I think 'most' is hyperbole for dramatic effect / increased engagement. "more files than you might think are actually following the zip file structure" isn't as punchy.

What I think you mean by "natural geography" is just one part of the field. Urban / economic geography (regional dynamics, housing policy, tourism geography, population analysis) and Historical / Social geography (historical urban geography, homelessness, migration, etc) Are big parts of the field of geography. Most of modern geography is interested in both the physical (more geology, climate, biomes, etc) and human aspects, and how they interact.

The lol per pixel ratio of this meme was significantly above the mean

Almost every part of this is wrong. But I suspect op's parents do have better music taste than them.

Are you mot going to respond the commenters points? He went to the trouble of reading the article, and you've complained that you can't discuss this because people won't listen to what's being said. So here's your chance.

People act like this hasn't been a thing for over a century...

Just installed. Looks good. I've been using transdrone and it works well, but your app supports torrent searching, which is very cool.

Yeah, I'm probably not in the market for a fold phone, given I'm not a gentle owner. But of money was no object, I would get a trifold, because it feels meaningfully larger, and a more appropriate aspect ratio. The current folds really underwhelm me, even if they were so overpriced.

Oh I improvise, and I never really plan meals beyond grabbing stuff at the shop. I try to use stuff up before it goes off, and am willing to eat stuff even when it's past it's best. When I have time I try to make stuff even just to freeze for later, but that's hard with a packed schedule.

But it's not easy, and sometimes I'm jealous of people who are satisfied with eating things repeatedly and eating to a routine. Since I love food, and love eating different things, I need to buy a good variety of fresh ingredients. But I'm disorganised and not good at going to market, visiting the butcher, etc. So we end up running out of food and just eating the same old things or stuff from the freezer. Or I buy too much when I go out, and then a week later the reblochon is stinking up the fridge, but I can't make tartiflette until we eat the salmon which is now kinda out of date but I don't have time to make a proper shellfish stock til the weekend...

Balancing "tasty food" + "limited waste" is easy if you work out a clear plan and stick to it. But either you have to do that once and give up on variety, or plan and organise every week and that's well above my executive function level.

You don't want to mess about with that democracy nonsense. We've had a monarchy that has worked decent for a millennium, and you want it replace it with some untested, newfangled system?

Don't know why you're getting down voted. Bots and media manipulation are a thing, Russia and many governments are almost certainly doing it on different scales. But you make a good point that our own governments are doing it do, and even before social media stories were prompted or hushed up for reasons other than newsworthiness or public interest. That's not a conspiracy theory, that's basic media history of the last century.
