Welp, once you have kids you can tiger parent them if you want.

What does it even mean to “reverse autism”?

What I don't understand is why more mainstream theaters don't have "movie nights" or themed screenings or short films. The indie theater in my neighborhood makes great money by being "the cultural community" as you say. Why can't mainstream theaters adopt this mindset instead of relying on families to pay $100 for Transformers 8 and a bucket of popcorn?

That might be a concern for people on HN but very likely not for the population at large.

Once I had an Uber driver get me from manhattan to Williamsburg with no GPS and I was SHOCKED.

It's not like young people are praying to Kim Kardashian for a healthy crop season.

Young people have a lot more perspective these days. God is less necessary in a world where the answer to any question is only a Google search away.

That said -- just because young people don't claim religion is "very important" to them doesn't mean they don't have any sense of spirituality.

My god it gave me a headache. I'm sure a designer thought it was too cool to resist.

I love my Kindle. Frankly, I don't want or need games on it. What I DO want is a decent app to organize what I've read/what I want to read. The experimental browser is pretty terrible...

Therapy.

Anecdotally: plenty of sunlight, a vitamin D pill, enjoyable sex with your partner, frequent bouts of intense exercise, plenty of vegetables, few processed foods, a probiotic supplement, and healthy bowel movements 1-2 times a day.

I don't understand... Even when I'm starving, that's not going to make me buy boxes of strange items at the grocery store... Now, if I was at a buffet, that's a different story.

Because most grocery store items are pre-packaged or raw, they don't even register in my mind as consumable food until I put the work in to cook them.

Nyc can be cheap if you share an apartment with someone and live in any borough but manhattan.

Odd choice for a product store... Is it for illegal products??

You can definitely rent a room in an apartment in NYC for that much. It's probably not going to be very nice, you'll be far from the city, and you are subject to roommates.

This is highly compatible to mathematics education in the US, which is largely taught by uninspired teachers who don’t quite understand what they are teaching.

You’ve never met any pharmacists then?

How hard could it possibly be to click a "send rejection" button that triggers a plain-text email!?

The article really does ramble on and on. Just because it's a delicious, interesting story, doesn't mean it needs 2000 words of filler...

I have the dream where all my teeth fall out in my mouth, one by one, until they are filling my mouth and I'm so desperate to keep them inside my mouth that I start to choke on them...

These working people who can't find jobs are addicted to opiates or refuse to educate themselves. Dirt cheap illegal laborers slave over jobs a white American would never, ever do.

This solution is a bit over-engineered, don't you think?

Brilliant. This phrase is so loaded with passive-aggression and condescension.

The biggest danger in the kitchen is a dull knife.

This is quite the nitpick.

I've never seen that before, and it seems like an insult. If it's only free for a certain amount of time, it's not "totally free" AT ALL. Really rubs me the wrong way.

Americans never use the word "burgle". The first time I heard British people saying it, I wanted to cut my ears off.

Just because it's made in-house doesn't mean it's good.

The simple answer is that the enforcers of the law don't usually come from poor and minority communities.

The NYC MTA calls passengers "customers" which drives me insane. It's just.. inappropriate, even though technically subway riders are customers of the MTA.

This article is a sad reminder that the goopy atrocity that is PF Chang’s is the ONLY encounter swathes of Americans ever have with “Asian” food. What a shame.
