Okay, but I don't think this was intentional suffocation of the kids. This seems much more as an attempt to get everyone to survive

And yet, despite people saying what you say, I still struggle far more than neurotypical people and they can't understand why

I am diagnosed with both, and do relate to social media posts regarding the combination of both

I believe it was always the plan to return samples, however, that is assuming the funding for it won't be cut, which unfortunately might end up being the case

Maybe part of it is the whole "greatest country on earth" stuff as well. In other words, a lack of humility

In the European countries I've lived in, pride like that wasn't really encouraged. And if you're too boastful or what not to the point of arrogance, you tend to get the stink eye

And this applies to patriotism as well. Here in Norway for example, despite us having a stronger claim for stuff like "greatest country", very few people, if any, really feel like being "proud" of one's own country is something that one should be doing, or it being honorable at all. The best I see is that people enjoy living here and, if they see another Norwegian out there or Norway mentioned, they just get happy to see a fellow Norwegian, just because we are relatively small

Honestly, most Norwegians I've met complain about Norway's problems more often than not lmao, despite, all things considered, you can hardly find better countries to live in, except some other European ones depending on your own preferences

There really is just, no culture of like, arrogance. Something that I feel like is very different to the US with its super heavy emphasis on individual capitalistic success

Maybe that's a large part of it as well. A consequence of American culture being so extremely individualistic

I remember that video when it was new, and how very uncritical veritasium was

Disappointing

Yeah, this is a really really neat way of looking at nature that I sometimes thought about. Nature is pretty fucking darn technologically advanced

We've gotten very uncomfortably close to a nuclear exchange multiple times in history

The only reason it didn't happen is pure luck

Until one of them fires the nukes, that is. But sure, it might not happen

It's like paying your rent by playing Russian roulette

But also don't forget that the amount of gamers is larger today than in 2013. Gaming is much more mainstream, and so even 97% of the install base is still disappointing considering steam grew by, what, 3x or something in terms of average monthly users?

Another source I found is that the amount of total gamers grew by roughly 50% from 2013 to 2025. But yeah, I just did a quick skin numbers are not precise

But still, 97% is disappointing considering the general demographic was supposed to grow. And then, in reality, it's just 67% too

Honestly I'm surprised anyone would even want to sleep with a trumper. Like, what's the appeal? It's not like they treat women (or anyone, really) well

I am aware it's difficult, but my point was that you aren't powerless

I am aware

Do people not use kitchen weights? It's a very common thing where I live (in Europe)

Hell, I often just use a kitchen weight to measure volume of water instead of using a measuring cup, as 1 liter of water ~= 1 kilogram

People really are gonna just "too hard to use" their way into an ad-filled, censored, unusable, toxic social media experience huh

So instead of fighting now you're just going to allow yourself to get drafted later? How is that in any way preferable

I mean, if they all did it, it absolutely would make shit happen

The whole issue stems from most people wanting to just keep their heads down

They are powerless if everyone stops giving them power

The country is nothing without its workers

Of 10-20% of the population actively protested and actively tried to halt any functioning of society, you'd be surprised at how much you could get done. A that large mass of people is absolutely hell to control and subdue, and they certainly cannot arrest even a significant fraction of them. If the threat of protests of that scale were real every time they tried some fuckery, they would give in very quickly

The problem is that almost everyone thinks like you say, "what am I to do? I'm powerless", and give up before even trying

half life times log2(amount of atoms), right?

And yet, Democrats tend to overperform on polls

America is cooked

"Quisling" is another good one
