The eggs do taste better but that depends on what you are feeding them.

You don't have to eat your chickens, it’s up to you.

predators and rats and avian flu are the tough problems.

you absolutely did the right thing. Are you doing well now?
or maybe you don't write clearly?
I think we are agreeing it’s an individual’s problem. I was responding to the “compassion” comment not the joke comment but the same applies for everyone.

I just see streams of these weirdly skewed articles. The irony of segmenting society to fight loneliness is not lost on me.

slippiest of slopes.
I think the people pushing this narrative want, exactly, the reaction you are displaying here.
The person, above you, is responding as such because the framing is very passive, it sounds like it’s everyone else’s responsibility which will not help men because they have to show up. The title should “Men are not maintaining or making friendships”

They do show up at my art and DnD meetups and some of them can barely talk, at first, but after a while you can see them start to come out of their shell, I find it takes about two years before their lives become transformed.

But again, they have to show up and thats on them.

Bullshit jobs (Graeber): Im not sure if you are just starting out in the industry this book may not be for you. I had to stop reading it due to the horror of it all.

As a retired manager in tech for 20 years this is a way to get the promotion hunters out of your face. There are many only interested in titles. I don't consider them good hires but man do they rise up in the ranks and they end driving the company down.

IME. Id say it is about 50/50, the chaff from the wheat. I think this has been true thru history.

Its the latter, Larry is not your friend
Well, if their dream is to turn twitter to whatsapp then we also will lose some control of our money.
the checks and balances will eventually be deregulated and forgotten.
Why would you even want unconditional love? Are you planning on abusing and taking advantage of your spouse? People who want this are not ready for marriage.

why did they reverse the colors?

i mean why have color at all.

I see, the horror is meta.

Re:Bootcamps Are Dying: Is Higher Ed Next? on Friday January 24, 2025 @11:31AM (#42814746)
Nice article, Im in the Seattle area and saw this unfold before my eyes. The rise and fall of bootcamps and hustle culture had some unintended benefits. It leveled up the technical aptitude of the area for non-technical youth.

Its interesting to look at both masters and bootcamps as both programs are designed to open doors.

cursive just works. Printing by hand is exhausting.

i wish I had gone to a montessori school.

.. and thats how the ancient cooks added mineral supplements in their food.
show me how they are paying women?
then you should pay prople for their labor. Seriously, would you do this kind of all consuming labor for free?

Our society has lived off the free labor of women and has gotten lazy and thankless.

oh wow, this concept deserves its own post. Imagine emergency evacuation info being unattainable like this.
I think relaxing immigration for more women immigrants to provide childcare would be fine with most Anericans.
People in my country dont even want to pay taxes for the roads we drive on. The same people are trying to force others to have kids with no incentives and lackluster futures. It’s just a bad deal.
I find when the people with the least accountability want the most power; many people suffer
its a complete lie. In the 70s we were treated like luggage. shoved in the back of the station wagon, inhaling cigarette smoke from dad, and playing at construction sites. Im not kidding, that was the affluent kid.
yup, and we just lost 10,000 homes in California. We will be losing housing every year. Where I live they just build mansions.
Would there be any way to mass test for gut health?
Im seeing it in affluent communities as well.
