In other words, monopoly.

He was sent to a monastery when he was 12 and stayed for 10 years.

It can be inexpensive in terms of rent but you will need to pay for transportation (i.e. car and gas) to live in the US.

I lived in Budapest and Chiang Mai, Thailand before and the advantage of these cities is that you can pretty much walk anywhere or pay little for private/public transportation. Food is everywhere and you're not stuck in the middle of nowhere.

The cost of owning a car is part of the living expense... so it's not just rent.

And FYI, I had a nice studio in Chiang Mai for less than $250 a month. It was professionally cleaned every week and the place was just steps away from cafes and grocery stores. No cars required.

This is free market working correctly. Transparency is important. You should have information about the price AND outcome. It is not mutually exclusive.

It is not in the newsfeed... it is the News Room. I didn't login and I was able to read this.

For more women to be confident to have these traits, society need to start encouraging girls to be leaders, competitors, driven and independent individuals.

For reference, I am a woman but I am often discouraged to show leadership skills or be competitive with others, especially with guys at work. I can feel the air change when I exhibit these traits. People start to distant themselves from me because I don't fit the culture norm. I feel I can do a much better job if I showed more feminine traits like listening more and being empathetic and showing I'm a team player.

So yeah, it is easy for a guy to be critical because he has no experience in the matter!

If you want to know more about how women are treated differently here's an article - https://www.fastcompany.com/40456604/these-women-entrepreneu...

Men apply if they are 60% qualified and most women apply if they feel they are 100% qualified. Making the application description more female-friendly does not bring more under-qualified candidates. It brings those who doesn't feel as confident in their own ability but ARE qualified.

What you miss here is that men are often overconfident and women are under-confident. It has nothing to do with qualification. It has everything to do with confidence.

And yes, women are often less confident because tech is an industry often marketed for men.

Did you read the full article? Or are you cherry-picking to tailor your criticism?

> Studies have shown that that women are less likely to respond to an ad that has overly masculine or aggressive language (despite being qualified), whereas men will apply regardless.

Having a job description more gender friendly encourages more women to apply and men will apply regardless.

You should read the article liked to this article - https://hbr.org/2014/08/why-women-dont-apply-for-jobs-unless...

Women apply to jobs only if they are 100% qualified whereas men doesn't get deterred by lack of qualification.

Thank you for having a conscience and not doing these dirty work.

Reading how these technology affected election outcomes make me want to work on the 'light' side. I'd love to help out in 2020 in some capacity for the right candidate.

So you're saying the U.K. lied and Russia is telling the truth? Lol, how do I know Russia is being truthful? I would believe this only if confirmed by a truly independent Russian insider. Oh wait, there aren't any because Putin assassinated them all!

How does Mossad have the facilities and knowledge to produce Novichok? It's not something you can order from Amazon.

Why? Because Russia is an international bully/mob. They are going after people on their hit list because they don't have to fear the U.S. intervention. Clearly, Trump is not going to do a thing. So now is the time for assassinations in the U.K. The country and NATO are at a weak position because the U.S. probably won't help sanction and retaliate Russia.

What is it that makes this fishy to you? Why do you think Russia is not responsible? Who else would've done this? Did someone just magically have a rare nerve agent made in Russia, brought it to UK and sprayed it on an ex-Russian spy? Gosh, what a freak accident! Or if someone did it on purpose then what is his intention? Why would someone go out of his way to frame Russia? What is the goal? Purpose? Or maybe... just maybe... it is just Russia being Russia and doing shady Soviet style operations.

Pai was appointed by Obama at the recommendation of Mitch McConnell.

And this is because only 3 FCC commissioners may be members of the same political party. So once Obama appointed 3 Democrats, he HAS to appoint 2 Republicans. McConnell essentially appointed the other 2 for Obama.

I feel this contradicts with the ideas about Positive Thinking and Law of Attraction.

https://greatist.com/connect/law-of-attraction

Many successful people use positive thinking to help them succeed in challenging situations. If you lower your expectation, then you will never become successful.

I think having expectation oftentimes create psychological disorders what Logotherapy identifies as anticipatory anxiety and hyper-intention...

