I apologize for implying you didn't understand the culture by asking if you have been there, I didn't mean that in any way.
In any case, alot of my family are middle class and can't find decent jobs. The competition is very high and programmers are a dime a dozen. Technically educated doesn't mean they enjoy it. Most consider it a job to get by. Some find it to be a passion. The ones who see it as a paycheck are far more likely to rip a site off and the culture is such that it doesn't seem wrong. "Someone else's problem."
Hmm, you ever been to India? Alot of developers there are forced into development by their families and don't get paid much while taking care of not only their immediate family but their retired father and his family. Granted what he did was wrong, I do understand this developer's plight. 10K people per square mile is alot of competition where good work is.
I agree. I buy local from the farmer's market and I buy raw and fresh, I have lost more weight just eating like a caveman than any fad diet has done for any of my co-workers or friends.
The following is ideal for me:
1. raw/fresh food
2. general fitness every day
3. intermittent fasting once or twice a week
Food has a lasting effect on the body, some of which science is yet to understand, I'll stick with what I can hunt and pick from the wild.
Who in their right mind has little kids near a protest? Saw what appeared to be a man wiping a little girl's eyes.
I don't condone violence on any level and I am all for protesting but I would leave the kids with someone I trust and somewhere safe (if that is at all possible).
If I get even an inkling unrest is occurring I would immediately get my daughter to safety (again, if that is at all possible).
I can definitely see how this could make people more sick, though I work in an open office and I rarely get sick, could be genetics or it could be that I eat food grown locally, work out and run every day and generally have alot of fun outside of work.
The human body NEEDS to get sick to build anti-bodies - without these then you will get sick more often. The American way of "Take antibiotics or medicine as soon as you get sick!" is one of the worst habits of my beloved American people (and fast food).
Google used to have a very subtle way of telling you that an NSL was issued against you by asking you to "re-accept" their ToS. This may or may not be true, though.
