Are you saying your parents started a running debt for you when you were born and expect you to repay them? That’s not normal and they have no legal means to enforce that debt. If you’re still a minor, contact protective services.

Funny how all the fraud just so happens to be in orgs that are regulating President Musk.

Links are what make the web amazing. I guess I’m turning into a curmudgeon because I liked the internet better when it was more than 5 sites. I like blogs and weird art sites and homepages. I hate “install this app” and “sign up to view this”.

I like that my browser can have plugins to block ads or translate stuff in other languages or replace “billionaire” with “oligarch”.

A link without context sucks though. Don’t just say “rule”.

The interesting thing to me is that you can code and share your own feed sources. This means you can integrate APIs, or even scrape sites.

I asked it “Write a pitch for unionizing my office” and it replied with about 10 paragraphs of pro-union text

Start saving for retirement now. You can make literally millions by putting away 10% of your income early on. Do it automatically so you never even notice the money gone.

If you are worried about making the wrong choice and your company doesn’t have a 401k, open an IRA somewhere (Fidelity if you need someone to make the decision for you) and pick a date targeted fund. Set up auto deposit. Never look at the balance.

You can always make it better later but for now the best thing to do is start. Don’t let analysis paralysis get in the way.

I’m kind of amazed that this is getting downvotes after 20 minutes, even though the video is 33 minutes. I guess you already saw this?

 

This is a tough piece, one that I share without fully endorsing. It lays out the problems that women experience with some men, like that men are not getting college degrees at the same rate as women or the lack of emotional modelling provided to boys and young men:

For a variety of reasons — mixed messages from the broader culture about toughness and vulnerability, the activity-oriented nature of male friendships — it seems that by the time men begin dating, they are relatively “limited in their ability and willingness to be fully emotionally present and available,” he said.

Where I think it stops short is in thinking about the root causes of those things, and how supporting men can bring them into the feminist tent.

 

I know USA should be getting them sometime in November, any idea when though?

Compared to other killers from a public health standpoint, ADHD is bad. Smoking, for example, reduces life expectancy by 2.4 years, and if you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day you're down about 6.5 years. For diabetes and obesity it's a couple of years. For elevated blood cholesterol, it's 9 months. ADHD is worse than the top 5 killers in the U.S. combined.

Having ADHD costs a person nearly thirteen years of life, on average. Barkley adds, And that's on top of all the findings of a greater risk for accidental injury and suicide....About two-thirds of people with ADHD have a life expectancy reduced by up to 21 years.

This is from Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey in their book ADHD 2.0

Here is some more background on the research
