They don't build out of ice because of poverty, but because they are a society that is heavily entwined with waterbending in an environment of almost entirely water/ice. The Northern water tribe wasn't poor or devastated like they were, and yet there was a distinct lack of stone structures.

One of the coolest details in Avatar lore is that young Avatar Kyoshi took the same relic test that Aang did centuries later. Aang randomly picked the exact same ancient toys that belonged to past Avatars when he was just a baby, and that’s how the Air Nomads realized he was the Avatar. It’s basically their version of the reincarnation test. Meanwhile Korra really said forget the toys and just walked in bending water, earth, and fire at like 4 years old 😭😹

@lizisamused It’s not like there are so many males geniuses either, they are still a very small percentage of the male population. You make it seem like they’re easy to meet that’s crazy.

Being a pretty, high IQ woman isn't a hindrance in dating at all 😂 If anything, it's a massive advantage. Male geniuses outnumber female geniuses. There are twice as many guys as girls with an IQ over 120. The higher up in IQ you go, the more drastic the ratio becomes. And smart guys tend to like smart girls, so the smart girls get to scoop up the smart guys who are very excited to have found them. Plus we tend to cluster socially with fellow intelligent people, so it isn't even hard for smart women to find those smart men. Just kind of a weird myth that it sucks to be an intelligent woman imo. Numbers alone show it'd be harder for a smart guy to find someone on his level than vice versa 🤷🏻‍♀️
Atticus@redl3tters

The sweet spot with IQ gaps is ~10 points higher than the girl. That's the zone where she can tell you're smart, but the two of you can still relate. Beyond 10 points, she just thinks you're a weirdo because she can't understand your thought process at all. So there's plenty of irony to be found in intelligence as a desirable trait: The average woman will consistently recognize guys in the 110 - 120 range as impressively "smart" to her liking. Beyond that, you're going to have to dumb yourself down to impress most girls with how "smart" you are. The flip side of this coin is that there are few souls more tortured than the pretty, high IQ woman. Her whole life is one big search for a desirable guy who can impress her with his mind... Then when she finally finds one, he's sadly developed the persona of a mid, because that's what he learned he needed for romantic success. And that's how we all end up on Twitter.

If by all over you mean less than 2% peaking out from remote mountain ranges or select coastlines, then yes. If I'm not mistaken, that was the only building made of stone in all of Wolf Cove. It was a clumsy, obvious deus ex machina for the purposes of that scene alone to differentiate and elevate her vs Aang as the previous protagonist.

@MisandryE @KenFarmerTV American homes have much larger footprints, and so the angle is necessarily more mild. If we had British roof angles the building height would triple.

@KenFarmerTV Must be a america thing with the flimsey state of their buildings. But UK we dont "fix roofs" because slate or tiles are steep, slippery, and require a bit more knowledge and kit than the average DIYer to do safely. Oil is pretty easy, but messy on a driveway.

You can always tell the class distinction in posts like these. There are still a lot of men—especially working-class and lower-middle-class men—who do their own home maintenance instead of hiring someone, largely because they can’t comfortably afford contractors or because they were culturally expected to “handle it themselves.” Never listen to these wanna be influencers with no connection to the real world.
KenFarmer ⒶⓋ tweet media
Rebecca V. Proud American 🇺🇸@AntiCommieBecca

YES! Exactly! Women have a little, but men have changed so much! Women used to be able to depend on men to fix the roof, change the oil, handle conflicts with neighbors or other community members & the majority of men don’t do that anymore. They outsource almost everything yet complain that women shouldn’t outsource things like cooking, cleaning or childcare. It’s amazing they don’t understand this! And I really think it comes down to maladaptation to modernity. If men could be more equal partners. View their partner, as just that -a partner, not a subordinate and provide competency in the same areas women have always relied on that would alleviate SO much! One of the things I admire in my husband most is his ability to fix make and build literally anything! No one I know has a husband like that and all the women are jealous. 😭

You probably learned that "thank you" in Japanese is arigatou gozaimasu. There are 5 levels. Pick the wrong one, and you'll sound rude, weirdly formal, or like you're trying way too hard. Here's how it works. Level 1 — Doumo (どうも) You drop coins on the counter at 7-Eleven. The clerk hands you the receipt. You say doumo. That's it. "Got it. Thanks." Almost no weight. Level 2 — Arigatou (ありがとう) Your friend hands you a beer. You say arigatou. Same energy as "thanks, man." Level 3 — Arigatou gozaimasu (ありがとうございます) A stranger holds the elevator for you. You say arigatou gozaimasu. Polite. Respectful. Neutral. The safest default in Japanese society. Level 4 — Arigatou gozaimashita (ありがとうございました) You finish dinner. As you leave, the staff bows and says arigatou gozaimashita. Past tense. Built into the word: "This is over, and we are grateful for it." Level 5 — Makoto ni arigatou gozaimasu (誠にありがとうございます) A CEO opens his speech at the company's 50th anniversary. Makoto ni arigatou gozaimasu. "Truly, thank you." Used when gratitude has public, formal weight. That's the 5. Beyond them, there's osoreirimasu (恐れ入ります). A thank-you mixed with apology. Used when someone goes out of their way for you, and your gratitude carries: "I'm sorry I made you do that." Five levels. One word, arigatou, branching into five different shades. Each level says something the words themselves don't. Who you are. Who they are. What just happened. Next time someone in Japan thanks you, listen to which level they used. That's where the real message is.

