Halloween update was really just so good

I enjoyed Minecraft with less RPG mechanics overall


you're correct. My taiwan colleagues visit HK, they request "no cantonese please"


You've been reiterating this across a few threads this month, right?

Perhaps it IS the widespread case that a lot of us are getting paid as SRE for much less than you believe an SRE should know. Ultimately, where you've set the bar is arbitrary


Young men have already picked up on this trend. This is why college attendance is now 60-40 female-male


It’s not because girls have higher grades and test scores (which they do)?


Yeah, I don't think men are suddenly having a hard time getting into state colleges.


Higher test scores? On which tests?


My mistake here — they do have higher scores on verbal, but on math they lag boys. However, girls with high math scores tend to have higher verbal scores than boys, which makes them more well-rounded and attractive to colleges.


>Should it be expected or disheartening that proportionally 45% more males are in the 1400-1600 score range than females?

I don't think that's true either


Imagine thinking there's HCOL and then..."nowheretown"


Big city folk be like…


You had a massive, untested assumption about life which ended up wrong.

At least you got the family part


yeah...and what this woman "just wants" has mostly been a disaster for society


You don't need to remember it for the events to be significant. I'm pretty sure kids have psychological/development needs as young as 4.

The kids will have $, but there's way more to being raised than your wealth resources. Is there a mass ignorance of this on HN? Yay for having more potential (affluent) sociopaths released on the world I guess?

It's gross to me.


The attitude on this here is pretty astounding to me. Do any of these people have children or know any? I'd wager to guess that most of the "these kids will be fine" responses are coming from people that don't - or if they do have kids, um, yikes. Thinking that the conditions of the first 10 years of someone's life doesn't have any impact on them is utterly bizarre. Her second child will likely be born in prison. Of course no one remembers their birth but I'd venture to guess overall that the outcomes of someone being born in prison are likely less positive than someone not. These kids don't have a great start on life.

+1 for your other point here - great, so now we have the next crop of wealthy and potentially powerful people who will likely have some issues because of these conditions. Just what the world needs more of.


As someone raised by parents with mental problems, I also share your disgust here.

The children here having resources helps, but having a mom + dad is important and there's pretty much no way around that.

It being her "last chance" doesn't excuse the behavior.


First, I’m truly sorry for that.

Participation on this thread has been interesting - you’re the first person I’ve seen to also share your own experience with how this will impact these children.

We’re disgusted because we know.


I think all the toronto complaints are fair
