Again, WHY do people want things they don't need? Because advertising tells them to. Because culture tells them to. Because propaganda tells them to. Because nationalism tells them to. In the US, and other hyper-captalist countries, th

Staffing changes. People have to justify their jobs. People get hired to create a product, then get shuffled around then nobody cares so the product dies. Every time there's a leadership shuffle you'll notice products get left beh

The average American types around 40wpm, so definitely not touch typing. People definitely get by without learning it. I work in a huge variety of fields and interact with people from all places in US society. My guess would be maybe 25-35%

I'm American and would disagree that most of us know how to touch type. The average American definitely doesn't touch type. The average american types ~40wpm, so yeah.

It changes how you think and put thoughts down. It's definitely a skill worth learning. Once someone can type above ~120wpm the keyboard disappears from your brain.

Most folks just want confirmation. They don't want to have their views/opinions changed. LLM are good at trying to give folks what they're looking for.

They're called canned responses. A lot of customer service reps are forced to use canned responses at level 1 no matter what. They can't respond with anything but a pre-made response.

I think you're misinterpreting what I said. I said 75% of people with garages likely don't put their cars in their garages. This is unrelated to the number of RV owners who store their caravan at a storage facility. I didn't

They try it out because Americans love owning stuff as status symbols. Gotta keep up with the Joneses with our "grass fed" steak dindins, 3rd truck, boat, rv and garage full of junk. We are hyper-capitalist and we use the manifest

It used to be common place to grind it up and put it in the feed for animals. Ranchers do a ton of shit that is pretty disgusting and messed up. If you call them out for it they'll get pretty upset and call you a commie or unamerican.

Lol no it's not. Each country has specific tastes then breeds for it. American beef is not the same as Brazilian beef which isn't the same as European beef which isnt the same as Australian beef. It's just preference. There i

Americans often have to rent multiple storage units to store their stuff. This happens after their garages begin to overflow with junk. Id say like 75% of Americans don't use their garage for their car, it's just storage for shit.
