The moment you pay for an IQ test - you failed it

Yes but mostly with younger generations. People born after ~1998 tend to drink noticeably less in every occasion.
This might just be personal experience but I'd say those born 1975-1985 drink the most.

There's nothing contradictory in it. This specific mix was never hugely popular but it doesn't require any cognitive dissonance, all of those are separate ideas.

Interesting they chose Paraguay of all places, the country that had extremely anti-racist policies in the beginning of the 19th century. This was 1893 though, long past those ideas were gone.

How many times do we need to learn the same lesson about prohibition? Although it did help a lot to reduce domestic violence according to the article. Getting rid of forced marriage instead of alcohol would have been a better option but we should celebrate small victories I guess...

I don't understand the resistance to changing platforms that many people and especially companies show.
For example the company I work for refuses to consider anything except Xitter. Casually talking with the people running social media, I concluded they think about platforms as a fixed fact of nature, rather than something flexible that you can experiment with.

There's basically a minimal cost to having a multi-platform presence. Copy/paste your posts to 3 places, there are even tools to automate it.

Yes in 2 ways:

• Gradually through the years, so slowly they don't even notice it
• If they internally decide they have to do it, for some motivation of their own

What will never ever happen is that people change if others demand it from them. If you hear someone saying "I promise I will change" - no they won't.

Nice. Also, I'd like to see weight as one of the filter/sort options.

Username checks out. Hi Donald!

An easy way out. That's it.

If it's about a material thing - being able to throw it away and buy a "correct" one without worrying about recouping any money.

If it's about politics - open path to changing your opinion without constantly being called out for your previous opinion. I feel like changing your mind is punished to an extreme. You need to have always believed the "correct" thing without showing any doubt or you're out. And this is common to many political groups.

They are a party of cognitive dissonance. She's the perfect leader.

Supposedly one of Putin's homes. Idk how often he actually stays there.

Antarctica. It's possible, there are regular tours to the South Pole. In reality I can't afford €60k+ for such a tour, but if money is no object I'd go

I was just letting some frustrations into the keyboard. True, I don't personally know any trans people. And my frustration stems from both sides claiming they have the One True Answer to the questions about sex and gender.
Of course I'm more willing to agree with the pro-trans side since they are willing to show some doubt about all of it being genetically pre-determined (which is imo obviously false)

The more discussion I see about trans people, both for and against, the less tolerance I have for all of it. I'm becoming both anti-trans and anti-cis. Just let people live they way they want, and try to respect it up to some reasonable level of effort. The whole gender thing is bs in the first place.

When Egypt is the reasonable one .. you know how bad it is

At this point it's Putin (through Trump) who seems desperate to end the war. While I don't want to see more Ukrainians dying, agreeing to a truce now seems like a bad idea.
