Due to the curves-neoteny tension, when you emphasize youthfulness you tend to de-emphasize curves and vice versa. If Jeff and Ghizzy's pals wanted to emphasize youthfulness in fashionable beauty standards, a deemphasis of curves would follow.
Americans are being ripped off by low taxes. Wait - LOW taxes? Yes, low taxes.
Healthcare costs are skyrocketing to a significant extent because the US is insisting on a weird private insurance model instead of just taxing.
Building energy code is forcing huge costs on new...
homes that are very inefficient with respect to their stated goals. If reducing carbon is the goal, it would be cheaper and more cost effective just to build cleaner power plants instead of overregulating construction.
The results of the above are wasteful and clear for all to see. Thus, they erode trust in government. The irony is that this distrust makes Americans want to insist even harder on not solving these problem through taxation.
In other words, psychological lock-in, to a bad system.
Ideal tropical design that is extremely energy efficient - but illegal in America because the windows are not double-glazed. Very stupid energy code.
You probably don't believe me, so here's Grok. American performance modeling assumes no ventilation from windows and requires them to be double-glazed instead (unnecessary, expensive).
American performance modeling ALSO doesn't reward good building geometry.
This is a travesty and makes no sense in ANY state.
The large majority of men can never be fully satisfied with their relationships if their women don't make explicit efforts to please them. But it has now become a point of modern ideology that women should never make such efforts. The result is predictable. What's in it for men?
Let me explain further. Human nature is such that when all things are equal, men experience more desire and women experience more pleasure. This observation goes back to the ancient Greeks. We don't notice this unless we pay explicit attention to it. Why?
Markets are driven by desire, not pleasure. In fact, markets often fail to serve pleasure and instead create pain. Consider consumerism. People buy things that don't bring them enough pleasure to justify the expense. They have a craving similar to an addiction.
Men never disliked dyed hair for fundamental reasons. It's common in artistic representations of very attractive women. They disliked it because they associated it with bad personalities and bad politics. So as soon as Amelia changes that, they're good to go.
Also, more chokers please.

Can AI answer the oldest question in the world? In this sciencey thread we're going to find out.👇
Let's start with some peer-reviewed data. Everyone loves peer reviewed data!🧪
So, apparently men typically last 10-20 seconds while women last 20-60.
Ok, seems reasonable at first blush.
But... you might have noticed those numbers are different. By a factor of almost THREE.
Hmm...
I was a bit surprised by this so I asked ChatGPT to check the data three different times in two different sessions. And, it came up with very similar answers each time.
