ad infinitumI ' m really just telling you the solution to overpopulation is making sure we never reach the capacity of our technology and resources by constantly adding more technology and resources at a rate that outpaces our population growth . <| sep |> Ya look up the stat line of Michigan vs South Carolina <| sep |> Surprised you have time to post on here given your busy schedule as the genderneutral posterboy ? postergirl ? posterperson . <| sep |> I must learn to knit . <| sep |> Criticize things you find unusual publicly . Familiarize yourself with things like tipping in restaurants as much as you can before visiting . If you ' re staying with American friends , wait until you ' re in private before questioning things . We have no problem explaining them , and aren ' t going to be mad at you for being perplexed , but openly criticizing or complaining about things that are very common to us could cause quite a scene in a public place , and we prefer to avoid that .
