  • Over the years I think I care less about some public apology or statement to accept that a creator has moved past old behavior (I assume you’re talking about the bridge, I don’t really follow PewDiePie).

    We see too many fake apologies and if it’s been some time, apologizing just gives an opportunity for viewers to dogpile when someone is trying to move past something.

    I think if it’s been a few years and he’s clearly shown to have grown past it, that’s enough for me. You never really know what a content creator’s private beliefs are just how they choose to use their public persona.


  • It’s a case of “we do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they would be easy”

    The admin wants to be these lofty world changing leaders and refuse to listen to people who tell them things are more complicated than they are. They don’t read about other countries or governments outside of their own propaganda so they are really that dumb and flying blind.


  • As an NYC resident, cars will move over if there’s space, but there’s so much congestion that you physically can’t move, there’s no shoulder or anything.

    And there’s also idiots who are fighting congestion pricing that helps with these kinds of problems by reducing the number of cars on the road. You can’t widen these roads without getting rid of sidewalks which just means even more cars and traffic so the only option is reduce the number of cars.















  • Depends on your situation and objective. If you’re currently employed and want to increase potential earnings in the same track, then probably around 30/35 from my personal judgement. You should really have enough professional experience and context at that point to make up for a degree, especially if you’re engaging in continuing education, staying up to date on professional articles, watching conference talks, etc.

    If you’re looking to get an MBA to move into a management track, it’s probably worth it later in life until like your 40s and 50s earnings wise.

    If your current industry is tanking and you need to pivot to a new one, then you don’t really have any other options than to reskill no matter how old you are.

    If you just want to learn philosophy or history independent of your work, then there’s not really a point where it’s too late, just how many classes you have time for which is wholly dependent on your life circumstances and doesn’t depend on age.
