@ScottPresler No one cares about a big building. They care about their taxes going up as a result, their electricity going up, etc. If everywhere data centers were built, the property taxes went to zero, people would be fighting to get a data center in their area.
So you’re probably going to be eaten by a tiger at the tail end of your reproductive years, say 40, which also frees up resources for young genes that are more likely to reproduce, and nobody looks at someone else and says “hubba hubba, I bet she lives a long time”. How does that explain why we live to 80 now and probably won’t live much longer than that? The vehicle that genes selected for an optimum 40 degrades in about 80? Just because evolution didn’t select for traits to live long, why does that mean modifications can’t be made to the vehicle to extend its life?
I’m not on any side of this, just curious.
1980-1990 flat, 1990-2000 10% drop. There wasn't a decrease in socializing in the 90s. It's been 10% per decade since then. The weekly outings for teens was flat until 2010 (hello iPhone/social media) while alcohol dropped 20% from 1990-2010. More teens probably figured out there was more to do than just getting wasted.
@daveasprey You are saying tomatoes by themselves isn't salsa, which is true, but all the other ingredients without tomatoes isn't salsa either. Tomatoes are the crucial ingredient for salsa.
@TheChiefNerd You have to be so out of touch with reality and insulated in a Hollywood bubble to say something like “the force known as MAGA” and then define it. And then to think mean comments is coming after your family.
