36% of all mammals! That's a lot actually. I'm less surprised about livestock being 60%, sounds plausible, but humans being half of the livestock mass that is very surprising.

Mmm, depression coffee.

Jk. I usually switch to other caffeinated drinks to mix it up, like tea or mate.

lol, because if they work 40-hour weeks they might create it a couple of weeks later

I forgot Skype still exists. They killed it a long time ago, now they will just make it official

lol somebody wrote a whole analysis why

The author is very likely female and Chinese.

a simple click on the author's profile shows he's a French man

Interesting observations. The behavior on dating apps is prime stuff for sociological research. I wonder what even more data from really big apps could reveal.
The author doesn't seem to question the current role of dating in society and takes it as a given, but that's fine observing phenomena from within the system is not invalid.

Here's one technique that helps me - internal brainstorming. Don't try to be serious about coming up with an idea - think about many random vaguely related possibilities, combine them, reevaluate, etc.
Have your mind be in a state of flux jumping from one thought to another but not succumb to the pressure of having the final solution as quickly as possible.

After a while several coherent options will crystallize. Then comes the decision paralysis - unfortunately I have no cure for that.

Millions of refugees from Syria too

Interesting, there's people who basically live full time up there, for 1-2 years at a time.

This is very common in the EU. The majority of news sites do it. I believe it's technically legal because they aren't under obligation to provide a free access at all

The British urge to eat mummies still going strong

So technically there could be an object that is mostly a black hole, except on the equator?

Revenge plays a part in it. But more importantly it's narcissistic ego trip. He needs to prove to the world he's the best, the smartest, the only one worthy to be a savior.
Being humble and making small changes will not result in Musk being celebrated as the most important person in history, which is what he really wants to be. If it all fails it doesn't matter, because somebody else being celebrated as having the right idea is an even bigger failure for him.

I don't know because I can't know what every person who ever existed already thought about. Unlikely given the total human population.

I'm curious, did you consume other non-movie Star Wars media before, like books and animates series? I have a theory that the most dislike for the new trilogy comes from them basically "rewriting history" so to speak - cancelling all the characters and events already established in the universe.

I mean I don't think they are amazingly good movies even in isolation, but I can see someone liking them for the fun factor at least.

Yes, the way media writes about it is a huge part of their success. Even the media that nominally opposes them. It's either "oh just another political option", or "inhuman monsters of the far-right". Either approach legitimizes them.

They reward increasing the number of people who are formally married, rather than the number of stable couples.
Such a wonderful example of misaligned incentives, only a politician could come up with it.

lol I can't even begin. I regularly use 4 languages, even defining what a pronoun is barely possible. Native speakers argue about the correct usage for some of those

• Be a huge country of 300 million spread around thousands of islands
• Have centuries long naval tradition
• Your Navy is shit

Indonesia 🌈
