Having worked on that tokomak, I can confirm that the Chinese are not playing around when it comes to funding long-term science initiatives. The US should be doing some serious soul searching about its priorities...where is the collective n

Your accomplishments don't mean anything in the ultimate sense anyway. Nothing is permanent. The universe will eventually cook itself to death. When it's your turn to go, how you feel about the matter will make no difference. So I

A four day weekend is very extraordinary in itself. Perhaps you need not do anything special to get the most out of it.

Except that example is a bit trivial. How about a harder example. Is it "disrespectful" to say that one of the reasons there are fewer women in engineering is because engineering simply doesn't interest women? This is somethi

Isolation as a problem is a big deal and worth addressing. However, the most lonely people I've met are those who have no problem finding other people to be around.

It sounds like they're tackling isolation, not loneliness. There is a vital distinction between the two.

Both can be true. Portland has some nasty parts (inner downtown, anywhere near a trail or a body of water) that are riddled with needles or feces, but there are also some very nice parts like the suburbs or anywhere that can afford private

Provide some evidence then. What percentage of women could vote then? What percentage of blacks? If it's not a significant amount, your reply isn't much of a rebuttal.

Yes, I am arguing that. There is no way the US is the world power it was through the late 1800s and beyond, without centuries of coercion [0]. [0] https://www.history.com/news/slavery-profitable-southern-eco...

There was never any coercion in the US. All those black people simply begged to be chained and beaten for centuries. The tribes? They just really wanted to travel to Oklahoma. Women were naturally granted the right to vote in 1776 without

For starters, H1Bs are cheaper to hire. Also, they're more desperate to stay in the US, so they won't demand too much and won't walk away from poor conditions. That also fixes with the population issue since middle class Amer
