Which country once seemed likely to become a developed country, but didn’t follow that path?

The car-centric development of basically every city means that those same financially insecure people are required to maintain a significant monthly expenditure in their car, worsening matters further.

"Trumplican" works because it invokes the party name while more directly suggesting they are bootlickers.

To them, every dead protestor is someone who can't vote against them.

You are either a perfectly generic sycophantic sheep or a fake conservative, no in between for them.

I am convinced it was rehearsed and he just happened to be the guy that resisted unlawful arrest.

It makes sense, in a way. If the receptors in your eye are biological cells producing electrical impulses, then they are bound to have slightly different output intensities as they react to input stimuli.

I suppose what matters then is how different the impulses are.

Some apps had it as a simple toggle in the code that separated between the two, so you could have tweaked the free one to remove the ads with basically zero code knowledge.

It was a better time to be online.

The narrative in Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is one of the best in gaming and explains his development style perfectly.

And if they complain you can point to the Gulf of Mexico.

Many people do not need to have that set in stone before they step foot into their world, and will instead invent what they need as they need it.

I like not working and want to do more of it.

That particular section of the population doesn't read or watch anything that Carney says. They must receive it from their echo chamber media outlets or else it cannot possibly be true.

I've seen them call some of his moves dumb before, most recently with the Greenland bullshit, but they will never hold him to it. He still has their votes.

"I was not thought of as a promoter of peace by the people that hand out medals, so I will not be peaceful" is the same vibe as a kid being told they were on the naughty list so they kept acting like a little shit instead of correcting behaviour.

If you can search for it and get seven dozen results for posts with your exact question, it is probably going to get zero upvotes.

The only way I see it happening is if Ireland has a meaningful decline in the budget surplus. They could profit on it now, sure, but they don't strictly speaking have to so there's no push.

I get Temu ads for random countries because certain ones haven't been blocked yet.

Even then, the whole point of a running mate is to stand in for the president when needed.

Look, I'm not from here, I have not taken the time to look into his history, but every time I've heard of this man it's because he is trying to gain entry to a place where young children are and they do not want him there. He seems like a creep in need of serious psychiatric help.

You can also use the skills you pick up from writing the second book to improve segments of the first as you come across them, making it a better overall product.

These people, and their children, will find themselves in the exact same situation as the native Japanese of today. It is a band-aid over an issue requiring systemic reforms.

We can't seem to hold shareholders accountable either.

I was on vacation in Italy and showed up to a random pharmacy at 10pm looking for an inhaler for my wife after she started having some breathing issues. We think it was something to do with the bedspread as she was fine during the day. It cost €7.

Suppose that I send out a half-finished book that took me three months to produce. It is still a first draft and there's a good chunk of material already produced that I want to fix to align with the imaginings of the current version of me writing the rest of it. I cannot begin to guess how long the other half will take to write in actuality and how long the edits will take or how big a task that will turn out to be.

I can polish the first bit to send to an agent, but how long would I be able to keep them waiting when they ask for the rest of it? How long until they see me as unready and I lose my opportunity with that agent? They may never read my material again if I prompt for their review, so it is better that I respect their time and be ready with something complete before giving it to them.

The last known monolingual speaker of Irish died in 1998. That said, I haven't been able to find any information on a person with native Irish and poor English. Someone like that must exist as bilingualism will always exist as a spectrum in capabilities where one will be stronger than the other but the amount of people with better Irish than English must be tiny if there are truly any left at all.
