I 100% agree!

I sincerely hope that after Ukraine wins the war, the parties that now support Ukraine will go on and support the people in Russia and Belarus instead of going back to doing business with the likes of Putin and Lucashenko. The people there risking their lives deserve it.

If you can't afford a house, you can't afford to upgrade a castle to meet current day living standards like running water and electricity. Also don't forget the long ass cable you'll need to buy to connect your remote home to the internet. Or even more expensive, also the equally long tube you'll need to send your fecies to the sewer system. There is a reason why you don't tend to come across some homeless dude when you're visiting those ruins.

Thanks, I continued looking further into it as well and found another article on it, which states:

Retailers reported a 93% increase in annual shoplifting incidents in 2023 compared to 2019.

So I believe you are right. Guess op proves that often you can have either interesting text with poorly supported numbers, or boring text with well supported facts. Too bad though, cause i did actually enjoy reading the article (so extra shout-out to op for sharing).

Shoplifting happens 93% more often now or is the statistic that the value of stolen goods increased by 93% in total? I feel like that matters a lot.

Edit: the article quite well written if you ask me, but lacks sources. There is a graph, but that doesn't show the numbers mentioned. It shows losses of 31.1B in 2019 and an estimated 47.8B in 2025, which is a rise of ~54% not 93%. It presents itself as investigative journalism, but feels more like a op-ed instead.

Even more unpopular opinion: British royals should hire Americans to relearn those unfashionable words lol

Sure it did, I'm saying it remained regular.

Unpopular opinion 1: the us should invite some Brits and learn to speak regular English again.

Unpopular opinion 2: the us should split up and adopt their local version of English as their official language.

Thanks for sharing, i'm still trying to form my opinion and the context is bery relevant for that.

because they weren't happy with what the new owners choose to do with it.

I'm not sure, but as far as I understand the deal came with certain conditions and the new owner did actually break them.

You could have sold the house under the condition your neighbour has to agree to them cutting down the tree for example.

But i as far as i can judge this, the dutch government could have seen this coming and i understand why China doesn't like what's happening.

Expected it to be an error, i understood that the data came from MarketCapWatch obv
