This is Korea, so the answer is probably "work overtime".
Henry Cavill is hot because he’s tall and has a great face, if he had the physique of a runner or something it would make minimal difference, that was my point.
I don't think this is true. He's got a large, wide frame that he'd continue to have even if he had a runner's physique, and women like large frames. If he was about a foot wide in the shoulders nobody would think he's attractive.
John Hamm is a good example of this. He's a handsome guy and looks good in a suit because he's got a large frame. His actual physique is similar to a sack of potatoes, but it just doesn't matter (yes, it never even began for framecels).

This is like the unscissor statement. Whether you're unvaccinated or still masking, you can agree on the above.

RAM exists to be used, and the app developer should humbly realize that the user (this is about the user, right?) may have a use for that RAM and therefore optimize the software.

Why return a lost wallet when it belongs to someone you don’t know, and you’re not going to get social credit for doing the right thing anyway?
You could ask the same question of people in Tokyo who do return wallets.
Collapsing this to a question of incentives is missing the point entirely. People who return wallets are not following incentives because the incentive is always to defect.
Or on the negative end, who in your area knows or cares if you never contribute to society?
The Japanese literally have several words for the different gradations of these people.
Your model of high trust societies seems lacking.

The peak of US crude oil production seems to have been a few months ago, but as far as I can tell "wtf happened in 1971" style rhetoric is still in full effect.

It's premature to talk about differences in quality before it's even on the market.
For that matter, if it's so much worse, there's no need to ban it.

voice acting is a mistake
That's crazy. Games like e.g. TF2 were made iconic in part due to their voice acting. I can't even imagine it without VA.

Why do we need an explanation for how free will works mechanistically? Scientists are unable to even explain how consciousness or qualia arise from calcium gradients between nerve cells, yet just about everyone agrees that consciousness and qualia are real. The old "qualia as emergent phenomenon" number is simply handwaving.
It's absurd to demand a mechanistic explanation for free will when almost no part of our daily subjective experience has a mechanistic explanation.

This is doubly so if the Tyrants form a pact saying they'll vote in favour of the policies of any of their fellow tyrants who was killed for politically motivated reasons (which they have an incentive to form as none of them wants to be assassinated).
Simply kill the tyrants you agree with.
That the Roman religion was of the capricious hunter gatherer type despite the regimentation of Roman society casts some doubt on this interpretation. The traditional Chinese religion likewise seems to lack a central authority.

the sheer idea that their performative ascetism is moot must gnaw at their bones (veganly).
It's a little confusing to read this when it's not the vegans that are passing bans on lab grown meat.

Personally, I subscribe to the conspiracy theory that the oil price is manipulated by middle eastern government actors.

You are missing out on the fact that nobody will know if you don't return the wallet in Japan. Japan is even more urbanized than the US (90%+). Most people live in huge cities where they are just as atomized as any rich low trust society. That's why old people die in their apartments and are not discovered until the stink of their decomposing bodies makes them known.
As for NEETs, until 2004 the US had higher prime age labor force participation rate than Japan. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.ACTI.ZS?locations=JP-US
I guess Japan invented social shaming for NEETs 20 years ago?

If we are assuming omniscient tyrants we can probably simplify the system a bit.

I can turn off my thermostat from bed if I forgot to do it before turning in
-
I can have my lamp gradually turn on and brighten before I need to wake up, which is nicer than the alarm

The soviets didn't even manage to secularize the chechens, so I am skeptical that they could secularize a foreign population.

Of course it helps the government are subsidizing migrants to the tune of $350 per day, or $127,750 per year per migrant which would launch them almost into the top 10% of earners in the United States.
Technically this is spending per household (despite the media rarely lying). That's only the 73rd percentile of household income in the US.

I'm pretty sure you're the guy who's ban evaded ten times.
It can't be, he's assured us that he has little sympathy for the far right (before launching into four paragraphs of standard far right talking points).

Freeways and industrial zones at least produce something of value in addition to their negative externalities.
In any case, there's a reasonable argument that cities already spend too much land on cities and industrial zones. Adding a third kind of nuisance zone seems like a step backwards, especially since there's no obvious reason to put one in every city if you're blocking it off anyway.

It does "work" although it might not be at the granularity you want it to be as SF said.
I found it remarkable that she fully offloaded any responsibility from women for the status quo. They are all being forced to have all this sex with strangers by the men and the media and have zero accountability themselves.
Little by little she comes to agree with what her mother taught her. Her onlyfans career is perhaps best viewed as a way to continue her rebellion without a cause.
