“We are marching to make it clear to President Biden that he is betraying the very youth who helped get him into office in the first place,” Bree Campbell, a 17-year-old organizer with New York City’s Fridays for Our Future chapter, said.

Don't vote for him in 2024? Don't the dems have better candidates than Biden? He can't be all that they've got... that would be hilarious.

Would be nice to know why there's no water flowing through it now.

Replace it with "average 4chan user" and that's about it. 4chan users can't deal with a different opinion and can only respond in "woke" or some version of "faggot". They devolved from being able to banter about stuff to snowflakes.

Interesting. I have intermediate levels of scientific knowledge and actually believe that I don't know shit about science. Compared to a PhD, I am like a toddler, and yet science fascinates me. Reading about how things work, how some researchers dedicate years to expand human knowledge about a single interaction in the human body or at microscopic scale just fills me with awe.

Yes, there are a lot of issues in the scientific community, publishers, garbarge journals, exorbitant publishing and research fees, unhealthy competition, high barriers for minorities, lopsided financial distribution, the reproducibility crisis, and so on and so forth, but it's the best we have right now, and I trust science a lot more than most institutional stuff right now.

I know next to nothing about Korea, IIRC they have a similar work and educational culture to Japan: you leave after the boss and competition for education is extremely high. Coupled with a cost of living crisis, it reduces the will to have children or start relationships. I'm not sure if it's Korea but didn't the prime minister say something along the lines of they should stop complaining and make children?

Anyway, I might be mistaken (and probably am) this problem likely stems from the highly competitive educational environment. You want the best for your kid and will try very hard to remove any obstacles, because even small hindrances might have a huge impact on life afterwards.

How do you know somebody's American without meeting them first?

You hear them.

What does "part ways" even mean? They aren't in the EU and the only claim they have to being on the European continent , is some land they illegally acquired in a very similar fashion to Russia in Ukraine. Is he going to use "immigrants (actually refugees) as weapons" and "open floodgates" to let them into the EU? Provide Russia with more weapons? What?
