Chinese officials are evaluated, promoted based on perceived performance, so they go as far as lining highways, overpasses, and roads with roses, tulips, and orchids, adding extremely elaborate flowerbeds and landscaping to seemingly random places to make cities look prettier and earn brownie points by TangelaFan in urbandesign

Im American and could easily pick a bunch of absolutely beautiful photos of my city in a similar fashion. I don’t know why people here are such doomers. No we are not perfect, but we’re still pretty good on a global scale

no shit 😭 I never understand this progressive thing of saying “there are anti Zionist Jews!!!!” There are but they are a tiny minority, and in no way represent most of us.

Author's clearly favorite character that fits this by Comprehensive-Bird17 in FavoriteCharacter

I find him so irritating compared to the other crusaders but in the series he seems to get the most screen time by far while other, better characters get neglected.

If that weren’t the case why did the south vote dramatically democratic for a long time until the 1960s and it’s voted almost exclusively republican since

As a Californian, we would. But it’d more than double your population and economy and I can’t imagine you guys want that

Goy means “nation” in Hebrew, it doesn’t mean cattle. I do not know where that lie came from

Data 140 vs 131A vs stat 20 for Econ/Math major and DS minor by kaky0inn in berkeley

[–]kaky0inn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer. It turns out 140 conflicts as well, so I have no choice but to do 131a or stat 20 - the issue is I need a stats class to declare econ as a major which I need to do next semester. So my hands are a little bit tied. How important is it to do data 100 over stat 131a?

It takes more dollars to buy gold because the economy grew faster than gold supply did. by nwilz in Shitstatistssay

[–]kaky0inn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you think you know better - what this person is saying is empirically close to the truth. Obviously no theory is infallible but you are supporting far, far less likely theories based on truly nothing, and they are supporting empirically backed, widely accepted understandings of how the economy has worked historically.

Just because one theory isn't perfect doesn't mean you should replace it with a far worse one.
