He was killed in an error tho but lived in Roman Empire.

Many Greeks were part of Roman empire, what difference does it make?

>Is being a student so hard in India that failing an exam causes people to commit suicide?

Yes because there are limited opportunities.

Instead of spending money in creating more opportunities, government likes to spend money in forcing students to compete against each other for limited opportunities and this creates a dynamic where you neither trust others and are always eager to throw others under the bus including yourself.

Surprisingly, the parents of these students cheer these competition inducing practises to prove how their kid is better than other kids.

Instead India will benefit from opening centers where anyone can go and learn whatever skill they want to learn.

Anyone should be able to learn how to build a bridge then have his skills and knowledge tested when he actually wants to build bridge for other people.

But in India first you compete for learning how make bridge, then you compete for job then you compete to stay in job.

I'd love to know why I got downvoted.

CCP above all care about their own power then comes China's interest.

I simply posted why they might not want democracy. As they might fear about losing power.

If we assume democracy does good, but it still makes CCP lose power then it's not good for CCP and they'll not want it.

If democracy will actually be good or bad, that's open discussion. But that's not point of my comment.

Yes that's right.

*I mean the Germanic tribes in North ate meat everyday.

Why the Downvotes? Anyone wants to challenge these facts, please post rebuttal. I'd love to educate myself more.

>Romans after all, which likewise produced little (not none) new math.

They had Archimedes of Syracuse

Romans culturally ate less meat and frowned upon their Northern Germanic Tribes who almost always ate meat. They were more frugal in their way of life.

The Germanic Tribes were also taller and were acknowledged by Romans as formidable warrior.

Culturally tho, Romans were South Europeans and assimilated what we call South Italy and Greece now.

They also captured parts of middle east but culturally they never became Romans.

>3. ... And where the dominant religion is still the Roman state religion. Which was lorded over by the Roman state church for a thousand years before an angry German monk suggested that this was really weird and could we keep the book and get rid of the pope.

There were other Pagan religions at the time and in middle east Jews didn't accept Roman state religion.

But then again, people born in Roman Empire got Roman citizenship on Birth so it didn't matter what you were culturally or religiously or tribe/ethnicity.

I think you mean that stealing a cure to some disses isn't bad?

It's just a concept shoe made from spider silk. There can be many more application.

It's biodegradable (I guess) so probably we can use it to replace plastics.

Instead of plastic or metal or wood, we might end up using proteins.

My female friends complain they are hit on by taxi drivers or waiters and acknowledged that sometimes they've reacted pretty badly to their advances and based on what i gathered from their talks, they want a financially well off guy who looks average or slightly better but these are women in their 30s.

While I've some other female friends much younger, they've acknowledged they've rediculed or even got restraining order against few guys who looked bad and their approach came across as hostile based on their looks not behaviour. They often tell me that guys chasing money and career are pretty boring to them and they want more adventurous guys who doesn't care much about money. In short, what I've understood they want very good looking men.

Tho I am from East Asia but I look middle eastern and girls told me I look pretty evil and terrorist. And most girls I been with only liked blonde with blue eye dude with long hair. And money didn't even make it easy for me to attract good girls who want long term relationship.

I did attract the ones who I didn't want to attract and it caused me a lot of problem in life but nevermind, I've moved on and now I've a stable relationship.

No because "hope for better always exists".

If some new party comes and aims at the weak spots of CCP like censorship etc...etc... And promises that we'll keep economy as fast as CCP does minus the personal freedom restrictions. People will vote for them.

And new party might even attempt this and take economy several years back.

Democracy will include lots of selling hopes and setbacks...it takes time to learn new lessons for public

Didn't they stop child porn? Now it can be found no where on Internet, not even on darknet.

So what makes you say it can't be stopped?

No it's not.

Actually during time of first emperor in Asia, we've proof of European DNA present at the sites were terracotta army was made.

Secondly, if you go to north India - you find plenty of people with European features (mostly Greek features to be specific)

People knew about India and if they did come to India, it would have been impossible to not hear about Himalayas.

Unfortunately you are right. But what can be done? There are dry PTFE lubricants available in market and they work so well compared to traditional Grease in dusty environment that I don't see people giving up these.

How effectively we can seperate microplastics?

Yesterday I was playing around with some PTFE nanopowder and mixed it with achohol and applied it on my mountain bike chain.

I am wondering if I throw this powder in river, are water cleaning units able to remove nano particles from the water? Not that I am going to do this, just curious.

I am interested in producing music but is there any book which can you teach you from scratch.

When I lived in Europe, I always drank bottled mineral water.

I wonder what will be the effect of this move.

Are wages going to shoot up immediately because of labor shortage?

What does it mean to a student who is in the UK for studies and wants to work for an English company immediately after graduation? Will they've to move back to their own country?

