So im early millenial

Late twenties are insufferable yes

yes

Late twenties Oof.

I was born when sagan died

I'm jealous of whoever owns that setup.

can we trade you to get him back? <:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>

I feel like early twenties at the moment are about 50/50 split

...RIP, to be sharp, your life should’ve been put onto him.

That's not possible. Sagan was black.

Lol

everyone in history was black, the whites just materialized out of nowhere and claimed it all for themselves

Ah, there we go again. You Nazis and your whitewashing of history.

@Mal lol what are you reading the root?

china? what's that

I want to understand why China invents so little.

Lol no idea.

They have supposedly high IQs.

they have mountains of terrible research

because it's cheaper to copy

Are we just not well read enough?

I am going to learn Chinese and find out.

No, they’re too busy in their social credit system atm.

They’ll only benefit their country.

99% of the chemistry research I've used from China lied about their yields

I'm going to ask StackExchange.

Culture of honesty is different?

as a chemistry student myself i totatly believe that

I luckily haven't had to use any for years

but it would come as little surprise if it was still the same

China is very corrupt politicaly, so that results into corruption in all fields

if you need to use some of their research, make sure you have a backup plan

I am getting very conflicting answers.

I don't know where StackExchange's political bias is.

In objective areas, they are usually top notch.

Politics? Not so sure.

well he wants to end term limits soooooo

I have a feeling the Chinese public will start questioning their government once their economy slows down enough

I have seen some answers being upvoted just for the virtue signaling in it.
