The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I don't believe the tension on this board is a particularly difficult problem to solve.

However, I would like to first address the presence of reverse snobbism on this board. Personally, I was born into the upper middle class, and I don't believe I have anything to apologize for. My wife, on the other hand, was born into the lower middle class, and I have never looked down on her for that. So, ultimately, what significance does it hold regarding the class Jim was born into? What strikes me as ironic is that many individuals here, who take pride in having been born into poverty and achieving success, have children who were born into the upper middle class. Should your kids apologize for being born into the upper middle class?

I must admit that I spend too much time on Facebook. Occasionally, I come across women who seem to have a personal vendetta against me and attack me without reason. Please note that I am not making generalizations about all women, but simply stating that the individuals who have targeted me happen to be women. In response, I choose not to engage with them and instead block them, ensuring that they can no longer see me and vice versa.

While I have not come across a blocking function on this board, implementing such a feature would effectively resolve this issue. If someone were to irrationally attack another member, they could simply be blocked. Problem solved. I can't imagine implementing such a feature would be a challenging task.
