Strega replied to the topic UK entertainment media. How much is how things really are? in the forum Small Talk 2 years, 8 months ago
In the UK last year, there were just under 3,000 adoptions and 60,000 children in foster care. Ratio 1:20
In the USA during the same period, there were 70,000 adoptions and 440,000 children in foster care. Ratio 1:6
The disparity was studied, and one of the immediate difficulties in analysing the underlying data was that the vast majority of UK…[Read more]

Another late night. But I learned more technically and musically from this guy (see below), again. I noticed months ago and really appreciated subtle “bends” in Dany’s guitar riff in Narcisista, which was also consistent in each performance. Out of several reactors I’ve watched, the reactor below is the first one who’s pointed out that subtle…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 years, 9 months agoEnco, thanks for strawmanning the shit out of me. Your cop out is such bullshit, I promise this is the last time I engage on anything tinted by your libertarian ideology.

Thanks, that’s the most I’ve learned about them in an hour piece.
I struggle to hear more from Ale, and this confirms how she’s adjusted so well to her older sisters talking over her so much! I’ve been there myself, often just giving up, but I never see Ale giving up. She keeps looking up to her older sisters, while deferring to them. I’m…[Read more]

Enco, that is an even worse cop-out I expected to come from you. Do you have absolutely no intellectual dignity? Are you utterly completely incapable of conceding a point or admitting you have, at the very minimum made too grandiose a claim?

Davis replied to the topic Maui Wildfire: Disaster, Scandal…Coverup? in the forum Politics 2 years, 9 months ago
Enco, that people with more disposable income give more “charitable” donations is not in dispute. That is obvious. Of course that would happen. Once again I ask you, please present evidence that this would, assuming we end public support of essential programs that would provide assistance to the most vulnerable to ensure their survival and most…[Read more]

The level of homelessness in your country is staggering and the amount of people left to fight for themselves and literally die in the gutter is depressing.
I never claimed people do not donate money. Nor have I claimed that people aren’t getting more generous over time. I am simply denying your ludicrous claim that donations from private people…[Read more]

A lot of people feel different things during a reaction, so I’ve picked one that I’m guessing most people can appreciate.
Side-note, very few reviewers point out that the intro to this song, also replayed a few times in the song, is in 7/8 time, which is unusual. If you want to learn to follow it, count the beats one through seven, four times.…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 years, 9 months agoThere are plenty of problems with the Spanish constitution. And Spain (along with France, UK, the Netherlands and Portugal) did unspeakable things for centuries around the world and even until quite recently. Spain had a dictatorship until only a few decades ago and is an incredibly corrupt country. I don’t pretend to defend any of this and I…[Read more]

I’m feeling a bit of reversed Fair and Balanced now. Apologies if I’ve posted this before. Plus, it’s from 30 years ago, if you can believe it! This is genuine “woke” history, right? Before the movement was culturally disappropriated, e.g. by “All Lives Matter”.
