I don't think that raising kids was ever easy.

I put a tl;dr sentence or two at the top of any e-mail more than a couple of paragraphs. Sometimes for those too.

I run my own email and I have to say I wouldn't recommend it.

The biggest hassle is dealing with either Spamhaus or Microsoft, who apparently at random decide to put my IPs on blacklist, and who provide hurdles to working around this (for Spamhaus) or just say "no" (for Microsoft).

I think because for most Americans their home is their single largest asset - usually their only one with any resale value. So they jealousy guard against anything that might reduce the value, like a neighbor who does anything out of the blandest, most ordinary things.

A podcaster who used to make a podcast called Common Sense stopped because he felt he had said everything he believed and there wasn't any point in making new shows.

He did one recently which basically said "well it happened just like I expected, but I didn't expect it would be so sudden".

(At least, that's what I took from it....)

Yeah I took the train from Chicago to Springfield, and was shocked that I had to go through security and also present the same credit card that I used to buy the ticket. In Europe I literally just get on the train most times...

A huge portion of the Netherlands works part time by choice. So, yes, many people voluntarily waive parts of their salary.

Yeah I found a page explaining how to make perfect popcorn like 10 years ago and it's pretty easy.

I'd take that power.
