I’m currently sending out fake resumes to see if the young male version of myself gets more callbacks.

She could have stayed with her first husband and raised her kids.  She could have not started an affair with Suess, which she probably vowed to do at her wedding.

Ugh, no.  Many women would keep their kids and not marry a new guy who had no interest in them.

It goes back further than that. Back in the day (English Industrial Revolution), people would line up at the factory gate every morning hoping to get a day’s work.

And for added worker pain: All those short-term contracts and the employment gaps between them are seen as a red flag by HR gatekeepers, who are in all likelihood filling a contract position.

Did you post about your mom’s opinion on earlier articles about Theranos, before its fall ? I think I read them, and they always stuck in my mind. “Some guy’s mom who knows about blood testing says this won’t work.”

You could actually get juice from Juicero though. Over-priced and all, but still juice.

I’m going to try an Asian-y vinaigrette for a cole slaw. Sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, garlic and ginger. I don’t mind mayo cole slaw dressing but it has loads of calories that I do not need.

Fuck this forgiveness fascism, and this bullshit that the victim is the one who needs it. FUCK ALL OF THAT.

“War-like behaviour” is all they can come up with and they’ve looked and looked and looked. But they HAVE found societies without violence.

How can you still be missing the point this badly? Even when researchers look really hard, they can’t find solid evidence that hunter-gatherers were particularly warlike. There is a lot of evidence that they were (and are) not. So violence is NOT simply human nature. This is the comment I was responding to, and it’s

Dude, at least try to take a worldwide view. You’ll keep missing the point but your brain might enjoy the exercise.

That’s not what it was actually like, or IS actually like for the few remaining hunter-gatherer groups. Get educated.

Yeah I know about that. It’s poor research and bad critical thinking. Hell, more people die in car accidents every year than in any war among hunter-gatherers, to name just ONE serious modern problem. Also, Pinker is a fuckwit.

Now, we live in unprecedented peace and abundance (really!),

Right, it’s a “millenium old” problem, which really isn’t that long in terms of human history. Before that, in our hunter-gatherer days, there were far fewer deaths due to human conflict. Even a “war” couldn’t do that much damage. And some groups were so non-violent they didn’t even have words for it.

I’ve got a social skills question. A person I was once friends with, but who stopped putting in any effort FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, is now somewhat frantically trying to get in touch with me. I quietly dropped him like 8 years ago, after being cancelled on for the kajillionth time and generally getting no reciprocation for

Boy, you’re a sore loser.
