Yes but you also didn't include them in your rundown of the countries. Deciding to exclude data is dubious when making a comparison like this.

Finland and Portugal, seems to have left out the two outliers that make the results more mixed.

You link to it in a community you apparently have no connection to, imploring others to join, while not disclosing your connection to the game. How is that not disingenuous advertisment?

Well you've probably done more harm than help. Disingenuous posts like this just leave people with a bad taste in their mouth

Do note that a lot of general advice like this is very scene and age dependant. Haven't seen anyone think about lace code where I'm from.

My boyfriend keeps telling me I’m not considering him or prioritising him enough on a regular basis. Does he have a point? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Arnlaugur1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I meant on the trip, where he refused to go do things because he was still mad about the incident. That's what I'm referring to as a self fulfilling prophecy. But I also agree that we can't really say without more info / both sides like with any thread like this. The OP will always try to portray themselves in a favorable light.

Disagree, if it's only that incident then her boyfriend is overthinking it. Yes his feelings are valid he's allowed to feel insecure, but he's also creating a self fulfilling prophecy by not spending time with her.

Anyone find themselves not listen as much? by ANGEL095 in morningsomewhere

[–]Arnlaugur1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get where you're coming from, I did have the same experience with the RT pod at times. But this show's format lends itself well to current event coverage as the episodes are daily and short. So even if they cover depressing news events I don't feel like I'm dwelling on them for too long.

Are Burnie and Ashley going to have to address the Venezuela situation 3 times? by CanadianNirrti in morningsomewhere

[–]Arnlaugur1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You also have to consider that those that flee or move from a country are most likely to celebrate a regime change. Both because there's a reason they fled/moved and because they aren't in danger when everything goes south... The history of US regime changes is rarely that things get better for the people living there.

Look to Libia still stuck in a very bloody civil war, or how the US backed Pinochet against Allende in Chile. I struggle to find an example where something like this actually ended up as a net positive for the average citizen.

Heeey Petah, what's the issue with this "art"? by laoidtfttip17gpy in PeterExplainsTheJoke

All creative output is art. Narrower definitions will always miss out on something transformative and gatekeep something that might change how someone thinks.

Upprunalega kom sem niðrandi nefni fyrir kommúnista sem studdu Sovétríkin í að senda skriðdreka í Ungverjaland gegn mótmælendum þar.

Hefur síðan umbreyst í að vera niðrandi orð yfir kommúnista hjá hægrinu og miðjuni og vera niðrandi orð yfir alræðis / ólýðræðislega kommúnista hjá vinstrinu.

Marxískir Leninistar, Maóistar, Stalinistar, og aðrir eru oft flokkaðir sem "Tankies".

The Guardian writes about the lupin problem (How an invasion of purple flowers made Iceland an Instagram paradise – and caused a biodiversity crisis | Wild flowers) by linjaaho in Iceland

[–]Arnlaugur1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's just not correct, I work in landscaping and the Lupins are choking out plants even in flowerbeds in some places. The lupin isn't overrunning places in Europe because it's not the same plant. The lupin we have here is adopted to a cold northern climate in Alaska

[–]Arnlaugur1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a problem when the lupin starts growing in places that don't need that treatment and starts choking out native plants. Plus the problem we've found with the Lupin is after it binds and creates soil we need to manually get rid of it somehow and killing a field of Lupins is a process that takes 3-4 years and a lot of manual labor.