Who is going after them? I've seen a lot of them working based on referral and pretending to offering services like consultancy.

I buy recycled 3d printing filament and use it for printing stuff I used around my house. The recycled plastic so far seems strong enough for my purpose.

You can always pay in gift card, gold or some other thing like bitcoin.

Also, many escorts I've seen accept credit cards and it's mostly appears on your card statement as "XYZ Entertainment".

I've high IQ but I don't struggle neither I've difficulty dealing with anyone, even toddlers are very interesting to me.

Also i don't see IQ is as good metric to gauge anyone's intelligence. It measures something but that's all about it, it doesn't measure intelligence as whole.

There is no special knowledge being fed to me automatically other than recognizing some common patterns across varied things which i do often.

I don't think IQ makes me any different than any other person.

I am pretty well off yes, not super successful like many others but I've easy life.

I moved from South East Asia to US to India. Despite average IQ difference between these countries, I don't feel it as personal level even when I interact with random people on street.

Let's say an event occurs and you know a particular stock will go up 20% but you pump enough money into the stock to make the stock go 30% and then you let others chase the stock and publish news about this market move through media houses / content spamming / fake accounts. Then you short the stock once you get the desired movement and finally you remove the money from this stock so it goes into free fall and all people start selling. Finally, you close the short position when you notice there is no room for stock going further down. Now let's say stock ended up at 10% so you buy more stock so it goes 15% just below what you initially predicted.

Assuming you've billions to move the stock.

Why such strategy will not work?

But what's the rationale behind keeping meat price low.

We know meat can be easily substituted with plant based diet, so no one will starve.

Meat processing is also resource intensive (for example, it needs large amount of water).

We need to price in externalities, even the methane gas released by cattles should be calculated and put on the prices of meat as a tax.

Younger people's understanding of how world works and what a person is like comes entirely from the internet.

The moment you try to break out of your internet and go meet new people, it frustrates the hell out of you that life isn't as cool and people aren't as witty as they are on internet.

And you start thinking maybe you aren't with right people, so you try to meet the cool people from internet in real-life and it's again same. The same people you enjoy on internet, you can't tolerate them for even an hour in person.

What internet portrays is only a part about a person (which they've edited then edited and then edited again).

What we assume life is like a Hollywood movie and yes retakes frustrate the hell out of us but life is actually the retakes.

I've also seen that people are losing ability to tolerate each other in relationship.

Every relationship advice offered on internet sounds like, "he is abuser, breakup now" and people are assumed as perfect who make one mistake and they have to be walked out of your life.

There is also rise of movements like Femminism and MGTOW.

A lot of females are now career focused and have no time to maintain relationship. A few are able to manage both at once. But many come out for dating when they are in 30s and they are confused like "I am educated and indepdent girl, why guys aren't interested in me". Men don't seem to value a women with career as much as females would like, they find it favourable yes but it's extremely weak.

Sometimes back I read in study that younger couples have more attractive kids and the kids who are product of love marriage are more attractive than those of arranged marriage.

Now, I can see why it could be that because when we are younger we are more superficial, we are more optimistic, more shallow and as we've less disappointments under our belt (due to less experience) we aim for most good looking and those who are able to succeed (maybe because they are themself good looking?), obviously end up with good looking partner and it can also be possible that reproductive process is better (less errors?) when we are younger.

Women also have very high standards when it comes to dating, they want too 10-15% men in looks and they compete for them. In such system, obviously the men who are in demand will see that they are rare and will exploit the opportunity and many women will be disappointed.

Repeated failures can also lead a person to depression and anxiety.

Plus, lot of people look at Instagram and find perfect looking people and start thinking of themselves as inferior. Attractive people are rare 1 in 1000 looks stunning without makeup or other camera effects. This rate could be higher in developed economies due to proper nutrition received throughout life and better healthcare facilities. It also depends on individual's and their family's awareness. But it's not a hard rule, people marry quite late in developed countries which can lead to unattractive kids.

Just looking at the number of people subscribing to those groups on Reddit, seems alarming.

A lot of people just do what internet tells them to do.

Kids often say, "leave it, you'll not understand" instead of making you understand what their problem truly is.

Nearly everything you put in body like silicone, plastic, titanium have known negative effects.

All the things you mentioned, any exchange student from India will also tell you same and India is a democracy.

You can't hold USD in your account, government ration shops have corruption issue. Quality is also questionable.

It just tells you one thing that the US seems far better from their perspective.

I think the difference is between the one which you can grow Vs the one which you can synthesize.

If you can grow a drug then you need to move it if you can synthesize it locally then there is no need to transport it.

Synthesizing a drug has much smaller footprint so easier to hide the operation Vs growing some drug.
