Are you serious???

"With a growth mindset, every social interaction is an opportunity to improve. Saying something awkward is simply an indication that you need to put more effort into that area. It is not a sign of failure or a reflection of 'who I am'.

At no point does the OP ever suggest you try to "gamify" your interactions with people or "evaluate your performance". OP is simply suggesting that a person who self-perceives as awkward should instead reflect on circumstances in which they feel that way. OP suggests that one should separate their behavior/circumstances from their sense of self.

Did you want to be homeless? There are SO many people that do not have the opportunity or education or resources you do. And yet you choose their poverty. Why?

My father has been homeless at times. I'm not sure why anyone would CHOOSE that path. Having a home, even if that means a bed in a shared room, or a small sublet in an apartment, is pretty crucial to one's sense of well-being and safety.

It's hard for me to understand how someone can get productive work done when they don't have a comfortable, safe place to rest their mind for a few hours.

There are quite a few wonderful magnet schools for smart kids.

There's a) affordable (even wildly affordable) housing in NYC, though the commute can be around an hour into the city but then there's b) decent public transport and c) a good deal of jobs if you're in tech.

I'm from LA and didn't realize the unprotected left turn was anything unusual...

Let's keep it civil.

Even with hormone imbalance, I wonder what exactly Cahill eats day to day. I'd guess he's not eating satiating, nutritious, whole foods. I'm almost certain he'd be eating high-GI, insulin-spiking foods, which are driving his hormones further out of whack.

Serious cardio will burn a LOT of calories. If a person who is NOT doing serious cardio needs to exercise to a 3000 cal deficit every day to maintain weight, they should lower their caloric intake.

I use Instapaper. I haven't heard of Pocket. I like Instapaper's really minimal design, their "Instapaper Text" extension, and the ability to save and sort articles for later.

A bit of a party pooper :).

Are there any particular probiotics you'd recommend? I've heard many good things about General Biotics.

This article was much more focused than the "Slack, I'm breaking up with you" artucke posted to HN a few weeks ago: https://medium.com/better-people/slack-i-m-breaking-up-with-...

People move to specific neighborhoods for many, many reasons other than available train lines.

Is it common for salaries at Amazon to decrease?

How do you respond when they ask you for your salary information? Would it be perceuved as rude to say "I decline to state"?

Sounds suspiciously like you grew up.

For a beginner to react like me, this is INVALUABLE. Thanks :)

Agreed. The break-up analogy was ridiculously long-winded and overbearing. An exhausting read.

Oh wow!! This is so cool! Where was this tool when I was in high school ;)
