I would say that in at least some cases over eating and anxiety are both symptoms of underlying problems. Stress, emotional issues, and trauma can all lead someone to either of the two. As someone that uses food as a…
Seeing a parallel to another field with more blatant examples of the types of discrimination keeping women out of tech-related jobs is helpful. And more discussion around these issues is more likely to lead to positive…
Harass: to disturb or irritate by persistent acts While one person saying this once is not necessarily harassment, the frame of reference has to be from the context of the recipient. Consider how often the author has to…
It sounds like from your perspective, being better looking than their co-workers is a good thing. By and large, men are going to find women better looking than other men. That means the "better looking" comment is…

Do you boycott any other companies based in, or products made in China?
Agreed. I don't think it'd be unreasonable to do blood testing as part of a kid's regular checkup cycle. Doctors use metrics to determine whether kids are growing properly (height + weight, as well as a general visual…
It helps the other 29 kids in the class until there are altercations involving 5-7 of those. Then it helps the other 22 kids in the class. What's the endgame? Do you suspend half the kids in the classroom because…
This is a good argument for government funded R&D, and government owned drugs. They cost a ton of money and take forever to create, so the product becomes very expensive, and rights to it are owned by the creating…
It wouldn't be as hard as you're implying. The rate of suicide is much higher in prison than out, and is also higher after release for people who have served their prison sentence. And that's without an impending death…
As I said - I intend to teach them to function on their own. I treat them like people rather than kids as much as possible. That doesn't address the legal concerns.

It does not.
I can post but I can't figure out how to read. After posting I'm taken back to the home page. I tried to go to sincere.chat/read but I got a silly 404. :)
>(As for "food on the table", lower income people "invest" in lottery tickets. They clearly do have discretionary income.) Low income people are desperate to get out of their situation because in a lot of cases, it's…
For my specific case: I can confidently answer "no" to this question. Unfortunately I don't think I can share the details here.
Yes. I work for the software development department of an insurance company.
I'm in favor of allowing people to live without needing to work. I understand that there needn't be a job for every person in the world. I'm aware that nobody should have to work 40 hours a week anymore. I'm open to a…
Under performing was an understatement. I could have as easily said "employees that are asleep at their desks" and it would have been true for some cases. Management doesn't pursue these people because of the effort…
Some insight as to why someone may be anti union: My union has done nothing perceptible during the course of my employment, outside of protecting employees who are under performing. My union dues cost 1% of my salary,…

I don't think you need to worry too much. As has been said in this thread, electronic devices and the software running on them are designed to be addictive. Young children lack the self-control to limit or stay away…
From the tone of your comment it sounds like you think conflict is bad. As a bit of a sidebar: It's the parent's job to teach a child how to live a healthy lifestyle as an adult. It's impossible to live a healthy…
If you were regulated like a state lottery, people would be interested - they already are. I don't think most people even consider the odds when playing the lottery.
A possible explanation for why one would participate in a lottery: What if $5 per week for the rest of their life doesn't impact an individual's standard of living, but $10 million would drastically improve it? Does it…
