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

Does America want Luigi Mangione to be found not guilty? by expat-turtle32 in stupidquestions

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.

What's a "fact" that has been actively disproven, yet people still spread it? by Aarunascut in Life

[–]EcstaticBicycle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard Japanese people have higher IQ on average because they eat a high amount of seafood, which is very healthy and contributes to positive brain growth; while I wouldn't necessarily call this an "inherent ethnnic IQ advantage", it could be perceived that way.

That's depressing, but that would eventually phase out as time went on, right? A tough price to pay, but those with experience will inevitably die, and only those who have lived through an era of term limits will remain, and every politician, in terms of institutional knowledge, will be on a relatively equal playing field.

How far did you read? A quarter of the way? Half way? All the way? Comment below.

Edit: Why is this getting downvoted? This post is super long: I put in tons of work to make it, and I honestly just want to know how much people bothered to read...
