If you want to do something like this, why not do the exact same thing but just on the other side of the planet?
If you want to do something like this, why not buy a $150k home in a small town in Italy, France, Spain, or Mexico, instead of having nine people share one bathroom after they eat at a restaurant called "Stinky's?"

Its a lie!

Also: IQ also is not intelligence! Its an arbitrary measure used to determine how we allocate resources for special education, nothing more!

It was fairly common when I was in college for some professors to regularly give 0s for missing 1 key aspect of the assignment.

Instructors at the university level aren't professional educators. Their grading criteria can be as strict and unorthodox as they like, as long as it's consistent.

No one thought Herbie the Love Bug was unusual for being a car that was alive.

Someone's jealous of the attention the guys in the Epstein files are getting!
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

Tried to show my son the game Fez, and, sad to say , it really doesn't hit when you haven't been forced to play a billion variations of platforming 2D sidescrollers for a decade.

Did the ancient Greeks, in the millions of times they repeated the myth of Persephone and Hades, never think about the fact that pomegranates have more than four seeds?

I'm old enough to remember when democrats had overwhelming election victories a week ago and they have already lost all of the confidence and resolve that should have given them.

every once in a while I think of a question that LLMs should be good at: "What percentage of Taskmaster UK contestants are male?" should get me close to an answer, but 6 queries in & its still counting contestants for multiple seasons, saying Greg & Alex, calling females males, & not giving 5 names

Social workers should be eligible for every discount or privilege that police, firefighters, veterans, or teachers get.

I get why they are collectively underappreciated, but I don't get why no one mentions it.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I see a lot of people I usually agree with demonstrating out in the streets today, and I support their speech but, I'm sorry, I didn't think Kumail was THAT bad as Kingo.
