I’m just confused as to how that is not common knowledge. The country I speak of is France, and we’re not exactly known for our excellent maths education.

No, it should simply be "Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, addition.
A division is defined as a multiplication, and a substraction is defined as an addition. I am so confused everytime I see people arguing about this, as this is basic real number arithmetics that every kid in my country learns at 12 yo, when movong on from the simplified version you learn in elementary school.

I have answered, and had to put “Other” in employment status because I am self employed. An option for self employment would have been useful in my opinion!

Afraid of what? Replying to what point? Your “shower thought” (lmao) is just a messy thought process of which every single step is based on nothing.
Why would we waste energy discussing consequences of events that will never happen?

Not at all. There is many ways to rationalize time, nothing is settled at all. The “settled theory” you talk about would create paradoxes, if time travel is ever made real. And paradoxes don’t work well with reality.
There is actually a fairly common way to rationalize time that is the opposite of what you’re describing: Time is entirely a construct, there is no past, no future, only the present. Take away all of humanity’s memories and the last doesn’t exist at all.
There’s also an understanding of time that says it only goes forward, making time travelling to the past impossible.

It’s not like we actually know how time travel would work. Because, you know, it’s not currently a thing at all.
- Comment on YSK that in 16 States in the USA has banned Ranked-Choice voting, including 5 that has just banned it in 2025, and 6 of those bans happened in 2024. 1 week ago:
It still shouldn’t be banned, it should be up for debate when picking a system. Explicitely banning a system is pretty much anti-democratic by nature.

Nothing screams “democracy” like explicitely banning a voting system
