> Burnout's root cause is a mutually-reinforcing school/work/personal environment known as "total work Personally, I would think the solution to this type of millennial burnout is having the economic stability and…
Has this been the way households have been organized for centuries, or is this just the way a particular upper-middle class or aristocratic families have organized?
He also claimed hate speech was down, so I’m not sure he’s the most reliable source
I think the problem is that we lump all these things together as "politics." This way, it's easy to bring up the specter of "we're too partisan these days," but if you look at the individual issues, it's a lot more…
BRB changing my gender back so I can date a transphobe. Glad I changed my political position!
Twitter can be hard to parse, but it's not impossible to understand. If you're having trouble understanding it, you could ask or just not comment? This feels like the equivalent of replying to an argument with "you're"
Those episodes were fantastic. It really shows how commentators latch on to the optics of the situation rather than the actual substance of what's trying to be addressed. "We agree date rape is bad, but someone threw…
You can do that and also not date people who are against LGBT rights?
People on this site like to mindlessly parrot the “we’ve become too partisan and divided these days” narrative, but what are they actually proposing? Oh wait……
These all seem like things that should be dealbreakers
I’d argue that the injustice in this situation is the lack of housing that’s causing people to squat in the first place. These people want to sound like their just “hard men taking justice into their own hands” but…
A company full of strongmen committing semi-legal violence against poor people has ties to the far-right movement? I’m shocked!
People on Hacker News love to complain about NIMBYism, but then downvote a comment that points out a glaring market problem. It really shows that YIMBYism was never about empowering new homeowners or tenants, it’s just…
A labor shortage = an increased demand for labor. If that labor can’t be purchased at the current market rate, then they’ll need to spend more on labor (increase wages), which in theory would come out of the salaries…
I think the view that we “just need more market-rate housing” is simplistic. Blindly building lots of housing doesn’t necessarily mean that people are going to move there. In Boston, for example, many of the luxury…
Not used to hacker news commenters being quite so mask-off, but I suppose it was only a matter of time
At least one of the sources in this article, the Washington Free Beacon, is financed by a right-wing activist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Free_Beacon So yeah, doesn't really seem like a case of…
Good. Now they should start deplatforming the other world leaders who are encouraging genocide in countries the US media doesn't pay as much attention to.
It’s true that these numbers do matter when it comes to _implementing_ these laws, my argument is that it isn’t a useful barometer for the quality of the ideas. In your example, 60% of people didn’t support gay marriage…
From my perspective, it doesn't really matter to me what percentage of the population holds what beliefs, or how many different political stances they're balancing. What matters is the beliefs they have and the outcomes…
How efficient would the spending need to be before it's considered "effective"? Personally, I would rather the government spend "ineffectively" and cover everyone than the current situation
On the other hand, statistics can be arranged and presented in ways that can be misleading. At some point, if enough people are saying something, you may need to take a step back and say “what am I missing here that…
I see this expressed a lot, but from my personal experience growing up in a small rural community, I always wished I lived in the city. Maybe it’s just a “grass is always greener” thing, but I always wonder why people…
I think it’s always good to be wary of relying uncritically on experts. Nobody’s infallible, but there’s valuable perspective that comes from “person actively involved in the process” vs. “Armchair Hacker News expert”
I think I’d still prefer living in a city on the East or West coast. I’m in the LGBT community, and I like living in a state with explicit legal protections against housing, healthcare, and employment discrimination. On…
