Well, and that being said, my very personal perception is that the will to leave is more significant (without going into whether it's majority or not) in Catalonia, Galicia and the Basque Country. The other highlighted in my opinion would be happy with greater recognition of their peculiarities (namely language) and less dependence of a central government.

I'm sacrificing a lot of accuracy and nuance in order to keep my comment short.

It's a complex issue. It would be more accurate if it showed the share of people in each region that feel one way or another.

But to be able to do that, we should count them.

And Spain made very clear in October 2017 that such a count (ie. a referendum) is illegal.

So right now whoever says "the majority of X wants to secede/stay" right now, independently of being right or wrong, is doing so without data to ground that claim.

The Jews in medieval Catalonia were an important part of the banking system, but not the only ones. Non Jews, specially from Lingua di Si countries, and also members of the Court, engaged in loans and taules de canvi.

A bubble level. I guess the "spirit" part is because maybe origibally the liquid was alcohol?

Gen X ignored again, with which we are okay though.

This must be one of those classics that are classic t9 every generation.

There's a page somewhere that, if you allow it to, opens hundreds of tabs in the background pointing to a bunch of lifestyle and commercial sites so your shadow profile ends up looking nothing like you. I will try to find it again.

Oh, I was all confused interpreting chasers as gay guys into stocky hairy guys.

Clearly he wasn't afraid of the dog.

That isn't the problem about the dog being off leash, the problem is it being able to go after the wildlife.

Maybe he should have been colder headed maybe not, we could critisize his being in the right but being an asshole about it, but we cannot equate that to her being in the wrong and doubling down by consciously making use of her white privilege to make a false accusation that could have ended very badly for him. This is not a both sides situation.
