This is a very narrow view that assumes the man's partner is not contributing.

Of course people think this way. It's foolish not to, especially when couples can commit to each other in so many ways other than legal marriage. I'm shocked there's someone on hacker news who doesn't.

Who "relies" on cross-posted tweets?

Because Facebook can do whatever it wants??

Are you married? I really hope your wife never experiences fertility issues. Fertility is much more complicated than data points.

This is extremely harsh and your complete ignorance tells me you are not a woman.

Fertility in some women declines as early as 28. Most women do not talk publicly about how difficult it is to conceive, because people like you think they should have it easy at age 27-30. Guess what? It can get really hard as soon as you're in your late twenties.

It's very difficult to get financial aid when you are a part-time student. I don't know where you live, but in the US university education is absurdly expensive.

That kind of fundamental cultural shift might require moving to a new planet. There is simply no way we will be able to achieve this, and ESPECIALLY not in the US.

I am a 27 year-old woman and I am getting to the point where I will have to choose between my career (in tech, all-male team) and having a child.

My partner and I both want children. We are not yet married and we do not yet have a house. Despite this, I really can't wait too much longer to get pregnant, or else risk fertility issues. And yet, the moment I get pregnant, my job is at risk (even though legally it shouldn't be)

Men really have no idea what it is like to have this struggle. I am both afraid for the career I will undoubtedly lose or the child I might struggle to conceive if I wait much longer. :(

Nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol are all mind-altering drugs. It's just society has called those drugs ok.

Is this sarcasm? I sure hope so...

But do you smoke very day? Do you look forward to pot more than anything else? If not, then good for you! Like alcohol, some people take weed to extremes, and others are able to drink one glass every now and again without going overboard.

If I had zero obligations or goals in life, I would smoke pot all day every day.

But since, like OP, it makes me want to sit at home and do nothing (not inherently a bad thing), it impedes my goals of producing creative work.

There is a fine line, I think, between people who can smoke pot responsibly (every few days or only once a week) and people who cannot go a single day (or even a few hours) without smoking.

Any daily pot-smoker will tell you that their short-term memory declines after a few weeks of daily/hourly use. It's extremely well known, though perhaps not well documented.

People only know what they have experienced. You have to just forgive.

Several of my colleagues find buffalo wing sauce to be unbearably spicy...

Most white people in the US aren’t as adventurous as those on HN.

That is exactly what I am saying. There is nothing inherently wrong about selling sex. It only becomes wrong when a woman (or man, or child) is forced into sex work.

I hope you're ok. It's rough out there with a broken heart :(

That's not sexist at all. She can look however she wants. Every man who clicks on her account has the power to not give her his money. It's not like all men are helpless slugs who immediately exude dollars when they see a mound of breasts (though a shocking number behave this way).

It does seem particularly depressing.

I will never understand why some people will watch a streamer with a bit of cleavage showing and be offended that she is in a relationship.

Just because one sees boobs does not mean they belong to you!!!

I've never had worse waiters than in Croatia. It's as if the servers hate the very plates they are holding. Or maybe they were all just badly hungover? The only good servers were in very small restaurants with a limited number of staff.

What are you even rambling on about?

Perhaps, yes :)

He told her to her face she wasn’t his daughter. He was an awful person to her.

Jobs was stunningly cruel to his daughter.

Allergic to.

Is whining not something we all learn in childhood, but the great majority of us grow out of?

Frankly, I don't find the handwriting of Famous People any more interesting than the handwriting of the Non-Famous.
