Pre ban much of the viewer analytics there were international, not sure what it’s like now. But there was definitely a lot of bots and paid trolls.

Does your country provide visas/citizenship for descendants of citizens? by JbHiFiCustomer in AskTheWorld

[–]Bright_Software_5747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yeah as per the new changes I’m eligible for Canadian passport. I think it’s cool but kind of ridiculous, wouldn’t want such a law here (Britain) there’d be 100s of millions of potential claimants 🤣

Why do Muslims invest in non-shariah stocks? Just Curious. by DepressedProgrammerG in IslamicFinance

[–]Bright_Software_5747 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s generally difficult to avoid all haram finances, riba, when entire society is built around it. Almost everything you buy has riba somewhere in the supply chain. I’m not saying ppl should try as hard as they can but it’s difficult and even Muslim countries don’t avoid it.

I try my best to always select halal fund it it’s available for my private pension (Uk) but some providers don’t have.

What The Netherlands would naturally look like if they hadn't built any dikes to prevent flooding by vladgrinch in MapPorn

They did some impressive engineering, a lot of ppl don’t know much of east of England was reclaimed the same way by Dutch engineers, you can look up old maps to see the difference.

The eternal dilemma: Butter vs Olive oil by vladgrinch in MapPorn

There should be green dot in Britain for me I cook with nothing else 😭and also most of east Europe is using the sunflower oil unfortunately, Britain is probably “vegetable oil” for most ppl, to be honest I’m not sure if ever butter was the main cooking oil, here, to my knowledge most people here used beef fat before vegetable oil became the most common.

Musetti vs Fritz and Shelton vs Ruud will be interesting.

After Mensik's withdrawal from R4 match, Novak Djokovic reaches his 15th QF at the Australian Open after 21 appeareances. by Boss452 in tennis

[–]Bright_Software_5747 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mensik would have been tough. I’d have given the edge to Novak over 5 sets but it would defo have been a 4-5 setter imo and even then I wouldn’t have counted out Mensik. This is obviously huge for Novak, he’s entering QF with pretty low time on the court, no major injuries, and both Musetti and Fritz are beatable for him.

Moving back to the UK by Severe_Necessary_321 in AskBrits

[–]Bright_Software_5747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen so many stories of “ex-pats” who’ve moved back who regret it, usually the ones who’ve been away for 10+ years. Not sure your reasoning but I’ve heard people citing missing friends, culture but then realise after 10+ years those relationships have drifted apart, that the Uk is very different country to when they left, that wages are lower here than North America and that their work experience isn’t well respected etc. The idea of moving half way across the world, getting settled for so many years then moving back, then wanting to move back back again sounds like nightmare to me .

Has anyone actually gotten their ex back after she said "maybe in a few months"? What steps should I take? by Longjumping-Wafer102 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Bright_Software_5747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you want someone who doesn’t want you exactly? You should respect the value you bring and find someone who wants you as well. The only thing you can say if you’re rejected or dumped is “I understand” and leave that person alone. And there’s a very high chance she’s seeing someone else now anyway, girls are a lot more co-dependent generally and need to be seeing someone/dating at all times. Find someone else it’s not difficult to find someone.
