Off-street parking is worse than on-street as it requires crossing cycle lanes and sidewalks, usually without traffic controls, so increases the interactions between other road users and cars

it's very rare in any language, complexity at the start is not uncommon, but complexity at the end is, also the ordering of the consonant types and the fact there's two fricatives in a row at the end, it's not just a word that not only has no place existing, but also one that should be so unstable it'd change to something less complex in decades at most, yet it's stayed pretty consistent for a while

It's also actually 4 consonants as there's an unwritten k in many accents, or ng is pronounced as ŋg in others, so stɹɛŋ(k|g|∅)θs

I'm saying that the government led organisation will have had a negligible impact compared to regular people, therefore the levels of organisation (ie people publicly saying "I'm going to vote for x/y to show my support" and other people seeing that and thinking it's a good idea) aren't that big of a deal.

Also I think it'd be incredibly shocking if the EBU or at least individual broadcasters don't already have requirements for tackling vote manipulation from suspicious/newly registered phones and especially voip services so a state organised campaign would have even less of an impact

I also see your source on the organisation is twitter (and I can't even find the tweets there), so I'm inclined to doubt it's true given nobody's even reported on it, never mind people coming out and saying it's happened despite the number of people in multiple countries who would be required to be sworn to secrecy to get something like that to work

And there was an "organised plan" for Ukraine in 2022 insofar as people decided to vote for them regardless of their performance, which the few people who supported Russia in the conflict were probably pretty mad at, but couldn't do anything to stop, just as people who support Palestine can't do anything to stop Israel supporters here.

The reason Israel didn't win is they have fewer supporters, but how Palestine's supporters and frankly neutrals also are feeling is how Russia's supporters and the smaller number of neutrals there felt... It's impossible to keep politics out of this and it's just a shame really

You see humans everywhere you go

I don't know if it's that unless you live in Nigeria, India, SEA etc.

In high income countries, the cities have grown in population and there's fewer people in rural areas, so sure you're going to see people in cities in urban areas and in touristy rural areas during common vacation times, but that's been the case for ages and for the rest of the time there's still plenty of easily accessible places where you can get away from people.

There's also people capitalising on people wanting to be away from humans so they advertise "retreats" which are full of other humans, but just don't go there and camp in the middle of nowhere instead and there won't be humans for miles around

Idk it depends, I got billed close to 1000€ by German healthcare after damaging a ligament despite me having a valid EHIC because "you're not a German resident so you have to pay", it took forever dealing with my own healthcare system who refunded me and I assume chased it up with your system, but still they're a bunch of scammers

Sure taking gold out of a hole to put it in a different hole is a waste of resources but there's kind of a driving force towards that because if the currency is actually useful then people aren't going to use it as currency and if it's easy to produce they're going to counterfeit it

Same with cryptocurrencies, they're hard to produce and functionless, so a huge waste of resources, and frankly same with (high frequency) trading of stocks, as you don't own them when the dividends are paid yet you put huge resources into them because other people want them because of their inherent value

That's not an addiction then?

Moderation is literally the opposite of addiction so what you say is fine. What I'm talking about is drinking sweetened drinks with every meal and/or eating sweetened snacks inbetween every meal and/or having every meal be over sweet... Even eating dessert daily after your main meal of the day is fine as the biggest issue is eating sweetened food when you intend to eat after, so as snacks or during the main parts of the meal

Re. your first point, 100% the USA.

However, that's one hell of a goalpost shift from "directly caused" to supported half... Also the North were provoked and threatened by the South as much as the South were by the North... The North invading was largely because they thought they could take the South though, not because they were scared by the South into doing it.
