@gilga10@questionableway I actually find US service somewhat intrusive, overbearing, and obnoxious (on average) compared to service here in Europe.
I can't say to what extent that's differing tastes (ie Americans actually prefer this) Vs tipping culture incentivizing "working" the customer
@visakanv What did your 2yo think you'd be buying work at the work shop with?

@_space_punk_ I didn't mention TV/music bc they can easily be explained by assuming a "THE JEWS control the media" view -> "consuming media = celebrating Jewish heritage" ig.

@ProLifeIVF@webdevMason@NoblestCalling The average gains from screening for traits in the paper (1 inch for height, 2.5 IQ points) are actually the same or higher than what you could get in the example here (selection for a trait vs random 1 of the 4) if these scores were perfectly accurate: 1 inch and 0.75 IQ points
@eurydicelives@goblinodds@Howlingmutant0 My (Swedish) ex used to joke about Sexy Stalin. Quite a lot, and quite intensely β occasionally the content veered into mild necrophilia
