I'm not OP
Okay, then don't try answering a question directed at him them, especially when that answer is going to be deliberately stupid.
Directed to him by your mind. Can I read your mind? Please stop acting silly. The question was objectively open. Stupid questions warrant stupid answers. You've only yourself to blame for being so indirect.

That's my idea of a joke.

It has a punchline, and you use your mind.

If you were to learn 10 information units - and every unit holds a word - every second for 100 years, you'd still only use about 1/10 of your brain's capacity. Therefore people who say that they don't want to learn, because they don't want to forget what they already know are at fault.

Fun fact: A guy with "the perfect memory" tries to forget things by writing down notes that contain every single word in essay length, if needed.

This is interesting and all, but don't quote me verbatim.

How is #5 related to economics?
Society

If you make it that broad, then everything falls under economics.
You said related, and society is related to it. I'm not OP, I was simply answering your question with a valid answer.

Next time specify if you want a specific kind of answer.

Damn, I really don't want to buy diamonds for anyone, but it seems like society will completely look down on me if I don't. Why has it come to this? Stupid De Beers or w/e they're called

Is this a product of our society, or a primal thing? edit: Societal thing. The kid didn't even know what diamonds were, and showed me fake diamonds (plastic/something that doesn't look like diamonds).

The only value in diamonds are that they're hard; they represent time, and effort; investment in the receiver; as well as that they do in fact sparkle.

Some say that it's because it's natural, which I don't understand, but then again, I don't understand when people think it's sad that instead of signalling my wrist for the time, I make a clicking action as if I'm holding a phone. It's impressive how far technology has come if anything. Same thing goes for children using computers. It can be good if done responsibly, and the parents are at fault if it's not done so.

You would first have to acquire a sense of humour.

Rock-Paper-Scissors

Perfectly balanced, free, no additional dlc, no required console, no patches needed, fantastic control scheme

Prove me wrong
there's no skill involved
just rudimentary mindgames

however, i came up with a variation back in elementary school that was actually kinda fun

basically, me and two other friends would be on r/p/s "teams"
team rock, team paper, team scissors

if you were on team rock, for example, that didn't mean you could only play rock--you could still play normally
but the only difference was that if you won a game by playing rock, you would get 2 points instead of 1

and losses would result in a single point loss, regardless of what you played
if you played your team's object and lost, however, you would lose two points

and we did something like, first to 10 points wins

the games never got anywhere (because we factored in point deficits, ie. you could have a negative number of points if you lost that often), but we made it so games were concurrent--we never forgot about our scores and we would just continue where we left off whenever we wanted to play again

we had it going for about two or three months before we got bored of it
Loss aversion and commitment are a bad mix, so a brilliant game imo.

Not sure why you think you're so in tune with what America needs when you don't even live here.
I was gonna question him about that in the other thread, too, but then I figured that most people in America don't even know what America needs, so... I'd wager that Meta's probably more in-tune with American politics than most Americans are.
Not sure why you think you're so in tune with what America needs when you don't even live here.
Sweet.

I'll be watching out for anything you say about Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Syria, China, Russia, the Ukraine or any other country for that matter.

But I'm fairly sure even you know that the fact you aren't geographically located in a country doesn't put you at some kind of disadvantage, and instead you're just trying to defend your political candidate on some narrow, shallow and ill-thought-out basis.

If one person were to be present and vote stop war, would that happen?

Why not? What's the point of congress then?

also who?

Answer: Candidate for president?

9. The impact of MTV's "16 and pregnant" on teenage pregnancy

Phillip Levine and Melissa Kearney drew on Google and Twitter trends, and found that searches and tweets about birth control and abortion spiked when the show was being aired and in areas where it was popular. They found that the show resulted in a 5.7pc reduction in teen pregnancies between June 2009 and the end of 2010, which can account for 33pc of the total reduction in teen pregnancy during this period.
No one ever expected something good to come from watching MTV. I thought they were just exploiting dumbass kids this whole time. Very sneaky MTV.
God bless 'em

Of course that's why I do it. I'm an econ student.

Efficiency is my thing.
I already assumed that you used multiplication. In the real life scenario, I specifically said something along the lines of "2 times 5 eh? not familiar with multiplication", and then you delete it and write that you multiplied 2 and 5
