  There’s a reason I dropped probability at school.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the progressives current platform? What is the oldest example of the progressive platform thst you know of?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People who downvote this haven’t had a look at the Labour Party in the UK lately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the average person have no critical thinking?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also applies to modern day Russia. Everyone knows the elections are fake, for example, but they keep their heads down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The US introduced tariffs in the thirties and it ultimately caused the attack on Pearl Harbour.

  The reason why we know it’s a bad idea is history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does humanism lead to tolerance paradox?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody “calls out” the tolerance paradox. It’s those who refuse to tolerate intolerance who call it the tolerance paradox.

  PS am in market for cat(s), Southern Germany.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a child of the 90s we grew up with PC Political Correctness. Is that WOKE but just in a different form?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re confusing fiscally liberal with left wing liberal. They’re completely different beasts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How's them tariffs going⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  cackles in Rheinmetall stocks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a former nunnery down the road. I suppose I’d try to join. Or maybe find a farmer who’s looking for someone to look after his kids because his third wife died in childbirth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MAAAAM⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We had a blackbird in the back yard who was adopted by a flock of sparrows. Initially her mum died and her dad fed her, then dad disappeared and she started begging food from the sparrows. They obliged and she was part of their flock from then on, even when she got a husband.

  Not a country but a city: Berliners are notorious for being unfriendly but I’ve yet to meet one I didn’t get along with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨light pollution⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you get the chance, go to visit Berlin Charlottenburg ASAP. It’s still lit with gas lights. No light pollution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does the need for particular hormones count as a single bodily function? Asking for a post menopausal person.

  Russian matryoshka style. Figures.

  He’s a false messiah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do man made hiking trails keep the grass from overgrowing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where I live they’re not maintained at all. If nobody uses them for a while they disappear. I have a “path” nearby that’s on every single map but you can no longer see it used to be a path.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Transitioning in STEM⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife was marked down on her PhD because she “wasn’t nice enough” to her supervisor. All the assessors gave her top marks, but her supervisor vetoed them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Laws don’t matter. The government is breaking laws left, right and centre.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What purpose do carbohydrates OTHER than sugars serve in the body?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or she does a different kind of job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don’t know what to do with this coworker.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, the way he described the lady is misogynistic as fuck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The secret German plans leaked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Freiburg not moving? Awesome, we’ll have so much more room for activities.
