  • The wall thickness and heat isolation vary between the places, but it would probably suffice to say they serve their purpose well in the northernmost regions.

    Kitchens are fairly small, washing machines are commonly installed in the bathroom, and dishwashers are normally not used in them.

    This is not quite genuine.

    Anarcho-capitalists generally don’t like corporations, either, they just believe that the state plays a crucial role in keeping them afloat, through patents, bailouts, and corruption. They commonly believe that without the state, the markets will generally revert to many small individual actors.

    This is unlikely to be true, however, as the economies of scale by themselves heavily reward massive corporations, and private police and military will likely allow them to stronghand their opponents.

    If we are serious about promoting left-wing ideas, we should take our opponents as they are, and not build strawmen for ourselves to ridicule.






  • I’m 128, it’s up to you to decide whether it’s high enough or not.

    Generally, I am successful in my studies and pursue career in science. I am not a high earner, and doing mental work still drains me heavily. I take a few hours of dumb physical work every week to reset. I am more or less satisfied with my life, I do have a romantic partner and generally find it easy to navigate social situations, but I’m introverted and need to recharge. So, you can say I have a high burst productivity all-round, but I’m not good at a long game.

    This is just me though, and one thing to remember is that there is no objective metric for intelligence, and it can be divided in many different ways. Some people are great at solving math problems, but are dead stupid in social situations. Some go vice versa. Some have a gift for certain areas of knowledge or skills where they are way above average, while having underwhelming performance with the rest.

    For example, I excel at disciplines that require me to connect many diverse data points (my area of interest is microbiology), but I’m not that good at following logic through many layers of calculations and linking it back to source (as in physics/math; I’m still able to carry out calculations I need for my work, but it’s exhausting). I acquire language skills quite readily, and have good auditory perception overall, but have high reaction time and struggle driving or doing competitive sports/gaming (no, higher intelligence doesn’t mean faster reaction).

    Overall, I’m just a normal human, fairly smart, fairly capable, but nothing supernatural and sometimes straight up underwhelming.
