I know the answer - Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked. Your answer is not really an answer - just rehash of russian propaganda.

> You won't find any avenues in Russia named after Stalin. Don't know about avenues, but Russians unveiled new statue of Stalin in Moscow in 2025.

I'm Polish, I know how Russians are, I do not need to watch American sources for this or to listen to Russian guy trying to shift blame from his country :)

Didn't citizens of Venezuela themselves actually verify and prove that election was stolen?

What do you mean? Do you think that Ukrainian natonalists started the war and not Russia (or to reply in your tone - fans of Stalin)?

Putin can have Europe? You mean that country 10x poorer compared with EU will somehow take Europe? Country that's stuck in a war with the poorest european country for years?

Very bad. APC fees typically are much larger than overhead of publishing and publishers have extreme profit margins.

Yes, because more and more Christians are becoming hypocrites.

That's interesting. I've got completely different impression. Every time I use Gemini I'm surprised how bad it is. My main complaint is that Gemini is too lazy.

I think it's widely used in research as a marker of intelligence (and for good reason - correlates really well with cognitive abilities).

But I didn't say anything about roblox, why do you think I'm fine with whatever they are doing? I just think you are wrong to think that anti-pedophilia guardrails thorough the ages were good and should be example for us. If you a

Wasn't pedophilia much more widespread throughout the ages than it is now? I think the real "solution" to the problem of child abuse back in time was not to view it as a problem at all!

Absolutely. > Polymarket, a cryptoscam-based prediction market How is this "reporting" even real? Awful article. The interview was so bad that painting roblox in the bad light was the right and objective thing to do, yet they s

It absolutely helps - people who move to high end housing free up other, cheaper apartments (recent economic paper has clearly showed that this works, you can easily find it)

Are there any vaccines that do not have overwhelmingly positive risk/benefit ratio? (Covid and flu vaccines definitely do!)

It was true, even for young adults covid vaccine is safer than covid.

I think it's not even AI spending, but just the end of ZIRP.

Not true at all: 1) more intelligent people are happier (author of the blogpost cherrypicked 2 studies, one of which in fact showed that iq is positively correlated with hapiness. 2) IQ negatively correlates with neuroticism. 3) In fact IQ

But smart people are happier! There are a lot more - and better - studies that show that, even one of the studies that author linked shows that.

We are moving towards gerontocracy - if pension funds will have large losses it’s very likely that young, working age people will be taxed extra heavily to keep the QOL of pensioners.

> You could qualify your argument by saying that excess LDL is harmful. It’s so obvious it doesn’t need to be stated dude.
447.
by azan_ 1y ago
Not really, the evidence that ldl causes heart disease and statins prevent deaths is very, very, very strong (lots of clinical trials, lots of causal evidence e.g. Mendelian randomization). LDL is extremely harmful!

Of course I can. I frequently use numbers which are great abstraction. I can use same number five to describe apples, bananas and everything countable.

by azan_ 1y ago
No, abstraction is the point and formal reasoning is a tool. And yes, what Euclid did is obviously abstraction, I don’t know why so you consider this stance nonsense.
