    Adoption costs and fees

    The conventional way of making children doesn't come with guarantees but also doesn't involve spending tens of thousands of dollars in fees only to still not get the baby at the end of it all. It's perhaps more akin to spending a fortune on something like IVF hoping it will work out.

    Social security and retirement

    A fundamental problem is demographics. Back in the days when couples typically had at least two children, when a working person would work from age 16 or 18 until 65 and then probably die by the time they were 70-75, the economics of 40+ years of work funding 10 years of retirement worked. When...

    The limits of free speech

    This is a tricky one. One argument is that they are private companies and can make their own rules. The other is that since they have effectively become the modern equivalent of "the public square" that they should be treated differently. It's hard to see how they can claim to be a passive...

    Social security and retirement

    I think this is a more appropriate question. I suspect the answer is a resounding no.

    Adoption costs and fees

    Adopting an infant can be cripplingly expensive with few if any guarantees. Adopting a child from foster care is much cheaper, but comes with many unknowns. As with most other things, if you want something and can't afford it you can either look to increase your income to cover it or host...

    Step aside when someone takes a photo?

    I'll usually at least try to give someone a fair chance to take a picture. What counts as "fair chance" depends on the situation.

    CH News - Hosting had issues

    I saw the "account suspended" message for a day or so. Is this a problem specific to the hosting company? I've never seen the problem with any other site.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Yesterday's suggested workout was 45 minutes at a base pace. Today for some reason it was 51 minutes at a base pace. Base runs are pretty easy, I just need to remember to ease off going up the hills. Today I forgot myself, maintained pace up one of the steeper hills, and pushed my pulse way out...

    Is reincarnation real?

    I don't imagine you'll have many takers on a Christian message board.

    Religious beliefs

    It depends on what counts as a "religious belief" I guess. If a religion believes in multiple gods I suppose in theory someone could mix and match. One might not believe in any gods but say an occasional prayer to one or more deities as an insurance policy of sorts. Where beliefs relate to...

    Do you think the DOJ is corrupt?

    It's a government entity so, probably.

    Posting Pics Of Children

    Personally I'm inclined to think that family pictures are more or less harmless. Yes, there's always a chance the wrong person will see them but there's always a chance the wrong person will see your kids in real life and harm them. I'm amazed at just how much person information some people...

    If someone treated you to dinner at a fine French restaurant,

    It would depend on the circumstance, but I'd choose something I wanted to eat rather than simply picking an expensive dish because I could.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Speed repeats today. As usual I ignored my watch's suggested intervals because they are too easy, and did 10k of my own sprint/speed repeats. They were sprint repeats at first but as the distance increased so the speed of the intervals went down somewhat. It turned out to be the hardest workout...

    A garage attached to your home

    Yes, people leave their $50,000 car on the driveway so they can fill their garage with $500 worth of junk.

    Internet forums/communities

    I suspect to a large extent the problem is when people are taught what to think rather than how to think. When people are taught how to think it's easier for them to process the concept of taking the same inputs and drawing a different conclusion, and thereby having at least some respect for...

    Can morality exist without religion?

    That really depends on what counts as "morality" and what counts as "religion". It's perfectly possible to adopt a personal moral code without believing in any deities that impose that code. It's just that it becomes very hard to determine any absolute moral codes without reference to some kind...

    I have ordered a new MiniPC

    Linux is too much hassle for me to change everything, it's easy enough to just keep using it with a DVI cable. Windows didn't look for a driver for it so I don't know whether that means there isn't one, or it's just so old I'd need to hunt it down myself. Since I can't even remember the model...

    It's easy to be brave from behind the facade of a mostly anonymous internet handle. (Says he, from behind the facade of a mostly anonymous internet handle...) In fairness, when all that exists is words without any body language, tonal inflexions, facial expressions etc sometimes rudeness can...

    A garage attached to your home

    Many listings I've seen indicate living space above ground and living space below ground, so they differentiate between finished and unfinished basement space, while also indicating how much living space is below ground. I guess even with required windows/escape routes it's not likely to be very...
