@F1mech@jameypricephoto I didn’t like the idea when it was announced as it felt like a money grab, but I’m happy to say I was wrong and have really enjoyed the races there. Would get rid of Miami long before I got rid of Vegas
@FlameHorizon1@jack_whitcomb_ But people feel equally strongly that “it’s easy, everyone will pick red because why would anyone risk their life for literally no benefit” and so conclude it’s obvious everyone will pick Red and survive
@xfoM9@wolftivy I like this argument, it’s fun, but it does really stretch the definition of language. If language is defined as encoding and transmitting information then the finite bits are actually the language, not the continuous waveform
@ThanstonCrabb@Ceepz Agree with this. I live in London and earn a decent wage, but my mates back in the north east earn less but have similar quality of life
@mrsplawrence@MrRBourne Sure but that’s why we have pension credit and other benefits available for the poorest. There’s a debate to be had about whether there is enough support for the poorest pensioners in the UK, but the blanket statement that the pension is the lowest without context is disingenuous
@billmul65@tomhfh We have NHS and tax cuts on private pension saving at time of earnings. Other comparable countries collect tax on full wages then remit as higher pensions, and make citizens pay health insurance
@Majestic_Dimi@DanNeidle Except VAT is regressive, so if we put on things like bread, people at the bottom would have to spend more of their income as a % of total than richer people. However, doesn’t mean we couldn’t simplify the system a lot
@ClarkeMicah Are people misunderstanding this on purpose? Everyone knows you don’t change the length of the sunlit day, but given we have x number of hours of daylight a day, the question is when is it best to distribute those hours? A lot of people argue it’s better to be light after work
@TearShapedHeart Also, generally (depending on dialect), it isn’t pronounced the same way. When talking about an adult male, man is said with a long A and a hard N at the end, but when used as filler, the A is shortened and the N softened
@Chels1an They should have something like cricket, X cm either way and ref’s on field call stands. Can debate what X is, but at least then a tight off is off. Would need linesman to ref it properly though
