It feels like an intentionally provocative/obtuse article meant to evoke an emotional reaction and drive engagement

Yeah I can accept that point of view. I think this is highlighting a certain relationship expectation delta between men (or at least myself) and women (or some women). If my wife is doing well in her career and we are doing well with the kids, I could easily see this being considered ‘good’, but my wife may view the relationship as being neglected. I see the core functions working and consider the relationship doing well.

This situation is in development for me so we will see. 0 and 3 year old

Nitpick comment. But is kids and career really a valid pick two choice
I'm confused what your core disagreement is? It seems like you're narrowing in on some relatively unimportant detail. Using your own source, what is the likely explanation for the tape shenanigans? Who cares if op was inaccurate to the exact specifics of the missing footage? Or am I not understanding the implication of the article you cited?

Lol. I didn’t realize how important audience following was to winning tennis matches.

A possible factor on your observation is females athletically peaking earlier.

Edit. A quick investigation shows there is not a significant age difference between men and women for both top 10 player lists and top 100 player lists

Exercising is doing some activity that is good for your health. You’ve reduced this to some narrow set of activities that presumably make you stronger, faster, or better at some other easy to measure metric. I assure you it’s easy to enjoy exercising if your incentive is longevity and simply healthy living by a more subjective metric
Read ‘float’
There’s nothing fundamentally stopping all currencies from floating against gold and gold being the base asset
Re:On Trying Two Dozen Different Psychedelics on Tuesday November 11, 2025 @10:04AM (#45888049)
I’d venture to assume the downvotes are simply because you’re taking a relatively neutral topic and mapping it onto a polarized political subject
Re:On Trying Two Dozen Different Psychedelics on Tuesday November 11, 2025 @10:01AM (#45888005)
In my case, the people I looked up to generally had tried these things and reported them as valuable or interesting experiences. So I decided to ‘roll’ the dice and am glad I did.
No one knows what would happen. That is unprecedented. There would be mayhem in financial systems as all types of collateral is vaporized. All types of on paper net worth would collapse towards zero
Re:Gold Prices Top $4k for First Time on Tuesday October 07, 2025 @04:53PM (#45508728)
No
Was there concrete term limits to 'never'. Otherwise I fear you were the naive one.

Snarky comment meant in good humor.

There’s a significant difference between predicting what it will specifically look like, and predicting sets of possibilities it won’t look like

Their claim was that future industry would move to Asia or us. Comparisons of US to EU for present day do nothing to contradict this claim.

I have no take on this claim being true

Re:Why the $25,000 car is going extinct on Tuesday July 01, 2025 @09:14PM (#44439402)
The logic doesn’t scale. You can’t impose arbitrary and subjectives thresholds to gloss over this fact. The obvious conclusion is that safety is one of many moral factors to balance.
Re:US Ends Support For Ukrainian F-16s on Monday March 10, 2025 @12:00AM (#43316889)
I think this is a popular but unrealistic take based on real observation.Real observations being. Increase friendliness towards Russia. Decrease friendliness towards Europe/canada. Don’t confuse inflection points with the actual position.

Re:The Demoralization is just Beginning on Thursday March 06, 2025 @04:37PM (#43285309)
This seems to be an orthodox opinion I see often, and I get the intuition. But time preference is a real thing. Tech is the easiest example. People buy tech that they don’t need that will be significantly cheaper in the future. I’m not a historical expert, but this specific point didn’t seem to be an issue during the time periods we were on the gold standard.
Re:The Demoralization is just Beginning on Tuesday March 04, 2025 @11:11PM (#43262670)
Care to elaborate? It’s thought provoking as a mechanism to reduce all of this zero sum (or even worse, parasitic) effort that dominates our system.
Re:The Demoralization is just Beginning on Tuesday March 04, 2025 @10:40PM (#43262420)
I’m not following your critique in relation to the article. It seems to encompass your final line. Step up and work harder. No mention of blocking other countries.
Re:Global sales of combustion engine cars have peaked on Tuesday March 04, 2025 @09:37AM (#43255205)
It just reads as present tense. Your point is valid. However, there are going to be how many eye balls that don’t read past the headline and don’t think deeply on it, but now have the impressions that they are currently at a peak
Take your by own advice ;)

Don’t pass up a chance to pee is the advice in question.

Which I’d equate to; Better to be prepared than sorry

Re:Inheriting is becoming nearly as important as working on Friday February 28, 2025 @08:08PM (#43214346)
We are not far off from trillionaires. Saying billionaires shouldn’t exist at this point sounds pretty radical to spin in positively
Re:Inheriting is becoming nearly as important as working on Friday February 28, 2025 @08:03PM (#43214291)
It’s really incredible how much people feel entitled to in the us. And by entitled, I mean they spend money on these things because it’s beneath them to think they shouldn’t have said experience or thing.
Sure. The company I work at is hybrid in the manner I described.
I believe hybrid in this context means, there is an office and some people come in as little or as much as they want/need, and some people are fully remote.
Re:Elon Musk's DOGE team may need a crash course in COBOL on Saturday February 15, 2025 @11:30PM (#43065347)
This is a kind of weird rationalization where the conclusion leads the interpretation of the facts.

It’s hard to get away from the fact that space x and Tesla deal with critical systems. And by most accounts, they’ve pushed things forward

Ahh I just had to share that my 1 year old daughter also loves the grocery store. She doesn't want to leave the cart when it's time to go. Thanks for the comment.
