  • I think the shopping cart theory needs to be a bit more fleshed out.

    I had assumed it meant people leaving carts all over the parking lot, not right at the exit of the store. The problem is that carts being all over the lot often block spaces or can roll into people’s cars and damage them. If the cart is left right at the exit, those problems go away. It’s also very quick and easy for employees to grab them there. If the customer isn’t parked out in the lot, it wouldn’t make sense for them to be expected to take the cart farther away from the store just so that an employee can bring it right back.






  • Pardon my ignorance, but aren’t the skulls often shaped a bit differently? If the textbook was just showing that and not saying something about one shape making a certain race superior, is that still a problem?

    Different races will often have little differences right? My favorite example is the gene variant ABCC11 that is extremely common in South Korea. It limits the production of odorous sweat by reducing the activity of apocrine glands. I think it also affects whether ear wax is wet or dry. I’m kind of jealous of that one and am waiting for CRISPR to be available for it. Well maybe not, but I’d at least think about it.

    I think you’re getting stuck on the “game over” part. This by itself does mean “the end of something” But “start over” is a separable phrasal verb that means “to begin again”. So you can say “Let’s start over” or “Let’s start the game over”.

    I always felt a little bad for ESL students who just discovered phrasal verbs because they’re basically a whole new set of often nonsensical verbs to learn.

    Nah those NFTs are way stupider. Making actually good looking AI art without any oddities can take several hours once you really get into the intricacies and often still needing something like Photoshop for finishing. I’m referring to Stable Diffusion. Others like DALLE-E and MidJourney are basically just the prompt.
