This actually provides we here in the Post-Industrial US immense cause for celebration. All of our lives(Regardless of gender)are so cushy, we have the luxury of devoting days and weeks to mulling over an extremely far fetched hypothetical, the likes of which no one who isn’t living in rural Alaska will likely encounter

    Not really… it only says something about the internet, where a recorded conversation can include everyone talking at once and it can last as long as 1 person is still willing to respond to it (even if years pass).

    Also I’m sure there’s some fallacy (or more) here, as it’s very likely there have been some truly ridiculous conversations in survival situations that we would never have any chance of finding out about (because of death or simply because of privacy). That and it’s a pretty human thing for mismatch for a lot of different reasons, so using that as evidence for how great things are going (or even how well people are or aren’t handling things) doesn’t really work.

    EDIT: Or pulling back… you’re allowed to have more than one problem at once, including ones of statistics. I mean I do find this one tiring yet I do understand the point.
