Imo, this is most people with imposter syndrome. The reality is, you just aren’t very good at what you do.

I did not, lol?

Typo. Fixed.

LMFAOO wtf

This is indisputably true and not controversial.

This isn’t a map of ethnicities and breast size. It is a map of country and breast size. Pretty much all countries have multiple ethnicities. The fact that you bring up ethnicity at all is weird, since this is clearly just an obesity map with some random chaos mixed in.

If I were to guess the answer to your question, my guess would be obvious - black people, since being black corrolates with being poor, and being poor corrolates with being fat.

That place doesn’t exist

That’s because you are ignoring all the fat women.

I also assume that the OP graphic is running into serious issues in its data collection. Looks like it is basically an obesity map, with a sprinkling of pure random chaos thrown in.

Main factors in female breast size:

1. Being female
2. Being fat

As the infographic says, breast size often corrolates with being fat. Americans are fat. Hence the dark color of the US on the map.

1. Have hobbies, interests, or work that interests you, which can be done with other people.
2. Search for groups, spaces, or jobs in your area that do those things. If none exist, make a group/space and advertise it somehow.
3. Consistently attend regularly scheduled gatherings.
4. Talk about things other than the thing sometimes when you get together.
5. Do this for a while. You now have friends.

Note that this works best when the activity requires some kind of teamwork, group effort, communication, or shared work/suffering.

Exactly. Markets solve all sorts of problems, big and small.

It’s obvious that this is not the most important underlying cause, as other countries which are less auto oriented are also quite fat.

Why do I need UBI and wages if I can just claim a vacant apartment and be guaranteed power/telecom, of which their are millions nationally?

Because almost all of those homes are vacant for a reason. They are in disrepair, or under renovations, or actively looking for someone to occupy them, etc. Of course, there are some places in rural Kansas which are just vacant - but then, these are already dirt cheap. Iirc, there are some towns which will give you the house for free if you live there for X number of years.

So let’s say anyone can request a residence for free from the government if they would like. What happens? Well, first of all, all vacant housing stock immediately disappears in almost all places because - all things being equal - most people would prefer to live alone, rather than living with their family (when they are an adult) or with roommates. And the government can’t force people to live with someone they don’t like - that’s a political non-starter - so if someone ends up residing in a 5 bedroom house, they can just keep rejecting potential roommates the government sends their way. If your goal was to end homelessness, this market trend will immediately stymie your goal - you will still need to build more housing, which will take more time, and people will still be homeless.

Meanwhile, it becomes agonizingly difficult to move anywhere. Want to move to a new city? Well, you’ll be on a years-long waiting list to find a place to live. If it is a city that a lot of people want to live in, then the waiting list will just perpetually keep getting longer. Want to move out of your parents house? You’ll need to find a friend who already has a place, or get on a years-long waiting list.

What if you have special needs, like you are wheelchair bound? Now you need to wait even longer for a place which is wheelchair accessible. Sure, the government might prioritize such cases - but what about cases that don’t neatly fit in a box? Suppose you have a best friend who needs help looking after their child. You want to help out, but you live on the other side of the city, an hour away. So you can never help your friend as much as you want because of the commute, and their child will be grown by the time you could get a place closer to them.

Markets are good because they force people to make choices that balance their desires against everyone elses, which creates a highly efficient mechanism for rationing scarce resources like housing. So people can live alone if they want, or find roommates to save money if they want. They can spend more to live in a hip neighborhood if they want, or spend less to live in a cheaper neighborhood. They can decide how much they value not walking up stairs every day, and choose to pay more for an apartment with an elevator or on the ground floor.

Y’all need Georgism.

Those are all things I typically wouldn’t buy, because they are too processed for me. I’d buy an uncooked ham, no bread from an American grocery store, apples, and plain natural unsweetened yogurt.

Your examples are weird.

Guess what, I didn’t have friends then

Easy A for me, except when i’m forced to write by hand.

Okay - I’m sorry your nerd muscles were so weak you couldn’t even hold a pencil.

But regardless of your personal shortcomings, these classes exist because they teach useful things, and if we want to tell others who did and did not learn those useful things in this class, we need a way to test that knowledge.

Now, it seems like your point of view is that all the knowledge and experience of a university education is useless anyway. This is a point of view I have some sympathy towards, but on the whole I don’t think it is right. However, if you do, then why the fuck arent you filthy rich yet? If you know so well what people need to know to be successful and well educated for the next 30 years, and you think you know how they should learn, and you know how you can evaluate their abilities after receiving an education - then why aren’t you doing that and raking in the billions of dollars that go into university education right now?

So go do that. Tell me when you make your first million. But until then, I’m gonna assume that the foundational western liberal education has value, seeing as it has persisted for quite a while. LLMs on the other hand, may very well turn out to be a fad of the summer.

I would like to petition /c/News to ban all PsyPost links, as they are universally clickbait garbage.

No you don’t get it. The AI is taking hard working shitposter’s jobs! This is an atrocity!

Those are all very nice ideas, and we’ll see if they pan out in the future. But universities need ways to stop (or, fine, reduce) cheating that can be implemented right now. A class in English literature and composition should test how well you can read and interpret the source material to then express something about it in your own words in a coherent way. This is a useful life skill to have, and students should learn to do it without AI assistance. Giving them a pen and paper and a quiet room to work in has been a good enough method of assessment for at least the last 50 years which is reasonably cost effective.

Yes, there are problems with standardized testing. Yes, you can cheat on a paper test. But the way to improve the evaluation process is to first establish a stable baseline, and then try new things that might work better to see if they actually work better. Not to throw out everything we knew before and haphazardly try every random idea that pops into someone’s head in a panic.

Most likely, statistical variance.
