Were Mods an American thing as well?

Yes. This is a British group. Carnaby Row was the centre for that style of design. cf. Austin Powers.

That particular group were called “The Fool”. They were costume designers whose clients included the Beatles.

I’m pretty sure it’s something.

An entire Moscow Mule? This is dangerously edgy.

I know your paper route may not have crises Jordan, but some businesses do.

I’m a scholar. It means not pulling stuff from your ass and citing your sources.

Technology can therefore be defined both as an ensemble of deliberately created processes and objects that together accomplish some function as well as the associated knowledge and skills used in the conception, design, implementation, and operation of such technological artifacts.

Start with your silly claim that “advertising”, as you define it, occurred 30,000 years ago. Any non-suppositional evidence please.

What are you even on about? Persuasion is not advertising. And in the absence of a material culture for advertising, there is literally no basis for the 30,000 year claim. This is pure nonsense and the worst kind of bullshit.

Advertising is not a technology and there is no evidence that advertising occured 30,000 years ago. That time period predates capitalism, products and competition among manufacturers, and written language.

Go fuck yourself. This is someone who was a child when he watched his friends die to a school shooter. And then faced the worst that the rightwing noise machine could throw at him as they accused him of being a crisis actor and denied that the event happened at all. He has been attacked by politicians and media since before his voice changed. So fuck off with your milquetoast judgments about how something seems a bit “off” with his public persona.

There are a whole lot of sexploitation horror films that would fit the bill.

Neuroscience and basically no time limit. 50 marks in a 3 hour night class and I tell them I’ll stay as long as they need.

You wouldn’t believe how difficult they are to mark. The basic skills of penmanship and sentence construction have fallen through the floor. 20% of students in my last class didn’t even attempt the short answer section on an exam that was otherwise multiple choice.

Japan, the EU, and Canada together hold 3 trillion in US debt and they are flexing that muscle. https://deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-checkmate-how-canadas-quiet

Bad faith is the term. IANAL but I’ve been married to two of them. “Bad faith argument” for the action, “acting in bad faith” for the actor. It captures the idea of appearing to comply with procedure and orders, but deliberately misconstruing meanings and inventing ambiguities to justify actions. A gentler version of this is “sharp practice” which comes close to, but doesn’t cross the line into bad faith.

I don’t know man. From here I think it could be feet.
