I paid the equivalent of $40 for 1 Gbps internet in a city with a density of about 15,000 people per square kilometre.

Supreme Court already ruled it doesn’t matter if you’re illegal or not, you’re entitled to your constitutional rights. Anyone who steps foot in the country has the right for due process.

Just a sidestory about how emphasizing ability over effort affects perceptions later in life.

Ok, I disagree with your approach towards parenting but those are your kids, not mine, and it’s not my place to tell you how to raise them. I don’t disagree that some kids can pickup things faster than others, I just disagree with telling my kids they are special.

You should also include things into your list of consideration such as:

See my post where everyone in the US is entitled to due process regardless of immigration status and how the Supreme Court has already ruled in favour of such protections. Illegal, legal, and native born citizens do not have to identify themselves if they are not being detained and are not in a car.

I think “most” is a lot different from “do not have any”.

Nope. Every person in the US regardless of nationality and legal status is entitled to most of their constitutional rights which includes due process.The Supreme Court has ruled about this multiple times. It’s just that those rights get watered down for immigration court proceedings.

So is arresting someone in a manner that violates their civil rights. The difference is, one person goes to jail/gets shot and the other person continues getting paid

You mean the article actively promotes the use of rights that citizens have and are entitled to

The OP is questioning the assumption that there are “no gifted children”. My problem is the underlying assumption that just because someone is good at something it suddenly makes them “special”. I often see parents in the US overpraising or emphasizing to their child that they are “special” or “unique”. I agree with…

And no one in the top 1% got to where they were because they decided they could cruise through life. Two people who work equally hard dont always end up with the same results but it doesn’t mean that they got to where they were without putting in some effort.

Those people also got to where they are because they had to work to get there. It’s not like Michael Phelps joined the Olympics and hopped into the pool without training for years before then. Just because you’re good at something doesn’t make you special, no “genius” has ever gotten to where they are by slacking off

I doubt most Chinese citizens actually care

Because sometimes the US offers better career mobility and work-life balance coupled with a more laid back living than other places. I’m not going to argue that working in the US is better than Canada, but for many workers in other countries, there’s a huge draw that makes the US more desirable for living in, despite…

So do premium Android phones like the GS8. iPhones sales have been on the decline for quite some time. People still care about things other than “status” especially when the price of an iPhone is increasing. It’s not like the middle class is so flush with cash they’ll just spend it all on anything they like

Plenty of android phones on the Chinese market that do just that and don’t cost an arm and a leg. It’s one of the reasons iPhones are not the top selling smartphone in China. You can get much better value from other phones

I know that China blocks google play but you can sideload apps on Android easily. There’s no point in using twitter or facebook in China anyway, few people use them. There are other better social media platforms that aren’t blocked like WeChat or Weibo

Just buy an Android phone and sideload the app, then. There’s no advantage to using Apple products in China anyway.

Idk if this would work for other people, but my method of dealing with spending too much time on Facebook was to gradually limit my time I spend on it.

I’d start out with checking it only twice a day for 30 minutes each time. When I get comfortable with that and feel fine only checking it twice a day, I set a new goal:…