This was always a theory of mine as to the prevalence of sleeping with underage girls among famous men. It isn't that they used their status to start pursuing underage women, but rather they weren't prepared to reject the constant advances of underage women. And, of course, once you break the taboo things begin to devolve.

Men who come into significant social prestige through fame or achievement (think rock/pop stars, prominent athletes, and yes, even politicians) often describe the ‘groupie experience’- women suddenly and spontaneously throwing themselves at them- as surreal to the point of disorienting. I don’t think too many women (not to be mean, but really only the bottom 10% in terms of conventional attractiveness probably have a notion of this) fully appreciate how much just ‘being invisible’ is the default quotidian male experience.
Thornmallow@derridative

@LizzyStarrrdust Many men (most men?) experience sex as something that happens in the context of a committed relationship that required various forms of significant “investment” on their part. They have never experienced, and will never experience, being the object of intense spontaneous desire

There's some measure of reversion to the mean, but there's a reason nearly half of all NBA players are children/relatives of athletes. Height is heavily genetically determined in particular. Yao Ming, for example, is literally the result of a state run breeding program to create athletes. Plus, professional pools are very small and selecting for extreme outliers. A child being top 1% in a sport is not sufficient for more than high school level, you need the variance to push some to that 0.01% to make it at the top.

@IchiuzYluu_ @BrandonBVarnell It's the same logic as the original Legend of Zelda game having the main character be "Link" and not having dialogue. The less defined the character, the less potential dissonance when inserting yourself in the fantasy.

Since I've seen this so many times, I am going to add my two cents. First and foremost, many of these are ISEKAI and not straight fantasy. Isekai stories are made to be "stories about rundown, overworked Japanese salary traveling to another world where they finally succeed." I have never been in the Japanese workforce, but anyone who has will understand how stressful Japan's working environment is. This is why many of these characters have started to die from things like "heart failure." They literally die from overwork and are then reincarnated in a world where they can relax and indulge in their hobbies. The reason they all look the same is because the characters here are Japanese. Japan as a society is very homogenous. Men and women have black hair and black eyes. Anime and manga are made for the Japanese people despite its international acclaim. Why wouldn't they want to create characters that Japanese people can empathize with? I'm sure there are other reasons as well, but this is the one I thought of when I kept seeing this post.

The militia is the citizenry, the body politic. It is clear in contemporaneous sources as well as the militia acts, which delineate the organized and unorganized militias. The National Guard and the citizenry respectively. As for individual rights, the incorporation of the bill of rights against the states has been a steady march since the Civil War.

@JadenHalstead @cremieuxrecueil I disagree that it's even a right. The 2A refers to the right to bear arms in the context of militia service. Militias at the time were equivalent to what we would call police forces. The individual right the bear arms was not declared until the Heller decision.

This is a point I want to keep making: Firearm ownership is unrelated to homicide rates. Illegal firearm ownership, however, is strongly related to homicide rates. If you want to cut homicides, arrest illegal gun owners. Send them to jail for possession long before they kill!

@ill_Scholar @lukecaverns The Cocoliztli and smallpox epidemics wiped out 90% of the population of Mexico in the early to mid 1500's. Surely this would qualify? There's a reason Mexico has much larger proportions of European heritage compared to, say, Central America.

But Mexico was never depopulated, a huge portion of the country today is indigenous or a large portion indigenous I agree that depopulation was a factor in succesful conquering, a HUGE one But I think if the diseases were not a factor the conquering just gets delayed And Africa was almost entirely conquered

Look, I admire European civilization as much as anyone, but it’s crazy to think Europeans could’ve conquered the Americas without disease thinning out 90% of the population. Africa alone is a perfect example. Africans already had immunity to many old world diseases, & so Africa could never truly be conquered—there are just too many natives to control that kind of landmass.

Why Nations Fail very specifically, famously does not answer this question. Bad institutions, extractive institutions make countries fail. How do you make "good institutions"? How do you create a culture that's high trust, low crime, law abiding, willing to rely on the state for justice rather than themselves and their networks? This has been the decades long critique of WNF to the point that it's been the subject of memes. It doesn't explain how to make good institutions beyond them being "inclusive and not extractive" which are necessary preconditions but nowhere near the whole picture.
