Very good point! I just wanted to point out the stupidity of even remotely implying other countries don’t try to tackle this issue in MUCH better ways.

I’d even argue that shutting down speech is specifically not “trying to solve” it. At all. It’s literally deciding to not talk about it. Few problems get better when they cannot even be freely discussed…

In addition to what others have said, other countries HAVE tried things, and they do work. Things like the child tax credit and direct subsidies bump things in the right direction. Imagine if they required pay to keep up with inflation and actually required companies provide adequate maternity and paternity leave…

Depends on the context, IMO. If making a stupid sex joke is the best she’ll contribute to the world, Hawk Tuah girl it is.

All they have is their IP, which they keep shitting on. The unique Ubisoft “innovations” are a shittier launcher and removing games from people who paid for them if they don’t play.

Nobody should want to buy that shitshow except to gut it for IP.

But… teeth don’t change arrangement as you age. Straight teeth are straight teeth unless rare complications happen like you have a lot of wisdom teeth and they shove the other teeth out of alignment.

Average age is not average for those that reached adulthood. Most adults still lived to decent ages unless you select for very dire situations, like the Black Plague, or specific outbreaks of violence, etc.

Trawling for their research!? What terrible biologists… Study an ecosystem by destroying it. Genius…

I mean, lasik comes with issues down the road if you go for the cheaper procedures, and even the good ones if you have complications.

If the question is money, adding risk is often not the wisest of decisions…

Depends. Not even many stone buildings last many centuries. Wooden structures tend to be much less, and humanity has seen many stone structures slowly turn uninhabitable.

Besides, in space, there is much, MUCH more space. There is only a little need to fight over orbital space, let alone literal adjacent space. We don’t need to rennovate the ISS to reclaim ideal space.

Whether or not you know about them, there are also several plans ongoing for replacing the ISS, too, so your inability to grasp this is… kinda’ weird.

Bio contamination is my guess. Even the ISS is getting quite a few gross spots that are becoming mini ecosystems. Of course the experiments are on purpose, but there is a lot of astronaut filth and other basic growth. Much like how an old house cannot be kept up to date by making additions and rennovations for ever, the ISS cannot go on for ever. At least not without something akin to a serious rennovation, but at that point…

Either are true, as || is an inclusive operation.

Many people are giving wrong answers. Cognitive dissonance is NOT simply holding two opposing ideas in your head. Cognitive DISSONANCE is the uneasy feeling people are supposed to get when holding discongruent ideas at the same time.

Some people do not feel cognitive dissonance at all even while openly voicing the opinions. Great examples are all over politics. If one is for women having the freedom to make their own medical decisions, but oppose abortion bejng legal, those are two opposing views that SHOULD trigger unease and make them reconsider one position or the other.

A better example is people that believe laws should apply equally to everyone, but then go on to say Trump should totally be immune. That SHOULD cause dissonance, but it doesn’t for far too many.

Once again demonstrating the versatility of “fuck”.

Hey! Don’t put the prequels in with the enshittified Hollywood! They were enshittified by George jumping the gun on a mostly CG movie and having too much control on the scripts/etc.

That’s totally different from executives demanding more runtime for more movies at a fast pace.

…The new sequels were definitely Disney enshittifying Star Wars, though.

I definitely remember some people screeing about Bush and Cheney wanting it, but IIRC, everyone was treating it like suspicion at most.

The Epstein conspiracy theory was accepted FAR more readily, but then that’s basically guaranteed to be true to some degree, even if it was truly just the jailors being incompetent fuckwits that wanted to take justice in to their own hands.

The only thing I remember people being remotely close to believing was that Bush was so incompetent that he allowed a terrorist attack to happen.

It’s not really a theory that Bush was an incompetent fuckwit, but it’s highly debatable if they knew enough to stop it.

Bandwidth really depends on which busses you’re talking about. Within a computer, 8Gb/s is peanuts.

Even in 2003, a single PCIE v1.0 lane could do 2 Gb/s. Today, in the end-user commercial space, a single PCIE 5.0 lane can do 32Gb/s. That’s a connection that can be external to some degree. Not even talking about memory busses and internal caches that are already approaching terabytes a second.

I mean, if you cannot pass marbles naturally, you might have other issues a doc should take a look at.
