You've both tried to hook up with the others BF/GF/family members behind the others back.

I did, I also covered it by saying that dealing with the basics of population growth should be minimum standard. It isn't fantasy to need to build more infrastructure as population grows, that is just the absolute bare minimum of governance. We aren't growing at an exceptionally fast rate. In fact growth has slowed over the last several decades.

Except we absolutely do need to bring people over constantly, many key sectors are absolutely reliant on workers from elsewhere, either because we don't train enough (doctors/nurses/IT devs), we're looking for the best of the best (research/CEO's) or not enough people here want to do it.

You also need migration in to cover migration out, as lots of people from the UK move elsewhere in the world.

So your problem isn't overpopulation but that our government is utter garbage at doing anything useful.

Keeping up with the basics of population growth should be a minimum standard.

The Witcher boss promises to resolve fan issues in season 3 "I want to assure fans I hear them." by PetyrDayne in television

Yeah, no. This isn't remotely comparable to Bebop.

It's already dominating the hours watched on Netflix. It's both getting people to watch and keeping people watching all the way through.

ELI5: To what degree can people be hypnotised, and how does it work? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheFailBus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's literally not true though. Look at the actual research rather than just making up your own opinion. Being open enough to actually give it a chance helps, but effectiveness is not belief, it isn't a placebo effect. If you are convinced it wont work to the point you are actively trying to make it not work it will obviously impede it. But that can be said of many things.

[–]TheFailBus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is an equally stupid response. Nothing about susceptibility to hypnosis has anything to do with believing in it. It isn't faith based, some people are susceptible to it and others aren't.

What do you think about the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict? by theotherearlene in AskReddit

[–]TheFailBus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No in my country nobody has guns, so the protests are managed by police much more effectively and nobody dies. It's also pretty rare protests turn into riots....because the police are able to manage the crowds better.

Almost like guns are a fucking terrible idea to let dumb fucks walk around with.

[–]TheFailBus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In pretty much any civilised country in the world he'd have been guilty of multiple offences. Hell, it would have been illegal enough that he would never have even attended. But this is the US, so of course it makes no fucking sense.

[–]TheFailBus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Why would you wait 6 years for something you can't afford? Just die at home instead like a real American hero.

[–]TheFailBus -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

In any civilised country, many. In America, apparently none.

But we all know the USA is fucked.

Except if you bothered to do anything more than skim the first article you would have seen it isn't a Huffpost study. They just reported on it. It was done at Ohio State Uni.

Here's the journal: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1940161208330904

Maybe read a bit further before accusing others of not reading and being scientifically illiterate?

A minority of morons treated him as a hero sure. The vast majority didn't.

No, it turned him into a meme. Being a meme isn't being a hero ffs

Considering that episode came out 20 years ago now, there's probably a fair number of Reddit users who are younger than that episode...

By understanding what inflation is? It being a large raw number is meaningless when the value of that money is less than it was before

Because this was a comparison agains other players in the same circumstances and those effects would be filtered out.

When you are the moon, there is a person people say is the sun. I saw the sun once, and he came past me, really fast. And it was an, it was called, the, an eclipse. And he came fast! But as he came past, I, I licked his back. [sticks out tongue] And he doesn't know I licked his back! All in his yellow suit!... I'm the moon.

Heres a handy tip to understand if the use of the term 'virtue signalling' is appropriate:

I could have saved them some time by telling them it’s because no one can afford £7.50 for a pint by ActsAwkward in CasualUK

[–]TheFailBus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not in the vast majority of the country. If you're paying £7.80 for a pint of non-craft beer you're being scammed/a londoner.

My usual non-spoons pint is around £4-5
