They reward increasing the number of people who are formally married, rather than the number of stable couples.
Such a wonderful example of misaligned incentives, only a politician could come up with it.

lol I can’t even begin. I regularly use 4 languages, even defining what a pronoun is barely possible. Native speakers argue about the correct usage for some of those
Unless you’re in the fashion business you’ll always feel like you’re behind on trends.
One idea for a regular person would be to buy whatever mainstream stores are selling at the moment and try to combine it in unique ways. You will sometimes get bad results sure, but there will be less pressure to follow trends if you start coming up with your own styles.
I don’t really disagree, it works with tobacco, so there’s merit to the approach. I’m also hesitant to put the emphasis on overt pressure, nobody likes paying more taxes and it’s easy to undo.
Patience. Do you really want to read everything neatly digested and miss the pleasure of arguing in comments 🙂
My main argument is that being able to buy a car without too much hassle will make it less likely to actually do so, as long as public transportation can cover most of your needs. Just knowing that you can will give you enough peace of mind not to actually do it. Because you can.
Note: I’m making a point about car ownership, not making it convenient to drive in a city. Driving the car should be discouraged through urbanist policy and design.
Being able to own a car ≠ owning a car.
This is my main argument here. The relative unaffordability of a car makes it more desirable and more likely to be bought once a person is financially capable of doing it. See every Eastern European country where car ownership was extremely low until the exact moment an average person could afford one.

Everyone should be able to own a car, and be able to afford keeping it in a garage for rare situations where it makes sense to use one.
This is a winning narrative.
I won’t try to change your mind because I agree with you. Well I agree that’s how many policies are implemented, not that DEI necessarily has to be implemented in such a way (putting the emphasis on poverty is also a type of DEI).
I attribute it to these ideas coming from the US. Americans have internalized racism so much that they are unable to think about people without categorizing them into a race. In a way it’s a final manifestation of the “equal but separate” ideology. Races must remain separate no matter what, but we can talk about mechanisms balance the discrimination by applying discrimination in the other direction.
Deep breath … I will not mention politics … deep breath … I will not mention politics …
A basic stainless steel mate kit. I wasn’t a mate drinker before, now I occasionally do.
immense, extended, extreme violence
It’s been 80 years since the last round of immense, extended, extreme violence. Those who remember and their children have died, even their grandchildren are old. Here we go again…
Like El Salvador didn’t have enough of their own criminals and prisoners, so now they are going to import more.
Ecuador elections are coming up on Feb 9. This seems to be a pre-election stunt, but I have not idea how could it possibly help the incumbent president get reelected.
Maybe king Charles could marry king Frederik, but only in Canada, putting you into a personal union
Make up some story about technically joining the EU when the UK did because you had the same Queen. But not being bound by Brexit vote.
True, it’s not really a thing any more. Two reasons I’d say:
That being said, the term is still used in the open source software community quite a lot.
You need to find a local lawyer. The level of connection between land ownership and mining rights differs wildly across the world. Plus the seller might have been obligated to disclose the situation before the sale.
Idk who you talked to, but I think most European beer enthusiasts would agree that a lot of American beers are awesome. Especially what you mentioned: various IPAs and Stouts, you guys started the modern interpretation of those styles.
Maybe someone who thinks only lagers are legit beer and everything else is “hipster crap”. I’ve met some people with those opinions.
Yes, the way media writes about it is a huge part of their success. Even the media that nominally opposes them. It’s either “oh just another political option”, or “inhuman monsters of the far-right”. Either approach legitimizes them.
