You have to go til Korea to adopt a child? Are there no “valid” candidates in adopters’ country?

To be honest, everything is in a straight line if wide enough or in the correct map projection…

Europe better invests in autonomy for survival reasons, the fragile balance of global inter-dependence is no more…

I thought that part of being a narcissist implies the lack of self accountability to begin with, a narcissist cannot recognise the problem by themself, only external agents can induce them to it at best, and the moment they acknowledge it… is not narcissist anymore, right?

Barely the same agents with most of the resources will rush into capitalise it, “control” from a few is a perpetual war…

There have never been enough concerns to be worth to develop a vaccine for a prion, and current used techniques are those for being efficient for their targets, but as far as I know prions are just proteins and proteins can be (and are) targeted, the whole immunitarie system often relies on those…

[…] there’s just no way to dodge this sort of stuff unless you have the EMP tech […]

I think that we are closer of advance EMP technology than remote controlled operative war nanobots that supose a non violent threat more than biological weapons (which I find quite violent and inhumane), not to mention that countermeasure evolution seems much easier than (if not as easy as) the effective sophistication of nanobots, just to say a few…

That’s how you get surges of STDs among other awful things…

The healthiest thing is a decent sexual education to tackle all the topics rather than only this issue in these cases… but very welcome anyway

That’s… simply not true at all, not only is a common joke how native speakers from a typical remote area are easily unintelligible to geographically close cosmopolitan native speakers, but me, as a non native, have problems to understand most of the accents in English if I have not been exposed enough to them (skill issue probably, but I found it quite common in European English speaking environments)

Shock?

Is there a limit of what can cross the pylorus?

Even if such observation of yours is an objective unbiased statistical estimation… statistical deviations as large as M are also expected on one out of N times, the trial factor correction is non trivial at all… even without multiverse assumptions

It feels like a privilege escalation exploit: at a certain point the authority chain jumped from a random picture provided who knows where/when to a link in the chain that should be reliable enough to blindly trust in this subject.

I only see advantages in the long term in supporting the local comerce, even if you can find cheaper stuff in any agressive big-box or on-line stores, they are big because they aim for one only thing: monopoly.

Whatever…

Yeah, well, you know, that’s just like, uh, your opinion man

…got to say it, but at that point the conversation is over so I would refrain to reply at all… a better quote:

Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

Good to know, my few experiences with folds (which I was quite fond of) where in the previous era of smartphones (so mechanical keyboard and no touch-screens) and the bending part evidenced always as a weak point in terms of wearing, in one occasion the failure point cause of the phone change. So, is there no evident wearing symptoms in the bending areas of these folding smartphones if treated with love?
