Some of you US Americans are so full of yourselves with so little knowledge about the rest of the world

As are billions of others all around the world.

Which is why a least those of you who fall under that description also really deserve your current imbecile government.

LOL, they or I may indeed deserve it, but you get to suffer it too, so enjoy your schadenfreude. :)

I think you are generally correct; however, mandatory military service can merely be a component of mandatory civil service to teach and show people discipline and a community focus.

For some reason, I can't recall which country made me think of that... so maybe it was all propaganda to begin with...

If they want it preconditioned? Yes, welcome to 2025, they can install the app on their phone. Or they use the 'remote climate start' option on the keyfob. Or they shoot you a quick text asking you to hit the button in your app.

You keep trying to paint these advancements in convenience and comfort as terrible burdens, and it's weird.

So it's your contention that by claiming Windows 10 was the last version of windows that MS is obliged to support it *forever* on legacy hardware?

You must belong to one of those 'isms to think like this. Very black and white thinking.

The implication would look more like, "not putting arbitrary requirements on the ability to continue running the OS". Sure, when x86/64 is no longer the primary chip architecture, there will be a change in requirements, but that is not what is happening now is it?

I do suffer jet lag flying east, but not west. I have no idea why they differ.

he insane people who think that they can legislate the value of Pi.

What I meant by that was that I experience cognitive dissonance (correct term?) in regards to time changes like that. It should be noted that I do not need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning before work. My body just does it.

You are exactly right. I see non-curated videos of people all over the world. It is clear that American food is engineered to cause excess fat regardless of how much you eat. It is disgusting.

Conspiracy theory: They do it so that even poor people are fat so that everyone can point and say: see? they are fat, they are not starving.", despite the fact that indeed, they ARE starving.

Brazil scrapped DST a few years ago - did the research check against their data?

Who cares? I have lived without time changes for a little less than half my life. I HATE how I feel for about 2 weeks twice a year now that I am back with the insane people who think that they can legislate the value of Pi. Stop being stupid.