I think key is to actually NOT to have expectation. Expectation are result focused. What's important is to be process focused. And process is more about thinking positively on each step. Or better yet... use Paradoxical intention to face our worst fears.

I'm in my 30s and I use FB a lot to keep up with my friends. However, I have notice that my younger cousins in their 20s never post. So... where do young folks go these days? Instagram? Twitter? Snapchat? I guess I need to talk to my cousins more and find out.

I thought it was a random person's github account because Lang is a common Chinese/Asian name...

When Siddhartha (Buddha) ran away from home, he was not yet a Buddha. This is just the beginning of his story.

It was through his journey that he discovered true Enlightenment. And after he attained enlightenment, he started to teach and share his wisdom with people. He listened to people's sufferings and guided them with open heart. He even listened to those who questioned him and his teachings. There are a few stories out there. I will find them and share the links.

-- Edit --

He left at age 29 and didn't find enlightenment until he was 35. Afterward, he spent 45 years teaching.

He went back home twice for his family and he taught them his teachings.

Eh, so I would like to add I lean towards social democracy. And I admit I have a bias view. When I think of pro-business, I think of corporations valuing profit over people, of government valuing control over personal freedom, and of people who assume money can solve all their problems.

> China and Asia, in general, has a very conservative "keep it to yourself, fix it yourself" attitude when it comes to problems, which can be very toxic.

I think the attitude is more 'don't stand out' and 'don't be different' attitude. 'keep to yourself' is a behavior resulted from this attitude.

Most native Chinese folks value group experience over individual experience.

I'll try to take a stab at this. I'm Chinese-American and I feel the Chinese folks who come to the US to study or to work have very different mindsets.

I have a friend who is dating a lot in NYC and he told me he notice most of his Chinese-American friends are liberal as in we fight for freedom of expression and social justice. Whereas the girls he met who are newly from China are conservative and support Trump because they are pro-business and more money-driven.

Based on his observation and my own experience I would agree. Most new Chinese visitors or immigrants don't value social rights and freedom of speech. And to be a bit critical, I feel they are so used to having the government or authority telling them what to do that they are comfortable with authoritarian rules and don't understand the importance of having independent thoughts and diversity.

If you read the article, it did mention Socrates warned about writing. Maybe Plato did say it as well.

Anyways, your point was brought up in the article.

Did you read the article?

As a female, I think this article didn't take into consideration that we buy a lot of shit! Clothes, make up, body care items, etc... I swear we produce more trash than men for the sake of vanity!

So yeah, maybe women do recycle more but I think we produce a lot more trash than your average manly man who wears the same shirt 3x a week and doesn't need to apply hand lotions every half hour.

Of course, when Capitalists read this article, it is bad news for them because they can no longer make money off people. Better stick to oil and coal for maximum profit! #MAGA

Have you looked into Foreign Earned Income Exclusion?

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/fore...

"If you are a U.S. citizen or a resident alien of the United States and you live abroad, you are taxed on your worldwide income. However, you may qualify to exclude from income up to an amount of your foreign earnings that is adjusted annually for inflation ($92,900 for 2011, $95,100 for 2012, $97,600 for 2013, $99,200 for 2014 and $100,800 for 2015). In addition, you can exclude or deduct certain foreign housing amounts."

Yes I am serious. And how is this partisanship when pointing out the need to hold politicians accountable for what they say vs what they do? Care to explain your comment? Why is accountability a sign of partisanship?

This! "They just say what they need to say, in the moment, to get what they want"

And Trump is the magnification of the GOP.

We need to hold them accountable!!!

You should work more to support a country is an line that would come straight from a Communist country.

We as humans are not born to work. That's a false idea being propagated by people who want to use you for their own gains. We are born to find ourselves, to realize our best potentials, to follow our dreams.

It is a democracy quickly turning into an oligarchy. In a democracy, people's voices get heard. In an oligarchy, $$ gets exchanged. This is exactly what is happening. Rich donors and lobbyists are buying Republican votes so they can avoid paying taxes and screw the middle class. The middle class has been shrinking for decades now. The rich gets richer and poor gets poorer is the best sign that oligarchy government is happening.

Also, as other poster mentioned, socialism != communism. Grab a book, read about it.
