveraging the already existent user base. Plus an opportunity to make some ad $ on the side.
