It does not have to be your cup of tea, but for the record, reading math does not require being smart so much as being patient.

What would you propose as an alternative?

Out of curiosity did your endocrinologist have any theories why this disruption between messaging and production was occurring?

I can’t remember if she had a theory or not beyond what I said, only that the additional tests did not identify the cause as being something else going wrong that could be treated directly, leaving testosterone supplementation as the best option.

They’re not assuming anything, they are doing calculus.

He sold his first software before it was even finished to his own unuversity.

What drives me crazy is when I hear this fact being cited as a positive thing that makes him a role model.

If it’s explicitly consensual then it’s not cheating because you are not breaking any understood rules of the relationship.

In particular, if one’s testosterone level is low, then the next step is to see an endocrinologist. They will run an additional battery of tests to trace down exactly what is going wrong. In my case, they essentially concluded that my brain was sending out the correct signal, but it was not driving the correct response, so they prescribed a once a month injectable medication to supplement it directly.

No, if your testosterone level is low then it can definitely affect energy levels, so it is worth checking up on it. The “late night TV bullshit” only starts if the test says your testosterone is within the normal range for your age, but you decide to supplement it anyway.

We will as soon as Elon Musk turns Tesla around and earns his contractual trillion dollar payout as a reward!

I was confused by their response too, but now it looks like they just accidentally clicked the reply button on the wrong comment.

Yeah, I may be the only person who genuinely enjoyed Episode 8, but I happen to enjoy solitude!

I absolutely love Epsiode 9 and have watched it several times (generally in the background, mind you) because it feels like the creators decided to give up on making an actually good movie and instead double down on camp.

I mean, come on, not only does Palpatine return, but the first quote of the movie is:

The dead speak! The galaxy has heard a mysterious broadcast, a threat of REVENGE in the sinister voice of the late EMPEROR PALPATINE.

Absolute camp gold.

Edit: If you strike my comment down, it shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

I have no problem with them going around me when space opens up; I have a problem with them doing unsafe things, such as tailgating me until space opens up to pass me and then rushing past with narrow margins, especially when the result is that they only gain a couple of car lengths and just end up tailgating the car in front of me instead.

I do use adaptive cruise control. Mysteriously, this does not cause the car in front of me to drive any faster.

Sure, but either you can pass, in which case you should do that, or you cannot; in either case, tailgating doesn’t help.

I regularly have people tailgate me when I am driving only 75 mph in a 65 mph area, despite the fact that the person ahead of me is driving the same speed as me so I could not drive any faster even if I wanted to. Fortunately the situation is usually resolved as soon as enough space opens up in the neighboring lane that they can dart past me and tailgate the car in front of me instead.

Generally when one refers to a country as being “occupied”, the implication is that the people there are poor off as a result, especially relative to a neighboring country whose land is presumably being considered occupied, which in this case is implicitly North Korea due to the history of how the two countries split. It is therefore not in bad faith to directly ask whether the people there are better or worse off as a result.

You also seem to be hyper-fixated on one possible meaning of prosperous, which is “wealth and GDP”, when there are lots of other means related to flourishing in general. The original commenter was perfectly free to provide an answer along the lines of, “North Korea is the more prosperous country because X.” where X is a list of ways in which the people there are flourishing, and this would have been a valid answer (if not necessarily a correct one).

Alternatively, if they think that South Korea is better off but this does not matter because it is still less ethical than North Korea, then they could have taken the opportunity to be up front about that.

So in short, this question could have been used in all sorts of ways to provide an answer that clarified the commenter’s position. It is a shame that we never heard from them exactly what their thoughts were.

If it makes you feel better, you are emphatically not my enemy. 😀

I didn’t say the people of South Korea are being subjugated.

Quote the comment that started all of this:

Is anyone really surprised one of the biggest companies in occupied korea would do this??

I acknowledge that this is not your comment, but you stepped in and answered a question directed at this person, so you should not act so surprised that you have become associated with their position, especially since you continue to work really hard to do everything except actually state your own opinion, except insofar that “everything is too complicated for anyone to have an opinion” counts as an opinion.
