@kamilkazani Donald Trump did apologize after the Access Hollywood tape came out, and many Republicans who had called for Trump to withdraw from the campaign came back to support him.

@EyeOnStalk @BrendanNyhan The obvious solution is allow students to write all their essays fully aided by AI. The world they are preparing for will have AI everywhere - it is better to concentrate on mastering the skills that will be vital for their working lives.

@shanggyangg In long‑settled societies, population pressure pushed wages down to the point where diligence no longer guaranteed a better life. Under those conditions, utopian movements like communism could seem especially compelling.

@RokoMijic Unless otherwise specified helmets sold on Ali Express are most likely designed for East Asian head shapes.
East Asians have, on average, wider but shorter heads.

@Ilmarco9999 @HeraldOfRome Kent Damon, the father of Matt Damon, was approximately three quarters English and one quarter Scottish ancestry, along with distant Welsh roots.

Matt's mother, Nancy Carlsson-Paige, is of approximately half Finnish and half Swedish descent, with some distant Norwegian ancestry.

@flavicomus @jollyheretic There are economies of scale that make Finland rather unattractive for foreign chains.

Functionally Finland is an island, most of the supply chain and logistics need to be built separately for Finland; even Lidl made losses for many years when they got started in Finland.

@ZhukovRustam @IrvingGatell @kamilkazani Ashkenazi Jews without recent admixture are genetically primarily a Southern European population with surprisingly little Slavic ancestry:

@akarlin @avidseries Migration policy in most countries is framed mainly in terms of net contributors vs net recipients, better analogy for the modern state could be the limited liability company.

Citizens are shareholders who do not want to see their ownership stake diluted without compensation.

@BrotherRasheed It is obviously in the interest of Iran to allow oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. They only want to take their cut. There is absolutely no need for Europe to get involved in an illegal war of aggression.

@nixintel @P_Kallioniemi Macrotrends is not very reliable, they seem to extrapolate their figures based on past trends. The most recent fertility rate in Hungary is just 1.31 children per woman.

Even the economy of Hungary is underperforming compare to its neighbours.

@PokeCater @kamilkazani Mountaneous territories were often malaria-free and had a healthier climate in general.

@mattyglesias Hourly spot price contracts for electricity are a fairly common option for consumers in the Nordic countries - and if you do not heat with electricity usually, on average, the cheapest type of electricity contract.

@sandeepvr88 @Majmunspiuni3 @EerikNKross ... Local Purchasing Power in Moscow is 13.1% lower than in Tallinn ...

https://t.co/r0oaoi96BL

The difference between Moscow and Russian provinces would be much bigger than between Tallinn and the rest of Estonia.

@Hhmund @nrken19 @VladmirRabinov1 The inferred length of European ancestry tracts originating from the Norse Viking settlers would be noticeable shorter than from recent Danish admixture, no evidence of older Norse admixture could be found.

@CitizenSuburbia @DorianHunky @Kasparov63 Sweden had intact economy after the war and received only marginal Marshall Aid. Finland had to refuse altogether for fear of angering the Soviet Union. Norway and Denmark received modest amounts.

@AhernHerbe8277 @100YearsAgoLive Swedish speakers made up 14% of Finland´s population at the beginning of the 20th century, the vast majority of people in Finland were always Finnish speakers.

The written standard Finnish is relatively new, but the speakers of various dialects could always understand each other

@slantchev The most likely scenario is that Marine le Pen, Nigel Farage and Alice Weidel will be in charge after the next election cycle. All of them to want to compromise with Russia and stop supporting Ukraine.

@kamilkazani It might be interesting to look at what allowed few foreign communists, like Otto Kuusinen, to survive through all the purges:
