I’d use knife and fork but you do you.

Nice rule of thumb: 7% increase per year means doubling in 10 years.

No u

It’s not healthy, but it’s cheap: a hamburger at McDonald’s — €1.40, if I buy fries with it, €3.50.

3.50€ for a meal isn’t cheap and nothing a poor person can afford on a regular basis. I can cook a great meal for under 2€ that doesn’t consist of trash. What a detached asshole.

Still statistically worse for women than many countries.

As a millenial: yes they are the best so far.

Is there any good, current article listing the economical consequences of brexit for the UK?

Good.

Die.

You rip off small pieces, roll it in paper and light it.

I disagree. Smoked food is delicious.

Or food

HODL lol

Yeah that was some stupid shit, but coal was phased out at the same rate as nuclear in the last years. You also got to take into account that the decision to phase out nuclear was made before a critical mass (lol) of people realized that CO2 is a far bigger problem. I think the plants could be run some years more, but it takes more to flip a switch for that to work. We neither have personnel nor the supply chains anymore and building new plants will take decades, so it’s far easier to just put all effort into renewables.

Yes because we have nothing else and never will.

Weird, I thought we were living in a literal 1984 dictatorship. Did they forget to tell Putin?

Two possibilities:

1. Apathy - people stop voting for parties that can be a counterweight to the far right.

2. Abbreviated analysis/Feelings over facts - people are more likely to fall for politicians presenting themselves as underdogs who are going to revolutionise the political landscape, which is a strategy fascists like to use. “Drain the swamp” is a perfect example for that, and if I remember correctly, there were a lot of potential Sanders supporters who voted for Trump. I know both are more or less opposites, but both provided a canvas for people’s feelings that “politicians are all the same” and that fundamental change needs to happen. The latter is true, but with proper analysis shouldn’t lead to voting for the far right.

The both-sides-narrative only helps the far-right.

Could be declared a medical product.

Which is the only legitimate use case, but I bet >99% of straws produced aren’t used for that.

Hitler didn’t create a cultural identity for Germans, that already happened in the 1800s.
