    The workforce is equalizing!

    Regarding the gender pay gap: That's another thing that should be narrowed and then hopefully closed with more women than men obtaining college degrees and more women holding higher level management and "C-Level" positions. There shouldn't be a gender pay gap for example in any company or...

    The workforce is equalizing!

    The workforce is definitely equalizing as far more women are working full time jobs of all different types than even ten years ago. My understanding is that there are also more women in college now than men. More women coming out of college with degrees than men. That most definitely means...

    AI and robotics are coming. Which jobs will be in high demand? Which jobs are at risk?

    That would be a good idea. The same I'm betting will hold true for art and media. Once TV, movies and music is dominantly made by AI, I think there will be a big trend toward enjoying previously human created art and media. "The classics". I think there will definitely be a certain...

    AI and robotics are coming. Which jobs will be in high demand? Which jobs are at risk?

    I just read something today that U.S. companies are adopting AI for entry level office/professional related work (e.g. phone support, customer service, etc) and as a result, they're NOT hiring young graduates wanting to enter the labor market. Here's my question: Young workers end up...

    New app telling which men to avoid

    What I guess I don't understand about the app is that it seems to have been designed for women to post personal information about men without their consent, various levels of doxing. Isn't that what the female users of the app are upset about happening to them? Also, would an app created...

    New app telling which men to avoid

    No question that there are cultures still to this day that do not have enforced monogamy as their basic structure. Various forms of tribalism come to mind where the leader of the tribe has a harem, etc. I also agree that cultures that practiced more primitive lifestyles were able to subsist...

    New app telling which men to avoid

    Polygamy and non-monogamy are the human "normals" in so far as both emulate the same behaviors in our other primate relatives. "Enforced monogamy" is something that was brought about by marriage (ie religion) and has been the indisputable impetus for our species advancing to the level it has.

    New app telling which men to avoid

    I think the idea of an app for women to alert other women not to date "bad boys" would be interesting to see how effective it would be. Apparently dating apps have resulted in a small percentage of men being pursued by a large percentage of women. It's presumed that in many of those cases the...

    Am I An Aspie?

    Hello. I'm speaking from personal experience. My "journey" of autistic discovery started like yours. The question, "Am I autistic?" is a perennial subject on autism forums from people who start their "journey". Often in the journey, just like it seems in your case (and mine), it progresses...

    Why Men Are Walking Away From Dating

    This is an interesting and related point. While a declining birthrate can be attributed at least in part to fewer people getting married or living in committed long term monogamous relationships, it also must be attributed to how radically society has changed in the developed world since before...

    Is there such a thing as an UNREASONABLE accommodation?

    ^ I've felt the same way in my working career of 40+ years now. I've never wanted my job to be my family or be as integral in my life as my family, free time, etc. I work to get paid and then I try to live my life the way I want to live it. In the U.S., the corporate world has made...

    Why Men Are Walking Away From Dating

    I watch the rapid changes that have occurred in male-female interpersonal dynamics, from the sidelines. I don't think we're in new territory here, I think we're reverting back to our primate behavior and in the process, upending many centuries of human societal progression. Points of fact that...

    Non-Prescription Options You've Found Helpful

    Yes, it has a level of efficacy that can be noticed. You can make your own tincture by pulverizing the dried root and soaking it in a neutral grain alcohol (spirit) and then filtering that out into a dropper bottle. Many people find the smell of Valarian Root similar to smelly feet. There's a...

    Experience with cannabis or magic mushrooms?

    I think it's entirely possible that psychedelics used in a true "micro-dose" scenario where a person takes so little they don't feel any "trippy" effects at all might have medical efficacy. However, in my opinion and in my own experiences, recreational use of psychedelics is most often a...

    Medical Marijuana

    For those who are not in the U.S. and/or are not familar with U.S. laws related to cannabis, there are federal laws that are supposed to apply to all 50 states. On the Federal level at present time, cannabis is still considered illegal for any reason including medicinally. However, to date 39...
