European Citizens' Initiative to ban conversion therapy within EU is in full force!

France and Finland exceeded the threshold set so far. 1M signs and 7 countries is needed!

@nikolaushaufler This data is from OECD. Since the only other OECD member in the graph is Colombia, maybe some sanity check could be made with it.

Page 42 is gross wage in national currency.

Colombia is, by Jun2025 dollars, ~8000usd
Turkey is, by same metric, ~18000usd

@nikolaushaufler Where were the wage data taken, at least for Turkey, this seems too low

@KirkWilcox Many times I've encountered a person who said that, they also wanted much of the current legal immigration illegalized.

@BigB__9332 @MramericanJA @cafreiman You know 30% events happen roughly every 3 times right?

@wrp222 @cremieuxrecueil Why don't you

@koolmaddog1543 @Notafinite By extension The Boys' final episode number of ratings is closer to their typical episodes comparatively, so it's not so likely to be a hugely exogenous thing

[Auron Savant @auronsavant]

@koolmaddog1543 @Notafinite Problem is that's also consistent with it being a uniquely bad episode that compels more people to rate it than usual.

E.g GoT S8 E5-6 has like 6 times # of ratings than a typical episode of S6/S7. Is it review bombing, or more wanted to express their opinion on IMDb for those?

@waldenpod Which would not only be prioritizing your life over the unborn baby's, it'd be favoring your own 4 times as much. And most people think that's reasonable even in conservative states.

[Auron Savant @auronsavant]

@waldenpod I simply disagree. Risk to mother's life is the one carve-out more compelling to even conservatives than rape/incest (fewer states allowing for latter than former)

Most women, even most mothers pregnant with their 2nd kid, would go through pregnancy if it has 25% chance of death

@mediocrehomo Do you think 🤔 overweight just means obese? This man is over 25% body fat percentage for sure.

@PanasonicDX4500 @ferrariforrest Why is sitting a necessity, your name recognition as a VP does not go away that easily. The relevant data point is Joe Biden.

@PnishdMythMason @cillia There's a show entirely about them!

@Tecnoguy1 @Azuris753 @crankygoddess That so?

[Auron Savant @auronsavant]

@crankygoddess This is just erasing all of Europe south of Austria. Greece, Italy, Spain etc. regularly saw over 30°C a decade ago too.

@Kaaliyug Seeing the flags I do have an idea alright

[Auron Savant @auronsavant]

@AlexNowrasteh @RichardHanania Which is dumb because there's already a way to trade off wealth with higher white percentage of cohabitants. Move to Poland.

@BrammerAyse It's everyone's fault but the people who vote for him for 2 decades.

@SelimKoru Not the highest trust society, but I think it's a moderately high one. By Eurostat data among the lowest theft rate (should be adjusted for underreporting), supermarkets almost never have products behind plexiglass, most stores don't put down shutters when closing etc.
