It probably wouldn't be allowed under an authoritarian government though...

I went to stay a couple of months in the US and of course I brought my reusable bag to the übermarket. The cashier didn't want to fill it. She insisted to use single-use bags :|

Overeating is bad for sleep, isn't it?

One of the good humans yes, according to the story's morals

Ah then we agree, there was certainly so shift to the meaning of the phrase!

Uh, not really. In the story, a Jew gets injured and multiple Jews pass by without helping. Samaritans are enemies to the Jews, but the good Samaritan helps. A good Samaritan is someone that has no reason to help but still does out the goodness of their heart.

They are not my standards. Describing reality does not mean you're happy about it. And yeah, that's sexism, patriarchy, whatever you want to call it.

There is a social context that makes gender-swapping not entirely symmetrical. Men and women are not treated equally by a large portion of the population. These differences in treatment have repeating patterns and tendencies that create a bias that does not average out.

Just to be clear, both men and women suffer from these biases. Think "provide for family", "parental leave", "children custody", "real men don't cry" for men. Women get the short end of stick in terms of autonomy and respect though...

Either they're forced or they believe they're forced to drive cars. I'd become insane too.

Sooo, why is the gf on a leash?

That's pretty nice, it's basically additional leave days! I still prefer European style with unlimited sick leave, but you need a certificate from your physician.

Without a doubt! Humans and life in general is uber efficient in terms of energy use. Most of the energy of a car is not directly spent for the work. Work is done when moving mass from a lower to a higher place and accelerating it to a higher speed. But once you have accelerated the mass to the cruise speed, it actually does not require any energy to maintain. Rather, the energy is spent by the car to heat up the air, move it around, wear the road and the tires, and make noise.

We use cars because they are muuuch more powerful than humans, at the cost of wasing a lot of energy. Try to push a car uphill, you won't ever succeed without pullies which makes it even slower. Doesn't matter how efficient you are if you cannot output the minimum power required to overcome friction etc.
