Fantastic! Should add an (optional) instruction level, but would have loved this game as a kid.

What’s there to admire? This is common sense and he should have set these expectations from the start. why are people discussing politics at work?

I’ve never worked in the Bay Area, so could just be OOL but I’m genuinely surprised that this is such a big deal, or that this blog post got so much praise.

Never discussed politics at any of the companies I’ve worked for, we were always too busy with...work!

it's becoming more and more clear. self driving technology will only put more 2000 lb machines on highways clogging up space. USA NEEDS TRAINS!

'Getting around the city' culture is just different here in LA. There's folks in NYC who make half million a year and take the subway several times a day.

In LA, someone making 35K a year is thinking no way I'm not taking public transport, I'm driving!

there's no question people on this list have accomplished cool things. but it's lame that people are gaming their way into it, degrades the award imo

Definitely notice that the best hospitals in the nation invest in the look and feel of their hallways with art and positive colors!

living in LA without a car is the biggest lifestyle hack I've ever done. Best of all worlds.

people don't know this but LA is surprisingly fine without a car if you live in the right areas.

There are many people who live in west hollywood, downtown, santa monica who don't have cars! lyft/uber are also relatively cheap here.

soy has been demonized by the weightlifting/masculine community, but there's no estrogen in soy, just trace amounts of phytoestrogen.

hammer on nail. I don't know why the demand for diversity in consumer & people oriented businesses upsets so many people.

It's simply good strategy to hire a diverse workforce so your products/services can spread to all types of markets.

it took me like 6-7 months to go vegan, it was hard for me to give up omelettes and cheese. but one day, I woke up and just didn't want to eat it anymore.

Start to have vegan meals once a day. then 3x a week. slowly your taste buds change and then you don't want it anymore

there's nut milks and faux leather. nearly everything has a plant-based alternative and if something doesn't, it will have one soon.
