Did you know actual snake oil was used in traditional Chinese medicine for arthritis. Aparently it's quite high in Omega-3. But it got popular and then grifters started selling random concoctions and calling it snake oil and that's how it became synonymous with quackery.

Not really related to the point of your comment, I just read about it recently and thought it was interesting.

"Almost more" seems nonsensical. Is it almost equivalent?

Are rates and ratios just too difficult? 529 in five months is much higher comparatively than 5** in four years.

Like, you could just say Trump has done airstrikes at more than 9 times Biden's average so far.

I guess at least you know they can't evangelise?

A lot of comments saying why they think reading has declined (boo evil school... They made me critically analyse stuff...) but not even touching on why that's evidently having more effect on boys than girls?

That's odd.

Compare to the other post asking why Tate bro manosphere brainrot is on the rise. The kind of garbage that specifically discourages boys from higher order thinking because that's not "alpha". Some of the comments there basically boiled down to " not my problem, shut up".

Interetsing juxtaposition.

Misogyny holds men back, but as long as that won't be acknowledged, nothing will improve.

US-manufactured products should be allowed to compete on an equal basis with Australian-produced goods, consistent with the WTO [World Trade Organization] and US-Australia Free Trade Agreement,” he said.

Research and development tax concessions in Australia, France and Spain were described as conferring advantages to local firms “that the United States is hard-pressed to match”.

Um, isn't this what the US is ostensibly trying to do to everyone else with their tariffs? Advantage home grown products over international ones?

It's almost as if it's not supposed to be free or fair, it's just about the US extracting as much money from everyone in the world that they can get away with.

Sweet. Hopefully this means we will deny Musk and Trump and all the rest of them too

Möchtest du mit mir sprechen? Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut, aber ich will es lernen. Ich war im 2003 in Hesse, ich liebe Deutschland

Ich lerne Deutsch, und

opiskelen suomea, ja

estoy aprendiendo español también.

Furthest along with Deutsch, because I did it at school (decades ago), not making huge progress gains with any of them because Duolingo, but it fits in my day so easily and the repetition is effective I think.
