I don't think you can confidently state that there's no evidence that other banks are at risk. This was caused by increased borrowing rates, and the Fed has given a lot of indication that they'll increase those rates further to stall inflation. That can cause other banks to fail.

The risk is not 0% even if it's low.

Why do you choose to associate yourselves with an organization that is far removed from its actual claimed intent? PETA kills upwards of 90% of all animals it 'rescues': https://newsfeed.time.com/2013/04/09/peta-takes-heat-over-claims-it-killed-90-of-animals-dropped-off-at-virginia-shelter/

Do you think it's OK that PETA members dressed up in KKK robes to protest the Westminister Kennel Club Dog Show?

Are you concerned with the garbage disinformation that PETA spread regarding milk causing Autism?

Do you stand by PETA's criticism of Steve Irwin?

Do you maintain that meat consumption is a form of toxic masculinity?

Do you maintain that people should not have pets?

Are you concerned about the lies PETA spread about sheep shearing?

Why not work for a more reputable animal rights organization? There are plenty here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animal_rights_groups

I'm not entirely sure you answered the question. We understand corporate responsibility vs. Individual responsibility. The question wasn't about the division of that responsibility (and ultimately I disagree with your conclusion on this. Personal responsibility is limited by knowledge and personal agency, and those of lower education or inclinations towards addictive tendencies may find it excessively difficult to curb social media addiction).

The question was about how you justified marketing a harmful product.

Perhaps you believed your actions themselves did not contribute to the harmful aspects of the product or that your responsibility (inability to change the negative aspects or influence on the cause) are significantly low.

In either event, I don't believe this was really answered.

I have tried and failed to find substantial research as to what books are good at what ages for children. I have a one year old and will soon have another. Any advice? Most of the books I see are just ads by sites just pushing for clicks and referral revenue.

There are a lot of studies indicating that the mere presence of plenty of books in the home contribute to increased reading abilities and interest in reading. Any advice regarding the migration to e-readers?

There was a study by Pew Research indicating that interest in reading starts to taper off at 9. Any recommendations to help prevent that?

There was another study done showing that parents stop reading to kids once their kids start to learn to read on their own. Are there substantial benefits regarding continuing the practice after the kid learns to read on their own?

Are you aware of other organizations similar to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (For those who have kids, I highly recommend).

EDIT: Also recommend the Open Dyslexic Font https://opendyslexic.org/ for those struggling or know someone struggling with Dyslexia.

That's one aspect that seems striking that you touched on. The market is definitely hot with inflation, causing a lot of uncertainty, but the layoffs just do not make sense and appear to be a large overreaction that doesn't match the market.

I saw this article by Insider the other day, I am curious if you would concur with what Recruiters are saying: https://www.businessinsider.com/tech-company-layoffs-pay-salary-cuts-remote-work-recruiter-power-2023-2

Are you seeing the negative effects of these layoffs as outlined by the Harvard Business Review? https://hbr.org/podcast/2023/02/why-many-companies-get-layoffs-wrong

How are businesses shifting their tech strategies long term? I see a lot of discussion about pulling back on their migrations to the cloud. I am concerned that this will result in increasingly aged hardware and software and a lack of High Availability in major critical infrastructure. Would you agree with those concerns, or are there other aspects along these veins that you think would be good to know?

Thank you for your response. At the end of the day I hope you make sure to take care of yourself. As I get older I become increasingly pacifistic, but I still recognize that some people simply do not have a choice.

War can bring out the worst in people. People that would have otherwise been amicable become enemies because of their nationality. And the generational PTSD and animosity takes a long time to heal from.

This poem still gets me.

Do you think you've developed any mental health problems as a result of reporting on war?

Has there been discussion in the industry regarding maintaining mental health when faced with PTSD inducing tragedies?

Has your reporting on war affected the way you read about other wars or consume war related media like movies?

Do you have any idea the physical toll, that three vasectomies have on a person?

Serious note:

  1. In your experience, is there any significant misinformation as it pertains to vasectomies that you would like to clear up?

  2. Are there substantial health benefits to vasectomies beyond birth control? Risks?

  3. Do you notice a pervasive gender inequality as it pertains to contraceptive decision making and medical research?

First, let me say, thank you for taking the time to do this AMA. It's highly informative and insightful.

I asked questions pertaining to DID as I know someone with DID that I'm close to. Their therapist has discussed IFS to help frame my understanding of DID (I was requested to be a part of one of their sessions so that I understood DID better) and has used IFS (although how much, I am unsure) to help their patient.

I have also read "The Body Keeps Score" to better understand therapy and mental health and it's been transformative to understand how trauma plays out for people.

One more question if you don't mind. After reading the Body Keeps Score, I am struck by the fact that a lot of new therapeutic practices are integrating the entire body in recovery. Has there been any research or practices regarding integrating the body into IFS therapy, like mindfulness, yoga, art, etc?

Hello Lucille Aaron-Wayne,

I have a few questions.

  1. How do you ensure that people do not retraumatize themselves while doing solo therapy? Or are you simply teaching people how to use IFS outside of a therapy paradigm and as a cognitive tool?
  2. Have you worked with anyone who has Dissociative Identity Disorder? What were the unique challenges associated with teaching IFS to someone with DID? Are you of the philosophy that DID patients should seek reintegration? I know therapists sometimes disagree on the reintegration component.
  3. Unrelated to IFS, can you speak to the increased mental health crisis that is typically linked to social media platforms like Instagram and Tiktok?

Thank you for your candidness.

I spend a lot of time tracking white supremacists and the first thing I saw was the ape skull and it sent alarm bells off in my head.

When I found the profile photo I was extra concerned.

That being said, the fact that you have unequivocally rejected bigotry is comforting. I would just be cautious in the future. When using iconography that's often associated with racist phrenology, you might want to address it beforehand.

I'll remove my comments to ensure you aren't harassed.

This is a good little project.

I'd challenge you to reconsider open source, especially as your first project. You don't know what you don't know, and if you have others helping, it can vastly improve your learning and your ability to collaborate with others. Open Source gaming is a vastly untapped market and most people would still be willing to work down $5.

Take for example lichess.org. I give them money monthly. Many chess players do. It's definitely a viable option.
