[..] 43% in favour of rejoining the bloc, compared with 40% who want to stay out. But once the 18% who say they don’t know are taken out, 52% back EU membership with 48% opposing it [...]
That's not a "majority of voters", that's a "majority of people who report to know what they want". These are not the same populations.
No idea. Maybe donations, fees from conventions, ad revenue...?
Why wouldn't the friends like it then?
"Regular difficulties in social interaction or communication" is litterally a symptom for autism, my dude.
Yeah, your teacher seemed to deal in absolutes: "it always happens" or "it will never happen again". I think that events can always happen (again) but they don't have to.
Not everyone has, or keeps their desire for sexual activity
Is it me or does this "World book" have a lot of US personalities on its spine?
Here's the socially acceptable solution, even in public: you pick it with a handkerchief on your finger.
If it were an ideal free market with an infinite amount of competitor, you'd be right. That logic ceases to function in a monopolistic context. In the case of YouTube it's not "go to the competition" because there's none. It's "stop watching online videos", which is still possible but a huge shift in habits, hobbies, and cultural environment. It's extremely difficult and only a tiny minority will succeed because human's psychology is a real thing.
In english, "I know you are, but what am I" is a childlish rebuttal to name-calling. It's like saying "no, it's not me, it's you" or "it's the one who says it who is".
It's the degree zero of rebuttal becaude there's no argument. In this joke, the rebuttal actually works in a court setting and seems to convince the judge.
I tried the fediverse with Mastodon to replace Twitter, but it didn't work out. On Twitter, I was exclusively following accounts of personalities/organizations. As these accounts did not make the switch from Twitter to Mastodon, there was little use.
I feel like the fediverse works way better with content aggregation. I don't really care who specifically is on Lemmy, as long as there is content and discussion. So far it's been really nice.
You know in the game Secret Hitler when the board has sufficiently advanced into fascism that it becomes strategic for the liberals to vote fascism and unlock a bullet? Honestly makes me think of that.
Not saying this is what needs to happen. I honestly don't know how americans can do to get out of their quagmire.
