@cremieuxrecueil "hottest day in May in 250 years" makes it sound like there was a hotter day in May 1776 - in fact it's the hottest day since records began, and by 2 degrees at that.
@ChampionsOTIce Gerald Bull was exactly like this - autist who just wanted to build massive guns for whoever would pay him to - Canada, America, defence contractors or ultimately Iraq which was what got him killed by Mossad
@eliotranch £18k pa = £9ph. The minimum wage when introduced 2 years later and only from age 18, was £3 ph. You were earning 3x that. Your experience was far from typical.
@Aella_Girl Hard to take this seriously with the sample's IQ being mean 128. Either the self reports are totally inaccurate, or it's such an odd sample it's hopelessly unrepresentative.
@patienceisalpha It's curious that they've abbreviated their own country to "NL" whilst spelling all the others out in full, even eg. "United States of America".
@_imey@TomWright165389@peterrhague Your hypothesis is that in 2024, Dubai mounted a worldwide marketing effort to redefine the term "dubai chocolate" because years earlier a few /pol/sters had used the words "dubai" and "chocolate" in the same paragraph?
@_imey@TomWright165389@peterrhague Neither of these say "dubai chocolate", and they never had any traction. The term that was widely used was "dubai portapotty"
@TomWright165389@peterrhague Very far fetched. The *idea* that rich guys in Dubai were doing horrible things to instagram girlies isn't new at all, it was just never called "dubai chocolate".
@Mark_McEathron@Cottonwood_331 "At trial, McEathron’s parents said he was with them at the time of the attack and could not have committed the crime" I guess your parents didn't feel the same way as you then?
