Pallas cat works too!

The nice thing about science is that it can reevaluate studies, correct mistakes, make new discoveries… Science-based medicine is not and will never be perfect, but has the potential to get better and better. Methods not proven by science to be beneficial are not trustworthy, and it doesn’t matter whether they’re viewed as part of mainstream or alternative medicine.

Chiropractors still use the ghost-taught tricks. Doctors moved on to use scientifically proven practices. They are not the same.

Perhaps it would be better to try to compare European and US knowledge of Africa - that’s neutral ground.

Europeans do learn the location of the states at school though. It might not stick with everyone, but we are expected to know it.

So what depth are we talking about?

But we do know the states, right? I remember my highschool friend not being alowed to go to a party unless she told her dad which states were neighbors of Burundi.

Europeans learn about countries all around the world, though, not just European ones. States, their capitals, physical geography, natural resources, production and export, a bit of etnography, culture and anything noteworthy. Not everything sticks with everyone, of course, but people here do get quite a good basic overview.

Is this not taught in the US?

Not every woman’s cycle is completely regular though - counting days is good for better chances of having a child, but it’s unreliable if you don’t want one. So I’d say OP should take plan B anyway.

And serenity is nowhere to be found.

Well, at least we all know they’re very smooth ;)

But it’s not, so you need blueberries to be able to stack waffles reliably.

I’m not sure the object’s particles are the observable parts though. When a photon bumps into your table and then into your eye, allowing you to see the table, does it bump directly into the table particles, or does it interact with the particles’ field?

Why even have a waffle at all, let’s drink the syrup!

It holds blueberries very well too!

Self image has been destroyed by both social and classic media under any regime - I’m pre-social media and my self image was just as bad. But yeah, I agree that social media carry the torch now.

My cat can’t maintain eye contact while doing that, because her whole head is buried in the flower.

Ha, never new Pikachu design was based on Cleese!

Unfortunately it is now a world-wide problem. What are you going to do about it?

Me too, but it’s not the only thing in life I like doing. I’d love to have more time to spend with my family, more time to do music, to do hikes in nature, more time to devote to theatre, to play with my cats, to learn languages, to do sports, more time to meet my friends and other nice people, more time to learn math, physics, anthropology and etymology… I don’t have it. I have some limited time that I can give to gardening and very limited space (a large balcony).

I’d love to live several lives, alas, I have just this one and have to divide my time and prioritize. If you’ve seen Everything everywhere all at once - that’s a film that resonated with me greatly.
