  • As great as reinventing the English language sounds, it's not realistically going to happen in a meaningful way, and making small regional changes (like the differences in the spelling of some words) is just confusing and annoying to everyone who isn't familiar with it or with English in general.

    With your example of the letter C, you'd need some alternative way to write the "ch" sound (which is sometimes pronounced as "sh", depending on it's usage) if you got rid of that letter.

    It's an ugly, messy, and confusing language. Popularising arbitrary changes like the ones Webster included in his dictionary (centre vs center, for example) serves no benefit to anyone - it just creates yet another variant of an ugly, messy, and confusing language.

  • I also try not to judge people simply for being religious, but it's pretty damn hard when it's the direct cause of their affirmative stance on things like anti-vax, anti-abortion, anti-contraception, anti-science etc.

    Of course there are people with those stances who aren't religious at all too, but they do seem to be in the minority.

  • I mostly agree with your points, but even the article title very clearly says 'could'.

    Russia had been encroaching on Ukrainian borders for years before launching their full invasion, and I'm not aware of similar actions against other European nations. It may be fearmongering, but unifying and strengthening NATO is in an important step to take to prevent Putin from going even further. He is heading towards his latter years now, and he seems to like the idea of restoring the 'glory' of the USSR and showing the West how big and stronk Russia is.

    Additionally, in a larger-scale war with other, better armed European nations, Russia might not hold back on using their nukes this time round.

  • Figure 1. Association between factuality score adjusted by country mean, parties’ left-right ideology (right), and populism (middle), and government participation (left) with 95% confidence intervals.

    I think this means that the y axis represents the deviation from the mean score, not the actual 'factuality score'.

  • Their system isn't set up to realistically accommodate third parties. Without actually overhauling the entire electoral system (something neither major party wants) the only way to get any third party representation would be a massively coordinated grassroots campaign that would require a huge amount of funding to overcome all the media attacks it would suffer.

    In effect, as the system currently works, a third party vote is a wasted vote unfortunately.
