This is what people mean when they talk about "American consumerism"

Your median wage is pretty high even when accounting for purchasing power parity, but it all drains to *somewhere* and you're left broke and in debt again.

It's honestly an indictment of your academic system if you can get by with AI written text. Too much of an obsession with original text, too little demand for proof by citation (LLMs tend to hallucinate fake sources that simply don't exist) and testing of actual comprehension.

Everything is 4/4 if you squint your ears hard enough

I can fix her

LMAO

Täuschbarkeit. Das große Problem mit der Propaganda ist, dass sie funktioniert.

Yeah, that's what I felt was missing from that list. Bad systems got the US to where they are now and that includes the election systems.

Civil servants, that's how. There's no glory or money in this, nothing that a politician could show off with or embezzle, so shit just gets done by the people who truly serve the common good.

Nichts darf man mehr sagen!

That's the nature of a coup. It's not really about taking control in a directly measurable way, it's about creating the appearance of control so that those who could resist choose not to instead of risking violent death for a futile cause.

There's nothing good about this.

IQ has some use in comparing reference versus experimental groups in some studies, but only after very careful consideration of what is actually being measured by doing that in the context of the study. BMI has been replaced by better obesity metrics like waist to hip ratio.

I don't have an iPhone anymore, but I've had this video in my recommendations multiple times now. It's not just you who is noticing this. My main reason to move away from Apple is that the default software keeps getting worse. Buggier, slower, less intuitive.

That's quite impressive ridership for lines that aren't even connected to each other to form a real network.

I'm not British, but from my experience, I would have said Nottingham, so I'm glad I'm not totally wrong.

The fact that it's getting proper mid-rise housing is great. This is the density you want to dominate to create liveable spaces. Also works great with the trams that Ulm has.

Why though? It's not London or Paris, it's only the 63rd largest city in Germany and the 6th largest city in its own state (yes, I checked).

Which only serves to demonstrate how bad humanoid robots are. A lot of engineering and processing power is wasted on getting the bipedal walk right instead of using the quadrupedal walk and attaching some extra limbs to do stuff with.
