Same. I still don't know the social script in these scenarios. Do I individually thank everyone for their birthday wishes? Do I thank everyone with one message after it seems like everyone's done? How long do I wait? What if someone jumps in after I do that with a belated happy birthday?

I went the friend-to-romantic-partner route, so it was pretty much just like hanging out with any other friends.

I've had the opposite experience. The older the pasta, the longer it takes to cook. If it cooks faster, that suggests to me that it has absorbed water during storage, which allows harmful bacteria to grow and the pasta might actually be expired.

I've never found Bing chat to match up with the free ChatGPT. It often just refuses to answer my question while ChatGPT will at least take a guess and give me something to work with.

They do not have sales data, so they use two different proxies: number of reviews, and number of active players.

I don't see mention of how they get the number of active players. I'm assuming it's through stats in Steam or something similar. If that's the case, then their assumption of this number being biased towards being larger than the true number would be wrong. If you choose to both pirate and buy the game, chances are good that you'll be playing the pirated version, and therefore would not get counted towards active players.

Same here. That's why I try to stock up on more than I think I'll need when things go on sale.

I can't tell if you're trying to say Alpine skiing is scary or that you're into all the stuff people consider to be extreme sports.

My online persona is definitely different from IRL, and it differs IRL depending on who I'm interacting with. But these are all the real me. My ability to communicate via text is generally better than spoken, so that is reflected in how I write, what I write about, as well as how little I speak in person.

Secondly, in person communication has clearer continuity. If I have multiple conversations with a given person, I learn a bit about them and their communication style, allowing me to adjust how I speak to be better understood by that person. Online, I rarely remember who I'm talking to, so I just write in whatever way feels most natural to me.

The real time nature of in person communication also limits what you can bring up and when. Anything you say requires the other party to respond immediately, and if you recognize that they're not in the mood to think particularly hard, then you don't bring up difficult topics. Online conversations don't come with this kind of information, but it does give you the flexibility to answer whenever you want, or not at all, so many things that I would not deem acceptable in an IRL setting can be acceptable online.

So in summary, different situations do call for different behaviours. But that's not problematic any more than behaving differently at a party and at a funeral is problematic.

If you're blending it up into a powder anyway, wouldn't it make more sense to add the paprika at the end? Does adding it before baking actually make a difference?

Immediately afterwards? I've been told to wait at least half an hour after eating, or else brushing will have a negative effect on your teeth.

Still, some are closer to the source of these ideas than others, think about awards attributed to individuals for example.

This is where the researchers would disagree with you. I don't know if you've ever been involved in research (or startups). There's a common saying that ideas are a dime a dozen. It's much more so the work you do that's important, not the idea itself.

Notice how being in the spotlight is an important aspect of all the professions you've listed. That naturally selects for people who are comfortable with or enjoy being on camera and are good at that kind of live performance. Similarly, science selects for people who are good at doing science. Sometimes, there's an overlap, but it's not that common.

If you're interested in interviews with prominent scientists, Lex Fridman does quite a few of those. But if you want more people to do this, you'll have to contend with the fact that most scientists simply have no interest in being on camera and probably never developed the skills needed for it.
