  • Apparently, the dopamine rush of telling someone about your project, you going back to school, you getting healthy, improving yourself, etc is so strong it's basically pre-rewarding you for it. The result is scientifically-documented drops in people following-through and achieving their goals... You want to succeed? Don't tell anyone until you're already almost there!

  • Agreed, but it's not "some boomer", it's giant corporations. Sure, some boomers are profiting handsomely off their rentals/lake houses/AirBNBs/etc. But that individual greed will never match the boards of directors full of the same types of people, all enriching themselves on a giant scale by profiteering off our need to have shelter.

    How in the world would anyone know that!? I'm in IT, use Linux, etc, and still have absolutely no idea what that Synology NAS is worth. Uninformed people are probably even worse, especially for older electronics.

    Choosing to be insulted because someone didn't bid what you think they should have when there's such a huge variance is wild to me...

  • Middlemen Insurance companies run our entire for-profit healthcare system in the US. You have to pay your "deductible" first before they'll pay anything significant, which could be thousands of dollars. Every year. Entire families are bankrupted every year, even with health insurance. They have us over a barrel...

    Normal people don't look at others and think "they want our children [sexually]." 🤮 I'm unaware of any proof that LGBTQ+ folks prey on kids at higher rates than cishet predators. They need to check this guy's computer and keep him away from children...
