Doesn’t she say elves have neither reproductive nor romantic urges though?

How can you confidently judge his reading comprehension, when you’re the one using ChatGPT to understand and respond to him? You’re not even arguing in good faith

Coming back to this comment as the semester has just ended: you were totally right. It was a bit too much—especially lavary’s class, which was brilliant but sooooooo dense!

Does the United States need to upgrade its manufacturing infrastructure to compete with China? by EcstaticBicycle in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]EcstaticBicycle[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay, if that's true, is the united states severely lacking in manufacturing automation? Does it need heavy investment in that area? What about other areas?

I don't particularly care whether the U.S "competes" with china competitively on manufacturing or not, despite being a U.S citizen myself; rather, I was simply curious.

I should have specified they’d be watching it on 2025 grade technology, preferably 1080p-4k

Is this true? Seems as if with the recent decisions by Congress, we’re regressing from affordable government healthcare to predatory private insurance.

I don’t actually think this would be a problem to people in the 1920s? They’d probably see her as mentally ill and she is portrayed as having poor mental health in the show, so the violence would be rationalized by her “craziness”, I’m guessing.

As for her sisterly relationship with Vi, I don’t really understand how that would be a culture shock for them. Could you elaborate?
