I don’t know to what extent causation has been established here though

I am familiar with the research. We don’t know the reason for nearsightedness. There is no known proven causation. It is likely there are different causes for it.

Being from a sunny country lowers the chance of it (so you’re less likely to be nearsighted if you’re from Spain compared to Norway), even when controlled for hours spent outdoors.

Depression is a bit of catch-all term. Considering that some forms are immune to certain drugs, but not the other, or that for some kinds therapy works better (or worse) - it is very likely that when we learn more about depression, we will type it like diabetes (depression type 1, type 2 etc).

Thus it is theoretically possible that there is a type of what we currently call depression that can get better with mental effort.

I personally haven’t seen it, but I also haven’t seen Thailand and it still exists :-)

Germany (English article citing German minister presenting the data; I don’t speak German didn’t check the raw source) https://www.dw.com/en/germany-sees-rise-in-sexual-violence-and-youth-offenses/a-72116932#%3A~%3Atext=How+do+Germany’s+crime+figures%2C%2C+were+non-German+suspects.

Please note it’s a bit higher than I wrote, its 5%. 2% was a decade ago.

5% in Poland, 40% in Germany. However the moment they get citizenship in Germany they get classified as German suspects, and you get citizenship after 5 years of living there.

The word and system you’re looking for is the ancient Greek democracy, especially from Athens.

Ancient Greeks believed that government and positions of power must be randomly selected by a machine from a pool of candidates, and that elections are NOT democratic. That elections are always going to be corrupted by the oligarchy.

It definitely would transform to chwiństwa, as that’s how polish words morph. But I see your point.

They would, all diacritics is alt + letter.

China is fucking huge, maybe Rimu was in like a shitty part of it, while you visited somewhere awesome?

I believe China tries to somehow argue its not imperialistic, its multipolar, which honestly is just a spit in the face.

(A very good critique of multipolarism from a far, far far left source can be found here: https://spectrejournal.com/against-multipolar-imperialism/)

A carney mentalist who became a sex pope?
