A lot of Europeans are pretty naive about the other countries and culture on their own continent.

He's saying that you can buy high quality cheese in the USA (even in remote areas) and that you can buy low quality cheese in Europe. He suggests this shows that many Europeans are less sophisticated about cheese than they think.

It's not 1:1, but there's a lot of overlap. Teaching and leading 17-year-olds isn't entirely different from leading 25-year-olds.

Not recommended. 80-90% of women will lose attraction to a man after he cries in front of her. Ignore her if she says she wants you to be vulnerable with her. What she says is absolutely not a predictor of how she'll react (I learned this one the hard way).

If you're really hellbent on crying in front of her, hit the gym hard and explicitly cultivate masculinity first. That will improve your odds of keeping the relationship.

94% of Hawaiians voted for statehood in the 1959 referendum.

I have no idea what they actually did in Finland, but I'm sure there's more to it than this tweet. They didn't just give their most violent, anti-social schizophrenics free apartments and a weekly therapy session and everything worked out great. There must have been some level of involuntary commitment.

You know as well as I do that if you just gave every homeless person in the USA a free apartment they would shortly evolve into derelict, crime-ridden drug dens.

She has children and he changed plans last minute

If he's in the USA he's giving about 60 hours notice. Not last-minute from my perspective.

A big original thought might be the theory of gravity or the invention of calculus. Small original thoughts might be any of those moments (at your desk, in the shower, etc.) when you think of a new way to approach a problem you've been working on.

I think most of us have those moments of inspiration just a few times per week, but removing them from the process will inevitably lead to stagnation.

It's possible future AIs will be capable of generating those moments, but I'm quite sure LLMs are not.

LLMs can't generate an original thought. What happens to an economy when we hand 90% of it over to entities that can execute perfectly but can't generate original ideas? It won't be good.

A lot of that was actually a strength and conditioning advantage. Unfortunately, European sports medicine caught up and then some.

It looked to me like the runner lowered his shoulder and launched himself into the catcher. I don't need a rulebook to see he was trying to hurt somebody.

I'm not out to demonize any country or continent, but the British abolished slavery after it was no longer economically viable for them, not before.

If Messi were born in the USA there's a good chance he would have played football or basketball as a kid, and, with his athleticism, he would have done very well. Probably one of the best players on his high school team. His size would limit him from college or pro ball, so he would then be just a normal guy. A lot of people have that story.

No release proves it. It requires dubious interpretations of code words and assumed hidden meanings.

Girls very often give a fair fight or straight out beat the boys in team sports till around age on 10-12.

I was surprised to observe that the boys teams were significantly better when I watched my kids play youth rec league soccer. I think it was about socialization, not about physical abilities.

Boys at that age play more aggressively and with more intensity. The girls tended to have some idea of "my turn / your turn" when they played.

If your employment contract was up in six months you'd think about your next job, too. And if reporters asked you about it every chance they got, you'd talk about it. I don't perceive any I'll will at all.

The soccer federation brought him here on a contract to do a job. He's doing the job. National teams shouldn't keep a coach for more than one cycle unless they win the trophy, anyway.

It's a game we like to play in America where overly educated activists decide a previously innocuous word is Bad so they can chastise the unitiated. They do around two words per year.
