Don’t see why this was removed. Though it does go right back to OP’s victim mentality.

Oh that’s cool to hear about. Neat!

Hahaha

Hour of cardio? Maybe 2!😲

Thanks for doing the leg work, I wasn’t sure where to start and figured I’d end up down a rabbit hole…too easily distracted!

Starlink satellites deorbit on their own. What else is SpaceX leaving in orbit? (Serious question, maybe there are small components the launch systems lose?)

Exactly!

“You can’t out run a bad diet”.

Exercise helps, but once you do the math and see how many calories hard exercise consumes vs how easy it is to eat more calories, it becomes very clear.

Yep, the explosion of administration in colleges/universities since the early 80’s is the massive problem.

What’s interesting is some people recognized the oncoming issues in the 60’s! Robert Persig notes it, albeit somewhat obliquely, in his book “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”.

We need to see some new educational competitors out there. When you can get the education for a fraction of what these government-secured organizations charge, then we’ll see change.

If you can’t see how you moved them, I can’t help you.

Nice comparisons. Will add that to my explanations.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Oh crap, you already done lost me in the second half there, but I’ll give the link a watch.

Thanks again!

I’ve worked with folks from around the world (including Central and South Americans), some can be touchy about it. Had to tell them “sorry, I, as an American, don’t define these terms. Blame Europeans, not me”.

“US”, “America”, “Americans” all have specific denotations… per EMEA, and hell, even Canadians.

It’s like nicknames - if you have one, you didn’t choose it. It was earned or applied by someone else.

Yawn.

Did you just finish Sophistry 101? Cause that’s all we’re hearing out of you.

I mean you’ve climbed up on the cross, and it looks like you’re even putting the nails in yourself.

Save some wood for Jesus.

Yea, that’s on the asswipe saying that. We get to meet them everywhere.

That description of American Colonists is exactly why there was a rebellion.

The English treated the colonists like second-class citizens, going so far as to try to get Ben Franklin to answer for things like the Tea Party, while he was in England, and a Loyalist.

The simplistic “rebelled over taxation” is just a representation of how the Crown and European Brits viewed and treated the colonists.

Colonists didn’t quit Britain, the Briton’s quit on the Colonists.

Got any more goalposts you’d like to move?

Half? No.

Closer to 98%.

Europeans are just as jingoistic as anyone else. And just as ignorant.

Let the arseholes bring their ideas into the light, so we know who they are and what they think.

Suppression is just a bad idea, and your naivete is terrifying.
