I’m bummed out that this looks suspiciously like one of my favorite hiking areas.

This is SO true; it seems almost NO parents teach any basic personal finance (likely because most are financial disasters themselves) and it is not taught in school to any degree.  I actually do free personal finance sit-downs with friends and acquaintances for this reason, and I will have to take a look at this app…

Don’t you need your own evidence to call them “utter bullshit”?

As someone with anxiety and panic disorder, I consider it my responsibility to learn how to operate within the world as it is; sometimes I do well, sometimes not so well, and I need to keep working on my “toolbox” that I use to get through situations that might cause me difficulty.

As the snake eats its tail....

+1 Underrated comment.

I think the quotes in the title were in the wrong place; corrected.

I wonder what the Jezzie positions would be had it been a man having sexual relationships with his subordinates. I mean if the power imbalance is the issue, should be the same opinion for both, no?

If you’re perplexed by double standards from feminists in Twitter, it’s because there ARE no standards. It’s “people I agree with politically are right in everything they do, and those with whom I disagree are always wrong”.

I can’t believe that some early employees who thought they were 30 days from being millionaires and who made financial expenditures (house, whatever) based upon that aren’t going to hunt this guy down and do him some harm. :-/

This is such great information; I plan on sharing it with some friends who are in the same situation. Too many people think they just can’t do this, but it is indeed a learned skill. Granted if someone is drained by social interaction as many introverts are, this won’t make them LOVE it, but it COULD make it less…

Or maybe the climate is so complex and has so many variables interacting that models quickly fall apart when trying to look even remotely into the future, so don’t claim that certain things “will definitely happen”.

Maybe he can place little signs where the hundreds of millions died due to overpopulation, as we were ASSURED would happen in the late 1960s:

Let’s never let good news get in the way of trying to convince everyone that the world is falling apart. Christ, I wish some younger people would read even VERY RECENT history: the 1960s were massive pollution and race riots, the 1970s was the gas crisis and we FINALLY started fixing polluting, the 1980s were massive…

Capitalism =/= cronyism/corruption.

“How to Win Friends and Influence People” still rings true today; most people love to talk about themselves and so if you ask them questions (in specific “safe” areas as outlined in the book), you can easily land on topics that you can either find commonality with your own experiences, or it can lead to other question…

I know for me what is less important than actual spending on groceries is RELATIVE spending on four other categories I have in Mint.com:

Exactly! My point was going to be between road bikes and mountain bikes; granted higher pressures on road bikes but MUCH less volume.  Hand pumping your 29x3 with a mini-pump is quite the workout :)

So what practical EFFECT do you think this will have, or is it just virtue signaling? I assume anyone who can afford a fur can certainly afford to get one in Vegas, Aspen, NYC, or lots of other places where they can obviously afford to travel.
