This is why "average" is a shitty way to measure what values are likely.

If you have a thousand people who have a thousand dollars, and one person who has a billion dollars, the "average" person has a million dollars.

Ehh really depends on your boss. And honestly it depends on you also. If either of you can't separate work from personal time then you really shouldn't be hanging out. But for most of the bosses I've had, some lighthearted social time outside of work was perfectly fine.

I don't know why you're being down voted. As a Spanish speaker, it's a definite limitation of the language. Where is the penis on a pen, or the vagina on a pencil? Not everything needs a gender, even if you take a firm stance on the existence of non-binary people.

I got the joke, but it's just not funny. It's overused so much I was fully expecting someone to say it as soon as I hit the comments. It's a part of the "only joke" series right leaning people make about non-binary people being "attach helicopters" and it comes up every time the subject comes up on the Internet.

Don't ask don't tell failed because the stigma of being different forces you into silence and trying to conform.

Do I want to hear if you're a "top" or a "power bottom"? No. I don't want to hear about anyone's bedroom preferences.

That doesn't mean that I want you to never talk about your significant other, regardless of their gender.

You can separate bedroom preferences from love preference, and the inability to do so speaks pretty loudly about how you view your own relationships.

I think you might just be hyper aware of it and see it in places that are not AI written. This reads fine to me, very stereotypical article where you only need to read every other sentence in every other paragraph because the writer was fluffing for ad space. It's hard to write a "scrollable" article about a very specific piece of a shoe.

We are not to the point of climate change where we can expect rapid, radical changes to the way the majority of Americans live. And when we hit that point, it won't be made by complaining to the people driving cars, it will be made by politicians abolishing zoning laws, setting stronger restrictions on rent within cities, and heavy investment into public transportation.

Blaming the huge number of people who can't afford to live in a city and must drive an hour each way for work just makes you an asshole.

Model 3 backseat is pretty awful for anyone over 6'. And I say that as someone who owns a model 3

The UI is not the worst I've ever had in a car, it sacrifices a lot in favor of simplicity and/or software but a lot of simple tasks can be done through voice or happen automatically.

Wipers are auto, headlights are auto, but if you need to adjust them without using a voice command, you're gonna say "why can't this just be like a normal car"

You do get used to a lot of the quirks pretty quick. But there are a lot of quirks to get used to.

Not an Elon fan, just got one for a steal of a deal through a family member.

Yes. That was my point. Definitely not that children are a handful and many people would rather not have that responsibility thrust upon them.

Stories I've heard in the last year from my friends and co-workers:

  • Bragging about how they got 5 hours of sleep last night because their newborn finally slept until 6am

  • A "funny" story about how their 5 year old managed to get a hold of some chewing gum and got it stuck in their hair and all over a rug

  • A potty training "success" story about how their toddler remembered to pull down their pants, but remembered mid shit they should have sat on the toilet, so they shat all over the bathroom.

  • They found a juice box their kid bit a hole into and then tucked under their car seat... By smelling it rotting

Trojan just needs to get a group of parents together to tell stories about their kids and paste them word for word on the back of their boxes.

I love Japanese architecture and Japanese food. And I've watched my fair share of anime and read my fair share of manga.

Anyone who doesn't know how terrible Japanese culture is to outsiders needs to educate themselves, there's a reason they sided with Hitler. That culture never really went away like it did for Germany. Talk to an actual Japanese person, who went to school in Japan and see how much they know about their war crimes, and then talk to a German.
