    I see, that’s understandable. We all have pet-peeves. Mine is the date format in the US that has spread month-day-year. Most of Europe is day-month-year and it’s very confusing when people start adopting US formats because they watch so much stuff from the US.






  • I’ve been told (verbatim):

    The lower classes are struggling because immigrants have lowered the accepted pay below minimum wage. They accept any job and are willing to accept worse working conditions because it’s better than what they know. The local population thus cannot compete. Once the immigrants are kicked out, low paying jobs will be forced to increase their wages and working conditions to make it palatable to the locals.

    It kind of makes sense, until you start asking questions like:

    • why would the wages go up?
    • why do you assume working conditions would get better?
    • if the wages went up, wouldn’t the prices go up and the lower classes still struggle?

    Then I just get “we’ll see, but first we have to get them out” at which point the discussion ends, because there’s no discussing when somebody’s changed their mind. I am curious though, maybe studies have been done on this? Maybe there are serious projects on the effects of banning immigration?






  • I want to watch a series where every episode is a re-imagining of the ring girl. One where she challenges people to console matches and pops out of random people’s TVs, one where they try and find ways to kill her in imaginative ways e.g put a TV on the bottom of an airplane so she can fall out or a TV in space, maybe another one in which she exits the TV, the TV is destroyed and she’s now stuck in the real world, and other stuff. Some funny episodes, some sad, some violent, and so on.
