Good luck with that.

I’m a scholar. It means not pulling stuff from your ass and citing your sources.

Technology can therefore be defined both as an ensemble of deliberately created processes and objects that together accomplish some function as well as the associated knowledge and skills used in the conception, design, implementation, and operation of such technological artifacts.

Start with your silly claim that “advertising”, as you define it, occurred 30,000 years ago. Any non-suppositional evidence please.

What are you even on about? Persuasion is not advertising. And in the absence of a material culture for advertising, there is literally no basis for the 30,000 year claim. This is pure nonsense and the worst kind of bullshit.

Advertising is not a technology and there is no evidence that advertising occured 30,000 years ago. That time period predates capitalism, products and competition among manufacturers, and written language.

Theoden was a baller.

Go fuck yourself. This is someone who was a child when he watched his friends die to a school shooter. And then faced the worst that the rightwing noise machine could throw at him as they accused him of being a crisis actor and denied that the event happened at all. He has been attacked by politicians and media since before his voice changed. So fuck off with your milquetoast judgments about how something seems a bit “off” with his public persona.

There are a whole lot of sexploitation horror films that would fit the bill.

Neuroscience and basically no time limit. 50 marks in a 3 hour night class and I tell them I’ll stay as long as they need.

You wouldn’t believe how difficult they are to mark. The basic skills of penmanship and sentence construction have fallen through the floor. 20% of students in my last class didn’t even attempt the short answer section on an exam that was otherwise multiple choice.

No.

I commute on a 10 year old bike that cost $400 at the time.

It does, but it’s a reason to regulate the market. Otherwise there is minimal incentive to build affordable housing. The margins on luxury housing are just too fat. A developer is better letting half of a luxury setting sit empty than selling out affordable space. Same reason there is so little competition for affordable cars.

That is not the fight we are having now. Preserve the country first. And we weaken ourselves with a minority government.

I’ll take two!

Yes.

Save 10% of your earnings.

This is the same trade deal that the EU negotiated with Obama. Trump refused to sign in 2017. They are only offering him what was on the table 8 years ago and he refused. Calm down already.

I’ve been on the internet since before the web. Those guys have always been there.
