Let’s assume Norway has 5 million people and the US has 300 million people, and they’re going to have a taco eating contest.
If every American eats 1 taco, that’s ~300 million tacos eaten. If every Norwegian eats 30 tacos, that’s “only” 150 million tacos eaten (30 x 5mil = 150mil).
If we’re talking about total tacos eaten, Norway “loses” the eating competition. But that’s not really fair because the US has 60x more people participating.
If we’re talking about tacos per person (aka normalizing for the population), Norway wins the competition because each person ate 30x more tacos than the average American.
So, which country eats more tacos? The answer depends if you’re counting total number of tacos eaten, or average number of tacos eaten per person (aka per capita).
“the genocide will get worse, and even more palestinians will need to die, but at least we can finally stop arguing about semantics of what genocide means!”
So are you rooting for us all to be done for (your first comment) or for us to hit rock bottom and bounce (your second comment)?
Sounds like you’ll say whatever you need to convince yourself you’re the enlightened one and above it all. Or, you just like Trump and don’t have the balls to say it publicly. I know a lot of people like you. Cowards
Maybe other people just enjoy something and there’s no reason to put them down for it. I wish I knew something you enjoyed so I could make fun of you for it. Sad person.
I was a long time subscriber as well, but canceled right before Christmas 2022. I missed it for about a week and then I realized most things I “needed immediately” from Amazon I could either 1) drive across town to purchase from brick and mortar or 2) actually just wait for it.
The end result has been me buying less things I don’t need, and buying the things I do need from local retailers (and of course big box stores), or ordering them from other online retailers since the shipping is comparable to Amazon.
2 years in and I don’t miss it at all, will never go back. I do want to watch the Fallout series though.
Old people have a suicide death grip on this country and they would rather die and be buried under the rubble of their own hubris than let the people that have an actual stake in the future change anything.
The graduation ceremony isn’t your reward for your work. At least, it shouldn’t be. Your reward for graduating is the opportunities that you’ve opened for yourself for the next chapter of your life. I didn’t go to mine and I haven’t regretted it for a second. The knowledge didn’t leave my brain, at least not as a result of missing graduation.
