    Not in Africa. The plan is to have billions of Africans migrate to Europe to do the work instead, due to the climate crisis. When they get to Europe, they are going to expect the s…

    There is something really special about European development. Chinese history is absolutely fascinating with a lot of super cool inventions, but nothing stands close to European hi…

    That really doesn't sound healthy. Babies need real interaction, they don't need to slap a screen and make funny noises. Screens are flat, they have no texture. Sadly, babies which…

    This is actually kinda true with doordash etc. Those drivers are completely unvetted, they don't even have an interview. The kind of people that can't get a job at a pizza place. P…

    I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader. Imagine how our society would change if these liars and grifters were not constantly brainwashing our friends and family on the topics…

    Actually, the earth is subject to evolutionary pressure in a sense. This is the only planet that supports life (that we know of). That's because it's natural properties endured thr…

    Not the op but, I've seen this for lots of reasons. Sometimes just a roll of the dice. Large companies tend to lay off more. If you've only worked in startups, it's very possible y…

    Sure they used their brains. But "brains behind the operation" is a term of art. Is the McDonald's cashier the "brains behind the operation" because they count change as part of th…
