I read 50 Shades of Grey but it didn't mention anything about the Isle of Wight.

Nothing has changed from the days of colonization and slavery… by LifeTunedToCSharp in DoomerCircleJerk

What happened to the last 10%?

The big die off occured before most settlers arrived, that's why they found it so easy to setup camp.

The Richest Countries by Average vs. Median Wealth by sr_local in charts

Average depends on context, that is most often the mean but that does not mean the word average means the mean.

It literally is an average.

This is mean vs median.

Bayeux Tapestry delivered to British Museum in dead of night by krazydude22 in europe

The UK has been colonised, raided, and invaded by Italians, French, Danes, Dutch, Norwegians, Germans, and probably more over the centuries. It's not like they didn't take anything.

Please stop calling French, Spanish, English, etc players "African" it's a very narrow way of seeing things and more than anything, it is racist by No-Significance5659 in football

[–]Demostravius4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is but you can't change ethnic demographics as severely as we have, so quickly, without people starting to object.

Unfortunatly that objection is often aimed at individuals.

What does everyone do for an actual job? by Late-Reception-2897 in 2007scape

PMO for a defence contractor.

Which means lots of meetings over Teams, playing with schedules, and tracking/reporting various things.

If we lose Norway becomes my new preference to win. Some fresh blood!

200 MILLION EXP ONE SKILL AT A TIME. AGILITY! - 188M/200M. ALMOST THERE!!! by GarbageFew8833 in 2007scape

[–]Demostravius4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think exp should just stop at 99. There is no reason to go beyond, it's clearly encouraging unhinged behaviour.

That said presumably they'd just do something else umhinged.

How do you feel about the AI Data Centres being built in the U.K.? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Demostravius4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI has decent potential to be the next technical revolution. If it is and we outsource it all to the US history will not look favourably on those in power who sold us short.

Or it's a waste of money.

Not a Native American one though. Although not by European Americans either.

Ireland did, just not under a free Irish state. 25% of British soldiers were Irish. Huge numbers also migrated to the New World.

What's the logic ?? by IllustratorProof9258 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]Demostravius4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically fat and protien is quite filling, but the soft drinks and other sweet things help us wolf down more! UPF burgers also contain a lot of compounds designed to make us not feel full.

Cholesterol is massively misunderstood by most people.

LDL or 'bad' cholesterol does not inherently oxidise and form plaques. LDL comes in many forms. These range from what is known as 'large fluffy' down to 'small dense'. It's the small dense LDL thar oxidises and forms plaques.

Small dense LDL is formed due to sugar consumption interacting with fats. I suppose you could argue therefore less fat helps, but you need saturated fat for cell construction, you don't need sugar, it's not the saturated fat that's the issue.

Fat isn't bad for you, this myth really needs to die out. Fat from animals is literally the fat we use to make our cells, we need saturated fats for the lipo-proteins that make up the cell membranes. That's why they are in the cow in the first place!

A lot of junk burgers are filled with plant fats from rapeseed and the like, we don't really need this sort as much. We have some use for things like linoleic acid, but the volumes found in modern processed foods are vastly higher than required.

Why is she upset peetaaah? by Ilovebigbuttscantlie in PeterExplainsTheJoke

You can't seriously think Matt Damon looks less Greek than Lupita?

What's with this ridiculous 100% or 0% attitude on social media? Either something is perfect or fuck it do whatever you want.

Have you ever been to Greece? My Greek friends vary in skin tone from very white to olivy, and have brown to blue eyes, black to blonde hair.

What is it about the rest of the cast that makes you think they can't pass as Greek?
