If being an aged care nurse suddenly paid handsomely I would bet that you'd find the field full of men in a mid term. Men make a habit out of taking whatever work makes them the best money.

I think you took the wrong conclusion from my comment. The whole point of mixing communities isn't for skin colour, it's to homogenise culture. Families will mix too but that is much slower than culture.

Isn't the whole point of integrating people together to create a melting pot where you end up with a homogenous society? If you create "perfect" neighbourhoods with a mix of all races then you'll end up losing individual identities over a few generations. Children will mix at school, couples will form and you get mixed families, and within a couple of generations, you're roughly homogenous.

The way to end racial discrimination is to end racial identities. Humans are always going to prefer people similar to themselves, so you need to make everyone similar.

My general rule for judging adults is to not judge them based on dumb decisions they made while young. Young adults do dumb things and will continue to do so. If you're still doing dumb things 30+ then that's probably you.

If their law makes it illegal to have same-sex sex and they arrest you based on previous evidence of being gay then you're arrested for prior acts.

Something without open source licence to replace it with.

You could surely store it in a closed container though? Buy a bunch of tanks, weld them closed. Even try putting a thin coat of something over the sealed tank so that it's more leak resistant.

Flight by itself isn't something that nature has developed. It has developed self-replicating beings that can fly. Humans are still a long way off self-replicating aircraft.

While I agree I really can't see him being held responsible by US laws.

This assignment, in particular, has a reputation for being difficult, even nightmare inducing. I think it's a combination of I like challenges and I like development, while my peers might not like challenges as much or they might find it stressful.

I'm nearing the end of my second year of CS. I was up programming until midnight last night (Saturday night). I woke at 6am this morning excited that I get to keep working on this task. I don't know of a single peer excited to work on assignments but I guess this bodes well for me.

I think it goes both ways. If she was a man she would have never had any fame from this. However, a man wouldn't have his git checked.

Ok, let's have a hypothetical society where 80% of women give all their sexual attention to the most attractive 20% of men. When these women are pregnant should taxes from all men go towards their medical costs, their children's costs, etc? When these women retire who pays their pension? Surely not the taxes of the majority. If the answer is yes, then you are simply trading women as sexual currency to men as actual currency for which these men get absolutely no benefit.

Reproduction is at the core of our existence, we are programmed to want to do it. This 80 % of men aren't simply going to roll over and say "oh well, I guess I'll forgo sex and female attention".

Growth cannot continue forever. At some stage we will need to stabilise or reduce the population. I'm expecting that I'll be working until close to 70 and I think others should prepare for the same. If you're hoping for 35 years of retirement then you should have a lot of money put aside.

As for women, this is their own choosing. If you want to "have fun" with the most attractive men (looks, status, wealth) you can from 18 to 28 before you look for a partner then you shouldn't be surprised when the men who will settle down with you don't live up to the standards you're used to. There is only so many of these men and they're happy to oblige fun but commitment isn't so easy. There was a post yesterday showing how many young men are completely missing out on sexual interaction.

>The bigger issues are more societal and likely to worsen with roughly 2/3 of those in higher education being women, and over 70% of women unwilling to date/marry those of a lower social/education status, even with matching income.

Depends on your perspective. As a single man with his life together in his early 30's I'm finding life good. Is this societies problem or a problem for these women?

No worries, I feel it's important to talk about mental health issues. You never know what others are dealing with and sharing might make them see that things can get better.

I lost around 2.5 years to World of Warcraft, I'm talking 12-14 hours per day over that period. This is over a decade ago and my mum still talks about the wasted time and she hates the name of that game. She doesn't realise that without that escape I wasn't far off suicide. That addiction gave me enough time to sort out my life and figure things out. I'm in my 30's now and I truly love my life and I have for a number of years.

There is literally posts where someone made a profile with a really good looking man as the picture and he can say anything he wants. Take a look at this example: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=165905221&pa...

You make a regular guy say those things and his dating life would be dead quiet. If you want success with women you should do your best to become attractive.

For my dating age range (28-33) and location, it seems most women I meet through Tinder are after a connection. This is heavily filtered through my selections though. It might also be the case that's the front they show while having tons of hooks up behind the scenes. It's just a really convenient way to meet people.

I don't know why you're downvoted. When I was young (18-22) I had no luck with women. I think I literally went 3 years straight in that range without a sexual partner. I was on the verge of becoming an angry, resentful man. I discovered some precursor to The Red Pill and I took the self-improvement advice. I realised the fault wasn't with women, I was simply making life choices that made me unattractive. I lost weight, dressed better, etc.

I'm 33 now and in the last 2.5 years, I've slept with more women than I did from 16-30 despite the fact I work full time, study full time and am a single parent (i.e. I have very little time for dating). If I lost some more weight, spent more time dating and attempted to have casual sex I could probably sleep with 20+ women per year fairly easily. My facial features are at best average, likely below average but I am tall and muscular (10 years Army).

I'm actually arguing that some parts of being a good programmer are things you're born with and that other parts are hard work. I feel some people just understand programming more naturally and if you give that person experience and they work hard then you'll get an amazing programmer at the end.

I could never have been as good as Ronaldo. I could never have even been a professional soccer player, I'm simply not athletic enough.

Is Ronaldo 10x as likely to get a hat-trick to send his team forward in Champions League when they needed 3-0 to progress? He's not running 10x as far but he is so much better due to little things, such as being in the right spot at the right time.

Compare this to programming. A programmer who makes good decisions early on the project will likely save his company a lot of money down the line. A few poor decisions here will cost them a lot of money.

I just researched social security, it appears more like a pension plan. Our superannuation is entirely our money. When I reach retirement age then every cent I've paid (plus interest) is returned to me. If I run out of money I'm still eligible for the pension. I'm not entirely sure but I think my superannuation is more similar to a compulsory 401k.

People with low education levels can show you how to build all sorts of things that go bang. Someone with an engineering background could vastly improve on a lot of designs. If you could make a small, lightweight projectile weapon that can be 3d printed then you have what you need.

My background is an engineering role in the military and my current path is CS. I don't think it's unfeasible that an individual could build a crude drone that would kill a single person. Building an entire swarm of death robots is a different story.

It's ridiculous to compare by today's standards but what about a script kiddie in the year 2100? 2200? If it is truly beyond a single individual then what about a small rogue nation like North Korea?

Does the US not have a compulsory savings scheme? In Australia, we have superannuation which employers must pay and it goes into a fund that is invested. My scheme gives me approximately 17% and after around 12 years of my working life, I have a couple hundred thousand dollars in my account. By the time I retire, it's likely to be worth around 1.5 million in today's dollars. I also invest some of my own money.

All of those comes across far more formally than "guys", they remind me of a written order from a military officer (source: 10 years in the Army). For me "guys" seems far friendlier.

Why aren't they respecting your diversity and cultural language? I mean this in a serious way. There is a clash here between your cultural language and their views on gendered language and they immediately got offended by cultural differences and tried to impose their culture on your manager.

The best engineers are also going to have options. Cutting benefits is acting as a filter to remove your best staff...

Who will determine the odds of predictions?
