Liberalism is just letting people do what they want so long as it doesn't interfere with letting people doing what they want

Support gay marriage? That's liberal.

Support corporations paying people 30¢ per hour for 18h workdays? That's liberal.

Support people having access to HRT and abortions? That's liberal.

Support people owning guns? That's liberal.

Support unrestricted immigration and trade? That's liberal.

The problem is it doesn't fit in with the US definition of "left" and "right" - it's economically far right but socially far left, and most Americans just cannot understand that

That's half true... Spain has two exceptionally good teams whereas other leagues have fewer, but have way more very good teams where Spain only have "ok" teams. Compare teams in midtable or towards the bottom of the Premier League or Bundesliga with teams towards the bottom of La Liga and it's clear that Spain has a huge power imbalance and is suffering as a result as the quality of the opposition just isn't as good.

Wait wtf, how hot does it have to be for you to wear shorts?

I'll begin wearing them 100% of the time at 50F and 0% at maybe 30F?

And then I'll have to cower indoors in underwear only at 70F or so, as that's *too* hot

Life expectancy is how long you can expect to live from birth. It being 30 implies that you can expect to live 30 years, however in fact you'd most likely live <5 or >50 years

Already too hot 😶🔫

Yeah, like the others here I don't see it for German (just see !ich_iel@feddit.de, posts there go hard & into all feed pretty regularly) but I only really see German and English posts... I can't remember my filter settings, but I think I set them to allow all languages so that could be due to other languages being downvoted, the instance that I'm on or the biggest general use/non-specialised instances being English and German

Yeah nah

It looks just as similar to pretty much any desktop interface of the past 40 years, and openwindows isn't even the first thing with that design

Floods, generally

Generally the houses are old enough that they're from before we forgot that building on floodplains is a bad and that entrances should be perpendicular to the slope, and when every few years we'll get a day with 200mm of rainfall these houses are generally fine even if some roads get ripped up and swept away, but the new houses that get designed by people hundreds of miles away who think the 1500mm of annual rain they get is as much as anywhere could possibly get (try twice to quadruple that...) often get absolutely destroyed

People also generally have 4x4s as you will need something raised to get through roads sometimes, or to pull people who don't out

Especially with swipe typing - the only times I find I'm typing in a whole word is if swipe typing repeatedly doesn't get it (eg have when I'm trying to type gave), or when I'm typing a word that isn't in the dictionary. That means the vast majority of the time autocorrect would kick in it would be unwelcome anyway

Nah, I get spam for my personal website where I host projects etc and also use as a convenience domain... It's pretty clear that I don't actively want to be indexed (if they wanna do it then sure but I'm not sure what they're searching for) and yet they're still talking about how they can get me more sales for my... Open source tokeniser and instruction set I guess?

I think approximately 30 days off is pretty much standard in the developed world, with 23-27 of those being whenever and 3-7 being fixed public holidays (nyd, Christmas etc)

Sounds like you haven't invented Europe yet, even if you spring for a non-Eastern vareity it does make the price of dino juice, houses and cigarettes increase

Medicine

£110/year or so for unlimited medicine prescribed by a doctor

Health insurance

Who needs it

College

Usually free or at least heavily subsidised (even in places like the UK where you're paying £10k/year the government also plays about £5k-40k towards it depending on what course etc.)
