Is this the obvious counter example we’ve been waiting for to finally disprove Betteridge’s law of headlines?

What decade are we talking about here?

No thanks, we don’t want Elon

People have advanced from not reading the article to not reading the excerpt in the post. Quite impressive really.

Say 50.1% of the population vote to leave so it’s on, then some people change their minds or some people die while others turn 18, then it’s 49.9% who want independence so it’s off.

Thats exactly how it went with Brexit, except that they still went through with it.

😶 I lived for a few months just down the road from there a Piazza Lima. Somehow managed to miss the monument. Perhaps because after a while you start ignoring what looks like yet another WW1 monument.

Do you remember the name of this town. Poking at Google maps I find one in Malesco North of Lago Maggiore?

Ah, crap. I thought I could get away with not looking it up. Leaving original intact for my shame.

And obviously since it’s got Monica Bellucci.

It’s hard to avoid completely. Just clicking the link can be considered buying American. (Even worse that Wife and I subscribe to NYT. But WaPo got cancelled)

No one is saying neoliberalism is as far right as fascism.

GP comment said exactly that though. Although they did throw in an “about”.

Poland actually got rid of their right wing government in the last election in 2023 and are hopefully dumping the president who’s been blocking reform. It can be done.

Just fly Korean Air and you don’t need to bring your own kimchi.

For real, though, do it if you have the option. It’s the only airplane food I still enjoy

Perhaps help pass voting reform and then split apart once the system allows that without obliterating the party.

Amazon can eat the tariff costs

There is no way they can eat a 135% (or whatever the lunacy dial is at) price increase. Nobody can and those items just won’t get sold now.

You think it’s somehow fair that he gets 2/3 of a neighbouring country?

Unfortunately, being in the US, that would probably be another 15-20 grand to have done

Fucking hell. I told my doctors that the titanium in my arm was interfering with my rock climbing and weight lifting and they took it out. I think I paid some token fee.

In Europe, obviously

It’s not just you. We’ve all had a mild stroke now from reading this headline. I dare not open the article.

I agree there is a simple and more concise way of answering, but I saw it as a teaching moment to go a bit more in depth.

Yeah, I think what you’ll really get with a wall of text like this is that people don’t read it and you missed the chance to influence them at all. Case in point: I didn’t read your response. Just skimmed it for the above paragraph.

If you feel the need to write a lecture, at least answer the why question first. Otherwise people really don’t care about the mechanics of the damned thing.
