I hate that people treat the US like a country. It's bad for statistics.

The cost of living in New Jersey is 50% higher than Alabama, for example, using the site you linked. Averages across the US are near meaningless.

Since I'm talking about tech jobs, we should compare to states with lots of tech jobs, and we might get a better comparison.

You can't just look at the exchange rate. You have to look at cost and standard of living.

Someone in the US making 100k is not doing as well as someone in France making 70k€

You can't at all compare unless you reference cost and standard of living. I've managed and hired people in multiple countries. It's not as simple as salary X exchange rate.

Still not getting it I think.

Why would someone choose a more stressful job for the same pay?

This does not imply a lack of more stressful jobs that pay less. Obviously every idiot would take an easier job that pays more if they could.

Oh, and don't forget about this one!

I didn't forget. I chose to ignore it because it makes you look tacky and I'm being polite. But if you insist on pressing the point, there you go.

"A social construct is an idea, category, or framework that gains meaning through collective agreement within a society"

The racial lines of division are arbitrary and different in each society. Therefore, a social construct.

Remember, it wasn't THAT long ago that Italians weren't considered white. Now they are.

You're missing the point. There are easier jobs in the same industry for the same pay.

We're not comparing tech CEO to roofers. We're comparing them to other people in tech.

A Senior Developer in any major city makes that amount of money.

170k for running a company? Shit. I wouldn't do that. You can make just as much being a halfway competent developer, and it's way less stress.

You're right. We should fire the bad protestors.

"high value men" are ones who are held to some arbitrary macho standard, a big part of which is appearance. Big trucks are a part of it.

It says he's a person with money who likes convenience.

I don't know. That photo is chilling

That sounds like pop psychology. Correlation vs causation.

It's like saying being selfish is in our genes. And no, it's a learned trait. Just like the need to jockey for status. It's NOT natural. You've been programmed.

And I swear to god if you say the phrase "high value men" I'm going to laugh until I lose consciousness.

they do it to signal status.

The need to signal status stems from insecurity, which can sometimes stem from a tiny stem.

Which is the fault of a culture that defined big dicks as good things. Most women do not care, and would pick smaller over painfully large.

For those who don't get the reference. Nun farts are very quiet because of all the butt sex loosening them up. It also keeps the priests away from the kids. It's a win win all around.

Time to start putting ads in.

I'm sorry. I've had gut reactions before. Normal humans will swat or punch things.

It takes thought to grab it by the legs, and slap it on a wall.

But yeah, if it was just some unconscious reaction, then whatever. But in that case, I'm curious why a fuckin ninja is among the regular population.

If his day is ruined by losing a bit of food, he needs to find someone to talk to about mental health. No one should be that close to the edge of violent response.

If you have no empathy for animals just trying to do their thing, that is a good indicator that you'll lack empathy for people as well.

B) violence against bad people is sometimes necessary to stop them from hurting others. But it's not "good". If you could put all fascists in jail in a single moment with no violence, that act isn't made better by adding violence. Therefore it's not a good.
