I think this should apply to residents of a country too.

It is notorious that most people wouldn't pass the Citizenship test (or equivalent) of their own country.

I love that he states the year, but not the company or country that made it!

If chemotherapy would only gives 6 more months, not having it is a rational choice.

If chemotherapy would give you 5 more years, but you choose reiki because some influencer says it's great, not so much.

Andrew Wakefield is the ground zero of this. He will go down in history as a mass murderer.

I bought my great-niece a (*) knife for Christmas, and sharpened it to a razor edge before giving it.

No evidence King Harald of Norway snubbed Trump to meet Obama instead Former U.S. President Barack Obama was already in Oslo delivering a lecture.

Hilarious, but not true.

I used to think I hated Thatcher, and at the company I worked for, we took a bottle of champagne out of the fridge and drank it when she died.

But Trump sets the bar for "loathsome politician" so very much higher, that Thatcher now seems relatively benign.

Agreed in principle, but happy to report this is merely common, not universal.

The first time I watched it, and Elsa became queen, my thought was: So Arendelle has (in effect) a weapon of mass destruction in a medieval continent.

Is there an actual UK standard, or just a common practice?

Germany has a national register for over 3000 named types of bread.

So I can readily believe Germany has a standard for car parking spaces.

The most powerful thing is not the punch.

It's the full and considered acceptance of consequence.

The dread pit of

Making tools to make tools that make tools to make other tools to make projects.

But that last part rarely happens...

They really think they're entitled to wealth and power because of some bizarre law of the universe.

They don't expect to have to do any work, be it intellectual or physical.

It's normalised.

Trump does appallingly cruel/selfish/racist/ignorant thing just isn't news anymore.

Reform denies that it's racist.

Despite this, a *LOT* of self confessed racists find Reform to be the most appealing party.

How odd.
